Questions & Answers
The pump is part of our basement bathroom plumbing system, which also includes a toilet, shower, and two sinks. That type of domestic sewage will undoubtedly be handled by the pump. I'm not sure what else it'll be able to deal with. Because of the sump pump, our plumber recommended that we not flush tampons down that toilet.
The pump's suction is created by turbine blades, and it claims to move solids up to 2 inches in diameter. That sounds like it would pump sewage, but the tank my pump is in is a sewage overflow. Zoeller has its own website and should be able to answer your questions there:)
In our basement, we have a kitchen sink, bathroom sink, toilet, shower, and washer (not all of which are used at the same time). We have two other Zoellers that we use for ground water and are very pleased with.
The Zoeller M267 Waste-Mate Sewage Pump has a maximum lift capacity of 20 feet. The number 5 denotes the time when the device is turned off.

I didn't require a septic pump, to be honest. My application only required an effluent pump, which is essentially bacteria-infested water. That said, I'm a firm believer in Murphy's Law, and spending an extra $100 to digest 2" solids with a cast iron impeller sounded like a good deal to me. Who wants to repeat this?br>br>A petite mail-order bride This was delivered to my front porch two days after I ordered it by a woman. I'm not sure how such a petite woman managed to lift a cumbersome 40-pound box. On the flimsy three-year-old pump that the previous owners installed, this thing easily has 25 pounds. Filling my 4'x4' effluent reservoir enough for the pump to turn on takes over 15 minutes with the hose. This baby pulls a respectable 8 while pumping it down in just over a minute on a 2" line. 4amps. br>br>Here are some ideas:
1. If you have a high-level alarm, replace the PVC piping and the float switch. It's only $25, and it's a whole lot less disgusting.
2. Replace the existing synthetic rope with a new one that is extremely strong. Make a granny knot that would make any boy scout leader cry.
2. Zip ties that are 36 inches long are the bee's knees. You'll find other uses for it if you buy some for this job.
3. Corrosive connections and a repeat job are avoided with watertight plugs. They are sold by a number of companies and appear to be identical. br> Take the plunge and pay each other $20. Don't forget about the male and female ends of the spectrum.
After reading a slew of positive reviews, I decided to order it. This appears to be the same sewage pump that plumbers use at home. Why do I distrust plumbers now, when they have never lied to me that I am aware of? Installation is simple and straightforward. It's going to be a mess, so brace yourself, hombre; you're in for a healthy dose of bodily waste from your friends, family, and acquaintances. Who knows what kind of strange GI issues your awkward acquaintance is dealing with. Gloves, safety glasses, and a respirator are all things I'd wear. May the stars always be on your side.
I recently completed my review of the Zoeller Backflow Preventer. So I thought I'd share my thoughts on this ejector pump. I live in a 1959 Mid-Century Modern home that needs a lot of TLC. (I'm looking forward to renovating it. ) Anyway, I kept smelling a foul odor when I first moved in. I had never worked with an Ejector pump before because I lived in the city. So, because I'm a nerd, I started looking into pumps. I discovered that Zoeller had the best reviews and reputation, which was confirmed by a plumber who examined the old pump, which sounded like an explosion every time it removed the waste into the water main. Each time the old pump "went off," my cats had a heart attack. I believe they haven't recovered from their trauma. (And, to be honest, I believe they're planning to reclaim me. ) br>This pump is typically more expensive than the "Plastic" models, which range from $100 to $200. 200 The Zoeller, on the other hand, is made of cast iron and is expected to last about 30 years. As a result, unlike the flimsy plastic ejector pumps, it will not be affected by water, and it will be much quieter due to its cast iron construction. When the pump turns on, I have to stop and listen to see if it's working. If you do decide to purchase the Ejector pump, make sure you also purchase the Zoeller backflow preventer. You will not be sorry.
The only criticism I have is that the packaging does not adequately accommodate the item's weight. When it comes to super heavy items, Amazon's shipping department appears to be lacking. The U-shaped bracket was slightly bent from shipping without protection, but that wasn't a problem; I bent it back and tossed the sucker in the well! She has a great ability to move water. I also ordered a clear check valve to see how things are moving. DON'T FORGET TO DRILL YOUR VENT HOLE IN THE DISCHARGE PIPES! As usual, shipping was quick.
With daily use, two laundry rooms, and two bathrooms, my previous Zoeller pump lasted 15 years. It eventually gave up the ghost. I was thrilled to find an exact match, which meant I didn't have to change any of the waste or vent pipes to accommodate the new pump. I'm hoping it lasts as long as the previous one. When we removed the old one, it appeared to be brand new on the outside, with perfect paint and no signs of rust. A small amount of sewage sludge was found near the bottom of the pump housing.
This was purchased as a direct replacement for the one in my sister's basement sewage ejector. I was able to salvage the model from the previous model. It's an unpleasant job, but if you're handy, it's not difficult. I'm a contractor who converted her basement into livable space years ago. I usually avoid plumbing work because I'm not very good at it, don't enjoy it, and have no desire to learn how to do it. But I was confident that I could help her. The pump was tripping the GFCI protection on the outlet, so we knew she needed a new one. I replaced the GFCI to make sure it wasn't the problem, which it wasn't. As a result, I knew it was a short or ground problem with the pump. It's also pointless to have it fixed. And finding a shop willing to do so would probably be difficult. Her original ejector was probably 15 years old at the time, so it's no surprise it finally failed. These are nice, heavy pumps that are more than adequate for a bathroom (or two).
