I'm considering buying a sewage pump as a standby since I have a very old sewage pump pumping the downstairs bathroom of our hillside house. Could I stick the backup sewage pump into a sump basin connected to a french drain inside our crawlspace until the old sewage pump finally dies? Our crawlspace get wet at one corner only, with what I estimate 20 to 50 gallons of water per year. That's not much but I like keeping the crawlspace bone dry if possible and it seems wasteful keeping a sewage pump just sitting in a box unused (and there really expensive too).
It would be wise to install it in a sump instead of letting it sit. The seals in that pump are oil-lubricated. Typically, if it will not be running for an extended period of time you'd have to rotate the impeller by hand every 3 months. Installing it in a sump is even better.
Installed new sewage pump.. pump disposing water n waste .. however after that tru pipes hear loud rubble n bubbling racket Noise for two seconds. How can you make that noise go away?
I have 5 pumps just like that one (I've had a pump system making me miserable for a long time). The wires on the side where it joins the cord melted. Is it possible to repair these?
So how does it actually work how do you set it up and how about water from a bathroom sink how do you get that out of the house if your in a basement
My septic is filled with heavy rain water. Can I drop one slowly into my tank to pump the water to another location away from the tank
What’s the reason for recommending not using a chopper sewage pump on a septic system? Thanks In advance.
A trick : you can watch series on kaldrostream. Been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Bobby Elian Yup, have been using Flixzone} for years myself :D

How to select certain pump for numbers of bathrooms .
Can it be used in muddy foundations??
can we use sewage pump for cement and sand slurry?
No, they are not meant to handle such abrasive materials.

Here's a video we made on replacing the power cord on a sewage pump: ua-cam.com/video/Ly60kBWILcg/v-deo.html
Why not use a grinder pump for septic systems? You didn't elaborate.
We have a whole video on the: "5 reasons you don't need a grinder pump"
"Never use a grinder pump to pass to a septic system"?? Huh? Where else should it pass to? You confused me there.
Same. I refuse to believe you can't use a grinder pump before a sewage pump.
its the worst job is what it is
