Grinder Pump Manual (PDF)

Grinder Pumps in Pressure Sewers details the use of pressure sewer system technology to solve challenging wastewater disposal requirements in which other methods may be too expensive or environmentally unacceptable. The handbook presents fundamentals with an emphasis on design, construction, installation, operation and maintenance. Grinder pump stations contain a number of complex, interdependent components that must be properly matched to ensure long, satisfactory and economic life. Referred to as “The Systems Approach,” this method allows consulting engineers, specifiers, users and others gain a better understanding of the interaction between the pump, basin, controls, valving and other components and how they interact to create a system. Grinder Pumps in Pressure Sewers includes typical system component drawings – an elevation view as well as aerial view – along with many common terms. Also presented is basin installation reference information, including an illustration.
