Grinder pump

If installed in the yard, the holding tank must be buried deep enough that the pump and sewage pipes are below the frost line.

A cutting mechanism macerates waste and grinds items that are not normally found in sewage, but may get flushed down the toilet.

It is a good idea to consult the manufacturer or factory representative before purchasing a grinder pump station to ensure that more than one inlet hole can be drilled.

The tank has a lid made from heavy-duty plastic or metal that is bolted and/or padlocked shut to prevent entry by unauthorized persons.

should not be flushed or poured down any drain, whether the home is connected to a gravity sewer system, septic tank, grinder pump, or cesspool.
