Sewage pumps are versatile and come in various forms. Here are some of the most common terms you might hear:
Effluent pumps are designed to move gray water (wastewater without solid waste) from septic tanks or holding tanks. These are common in septic systems.
Grinder pumps handle wastewater containing solids. They grind up solid waste into a slurry before pumping it to the sewer or septic system.
While technically designed for removing water from basements or crawl spaces, sump pumps are sometimes mistaken for sewage pumps. Some models can handle light wastewater applications.
Ejector pumps are used to move wastewater from lower levels, such as basements, to the main sewer line. They are often called sewage pumps in residential settings.
These pumps are fully submerged in wastewater and are common in residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
A generic term often used for any pump within a septic system, whether it handles effluent or raw sewage.
Though technically a broader term, drainage pumps are sometimes used to describe light-duty sewage pumps that handle gray water.
This term specifically refers to pumps that can handle untreated wastewater, including solid waste.
A general term that encompasses all types of pumps used to move wastewater, including sewage pumps.
The specific name for a sewage pump often reflects its intended use or technical features. For instance, a grinder pump is ideal for breaking down solids, while an effluent pump is better suited for gray water.
