How Do Sump & Ejector Pumps Work?

Sump pumps protect your home from flooding by automatically ejecting groundwater that’s beneath your home during rainstorms. Some homes also need a sewage ejector pump, also known as an ejector pump, to properly disperse sewage away from the home.

Any home with a sump pump basin is vulnerable to water damage if you lose power or the pump in your basin fails. Ultimately, backup pumps can make all the difference to protect your home with additional pumping capacities that prevent water damage.

Sump Pump & Sewage Ejector Pump FAQs

How often should I test my sump pump?

It’s recommended to test your sump pump at least once a year, preferably before the rainy season or times of increased groundwater. To test your sump pump, pour water into the sump pit until the float rises and activates the pump. Ensure that the pump removes the water efficiently and that the float switch functions properly. Regular testing helps identify any potential issues and ensures that your sump pump is in good working condition when needed.

How can I prevent sump pump freezing in cold weather?

To prevent your sump pump from freezing in cold weather, consider the following measures:

  • Insulate the Discharge Pipe: Use insulation around the exposed sections of the discharge pipe to prevent freezing.

  • Install a Freeze-Resistant Pump: Consider using a sump pump designed to withstand freezing temperatures.

  • Maintain a Continuous Discharge Slope: Ensure that the discharge pipe slopes away from the house, allowing water to drain completely and minimizing the risk of freezing.

  • Install a Sump Pump Cover: Use a cover to prevent cold air from reaching the pump and pit, helping to maintain a higher temperature in the sump area.

  • Keep the Area Well-Ventilated: Adequate ventilation in the sump pump area can prevent the buildup of cold air, reducing the risk of freezing.

Can I use my sewage ejector pump for other types of wastewater?

Sewage ejector pumps are specifically designed for handling human waste and toilet paper. It’s not advisable to use them for other types of wastewater, as they may not be equipped to handle materials such as grease, chemicals, or large solid objects. Using a sewage ejector pump for non-sanitary waste can lead to clogs, damage to the pump, and potential system failures. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and only use the sewage ejector pump for its intended purpose to ensure reliable and efficient operation.
