Effluent Pump

● Prevents backups and overflows: By swiftly removing partially treated wastewater, or effluent, effluent pumps avoid the accumulation of excess water, preventing backups and overflows.

● Reduces environmental impact: Effluent pumps aid in the proper and controlled distribution of wastewater, minimizing the risk of environmental pollution.

● Supports graywater recycling: In eco-conscious setups, effluent pumps facilitate the recycling of graywater for non-potable uses like landscape irrigation. This sustainable practice conserves water resources and reduces the strain on municipal sewage systems.

● Ensures consistent water features: In water features and fountains, effluent pumps maintain consistent water circulation, preventing stagnation and enhancing visual appeal. They also support the filtration and treatment of water in these features.

● Longevity of septic systems: The pumps contribute to the longevity and efficiency of septic systems by preventing the accumulation of solids and excess water.

● Reliable wastewater management: An effluent pump’s primary benefit is reliable wastewater management. It ensures wastewater is efficiently transported, treated and disposed of, preventing system failures, backups and potential health hazards. 

Remove the old pump and check valve: Unplug the old pump from the outlet and remove it from the pit. At this point, you should also disconnect the check valve and let the water drain out. While you can reuse an old check valve, it would be best if you replaced it along with your new sump pump.

Inspect the sump pump pit: Check the basin and make sure there’s a stable, level bottom for placing the new pump inside. It should be clear of water and debris, but if you see anything obstructing it, take a wet/dry vacuum and clean out the excess materials.

Prepare the new pump: Carefully take the new pump and check valve out of their boxes and set them aside. Make sure you have the registration information and the user manual to help you during this process.

Attach the PVC discharge piping to the union: Wipe off any water or debris from the existing PVC discharge piping with a rag. Liberally apply PVC primer and glue to the inside of your PVC threading union, and firmly place the union on the discharge piping for a tight fit.

Figure out the length of your piping: Measure the length of the tubing you need from the discharge of the pump to the union. Subtract the check valve’s size from that of the piping to determine how much you should cut the tubing.

Cut and clean the piping: Using a hack saw, cut the PVC piping in two pieces. Run a utility knife around the inside edges to smooth out rough, uneven surfaces. Attach the appropriate fittings for your pipe size, wrapping the threads in plumber’s tape.

Connect pipes to the check valve: Loosen each clamp of the check valve with a screwdriver and install the piping tightly into the rubber boot of the check valve. You may need to use force to make sure they fit snugly and tighten the clamps with a screwdriver.

Create weep holes: Weep holes prevent the pump from air locking, which is when the air in a pipe prevents the flow of water. To create a weep hole, drill a 3/16-inch hole in the pipeline between the pump and the check valve.

Install the pump: Screw the threaded pipe into the pump’s discharge area until it’s tight. Place the pump into the pit, ensuring it’s level and there’s space on both sides for the float switch to move freely. Tighten the union on the discharge pipe until it’s secure.

Connect and test the pump: Plug the unit into outlet and secure the cord with zip ties. Test the pump by partially filling the pit with water. It should automatically turn on and drain the basin. After you’ve ensured that the sump pump works, place the basin lid over the pit to eliminate odors.
