DESCRIPTIONS
SUMP PUMPS
Sump pumps are automatic pumps used to remove ground
water from sump pits. The most common application is for
basement drainage to prevent flooding in residential
buildings. These sumps are designed to pump clear water
only.
EFFLUENT PUMPS
Effluent pumps are pumps used to remove grey water from
septic tanks, sump pits or laundry tray systems. Grey water
is waste water from bathtubs, sinks, washing machines, and
other kitchen appliances. The pumps are designed to pass
solids 1/2 to 3/4 inches in diameter.
SEWAGE PUMPS
Sewage pumps are pumps used to remove waste water that
contains solids up to 2 inches in diameter. The most
common application is for draining bathroom waste water to
a sewer or septic line.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

SITUATION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, COULD RESULT
IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. TO REDUCE THIS
RISK, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS:
MAKE SURE THERE IS A PROPERLY GROUNDED
RECEPTACLE AVAILABLE. This pump is supplied with a
grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected
only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.
NEVER REMOVE THE GROUND PRONG from the plug or bypass
the grounding wires.
FOR ADDED SAFETY the receptacle should be protected with
a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). All wiring must be
performed by a qualified licensed electrician and comply with the
National Electric Code and all applicable local codes and
ordinances.
DO NOT REMOVE POWER SUPPLY CORD and strain relief or
connect conduit directly to the pump.
MAKE SURE THE POWER SUPPLY HAS A FUSE OR
CIRCUIT BREAKER rated to handle the current (amps) noted
on the pump nameplate or cordtag.
