Pump FAQs

THE PUMP WORKS IN POCONO MOUNTAIN REGION, PENNSYLVANIA

Q: My grinder pump keeps failing. What should I do?
A: Make sure to use your toilet properly and never flush cigarette butts, dental floss, or string down building drains, precisely because they can clog and even burn up sewage pumps by entering and binding the impeller assembly.

Q: Do cleaning products affect my septic system?
A: Cleaning products may alter the treatment process. Always read the label when choosing a cleaning product.
  • Danger means... chemical will kill the microbes; use it rarely or never.
  • Warning means... that limited use should not affect the system much.
  • Caution means... the product will have little effect on the system.
Q: How long should my grinder or well pump last?
A: It depends too much on how often the pump has to run. The pump that runs more is not going to last as long as the one that doesn't have to work as hard. Choosing a pump that is properly sized to your application and has good electrical supply connected to it will ensure the longest possible life for your pump.
