Many grinder pumps, like Xylem’s RGS2012 Residential Grinder Pump, are designed for residential and commercial sewers where flushable wet wipes are present in the stream. Once the wastewater inside the holding tank reaches a certain level, the grinder pump will turn on, cut the waste materials into tiny bits and pump the slurry to the central sewage system or septic tank. flows through a home’s pipes into a grinder pump’s holding tank. Waste from a water-using household appliance - toilets, sinks, etc. Non-Clog Impeller: The solids material passes between the vanes of theĪ grinder pump is a wastewater transportation device that helps filter household waste, like personal wet wipes, to the larger sewer system. They are removed using a large filter screen that is lifted by a hoist, or in a settling area that separates and removes the wipes by a front-end loader since wipes don’t break down within the time frames for which sewage treatment plants are designed. Because of these potential harmful effects, flushable wipes need to be removed and dumped, often at the municipal level. Clogging can occur when a number of wipes get stuck in a pump, or if debris builds up on the flushable wet wipes that are already stuck in the system. Unlike toilet paper, wipes don’t disintegrate easily or quickly and can clog sewage treatment equipment and home septic systems. The waste being flushed through the modern wastewater stream today is very different than in the past, with flushable wet wipes as a prime example. Because of this risk, it’s important to understand how these flushable wipes can cause system destruction and what pumps should be installed to better handle them.
But this convenience can come at a high cost as demonstrated in news reports about the detrimental effects these wipes can have on plumbing systems.
Sales of flushable wipes have increased due to their convenience.
