The displacement actions exert more force on the water so that it can be pumped farther away. This type of pump is used where the head requirement is high. The impeller creates a centrifugal force to create a continuous flow of fluid in one direction.Ī positive displacement type pump uses a displacement action to move the liquid up.

They have an impeller connected to their motor. They are Centrifugal and semi-positive displacementīased on the pumping mechanism there are two types of grinder pumps There are different type of grinder pumps. As a solution to this, some engineers in General Electric came up with the idea of a grinder pump. Moreover, occasional clogs were a headache. Even though sewage pumps were used to pump the sewage uphill, the head requirements often exceeded their capacity. Since around 50% of the land in the USA is not suitable for septic tank systems, pressure sewer systems were introduced vastly. They were made to address the increasing usage of pressure sewage systems during that time. Grinder pumps were invented by the engineers in General Electric during the end of the 1960s. This is why grinder pumps have higher heads than standard sewage ejector pumps. Using a small outlet pipe helps to pump the sewage farther, thus increasing the total height to which the sewage can be moved. Since the solids are ground to fine sizes, they can be pumped out through an outlet pipe of a smaller diameter like 1.25 inches. This grinding mechanism grinds solids like human waste, toilet paper, an occasional sanitary pad, etc, and it prevents the pump from clogging. Like I mentioned above, grinder pumps are sewage pumps but with a grinding mechanism. Therefore, a special type of pump called a grinder pump is used. However, if the wastewater has to be pumped far uphill, a regular sewage pump won’t be able to do that as the head requirements (the height to which sewage needs to be pumped) are high. So to remove the waster water, it needs to be pumped into the sewers. Since the main sewage is situated higher, the water from the house will not drain by gravity. Grinder pumps pump the wastewater coming from a house situated below the main sewage line in the area. (could the replacing of my expansion tank on my hot water heater be causing any of this? - Expansion tank was replaced somewhat recently as well.a 2 months ago).A grinder pump station More about grinder pumps I ask this because whenever my toliet refills in the back (during these instances) I never notice that the bowl itself is higher? (full of more water).It seems the refill comes on.fills the back of the tank to its given point.yet at the same time my toliet bowl isn't any fuller?Ĭould my toliet itself be leaking (possibly put back on wrong) and from is causing a suction of sorts and drawing water out of my tank.(thus I'm catching it via the refill turning back on.which I can hear). Could it be that my toliet is leaking out the bottom (into my sewer pipes).and thus this is causing my tank to refill the bowl?

I've replaced both the refill tube and the flapper.Problem has not gone away.Every so often (not exact time frame between when).but perhaps once an hour or once every few hours.(then again it has gone almost a full day without happening).my toliet will refill itself (the tank).ġ. Since this was done.I've noticed (within days) that my toliet has kept refilling.(as if the flapper or the refill were broken). Ok - I have an on-going issue now for several weeks -įirst off, I had my bathroom floor replaced about 3 weeks ago - To do so, they had to take off the toliet and then put it back in.
