A grinder pump shreds waste before pumping it, which suits long or uphill sewer runs. Here is the Oshkosh guide.
The job
The pump grinds solids into a slurry and pushes it through a small-diameter line.
The use
It serves homes below the sewer main or on long, uphill lots.
The care
Only flush what breaks down; wipes and grease are the usual cause of failure.
The call
Protect the pump from a jam. Call 888-217-3585 and Oshkosh Plumbing Helpers will match you with an Oshkosh pro.
