Hello Friends,
I have a customer with a vacation home built on the edge of a rock bluff. The plumbing drains exit on the bluff side, and the mountain below is steep and of rock. I'm going to install a typical in-ground septic tank and field line in the front yard, which fortunately has enough soil for that.
I'll need a sewage pump system on the bluff side, but there's no practical way to bury one. The homeowner doesn't want a structure built to house one because of the expense, which on the side of the mountain would be considerable. I'll have to pour a pinned slab on the mountainside to provide a level place for the unit, I know, and run the electrical in conduit, but hope to avoid a structure. I've been looking and calling various pump system companies asking about an outdoor, above-ground system with a heater, but so far haven't found one. I considered a watering trough heater, but would rather have something made for the purpose, both to resist freezing and UV rays.
Any ideas out there? Thanks; have a nice weekend!
