Hello,
I'm currently trying to take care of my elderly parents in South Carolina, and there lift station outside the house keeps getting clogged. There have issues with the chamber filling up over the years, and just recently we've had to have someone come out 4 times in the past month ($400 a pop), and they say that there are sanitary pads that keep getting flushed that are clogging it. We asked if the pump might need replacing, but he said that's probably not going to help. My folks both have dementia, and we are posting signs and trying to tell them not to flush anything but toilet paper, but not sure how that's going to go. My question would be, is there a possibility we a better pump would help solve this problem? The Meyers pump (WGL-20(2hp) that is in there was installed in 2014 and from the looks of it, it is already a grinder pump. Don't know how necessary they are, but It looks some disconnected wires in the control box. Guessing they have been that way for awhile...(maybe goes to the warning light which no longer comes on).
Thanks for any advice here folks!
