I am so glad I found this forum. Our house is 5 years old and we have been struggling with our sewage pump for about 3 years. I have had it cleaned out numerous times and eventually replaced. Recently a local plumber told me that I had the wrong type of pump installed in the first (and second) place. It is along the lines of a Hydromatic SP40 Ejector pump. He told me that I needed a grinder pump instead of an ejector pump because an ejector pump is more suited for an addition or basement. This problem has gotten worse over the years as my family has grown in size. I can't begin to describe the problems we are having with sewage in the side lawn. I can't afford to have one installed (quoted around $5,000) but I want to buy the pump and try to install it myself with some help. My question is what differences are there with electricity and what type, size, gpm, etc. do I need for a single family residence grinder pump? Also, what price range am I looking at to buy this pump and where is a good place to look? Thanks in advance for any and all help!!
