What is the difference between a sewage pump and a grinder pump?
A sewage pump passes wastewater with solids through the discharge line without cutting or grinding them. A grinder pump cuts the solids and then passes the resulting slurry through the discharge pipe. Grinder pumps are typically used in commercial applications, where local code mandates that one be used, or in high-head or long-distance applications.
