Whats the difference between a standard sump pump and a grinder pump? How do I decide which to install?
A sump pump is designed to remove excess water that enters the basin from the drain tile installed around the perimeter of your foundation. A grinder pump is designed to macerate sewage into a fine slurry and then pump it to the main sewer line located above the grade of the property. The decision on which type to install is based on the application it is intended to serve.
