Sewage Pump for Waste Applications

How do I choose between a sump pump and a sewage pump?
Choose a sump pump for clearing water from a pit and a sewage pump when you need to pass larger solids. Compare the horsepower and gallons per hour ratings, and measure your pit or drain before ordering.

Have a qualified technician or electrician install the pump, since it runs on electrical power. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and confirm that your power supply matches the pump's rating before you start.
