Sewage and grinder systems have made moving wastewater from low elevations or difficult areas possible for a long time, and Zoeller Company is not new to the market. However, the company has recently added improvements to its preassembled 24x24 sewage and grinder package systems.

“Zoeller did an update to the aesthetics and functionality of the cover on top of the 24x24 package system,” says BJ Hentrup, marketing manager for Zoeller. “The new look is more aesthetically pleasing and the removeable inspection cover improves functionality.”

System packages include a 2-inch solids sewage ejector or a grinder pump, a 24-by-24-inch poly-molded basin, a polystructural foam cover with 2-inch vent and an internal 2-inch PVC discharge pipe.

Various pumps are available in multiple horsepower options from 4/10 to 1/2 hp. They are manufactured from cast iron or thermoplastic, depending on the model, and automatic or piggyback configuration is offered. Pumps also come equipped with thermal overload protection and utilize a nonclogging, plastic or bronze vortex impeller.

According to Hentrup, the redesign of the cover was made possible by conversations they had with installers using the previous system in the field. Since the update was made, Hentrup says feedback has been tremendous. “Our customers and installers have been waiting for something like this cover redesign for a while, and we are excited to finally have it out there.”

Users will now find a removable access port for quick inspection and maintenance with no bolts to remove to access the internals. The sewage and grinder packages also feature a removable spring-loaded PVC float tree for easy inspection of the floats.

The basin features molded torque stops for added pump support. At only 24 inches deep, it can be used in shallow-burial applications or troublesome areas. The basin can hold 41 gallons with 25-gallon capacity below a 4-inch inlet. Zoeller utilizes an anti-floating device as well as a 360-degree molded handle as a secondary AFD to keep the systems in place. Each unit comes equipped with a high-water alarm and is fully assembled.

Each unit is shipped with a clear cover to protect the system during installation and construction, and they are built to be stackable for efficient shipping and storage. 800-928-7867; www.zoellerpumps.com
