A grinder pump is placed in a tank (or well) that is buried in a convenient outdoor location on a homeownerâs property (grinder pump units also can be purchased for inside installation). The tank provides wastewater holding storage capacity. When water is used in the house, wastewater flows into the tank. When the wastewater in the tank reaches a pre-set level, the grinder pump automatically turns on, grinds the waste, and pumps it out of the tank via the homeownerâs on-site sewer service line and into the public sewer system.
A drum pump, also called an oil drum pump or oil barrel pump, is used to remove liquids from barrels, drums, tanks, and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs). Drum pumps consist of an intake tube, a pumping mechanism, an outflow hose, and often a nozzle of some type. Drum pumps come in many forms from the rotary type to a variety of other styles including lever, piston, siphon, double diaphragm, electric, and air. The 55 gallon drum pump is most common, because it is a standard drum size. The intake valve of a 55 gal drum pump is inserted into a bung hole, and the pump sits atop the barrel. The siphon drum pump, lever-action, and rotary drum pump, due to their simplicity, are the most commonly used type of 55 gallon drum pumps. An electric barrel pump reduces the time required to dispense liquids.
