How deep should an E/One grinder pump be installed?
An E/One grinder pump tank must be buried deep enough so that the discharge pipe (force main) exits the tank below the local frost line to prevent the wastewater from freezing during winter months, which typically ranges from 3 to 6 feet deep depending on the climate.
The installation depth is dictated entirely by two factors: gravity and temperature.
First, the top of the tank must sit slightly above grade to prevent stormwater from flooding into the lid. Second, the gravity pipe carrying wastewater from the house must slope downward into the tank inlet. Most importantly, the pressurized discharge pipe leaving the tank must be buried beneath the region's maximum frost depth. E/One offers tanks in varying heights (from 60 inches up to over 150 inches) to accommodate extremely deep frost lines in northern climates, ensuring the pump and the pipes remain fully operational in sub-zero temperatures.
