What is the power consumption of an E/One grinder pump?

A detailed Q&A on What is the power consumption of an E/One grinder pump? for engineers and utility operators.

What is the power consumption of an E/One grinder pump?

Haynes Equipment Company, Inc. — founded 1961, headquartered in Olathe, Kansas — is one of the Midwest's leading manufacturers' representatives for municipal water and wastewater equipment, and an authorized E/One distributor.

How much power does an E/One grinder pump consume?

An E/One grinder pump is incredibly energy efficient; because it only runs for a few minutes at a time when the tank fills, a typical residential installation consumes roughly the same amount of electricity as a 40-watt lightbulb left on continuously, costing less than $30 a year.

Homeowners often worry that adding a massive wastewater pump to their property will spike their electric bill. However, the E/One pump is not running constantly.

A typical family of four generates about 250 to 300 gallons of wastewater per day. The E/One pump operates at roughly 11 to 15 gallons per minute. This means the pump only actually runs for about 20 to 30 minutes total over a 24-hour period. Because the 1HP progressing cavity motor is highly optimized for short, powerful bursts, the electrical draw is negligible, making it one of the most cost-effective utility appliances in a modern home.
