The DH071 can accommodate flows of 700 gallons per day. A single DH071 is ideal for one, average single-family home and can be used for up to two homes where codes allow and with consent of the factory. Just figure on cutting a hole and bolting a larger piece of plastic to the lidĬause this is a problem that aint going to ever go away. The tank is made from tough, corrosion-resistant HDPE and provides 70 gallons of capacity. The stainless steel blades, driven by a motor, then start to rotate. As the water level rises, the water pressure activates a microswitch causing the macerator device to turn on. Its the only way to gain access and spoon out the grease from the pit without having to tear the hell out of everything.Īnd its easier to change the mercury switch on the pump too. The toilet is flushed and the effluent is discharged by gravity through the rear spigot of the fixture into the macerator device, positioned behind the fixture. Then I stated it might be a good idea to cut out a round 'access panel ' in the plastic lid to be able to get into the pit without having to take off the complete cover.every year. Silocone seals up everything real good.just go out and buy about 5 large tubes of it and lay in thick everywhere SILICONE from DAP.or ALEX laytex from DAP. My suggestion, which I suggested to my customer is to get a new round plastic lid somewhere and simply glue it down to the lid with Or I sneak into the house at night and pour grease down the kitchen sink. I must live there and put the grease down the sink too. The grease gets solid in the pit.it aint pretty either. They clog up at x-mas when its bitter cold it sticks to the sides of the pit.Īnyway, we have had to change out pumps for this guy twice over the past three years. It is technically a glorified 'grease trap'Īnd no pump will pump grease.for long. If your ejector pit does the whole house,

I have a situation just like you describe with one customer.

the third plumber said I would have to get someone to drill them out and 3.) the system gets full of clumps of gunk and gets caught with the float or the float gets gunked up every three months or so, then I spray down with hot water - should this be necessary or are there alternatives to cut down on the junk build up.? Lastly, the second plumber that installed the new pump let a 2 inch diameter opening where the electrical comes out. if call plumber does he have custom cut or should he be able to find one premade 2.) Screws broken off inside of threads. how do I get a new lid that fits with breather pipe and ejector pipe e.g. Second plumber installed new pump that works well, but he doesn't respond to calls and now the third has a great reputation but doesn't do alot with these. first took advantage and broke screws off so now can't fasten lid properly. My whole house works off of one of these.
