Is this a reasonable pump, for my septic system, to my slightly up hill drain field ?

No. Septic systems treat much more than just sewage. The chemicals found in detergent and other substances will breakdown the materials that were used to create this pump and probably void the warranty. Your best bet is calling up Liberty and asking. I design sewage systems by the way.

All I can say is that this is the best pump I have owned and I used to replace one every other year. Also, I have two pumps in one sump well; one is set about 3 inches above the other. When it rains really hard, I need both pumps going at once.

No I think you would need a separate system for a bottom drain with a seperaye pump

Upward power is great....I use mine as a basement sump pump. Mine discharges up a pipe give feet then goes 90 degrees sideways to the outside.

Assuming the water pressure system in your house is adequate to support the basepump (there is a section on their website to help you figure that out) then yes it should pump out water from a pit up a length of PVC at least 8ft. We have roughly that height in our set-up.

I pushed it uphill about 150 feet with no issue. Please remember - this is a low pressure pump so if you are going to be just moving water, it is great. If you are looking for moving and pressure, you will not get.

I have a conventional septic system. Had it opened for pumping 4/28. Looked good. Guy doing he pumping gave it a good report. I use the green pig stuff quarterly. That was the 1st pumping in 4 1/2 years. Our system is a 900 gal tank that flows to a distribution box that channels the fluid to the drain field.

If your house has an outside drain clean out it will work. Mine is attached to the city sewer, and they actually prefer it be flushed vs sent to the land fill.

I tested mine and it will pump vertically for at least 6 feet without a problem.

I ran a short length of garden hose to my sump pump. It's not a heavy output. Dribs and drabs as the condensation collects.

Hi Cynthia, this pump would do it, but there are better units available for your purpose. It has adequate pressure, but relatively low volume, which I estimate would be down to around 1.5 gallons per minute with your particular application. You really need to look for specifications of around 7 - 8 gpm and 60 - 70 PsiChrrs Chris

No. You would have to mount the canister above the septic pipe in the basement as it is a gravity drain after the washing machine pumps into it. Your washing machine pump would probably pump it that high - especially if it is already pumping it into the septic pipe.

Yes it is. We have a septic tank system, and I've used this product for years. No problems.

You want to check out what they call a "grinder pump" for sewage systems. I'm using one in my garage that will handle up to 2". I bought a couple of Wayne EE980 submersible to pump clear water seepage from my basement sumps, which they work good for that.

My pump has done fine in an area on the side of my garage. I would call customer service at Pentair. They are very helpful and I'm sure they can give you a definitive answer. Hope that helps a little.

This is a standard sewage pump. There is a standard bucket they. Sell for it

We use sewer solutions with our RV; sometimes the sewer is 15 to 20 feet away and uphill. It has always worked perfectly. Info that came with our SS indicate you can use PVC and pump uphill for quite a distance.
