I seen the review saying he uses this in sewage basin's so I bought it quickly. Is it actually designed for that kind of application as well?

Yes, it will work fine in that application... but it does require enough room in the basin / tank to move up and down from its pivot / attachment point to activate... not generally an issue.... just never sure of customers application... but feel free to call with questions. CSH 989-723-8985 Dan

As a Civil Engineer I specify this for sewage pumping chambers as a high water alarm if the pump fails. It goes in the pump tank, not the septic tank.

It can be used for any situation where you would want to be warned of high water before it actually gets too high especialy for a Sewage basin. I myself had my sewage pump go out & had no alarm to warn me of the problem so I could of shut off any waste water entering the basin. End result was a mess in the basement with a big bill for the pump plus the clean up. Worry free now with the alarm installed.

It can be used for anything I suppose. As long as you do not run more than 8 gallons per minute through the unit. These are designed for whole house application and using it for a recirculating application like a pool would not eliminate the bacteria as if there is bacteria present in the pool, all water has to be treated at once, it would infect the clean water as fast as the UV put it back into the pool.

Be careful. You could end up with a face full of raw sewage. Works well if connections are correct. Good luck

I have a septic system and green pig works great on it. I was having some overflow on my lines and it cleared that up. I also use a septic safe(northern) toilet paper. I had been using Rid-X, but now I am a green pig believer.J. KingJ. King

Don't know the purpose of the basin. Never saw one before. We have two we use ( no basin) and they work great!!

Rid X's purpose mainly is to promote the dissolving and destroying waste held in a septic tank, so will be able to run-off in the drain lines. I don't think it was intended to un-clog drain lines in your set up.

Yes. That is what I did with mine and it worked well for that purpose. The problem I had with mine was that it began to leak and one day after work I went to take my shower and found the entire contents had dripped out after 5 months of use. I bought another brand ( Toilet Tree item # TTP-TPC-01 ) instead and it has worked well since I bought it in May.

Don't know, I have used this product primarily on shower drains, residential toilets. It worked well for those apps, had to wrap a small towel around hose to help seal off the shower drain

Don't know. It is not a cleaner, it just generates microbes to break down sewage. Contact the company, maybe they can help.

I use mine at camp to fill the pressue tank. I have two sinks the flush and shower! It works great and runs very cool.

I have not, I use it to drain my hot tub on occasion. It did great for that but I am unsure of extended use like you mention.

We installed it in a tub shower - seems to work great for that purpose. Plumber said he thought it was a nice unit.

That's a great question, you wouldn't want to pour that mucky liquid into your plumbing system -- especially if it contains lots of pet hair. Disposal is one of the issues with water filtration systems. We live in a rural area and so we dump the nasty water into the same receptacle that holds the horse manure for pickup. I recognize that most people can't do that so maybe your best bet would be to pour it into a big trash bag you trust won't leak and then put it in your outside trash can.

Yes. It is a bit overkill, but I have found it to be the most effective way because of the directional pump. Just be aware that it removes water very quickly and to not remove too much.

Josh, I have heard this is an advantage for those who have septic systems. I do not have a septic system, so it did not matter to me. This product seemed to have worked, as my drain was running much faster after I used the product. I have always had to call a sewer service in the past to clear out the roots, but not this year.

If you are only using this for your water softener discharge you don't need a sewage pump. However if you are using this for solids also then this is the pump for you. Cast iron is the best. Stick with Wayne pumps as they are the best.

My husband has used it to water plants uphill from where it is connected to the water faucet and it has worked fine. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
