I use only one size pump for all applications why do you carry so many sizes?

One size does not fit all. An oversized pump results in higher operation costs and causes effluent to surface because of increased presssure underground. Undersized pumps tend to work harder, hence shortening pump life and can also cause mounds to short circuit, LPP systems to not pressurize, and other problems. At Septic Services, we size pumps for free, thbis ensures that you get a longer lasting pump that works best for you.

What size vacuum pump do I need?

We need to know, how big is your vacuum tank, what is the application--are you pumping septic tanks, food grease traps, car washes or skimming, are you working on flat ground or in mountains or hills, do you pull long distances and does your pump run 15-20 minutes or hours at a time? We size pumps to fit the application for free.

Depends on the space available, application and weather conditions you are working in.

I have a 2” primary and secondary shutoff can I use them with a pump having a 3” inlet and outlet?

No! It will not allow enough CFM’s to pass through the new pump to keep it cool nor will the pump be able to produce the CFM’s it was manufactured for, causing the pump to burn up. Everything needs to be sized for CFM’s for a longer pump life. We size pumps and components for free.

Do I need a vacuum/pressure relief valve?

Yes the vacuum relief allows cool air to flow through the pump while under heavy vacuum adding longer life and better performance. Pressure relief keeps you from blowing up the tank and using excessive pressure on the system.
