Goulds RGS Series Grinder Pump System Packages Buyers Guide & Review

Goulds Pumps features the RGS series.  This series is a Grinder Pump System Packages which is an all-in-one units designed for use in high head sewage applications where a gravity system is not practical, as well as for pressure sewage systems. Both simplex (single pump) and duplex (dual pump) models are available. Control panels and float switches rated for either indoor or outdoor use are available for pairing with both simplex and duplex units.

Each package includes:

  • RGS2012 grinder pump (2x for duplex)
  • Control panel (indoor/outdoor; simplex/duplex)
  • Mechanical level float switches
  • A cast iron pump leg (set of 3)

The RGS2012 pumps operate at 2 HP, 208/230 volts, single phase power. The maximum flow is 41 GPM, the maximum TDH is 95′ and the maximum submergence level is 50′. The grinder uses an anti-roping cutter system with a two blade rotary cutter threaded to the shaft, while the stationary cutter ring is reversible for extended service. The cutter is paired with a silicon bronze semi-open impeller with non-overloading two vane design and pump out vanes for mechanical seal protection.

Control panel features vary by indoor/outdoor and simplex/duplex. Each panel does include a high level alarm circuit, a through door mounted pump run light, a top mounted high intensity flashing red light, and a corrosion proof alarm horn. The panel may also include color coded components (wiring, screw type terminals), a field wiring diagram, and a panel schematic for easy installation and field servicing. Auxiliary alarm contacts for remote connection may also be available.

Duplex panels include an alternator selector switch which allows the user the choice of either automatic alternation or a single pump operation, which can be useful if one pump is down for maintenance. A built-in lag delays the pump starting lag for five seconds if both pumps attempt to start simultaneously after a power outage.

Optional basins may be purchased separately. Guide rail and non-guide rail basins are available – check specific product listings for compatible basin listings. You can use the below chart to help make your choice:
