The Goulds WE0511H is an excellent choice if you are looking for an Effluent Pump. This pump can move effluent (or graywater) in residential or light commercial settings. It was specifically designed for on-site wastewater treatment in multi-unit dwellings with expansive systems. Think farms, trailer parks, motels, schools and hospitals. Basically, any site that involves a large number of people using the system everyday. The Goulds WE0511H Effluent Pump can transport effluent containing up to ¾” non abrasive solids. It is a heavy duty pump at approximately 70 lbs. Construction Goulds Effluent Pumps are known for sturdy, well-designed construction and this model is no exception. The volute is rugged class 30 gray cast iron for extra protection. Specifically, the cast iron is thick enough to withstand 1.5 times (!) the shut-off pressure that could potentially be produced by the largest available impeller for the pump. Now that’s rugged. The shaft is stainless steel with a threaded design and the fasteners are 300 series stainless steel. The cast iron impeller is a semi-open type with pump out vanes that distribute potential contaminants to prevent clogging. The mechanical seal has two sealing silicon carbide faces and BUNA-N elastomers for containment. Extra special construction is particularly important for submersible effluent pumps because of the potentially corrosive effects of being submerged in and pumping out wastewater for extended periods of time. The construction of the Goulds WE0511H Effluent Pump ensures that the pump will avoid damage and perform for the life of the pump. In fact, while the pump is meant to be run continuously submerged, it can also be run dry for intermittent periods. Naturally, such a pump will need to be able to withstand certain temperatures and the Goulds WE0511H can withstand continuous water temperatures up to 104° F. Performance The curve for all models in the series is shown below: -CurveThe WE0511H can reach capacities up to 80 GPM and a maximum head of 45 ft. TDH.

The Zoeller 53-0001 is part of the versatile “Mighty-Mate” series of submersible pumps. Each pump in the Zoeller 50 series can easily be configured to act as either a sump pump or an effluent pump for a septic tank system, depending on your need. Each pump in this series is durable while remaining lightweight, compact, and easy to install. A particular point of emphasis regarding the construction is the importance of materials that can withstand the corrosive elements sometimes found in groundwater or graywater. The models 53 and 57 have a base cast iron construction, while the models 55 and 59 are made with bronze. The model 53 differs from the 57 in that the base is made of a special engineered thermoplastic base. The thermoplastic base is designed to protect the pump from possible rust damage. The screws, switch, arm guard, and handle are all stainless steel. In the interest of eliminating weak points, no sheet metal parts susceptible to rust are present in the construction of the pump. The 53 also features an engineered glass-filled plastic impeller with metal insert which protects from rust damage and is simple (as well as cost effective) to replace. The cherry on top of the cast iron sundae is the epoxy powder coat finish for additional corrosion resistance that was applied to each pump in construction. Each unit is also pressure tested All in all, if you are looking for an effluent pump that will last you a long time, the 53-0001 is an excellent choice. Besides the durable construction type, there are plenty of other features and benefits that make this an excellent choice for your sump or effluent application. A solid buoyant polypropylene float activates the pump, which operates at .3 HP, and either 115 or 230 volts. A watertight neoprene ring is inserted between the motor and pump housing. The motor itself runs at 1550 RPM and is oil-filled and hermetically sealed.  The sewage will be exported through a 1-1/2" NPT threaded discharge port. The model 53 is ideal for residential and light commercial applications with less than 20 feet of lift, which is probably why it is our best-selling Zoeller pump.
