Below is a list of a few things you never want to see break down: The 87’ Volvo you’ve owned since college breaking down during a long road trip. Your 87 year old grandma breaking it down during the bridge of a popular hip-hop song. (Most costly of all) Your sewage pump breaking down after your extended family comes over for a 4 course Thanksgiving dinner. Sewage Pumps are used to transport waste and solids up to 2 inches in diameter to a public sewer or septic tank. Though sewage pumps typically have a service life that can last 10 or even 30 years depending on circumstances and variables, they are not immune to certain malfunctions without regular maintenance. Below are a few signs and indications that you may need to call your local plumber or look for a replacement sewage pump. Smells Perhaps the most obvious (and arguably worst) sign your sewage pump needs replacing would be the-why-does-my-basement-smell-like-my toilet-bowl fragrance suddenly emanating from your basement. This could be an indication that your pump is not emptying the pit or basin after it turns on. Smells could also mean you have a pipe leak in your system. If you or your local plumber can’t find a pipe leak, this could mean your sewage pump is faulty and may need replacing. Continuously Running If the pump is running constantly this could be an issue with your float switch. Float switches basically tell your pump when to turn on and when to turn off. When the water within the pit or basin reaches a certain height, it moves the float switch which in turn activates the pump. If the float switch is tethered, make sure the switch can properly hang straight down and is not encumbered or stuck. Constantly running can lead to a pump burning itself out or significantly shortening its service life. Fluid not being pumped If your pump is running but the basin is not emptying of wastewater, it could mean that your pump is clogged or not drawing enough power to create the suction necessary to pump. This could also be a symptom of your pump being overheated and shutting off from thermal overload. Be sure to monitor your pump and to minimize any toilet flushing to ensure that no wastewater floods over your basin or pit. Please note, that if there are a few inches of water in the bottom of the pit at any given time, this is normal and nothing to worry over. Remember that taking care of your sewage pump will mean your sewage pump taking care of you. Pump repairs can be costly and it may be more cost effective just to purchase a replacement. Fret not because if you’re reading this, you’re in the right place.

As the old adage from the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu says, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Or to paraphrase, a single flush of the toilet! Get ready to witness a journey into the sewage system, guided by Inspector Pumphead.   Many people don’t want to picture what happens after they flush the toilet, which is perfectly understandable. It’s gross! But the expulsion of wastewater is one of the most important functions that underpins indoor plumbing systems. Understanding how a sewage pumping system works, can give you a greater appreciation of how water moves in and out of your house. This knowledge can also help you make better purchasing decisions in the future. With Inspector Pumphead, you have the perfect figure to guide you through the darkness. In this adventure, the brave Inspector will take you through a sewage system. Goulds sewage pumps are some of the finest on the market and the Inspector has a lot of experience with that brand. Don’t worry we've left out the gross parts. Check out the video:                                                                            Not every home needs a sewage pump First, you should understand when you would need a sewage pump. If you are connected to city sewer (as opposed to a septic tank system), your water flows to either a storm sewer or a sanitary sewer. As the names suggest, the storm sewer is where rainwater runoff is exported, while the sanitary sewer takes care of your wastewater. If a home or building is at grade (ground level), then the wastewater travels by gravity to the sanitary sewer. If the city sewer line is located above your home sewer line or you have a basement toilet, you need to install a sewage pump. The sewage works to push or “eject” the sewage up towards the city line (you will sometimes see sewage pumps referred to as sewage ejectors). Journey down through the sewage system In the first part of the video, Inspector Pumphead flushes himself down the toilet. Using the mixture of science and mysticism he learned while studying at Carnegie Mellon, he is able to shrink himself and scuba through the pipes. The piping is one of the most important parts of your system. Sewage pipes in modern homes typically use PVC plastic, which is tough, corrosion-resistant and relatively simple to install. Older homes often use cast iron sewage piping, which is rugged but susceptible to rusting over time. Just something to keep in mind when thinking about your sewage needs. The pipes eventually deposit the sewage, and Pumphead, into the sewage tank or basin. The basin is important because it contains the sewage pump and acts as the depository for the sewage.  The water also has the effect of keeping the pump motor cool. How does a sewage pump export your wastewater Once the wastewater is in the basin, it gets sucked up through the inlet at the bottom of the sewage pump. In the video, the homeowner has chosen a Goulds sewage pump. Powered by the pump’s impeller, the water. along with Inspector Pumphead, moves through the pump and out of the discharge outlet through more piping, which eventually leads to the city sewer line. Depending on where the basin is located, you might need extra piping, elbows, etc. to connect to the city sewer line. Where does sewage wastewater go Have you ever wondered what happens to your wastewater after it leaves your house Wastewater moves to a water treatment plant where it is aerated, filtered and disinfected to remove waste particles and other microorganisms. In a very thorough and complicated process, wastewater becomes clean “reclaimed water.” The reclaimed water is free to be reintroduced to the ecosystem, often used as groundwater, irrigation water or as a cooling agent. If you find the idea of your wastewater going back into the environment gross, just know that most states have regulations against using reclaimed water in potable systems (washing, drinking, swimming) where humans will have contact with the water. Still, reclaimed water is generally safe to touch. Lucky for us, Inspector Pumphead is able to use his extensive knowledge to escape the system before the water reaches the treatment plant. That’s how dedicated Inspector Pumphead is to helping you understand more about pumps and water systems - he’ll risk getting sent through a filtration system for you! Do you have any ideas for future adventures you’d like to see starring Inspector Pumphead Let us know in the comments and we can see if he is up to the challenge!

It is time for fancy no-look passes, buzzer beaters, walk-ons becoming stars, shots of despondent college freshmen in the stands and of course, that “One Shining Moment” when the champions of college basketball are crowned. That’s right, March Madness, one of the most exciting sports events of the year, is finally back!  Besides the action on the court, March Madness is known for mass participation in pools. Friends, coworkers, the girls at the salon, your church group, your prison shuffleboard team - everybody is filling out a bracket. While the basketball and pools are all well and good, there is still something missing. Who among us has not thought, while watching a mid-major from nowhere upset Duke, “I wish this helped me save money on pumps somehow.” Well fear not, because that moment is here. This year we’re introducing a great way to get discounts on pumps while also enjoying college basketball. We call it PUMP MADNESS. What Is Pump Madness If you’ve ever filled out a bracket before, you know that there are four regions (East, South, Midwest and West) consisting of 16 teams each. Each region is further subdivided into two groups or "pods" of eight teams each. You can see a visual representation in the official NCAA bracket here: Each pod is separated into a different colored box for your convenience and to help you visualize the concept. We made our own bracket, but with pumps instead of basketball teams. One pump type was assigned to represent each pod of teams. So there are eight different pump types (sump, transfer, sewage, booster, well, condensate, grinder and effluent) representing eight different pods. Now that you understand the relationship between the pods and the pumps, the savings come into play at the end of the tournament, when the winner is crowned. Whichever team cuts down the nets, will also create a discount at PumpProducts.com for the pump type of their regional pod. For instance, if top seeded Virginia (from the South 1 Sump Pump region) finally puts its tournament demons to rest and wins it all, PumpProducts.com will offer a 5% discount on all sump pumps in our online catalog. If the North Carolina Tar Heels (West 2 Effluent Pump region) repeat as champions, there will be a 5% discount on all effluent pumps, and so on. We thought of matching all 64 teams with 64 pump models but thought that may too ambitious. Maybe for future tournaments. The discount cuts across all brands and will be in effect for a full week after the championship game (April 3-April 10, 2018). There is no minimum order threshold and PumpProducts.com will reveal how to apply the discount after the championship, so stay tuned. Here's the full list of pump regions and the teams represented by each pump: -SUMP PUMP REGION (SOUTH 1): Virginia, UMBC, Creighton, K-State, Kentucky, Davidson, Arizona, Buffalo -TRANSFER PUMP REGION (SOUTH 2): Miami, Loyola of Chicago, Tennessee, Wright St., Nevada, Texas, Cincinnati, Georgia St. -SEWAGE PUMP REGION (EAST 1): Villanova, Radford, Va. Tech, Alabama, West Virginia, Murray St., Wichita St., Marshall -BOOSTER PUMP REGION (EAST 2): Florida, St. Bonaventure, Texas Tech, Stephen F. Austin, Arkansas, Butler, Purdue, Cal State Fullerton -WELL PUMP REGION (MIDWEST 1): Kansas, UPenn, Seton Hall, N.C. State, Clemson, New Mexico St., Auburn, Charleston -CONDENSATE REMOVAL PUMP REGION (MIDWEST 2): TCU, Syracuse, Michigan St., Bucknell, Rhode Island, Oklahoma, Duke, Iona -GRINDER PUMP REGION (WEST 1): Xavier, Texas Southern, Missouri, FSU, Ohio State, South Dakota St., Gonzaga, UNC-Greensboro -EFFLUENT PUMP REGION (WEST 2): Houston, San Diego St., Michigan, Montana, Texas A&M, Providence, North Carolina, Lipscomb You can also see if there are any storylines that associate a pump with a certain team or region. Wouldn't it be fitting if Kansas won a well pump discount for everyone who relies on well water in rural areas March Madness becomes April Savings The purpose of Pump Madness is to give our customers the hope of pump savings while they follow along with March Madness. Knocked out of your office pool on the first day The old alma mater let you and the rest of the Class of 1983 down again Never fear, because you’ll still have a reason to follow  the tournament. Just root for the team championed by the pump you need. Whether you're a homeowner who has been waiting for a price drop to buy that backup sump pump or a building manager thinking of buying new grinder pumps in bulk for your sewage system, pay attention! This could be an opportunity for great savings. Technically, the action doesn't really get going until the Elite Eight next weekend, but we wanted to give you a little taste of the excitement beforehand. You can enjoy the first weekend of the tournament without stressing about the pump you need and you don’t even have to make any picks! That's the beauty of Pump Madness. You don't have to do anything but be patient, watch the games and root for your favorite teams (or pumps). So get into gear; Pump Madness is here!

Welcome back to another exciting edition of Inspector Pumphead's Video Classroom! In this feature, I, Inspector Pumphead, will tackle a common question about pumps, parts or water systems using fun visual aids. This video is designed for those who like visual learning or enjoy a bit of fun in the classroom! In today's feature, my assistant Mike, will explain how to read a pump curve chart. The pump curve is something you should be able to find in the corresponding literature for any pump we sell. It is simply a visual representation of the pump's performance. The graph may be confusing or intimidating to those who don't consider themselves technically savvy, but fear not! This isn't a replay of calculus; curves are actually pretty simple to read. The above video will discuss the most basic type of curve which identifies pump performance through two variables: flow rate (or capacity) and total dynamic head. Those are the two basic things you need to know to identify what pump goes with your system. In the above example, Mike uses a curve from a Goulds WW05 3872 sewage pump. For those of you that like a written guide to go with your videos, read on below for a repost of a previous blog about pump curves. It goes into a little more detail and talks about more advanced curves as well. A Pumphead Classic all right! A common question that customers ask Pump Products application engineers is, "What am I looking at" in reference to the pump curve charts you can often find in technical manuals and brochures. The pump curve is simply a visual representation of the conditions in which the pump ca n operate. At the most basic level the relationship between flow (plotted on the x-axis) and head (y-axis) is displayed. Thus, if you know the total dynamic head capability of the pump, you can easily determine how many gallons per minute the pump can move. Knowing how to read a pump curve chart can help you pick the most efficient pump for your application, keep that pump running in optimal condition, and ensure a long operating life. If you need to replace a pump, the information can also help estimate flow rates for an existing system. Put simply, understanding the information on a pump curve chart can save you time, money, and a lot of maintenance effort in the long run. In this blog post, we will walk you through reading a basic flow-head curve and give a primer on reading more intermediate and advanced curves as well. (more…)
