Storm Drainage System
Storm Drainage System
SYSTEM
Grinder Pump
All solids are ground into fine particles, allowing them to pass
easily through the pump, check valve and small diameter
pipelines. Even objects that are not normally found in
sewage, such as plastic, rubber, fiber, wood, etc., are ground
into fine particles.
The grinder is designed not to jam and for minimum wear to
the grinding mechanism. The AMGP comes complete with a
self-contained level control system, eliminating troublesome
float switches. The grinder pump is automatically activated. It
runs infrequently for very short periods. The annual energy
consumption is typically that of a 40-watt light bulb.
The 1 1/4" slide face discharge connection is adaptable to any
existing discharge piping.
The internal check valve assembly, located on the grinder
pump, is custom designed for non-clog, trouble-free
operation.
Units are available with a number of discharge hose lengths
to accommodate a wide range of existing tank depths.
Sumps or Tanks
• Only piping that is too low to drain into a
building sewer by gravity shall be drained
to a sump or receiving tank.
• Where the sump or tank receives
sanitary sewage it shall be water and air-
tight and shall be vented.
Storm Water Basin Duplex Tank • Equipment such as a pump or ejector
that can lift the contents of the sump or
tank and discharge it into the sanitary
building drain or sanitary building sewer
shall be installed.
• Where the equipment does not operate
automatically the capacity of the sump
shall be sufficient to hold at least a 24
hours accumulation of liquid.
Sewage Tank
Sewage tanks, unlike
storm tanks, must be
completely water and air

STORM DRAINAGE
The discharge piping from a pump or ejector shall be sized for optimum flow velocities at
pump design conditions.
Note: The diameter of the discharge pipe from a sewage or storm pump is determined by
the manufacturer.
