Final Inspection: How a Properly Installed E/One Grinder Pump Station Should Look

This video series is intended to assist with installing an E/One grinder pump station. Refer to the installation instructions that shipped with the station (go to www.eone.com/sewers if you need to download instructions). Install the grinder pump station per the installation instructions and in accordance with local codes. Contact E/One Field Service or your local distributor for assistance (eone.com/sewer-systems/sales-....
Please note: In this video, this grinder pump station was installed in the southern United States where frost is not a concern, so the station is only 63" tall (Model WH101-63). Taller stations are available from E/One to accommodate deeper burial depths. Visit eone.com/sewers to see the full range of stations and available burial depths.

Trying to size a generator for this unit. Cannot find the start and running wattage. Can you answer please. TYIA

• If it’s a 240v pump, a 240V generator must be rated to start a 6500-watt load minimum.
• Never use an undersized generator; it will likely cause damage to the generator, pump and/or alarm panel.
• Allow the generator’s motor to warm up completely before supplying power to the grinder pump station
• Before connecting to the grinder pump station, measure that the voltage the generator is putting out unloaded. It should be 235 to 250 volts.
• When the grinder pump starts, it will need approximately 6500 watts for up to ¼ of a second at 240 volts.
• Once the grinder pump motor is running, the wattage will drop to between 500 and 1200 watts depending on the pressure sewer system’s pressure.
**Note: E/One does not recommend using any type of “Auto-Idle” feature (if your generator is so equipped).
