I am replaceing a very old system that
Had 2 holding tanks and one injection
Pump tank with a injection pump.
The new system will be a tank(small) and injection pump.
This needs to go up a 100 feet
And a distance of 150 feet, total .
This is for 2 households
One 3 people and one a single person.
Is this the correct way todo it?
Have the new system without the 2 holding tanks?

More details please! Where does your bathroom set that you have to discharge up 100 feet? Back to you, Tom

Thanks for your attention.
The house has 3 bathrooms .
The reason it needs to go so far up the hill is , this is where it connects to the city sewer .

100 ft. head is quite substantial. I'm sure, with a big enough wallet, you could find a pump to fit your needs.

Yeah, I suggest that you call ZOELLER company directly... click on Zoeller Corporation (http://www.zoeller.com)

If one 2" discharge pump will not do it you may need to set this up into two substations... ;)

Mark may have the solution. Consider installing a holding tank at the 50 foot level with a booster pump for the remaining 50 foot. Good luck, Tom
