    I need a sewer injection pump to go up 100 foot hill, is that possible?
    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?

    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.

    [QUOTE=ma0641;3586901]100 ft. head is quite substantial. I'm sure, with a big enough wallet, you could find a pump to fit your needs. Sometimes you need to use a second pump station. Pump to the intermediate tank and then go up to the main.

    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
