    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.

    Yeah, I suggest that you call ZOELLER company directly... click on Zoeller Corporation

    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
