    Grinder pumps
    Do you have a recommendation of brand of grinder pump that will readily handle feminine hygiene products and has a good history of this use?

    Hi Leff..

    I know of no sewage ejector pump or grinder that can "readily" handle feminine hygiene products.

    All the manufacturers that I know of void warranty on the pump/grinder if these products are used...

    Care to discuss... let me know.

    Viewed several on line. Little Giant 2 HP grinder pump looks pretty amazing. Any experience out there with this unit? Here is link to YouTube demo video of unit.
    Fem Hyg products, towels, knotted rags, leather glove, etc.

    Hey hey...

    That was not only an informative video... was funny, too! I knew grinder pumps cost like 3 times what a sewage ejector cost and I can see why now... ;)

    No question in my mind which way I would go if my customer had the money to invest... and I think that's what this is, is an investment.

    Thanks for posting the info.
