The GP 2016 grinder pump station consists of two pumps and tank. The grinder pumps, motor controls and level-sensing are integrated into two compact units, easily removable for service.

Solids are ground into fine particles that pass easily through the pump, check valve and small-diameter pipe lines — even objects that should not be in sewage, such as plastic, rubber, fiber, wood, etc. The 1-1/4" discharge connection can be adapted to any piping materials that meet local code requirements.

The tank is made from tough, corrosion-resistant FRP (fiberglass-reinforced polyester). The optimum tank capacity of 500 gallons is based on computer studies of water usage patterns. A single GP 2016 can be used for up to nine average, single-family homes, and up to 24 homes with the consent of the factory. The GP 2016 can accommodate flows of 6000 gallons per day.

The grinder pump is automatically activated and, because it runs infrequently and for very short periods, its annual electric energy consumption is typically that of a 40-watt light bulb.

E/One grinder pumps do not require preventive maintenance and boast an average of eight to 10 years between service calls. If service is required, the unique, one-piece core eliminates the need for in-field troubleshooting and servicing — the pump core can be quickly pulled out and replaced, meaning minimal maintenance costs and inconvenience for the homeowner.

Units are available for indoor and outdoor installations. Outdoor units accommodate a wide range of depths.
