I would love to hear more about your solution. I want to integrate it with my Control4 Home Automation System somehow, and your method seems to be a nice compromise.

@@CharlesAlvis That device did not hold up to cold weather. I ended up using YoLink instead. They make an outdoor contact sensor that works well in cold temperatures. The sensor is YS7707-UC. I cut the wire going to the switch from the transmitter and connected the wires to the alarm contact in the E/One Alarm Panel. The YoLink hub is in my home and connects over the internet to my Hubitat Hub. YoLink uses LoRa for device communication. Their range is much greater than Z-Wave and Zigbee.

Grease....cooking grease is a pump killer

Do you have one you reccomend?

• If it’s a 240v pump, a 240V generator must be rated to start a 6500-watt load minimum. • Never use an undersized generator; it will likely cause damage to the generator, pump and/or alarm panel. • Allow the generator’s motor to warm up completely before supplying power to the grinder pump station • Before connecting to the grinder pump station, measure that the voltage the generator is putting out unloaded. It should be 235 to 250 volts. • When the grinder pump starts, it will need approximately 6500 watts for up to ¼ of a second at 240 volts. • Once the grinder pump motor is running, the wattage will drop to between 500 and 1200 watts depending on the pressure sewer system’s pressure. **Note: E/One does not recommend using any type of “Auto-Idle” feature (if your generator is so equipped).

The use of 1-1/4” PVC pressure pipe Schedule 40 or 80 and polyethylene pipe SDR 11 or SIDR 7 are recommended.

Hi Mike, Thank you for your inquiry. The power consumption of E/One Grinder pumps is typically quite low, but it is dependent on how long it runs and what pressure it runs at. Below is an equation that can help you estimate the power consumption, keep in mind that we are talking about estimates and typical data. This information can vary based on the quality of the power and the individual site conditions. It is from page 7 of the “E/One Low Pressure Sewer Systems Design Manual” eone.com/images/files/lpsdesign.pdf The following shows the typical KWHR per month for a home using at 250 Gallons Per Day (GPD). Using 7.76 KWHR/month would be 93.12 KWHR per year. At $ .11 per KWHR, that would be $10.24 (if the system pressure is lower or if the daily flow is less, the cost estimate will be lower) If you would like to discuss this further, feel free to contact Derek Lachut at dlachut@eone.com

Unfortunately, no. A 220V system is not capable of running on 110V. The motor and internal controls utilize (and are wired to accept) only components rated for 220V. Due to this, your option would be to upgrade your generator to 220/240V service. The link below will provide you with Environment One’s generator requirements: eone.com/images/downloads/distributor_connection/field-service/SB21_Generators.pdf Please don’t hesitate to reach back out if you have additional questions. Best regards!

Going back a few years, it was like $750 to rebuild but it didn't last at all. JUNK!

Hi @nbtstl68 - thanks for contacting us. Correct, the DH071 has a maximum tank capacity of 70 gallons. During a power outage, if you don't have a generator to pump down the station, we recommend limiting water usage to prevent wastewater from backing up into your home or overflowing into the yard. We will follow up with additional detail via email. Also visit eone.com/sewers -> Knowledge Center -> Frequently Asked Questions for more info.

Hi Larry - please email me at eone@eone.com so I can send you the service manual.

The switches are correct. You can't go by the color of the button in the middle of the switch. Some times they are red, pink , gray. You had me wondering so I just checked those switches and they are correct. I reused the purple wire. The 1300 now comes with the purple wire. Thanks for the comments.

Hello, You will have to contact Fairfield Glade. I believe they take care of installation.

so they now come with red and PURPLE wire in 1300 part kit?

@david stewart thanks for agreeing to appear in our video! :)

@@EONESewerSystems my pleasure a tee shirt would be awesome also I good conversation piece for me to promote!! Just saying lol

@@davidstewart3144 I agree! Email me at eone@eone.com with your size and address

Hi Howard, We're creating a series where the steps covered in individual videos. If you're looking for something specific not yet covered, please refer to "Installing a 2000 Series Grinder Pump station" or let me know what questions I can answer. You can email me at eone@eone.com.

Hi Barbara, Can you send a photo to eone@eone.com for me? Also, do you know what size tank or model station you have? Odors could develop depending on your water usage -- if you aren't using a lot of water, the pump isn't turning on frequently, therefore the water in the tank sits and can develop odors. You could fill up and empty the bath tub to get fresh water through the tank. Also, if the tank was oversized and the pump isn't turning on as frequently as we like it to, the water can get stagnant and odor can develop.

EONE Sewer Systems I sent 3 pictures to the email you provided. Thank you for all your help.

Hi @@barbarawall6349 - I'm sorry I didn't get back to you last week. I sent you an email this morning (Monday).

Pressure rated piping must be used (min 150-160psi). SDR11 HDPE and SDR21 PVC are the most common. SCH40 is used on occasion, though it MUST be pressure rated. PVC drain pipe CAN NOT be used.

Hi Barbara, The grinder pump station should not emit any odors. The pump turns on/off several times daily (depending on your water usage), so the contents are always "fresh." Wastewater that sits for a long period develops odors. If you were leaving your house for a few days/weeks, E/One recommends running clean water (fill & empty the bathtub) through the system to flush out wastewater. Please email me at eone@eone.com if I can answer any more questions. - thanks, Sharon

Thank you

Well, it does leak odors. It will over flow on the ground as well. When it fails. The double pole beaker strips, no alarm. Out of 24 houses on my road. 24 have failed in 9 yrs. Some are on their third pump. No place to get replacement. No temporary till repair. Not easy to repair, and not easy to find someone to repair. A disaster waiting to happen.

Hello - Please contact us at eone@eone.com with more information. The average mean time between service calls for an E/One pump is 8-10 years. Most problems can be attributed to improper installation or system abuse. Have you spoken with your local distributor to assess these problems?

@@EONESewerSystems Yes. I spoke to several people about e-Ones. They all agree that they will NEVER last as long as good pump. I've put sewer pumps years ago, Liberty, Zoeller, just to name a few, and they are still working fine. And a lot of them are over 30 years old. 8-10 years is not a long time for an expensive piece of equipment. Especially when it started going bad after two years.

@@akrocuba Did you speak to E/One or an E/One distributor? If you're having problems with the pump after 2 years, there is likely an underlying issue.

@@EONESewerSystems Nope. No underlying issue. We just replaced about 5 years ago. I've heard nothing good about these things and I am completely pissed off. Companies that are certified that I spoke told me the same thing. I'm replacing it with a standard grinder pump. Companies really should take more pride in their products. But, I guess it's all about just selling the product to municipalities and getting the big sale and then leaving them stuck with the problems.

@@akrocuba E/One does take pride in its products & we have many satisfied customers. I asked that you email me more info so I could help and/or get you in touch with someone to better diagnose your situation. E/One pumps have an average mean time between service calls for 8-10 years. If a repair is needed before that time, we need to investigate. Additionally, E/One pumps are designed to be repaired & not simply replaced -- multiple complete replacements indicates a bigger issue. I'm sorry you're unhappy with your E/One experience, but we can't help without more information.

Hi Shon, As we note at the beginning of the video, all installation steps should be performed in accordance with local codes. Different municipalities may have different/additional requirements for grinder pump installations.
