is there a sealed storage tank, level switch and pump to get grey water uphill to septic tank?

Question

grey water from new dish washer and sink - outlet to septic is above the drain level so we need to collect the grey water in a sealed tank with automatic level switch to pump it up about 7ft to the septic pipe or any other bright ideas please?

Answer 1

I used a old freezer and a sump pump. It was a sealed system but soon developed mold. Once that was discovered I cleaned it up and left the top open. It's still working and been 3 years. Cost was around $200

Answer 2

You can't run water into a sealed tank, the tank must be vented to allow air in the tank to escape when water drains in and to allow air back into the tank when you pump it out. They make systems as you describe, with varying size tanks and pumps.

Answer 3

Yes go to you plumbing supply place they should be able to fix you up. There is a tank available designed for just that purpose. The last one I bought cost several hundred dollars. You probably won't find this pump in a home center, at least I could not find one there.

Answer 4

Sounds like you need a lift station and force main installed.



There are some that are pre built with wiring and all ready to drop in others have to be put together yourself.
