Answered by Jim, the Sump Pump Expert
Question

Will this pump work as a sewer ejection pump for a basement bathroom or do I need a 'grinder' pump?
Bryan W.
from Michigan
May 02, 2017
Answer
Hello Bryan. In most cases, a standard SEWAGE PUMP will do the job for you. If however, you expect problems from people flushing something other than normal sewage, like baby wipes, towels, feminine products, etc., a GRINDER PUMP would be more effective.

Answer
Most any sump or sewage pump can be installed outdoors, however all electrical connections must be done indoors or they need to be very well protected from the elements.

Is this pump use 110v or 230v?
Anthony T

Answer
The Wayne model RPP50 is rated at 110 volts. Actually, most of our sewage pumps are rated for 110 volts. The few that are not, will be noted under the features on the pump product page if they are 240 volt rated.

how big of a pump do I need for a bath room in the basement.
Art Miranda
from Indiana
June 12, 2012
Answer
The Wayne model RPP50 would be more than sufficient or you might look at the Superior 1/2 HP Cast Iron Sewage Pump System model 93015 or the Bur-Cam 4/10 HP Heavy Duty Cast Iron Sewage Pump System model 400419T. These systems would provide everything you need with the exception of the PVC for your discharge and vent.

Is it ok if this pump gets submerged in 4 feet of water
Tom Bice (Thomas C. Bice)
from Wisconsin

Answer
No problem, however please keep in mind the the float would activate and drain most of your basin and would continue to operate in that fashion as long as the basin is filling with water.

Wayne RPP50 - 1/2 HP Cast Iron Tether Float Switch Sewage Pump.
The spec sheet states it runs at 6.3 amps but I have seen other ads elsewhere that show the same Wayne pump RPP50-1/2hp at 15 hp. Which is the accurate amps/ ^.3 or 15 amps?
Gary
from Louisiana
May 17, 2011
Answer
The 6.3 amp rating is the motor full load amps and the 15 amp rating is the minimum circuit amperage required for the pump.

Answer
For sewage pumps, it is recommended that you keep the same discharge size since the pump is capable of handling 2" solids.

I 'm finishing my basement and I need a ejector pump since my main sewer pump is three feet above the basement floor. I'm putting in a sink, toilet, sink and a wet bar. What type of ejector pump would be best in my situation.
Tim
from New Jersey
January 30, 2011
Answer
What you just described is a standard sewage/ejector pump application.
A 4/10 or 1/2 HP sewage pump would meet your needs.
