What Is a Grey Water Pump?

A grey water pump is essentially a fitting within a gray water recycling system that pumps wastewater from different sources, such as your bath, laundry sink, washing machine, dishwasher, and more.

Grey water pumps are a critical piece of your property’s plumbing system. Vastly different from a sump pump, which is designed to pump accumulated groundwater runoff from your basement before it floods your underground space,  a gray water pump is designed to eliminate gray water safely and effectively. A gray water pump should never be used as a sump pump; it’s exclusively used to pump gray water away from your home whereas a sump pump is only designed to remove excess groundwater. It can be used, however, both in residential and commercial buildings. This equipment is perfect to use in your basements, cellars, or wherever extra fixtures may be utilized in your property.

The Saniflo Saniswift is a gray water pump that is compact and has a streamlined design making it ideal for small spaces. This Saniflo Saniswift gray water pump can also be used in closets, basement apartments, or any other additional spaces. The Saniflo Saniswift pump can be used to pump waste water from dishwashers, sinks, or urinals. The Saniflo Saniswift gray water pump unit pumps affluent up to 14 feet upwards and 140 feet horizontally. 

How Does a Grey Water Pump Work?

Unlike a sump pump, which merely removes excess groundwater from a small purpose-built pit set in the lowest part of your home, a grey water pump removes wastewater. However, like a sump pump, this piece of equipment also pumps the water out into your property’s sewage line or cesspool.

The Benefit of an SFA Grey Water Unit

A traditional pump relies on gravitational drainage, which limits the places you can put it. With an SFA pump, conventional gravitational drainage is not a requirement, which means you can add a new kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room virtually anywhere.

Some pumps, such as the SaniCOM 1, can push nearly boiling water (up to 194 degrees) up to 25 ft vertically and 250 ft horizontally. What’s more, these pumps are easy to install and remove waste from a bathroom, kitchen, or laundry room. Installing these pumps doesn’t require significant construction and can be a DIY project you can complete in a week or less.
