Cabin fever
New Member
Hi. I am new to the forum and am looking for some help on setting up a sewage ejector system. I have a cabin where the main drain is 80 feet from the septic tank. There is only a 5 inch drop between the two ends, thus I have to install the ejector system.
I am wondering where i should place the pump. Should I place it near the septic tank and have the drain pipe drain by gravity from the cabin to the pump? Or should the pump be placed near the cabin. My concern with placing it near the cabin is that the pump would have to push the sewage 80 feet to the septic tank. Also, when the pump is not running, will there be sewage remaining in the pipe? If so I'm afraid it will dry up and clog the pipe since the cabin is only used a few times out of the year.
Also, I am thinking about getting the liberty pro380 system. Does anyone have experience with this system? If you have another system that you think works better, please let me know.
Thank you in advance for your help.
