If you are considering adding a new shower room to your house or apartment, a grey water pump could be the ideal solution to ensure optimal wastewater removal. Let’s explore what a grey water pump is, how it works, and how to choose the right model for your needs.
 
What is a grey water pump?
 
A grey water pump is designed to assist in the removal of wastewater from a shower room or kitchen when it cannot drain naturally due to a height difference with the sewer system or the main drainage network. This equipment is particularly useful in shower rooms or kitchens located in basements or below the drainage network. It is typically installed on the floor, behind a partition, or within a cabinet.
 
How does a grey water pump work?
 
The operation of a grey water pump is relatively simple but essential for managing wastewater. When a sufficient amount of water is collected in the pump's tank, a float automatically activates the pumping mechanism. The device then draws in and propels the loaded water toward the drainage network.
 
Pumps can be equipped with different types of motors depending on the capacity and power needed to lift water to a sufficient height.
 
How to choose a grey water lifting pump?
 
Choosing the right grey water pump for your shower room or kitchen depends on several factors. Here are the main criteria to consider when selecting from all available products:
 
- The type of water to be removed: If you only plan to evacuate water from the shower or sink, a pump for grey water will suffice.
 
- The number of fixtures to connect: Different models of grey water pumps offer varying numbers of inlets. It’s important to carefully consider the equipment you want to install in your water room to choose the right product.
 
- The height and length of lift: It’s important to know the height to which the water will need to be propelled to reach the main drainage network, depending on the location of your room. This is called the lift height, a crucial piece of information when selecting your pump. Similarly, you need to consider the distance the wastewater must travel to reach the main drainage of your home.
 
- The pump's flow rate: Depending on the volume of wastewater your shower room or kitchen will generate daily, you will need to choose a pump with sufficient power to effectively handle this flow. A flow rate that is too low could lead to delays in drainage and potentially hygiene issues.
 
We recommend consulting a plumber for your project, as they can help you choose the right product based on their experience, manage the delivery and connection of your device for a safe and durable installation.
 
In summary, a well-chosen grey water pump ensures the proper functioning of your shower room or kitchen, whether for draining wastewater from the shower, sink, or basin. Don’t hesitate to compare models based on their performance and consider the installation and maintenance needed to optimize the durability of your setup in your space.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A shower pump is useful when the shower tray or basin is below the available drain level, too far from the drain, or located where gravity drainage cannot be achieved.

  • Depending on the product, it can be positioned beside or below a shower tray, inside bathroom furniture, or in another accessible location. The pump must remain serviceable and should not be placed where it can be flooded.

  • The permitted temperature varies by model. Some units accept normal shower wastewater, while others tolerate higher temperatures for limited periods. Check the maximum temperature and duration in the technical specification.

  • Some models have two inlets and are designed for both fixtures. Confirm the model's approved applications and the required inlet arrangement before connecting the basin.

  • Assess the highest discharge point, horizontal distance, expected wastewater flow, number of connected fixtures, and incoming water temperature. These values determine whether a compact shower model or a higher-capacity grey water pump is appropriate.

  • Leave enough room to inspect the tank, clean the inlet area, check the discharge connection, and remove the pump or cover if the manual requires it. Easy access helps prevent minor issues becoming drainage failures.
