Grinder Pumps
Grinder pumps for private homes, small developments, commercial premises and pressure systems requiring solids reduction before pumping through smaller-bore pipework.
Domestic & Commercial Grinder Pumps Supply & Support
Grinder pumps use a cutting mechanism to reduce solids before they enter the pump hydraulics, enabling controlled transfer through smaller-diameter rising mains.
Alton Pumps can help with pump selection, supply, installation, fault diagnosis, servicing and replacement for domestic, commercial and light-industrial pressure-sewer applications.
The complete duty is reviewed before equipment is selected, including flow, total head, liquid characteristics, operating pattern, controls, pipework and electrical supply.
