What Should I Do If My Grinder Pump Fails?
1. STOP ALL WATER USE IN THE HOUSE!
WARNING: If you continue using the water, an overflow of wastewater into your home is very likely, typically at the sink or toilet that is at the lowest level in the home. You have approximately 6 gallons of capacity from the moment the alarm goes off until it starts to backup within your sewage pipes.
2. CALL THE TREATMENT PLANT OPERATOR OR A PLUMBER QUALIFIED TO FIX ENVIRONMENT ONE GRINDERS

Please work with Mahony to evaluate repair/loaner options or replacing the pump.
Homeowner is responsible for the cost of repairing the damaged unit removed from the home, along with the cost of installing the loaner grinder and/or replacing the grinder pump with a new pump.
NOTE: In some homes, the contractor that installed the grinder pump may have shortened the electrical supply cords from their original factory length, which is 10 feet. If this is the case with your unit, the spare unit CANNOT be used in your home, as the cord on your unit may be too short for use in other Acorn Park homes. In these circumstances, the failed unit in your home will need to be removed, repaired and reinstalled at your expense.
