There is a difference between effluent pumps and sewage pumps. Effluent pumps are used to pump out grey water with minimal solids of less than ½” diameter. The sewage pumps are designed to handle sewage waste material and human-solids that are 2” in diameter or less. Effluent pumps should be used in greywater applications where there is no to minimal gravity inhibiting water to the home drainage.
These pumps find their ideal application when you have a basement laundry room, sink, or a wet bar that is below the home drainage line. These pumps are useful when you have no risk of having larger solids.
There are some well-known effluent pumps recognized for their quality and efficiency. These are Myers Effluent Pump and Goulds Effluent Pump.
Features and Benefits of Myers P Series Pumps
The Myers P series pumps are effluent pumps with design features to meet the specific requirements. You may use them for diverse applications, including high head drainage, S.T.E.P or septic tank effluent pumping, and multi-pump pressure collection. These pumps provide great performance curves with fully enclosed impellers for non-overloading and steep performance. The impellers with a single vane are the high-efficiency impellers. In comparison to the other pumps in its class, these pumps provide higher head capacity. The performance of these pumps is free of trouble for years using a combination of tough material.
Myers P51S Effluent Pump
Myers P51S series pumps are ideal for several settings such as flood control, water transfer, pressure systems applicable in trench and mount, and in effluent removal. The single vane impeller is enclosed in these pumps that outperform others in its class. They provide a great performance curve with their capability to pass spherical solids of up to ¾ inch. The durability of the motor made from the rugged material will provide a reliable service of many years. The bearings are continuously lubricated with oil-filled in the motor. It also supports maximum and rapid dissipation of heat. There are no relays or starting switches. Its PSC or permanent split capacitor has high torque.

The extra protection of the motor is ensured with its double tandem configuration of the seal. There are seal leak probes to warn. The damage to the expensive motor is thus prevented. The burnout is also prevented with overload protection. The pump can be restored to the original performance as the volute ring of the seal can be replaced. There are 4 screws to hold the motor in place that can be easily removed if service is required.
Myers P52 Effluent Pump
The Myers P52 series effluent pumps are best at removing effluent and several other applications as described above. The best thing about these pumps is the durability of the motor designed for years of service without a breakdown.

The impellers are enclosed to prevent jamming and corrosion. It is capable of passing solids of ¾ inch dimension. The seal leakage is instantly detected with optional leak probes. These pumps are protected and prevented from burnouts and wear.
Features and Benefits of Goulds 2ED Series Effluent Pumps
Goulds 2ED52B0EA Submersible Effluent
This Goulds 2ED52B0EA submersible effluent pump finds applications in multiple settings such as industry, hospitals, schools, motels, effluent systems, trailer courts, and farms. It is designed to serve nearly all effluent systems. The solid handling capacity of this pimp is a maximum of ¾ inch. It can be used in continuous operations.

The pump is protected with dual mechanical seals. The materials used in the lower and upper faces/parts include silicon carbide, carbon and ceramic, BUNA-N, and stainless steel. If the pump begins to leak, it is immediately brought to notice with its seal sensor probe. The stainless steel material of the shaft with a threaded design makes it resistant to corrosion. All models are guarded against accidental reverse rotation and component damage with a locknut.
Goulds 2ED51C0DA Submersible Effluent Pump
The Goulds 2ED51C0DA Submersible Effluent Pump finds multiple applications in industry, hospitals, schools, and motels. They are also used in several other settings including effluent systems, trailer courts, and farms. It can handle spherical solids with a maximum of ¾ inch diameter. The pump is tough and rugged enough to be in continuous operation. It shares nearly all the qualities of Goulds submersible effluent pumps, including sensor probe and dual seal. The senor probe located in the oil-filled chamber immediately indicates when the pump begins to leak past the lower seal. The fasteners in it are made of stainless steel material of 300 series and the insulation motor is F-class. The pump remains constantly lubricated and its efficient heat transfer mechanism protects it from overheating.
