About Product Overview

This Zoeller grinding pump tackles jobs where a standard sewage pump can't keep up - it macerates solids before pushing waste through a smaller discharge line, which makes it a solid choice for basement bathrooms, laundry rooms, or any fixture set below the main sewer line. The 1 HP motor and cast iron housing are built for the demands of grinding, not just moving liquid.

The tethered float switch handles on/off cycling automatically at set levels, so the pump activates and shuts down without you having to babysit it. With 40 feet of maximum head and a 1-1/2 inch discharge, it can push waste up and over to reach a sewer line that's not gravity-fed. CSA certified for safety, backed by a 1-year warranty, and rated to handle solids up to 1 inch in diameter before grinding.

  • 1 HP motor, cast iron housing
  • Tethered float switch, turns on at 19 in. / off at 10.5 in.
  • Maximum discharge flow: 2,535 GPH; max head: 40 ft.
  • 1-1/2 in. discharge pipe size; handles solids up to 1 in.
  • 115V, 12 amps; CSA certified

Go ahead. Check.

You're going to price-check us against Amazon, Home Depot, and Lowe's. Everybody does. Good — open all three tabs. We'll wait. Then look hard at what you're actually being handed over there.

On Amazon, start with these four questions before you click buy.

01

Who's actually selling it

The brand name is on the listing. A different company is in the seller field. Those aren't the same thing, and the second one is who you're buying from.

02

Whether the warranty survives

Most manufacturers only honor a warranty when the unit came through an authorized dealer. We're authorized for Zoeller. A third-party marketplace seller usually isn't.

03

Where the box came from

Gray-market stock, returns repackaged as new, and outright fakes move through marketplaces constantly. It all looks identical in the photo. It stops looking identical when it fails.

04

Who you call when it breaks

Ours is a phone number with a person behind it who has held this product. M–F, 6 AM – 5 PM Pacific. (866) 469-8556

The big boxes don't care if your hardware store survives.

Amazon, Home Depot, and Lowe's are built to pull every hardware dollar out of your town. When the local shop can't keep the lights on, the counter where somebody actually knew which part you needed goes with it. We're built the other way: real brands so you're never stuck on a marketplace, and a straight answer to buy it down the street when that's the better call. Support independent hardware — it doesn't restock itself.

Why we tell you to shop local

Shop Local · Support Independent

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.
