I don't know the answer to your question, but could you rotate the pump clockwise, unscrewing it slightly from the pipe, to give you some room to let out some cable? Ron

Thanks all. I sent a message to Delta and they are sending me the replacement parts, apparently free of charge. Now my mother says another sink is dripping.

Hello, This bathroom sink faucet is dripping. I see no name on it or on the hoses below. What should I do? I replaced cartridges like this before on Delta faucets that I could identify. There is a "CLEAN OUT" plate in the tub that says WATCO but I don't suppose that is necessarily related...

Hello, I have a problem with my conventional (non-aerobic) septic system on my 3-bedroom house. Someone installed an effluent pump and tank maybe 12 years ago, between the septic tank and the field, I suppose because the leach field was failing. It has generally been working, with an...

Yes I used a blue PVC primer and glue on the joints. I tend to be a perfectionist so didn't make much of a mess...I wouldn't say it's an elevated drainfield. It was just a normal septic system, but it was not working well at all when the yard was wet, especially in the winter when there is not...

Over the past several weeks, I have replaced the pipe, including a clean-out, added a baffle at the inlet, and replaced the effluent pump with a heftier one and different float configuration. One of the tougher decisions was how to seal the pipe to the concrete septic tank. I ended up using...

What would be the proper cement to connect the PVC to the septic tank? I mean exactly what is it called? For a cleanout can I use just a standard 4" tee, like I have seen at Lowe's, or should I get one of those with more gentle curves? What would be the ideal distance for a cleanout tee...

Thanks John. What concerns me is that the pipe coming out of the slab is 4 1/2" diameter. The standard 4" PVC would be about 4", right? What type of cement should I use to seal to the septic tank? There is a cover in the tank near the inlet and I plan to install a PVC baffle. I believe the...

I need to replace the pipe from my house to my septic tank, because it is partially collapsed (on the lower portion, which is thinner pipe), and install a cleanout. The house was built in 1977. The pipe coming out of the slab is fairly thick and is stamped PLASTIC in black. Diameter is 4 1/2...

Thank you drainbrain. I ended up buying a Liberty pump but haven't received it yet.

Hello, new member here. I have an effluent pump in a pit on the outlet of my septic tank. I am replacing a Zoeller Model 53 pump that has been in service about 7 years, which I have had several problems with. This is the type that comes with a float attached to the outside. QUESTION: Can...
