My Mother in Law lives in a small house just downhill of our house and the septic system (75 feet). Plumbing waste drains into a Liberty 370 Pro and then is pumped slightly uphill to the septic field.
Today her toilet would not flush, and I eventually determined that the impeller on the pump of the 370 is likely jammed (macerater motor hums when pump is plugged in but will not grind).
Now I am faced with the nastiest of tasks. As I understand it, the whole top comes off, and I can retrieve the pump and inspect the impeller. Since the impeller is jammed, it means that the basin is pretty much full of the nastiest stuff. Any tips on how to get that pump out? Do I need to empty the basin? If so, any advice there?
I am very grateful now that I have always had a poor sense of smell…
Thanks,
David
