Installation of the Pump
Grinder pumps must be installed in a tank that is vented in accordance with local plumbing codes.
Installation should be at a sufficient depth to ensure that all plumbing is below the frost line. If this is not feasible,
remove the check valve and size the basin and/or adjust pump differential to accommodate the additional
backflow volume. Consult the factory for details on how this should be done.
