Submersible sewage pump performance?

[Steevo]

Could you not have made a "filter" for the chopper pump you had?

I understand the theory of only pumping the liquid, but in my case, I am wanting to pump both together. if at all possible.

Not after it had siezed and killed the motor.

Won’t a lot of the solids settle?

I am thinking that I would pump out and straight back in, but..... will it work??

I meant settle in the first tank with the pump in. Solids usually sink to the bottom or float on the top in my experience.

Big old tank that... Are you pumping to a main, or a septic tank away from the site?

I would worry if said pump was being fed by Tenants though.....
