Wise to use this pump for moving water from a 5' buried dairy tank as a grey water system? Water comes off laundry, kitchen sink, dish washer.

I would not. I would use a "trash pump" that can handle some solids. Zoeller makes them and that is what I would suggest you get. A sump pump is for water only And likely to get clogged used for sink and laundry waste.

Hello- this pump should work fine as long as your pipe runs and elevation changes are minimal , please be sure it is completely submerged.

If you have a water line which is the "waste water" you can use this pump. I like it because it's not an electrical pump.Make sure you get the right model to fit your GPD rating on your water filter.

The answer is complex. It depends on how far away your basement set up would be. I do not believe the water lines they supply are long enough for a long run. Also you may need to consider the pressurized holding tank may not push the water a great distance so you may have slow water coming out at the sink too. I am NOT a plumber but I believe that these factors would come into play. Hope that helps.

It would probably get clogged and take forever to drain. I would use a $35 1/2 HP electrical pump if you can.

It will move the water, but the rate will probably drop off about 75-80% at the end of the 600' run. The problem is the diameter of the pipe rather than the power of the pump. You would get much better performance if you could run 1.5" PVC pipe for most of the distance.

Considering you have a 40gal tank, i wouldnt recommend this for you. Also, why drain it continuously? This pump is for a 70gal tank.

This is a good pump, although not designed for that purpose, I do believe it would pump that distance. If you are pumping through hose the auto shut off feature may not work well. I would use pvc.

This pump is not enough for return off 100g tank, I use for 46G tank and it is noisy and flow not constant to keep water level I prefer to use mag 7 for 100 gal tank.

Just open your valve and let it drain through the Sewer Solution hose. For the grey tank, there's no reason to use the water jet pump. You need that to break down solids when draining the black tank, which the water jet does perfectly, but you can just let the grey water gravity drain. If you wanted to rinse out your hose afterward, you could turn on the water for that. I LOVE my Sewer Solution. SO much easier to deal with than the big hose. I'll never go back to the conventional hose.

It's a good pump, moves a lot of water so if that's what you want to do it will work great for you. I installed it as a sump pump in a basement that gets flooded. It works fast.

I've got this pump sitting at the bottom of my rain-barrel pushing water through a "DIG" micro-irrigation kit that is watering over 20 plants/bushes spread out amongst 100' of tubing, and its got plenty of umph, so I can't imagine you'd have any problems moving water 4.5ft.

Little Giant 554421 VCMA-20 is design to lift water up to 15'. If you lift water to 1' up only, water flow can be as big as 80GPH. For 9' lift up your flow will be 55GPH.I do not understand "55' down". If you want to move water from 55' BELOW pump, it will not work. If you need to move water to the distance of 55' long, you need to try bigger ID hose if you meet some limitation.

Hey,i think it would work great for that purpose i would try though to make sure the pump is below or lower then the tank,good luck Pat

Just drain it through this device. No problems. You can leave your grey water tank valve open during the whole time you are using your RV and it will drain with out needing to do anything. However, if you are needing to pump uphill above the level of your tank, you will have to use the pump part of the device.

I suppose you might be able to use it to create sink if you have a bucket or tank to pump from within a couple feet of where your sink is located. Keep in mind the pump has to be submerged in the water supply and has no on/off switch on the cord (you'd have to put one where it plugs into the power outlet (would be a shock hazard if turning it off with wet hands). If you're only pumping the water through 2-3 feet of hose, the water reaches the end of the hose quickly. With some ingenuity you might be able to make the pump work for your purpose, but I think a cheap transfer pump might be a better choice. Hope this helps.

Probably. It's pretty tough. I have a different sump pump for my washing machine, and, to be safe, I run the grey water through a screen-window type of netting to catch lint. I made a frame for the screen out of eight approx. 1-foot segments of ½" PVC pipe, one central "X" connector, four 90 deg. angles, and four end caps. Basically an "X" with 4 legs, pointing up; screen sits on top of (capped) legs, stapling screen to itself, around/over legs, so it doesn't come loose. Whole thing sits in a utility sink that drains into the sump pump. Has worked like a charm for 7 years. Just make sure the washing machine outlet pipe is secure, so it dumps into the ~center of the screen. Probably. It's pretty tough.
