In
non-gravity systems, effluent must be pumped to a desired
elevation. The pump is housed in a pump chamber either
as a separate unit or in the second (final) compartment of
a multi-compartment septic tank, as shown. Effluent from a
septic tank flows to the pump chamber, and when the effluent
reaches a certain level, the pump is activated, sending the
effluent toward additional treatment and/or final dispersal.
The pump chamber should have an above-ground port for easy
pump service and cleanout.
