7. Backfill Requirements
Proper backfill is essential to
the long-term reliability of any
underground structure. Several
methods of backfill are avail-
able and each yields favorable
results when done properly.
Clean, compact, native soil
that is free from rocks, roots or
organic material may be used if
compacted in lifts not to exceed
one foot. It must be compact-

are not acceptable backfill for
this or any underground struc-
ture such as inlet or discharge
lines.
Class 1 or Class 2 backfill
material as defined by ASTM
2321 may also be used.
Crushed stone and gravel
backfill materials offer an
advantage since they typically
reach a compaction level of 90
to 95 percent standard density
with minimal compaction.
Another option is flowable fill
(i.e., low slump concrete). This
is particularly attractive when
installing grinder pump stations
in augered holes where tight
clearances make it difficult to
assure proper backfilling and
compaction with dry materials.
Flowable fills should not be
dropped more than four feet
from the discharge nozzle to
the bottom of the hole since
this can cause separation of
the constituent materials.

of wood or similar object, prop
up the lower pump end to allow
installation of the pump stand.
Align the two legs of each
pump stand half with two of the
holes in the pump lower end.
Push the stand legs into the

let, ensure that the stand legs

Repeat for the other stand half.

if a threaded connection is
necessary. Glue nipple to slide

 Grinder Pump Station Ballast Calculations
Any buried vessel that is submerged, or partially submerged, in water will be acted on by an upward
buoyant force that attempts to return the vessel to a non-submerged state. The magnitude of this
buoyant force is equal to the volume of the vessel that is submerged multiplied by the density of
water. On most in-ground installations a ballast, or concrete anchor, of proper volume and weight is
required to resist the buoyant force.

The amount of ballast needed is equal to the weight it would take to counterbalance the buoyant
forces that are exerted on the station. The total ballast is a combination of the concrete poured to
create a ring around the bottom of the station and the soil above that ring which act as a weight.
The ballast force, the force holding the station down, must be greater than the buoyant force, the
force pushing the station up, in order to have an acceptable installation.

Calculate the Buoyant Force:

STATION VOLUME X THE WEIGHT OF WATER PER CUBIC FOOT (62.4 LBS/CU FT) =
BUOYANT FORCES

BUOYANT FORCES – STATION WEIGHT =

NET BUOYANT FORCE

Example: WH101-92,
28.53 cu ft X 62.4 lbs/cu ft = 1780.3 lbs
1780.3 lbs – 270 lbs = 1510.3 lbs

Calculate the Ballast Force:

VOLUME OF CONCRETE X WEIGHT OF CONCRETE WATER (87.6 LBS/CU FT) =

BALLAST FROM CONCRETE

VOLUME OF CONTRIBUTING SOIL X WEIGHT OF SATURATED SOIL (70 LBS/CU FT) =

BALLAST FROM SOIL

BALLAST FROM CONCRETE + BALLAST FROM SOIL = NET BALLAST FORCE

Example: WH101-92,
concrete: 2.7 cu ft X 87.6 lbs/cu ft = 236.5 lbs
soil: 20.4 cu ft X 70 lbs.cu ft = 1430.0 lbs
236.5 lbs + 1430.0 lbs = 1665.5 lbs

Net Ballast Force @ 1665.5 lbs > Net Buoyant Force @ 1510.3 lbs

Acceptable
Example, WH101-92:
Station Volume = 28.5 cu ft
Station Weight = 270 lbs
Contributing Soil Volume = 20.4 cu ft
Recommended Concrete Volume = 2.7 cu ft (O.D. = 36”)

 User Instructions for the Environment One Grinder Pump
General Information
Your home is served by a low pressure sewer system; the key element is an Environment One grinder pump.
The tank collects all solid materials and wastewater from the house. The solid materials are then ground to a
small size suitable for pumping as a slurry with the wastewater. The grinder pump generates sufficient pressure
to pump this slurry from your home to the wastewater treatment receiving line and/or disposal plant.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) this
device may not cause harmful interference; and 2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

Care and Use of your Grinder Pump

The Environment One grinder pump is capable of accepting and pumping a wide range of materials, and an
extensive grind test is required in order to obtain NSF approval. However, regulatory agencies advise that the
following items should not be introduced into any sewer, either directly or through a kitchen waste disposal unit:
Glass Seafood shells Diapers, socks, rags or cloth Syringes
Cotton swabs Personal/cleaning wipes & sponges Disposable toothbrushes Latex/vinyl items
Metal Plastic objects (toys, utensils, etc.) Kitty litter Dental floss
Aquarium gravel Sanitary napkins or tampons Cigarette butts

Caution: Kitchen garbage disposals do not keep grease/oil out of the plumbing system

In addition, you must never introduce into any sewer:

Explosives Strong chemicals Lubricating oil and/or grease
Flammable material Gasoline
Items introduced into the sewer system from your home can potentially impact the water environment. Proper
disposal of household wastes such as window cleaners, unused/expired pharmaceuticals, paint thinners, fats,
fruit labels, etc. is important. For more information, visit http://www.wef.org.

Periods of Disuse
If your home or building is left unoccupied for longer than a couple of weeks, perform the following procedure:
Purge the System. Run clean water into the unit until the pump activates. Immediately turn off the water and
allow the grinder pump to run until it shuts off automatically.
Duplex Units. Special attention must be taken to ensure that both pumps turn on when clean water is added to
the tank.
Caution: Do not disconnect power to the unit

Power Failure
Your grinder pump cannot dispose of wastewater without electrical power. If electrical power service is
interrupted, keep water usage to a minimum.

Pump Failure Alarm

Your Environment One grinder pump has been manufactured to produce an alarm signal (120 volt) in the
event of a high water level in the basin. The installer must see that the alarm signal provided is connected
to an audible and/or visual alarm in such a manner as to
provide adequate warning to the user that service is required.
During the interim prior to the arrival of an authorized service
technician, water usage must be limited to the reserve
capacity of the tank.
For service, please call your local distributor:
