Sewage Systems for Basements

Q. "What is the QuickTree™ System?"
A. The QuickTree™ System includes a stainless steel float tree, pre-mounted pump float and an additional clamp for an alarm float. The tree hangs down from its holder underneath the basin cover, allowing easy access and removal of switches without disturbing the pump or other plumbing.

Q. "There are two systems listed for both Pro-Series that are 1 horsepower, 208-230V, etc.. What's the difference?"
A. As noted in the product description, the second system is for use in high-head applications, only (wherein the system must push the waste up further). The pump in the high-head version is more powerful; its motor offers four times the rotation as the other 1 horsepower system, and has a lift of nearly twenty more feet. Again, it should only be used in application where such extra lift is necessary.

Q. "Do I need to install a vent pipe to the tank?"
A. It really depends on how you plumb the piping to the tank and each situation is different. In many cases with any brand of sealed tank the simple answer is yes as you need air to displace the volume of discharge. An AAV may be used in many areas of the country but local codes always prevail and so best to check with your local code authorities before purchasing the enclosed tank system/s such as these shown on this page.
