OGVH Submersible Grinder Pump - Barnes

Barnes grinder pumps are designed to reduce sewage particles to a finely ground slurry. The Omni Grind™ Plus features patented two stage technology allowing the pump to run continuously at high or low heads.

A Grinder Pump works like a household garbage disposal, but on a larger scale. It grinds up wastewater produced in your home (i.e. toilet use, shower, washing machine, etc.) and pumps it into the public sewer system.

General Information

A Grinder Pump works like a household garbage disposal, but on a larger scale. It grinds up wastewater produced in your home (i.e. toilet use, shower, washing machine, etc.) and pumps it into the public sewer system.

The grinder pump is placed in a tank that is buried in a convenient outdoor location on a homeowner's property. The tank provides wastewater holding storage capacity. When water is used in the house, wastewater flows into the tank. When the wastewater in the tank reaches a pre-set level, the grinder pump automatically turns on, grinds the waste and pumps it out of the tank via the homeowner's building sewer line and into the Roamingwood sewer system. A grinder pump will normally run for one or two minutes and automatically turn off when the tank is emptied. The pump is powered by electricity and is connected to a control panel near your electric meter.

In most instances, wastewater flows by gravity from a home/business building sewer line to the public sewer main where it travels to the wastewater treatment facility. At the treatment facility, the wastewater is cleaned, disinfected and safely returned to the environment. However, because of elevation, groundwater conditions or significant rock formations, conventional gravity systems may not work.

 

EcoTRAN- Barnes
The EcoTRAN™ System preserves groundwater ecology by collecting and grinding sewage in an underground basin and transmitting the waste under pressure to RS&W's Wastewater Treatment Plant. The unit is easily installed and maintained as well as aesthetically pleasing. Crane Pumps & Systems also offers comprehensive piping analysis for your projects.

Crane Pumps & Systems offers comprehensive piping analysis for your projects. Contact sales for more information.

  • Aesthetically pleasing rock shaped covers
  • Basin Entry is never required as all maintenance requirements are top- side
  • Simple installation
  • UL and CSA Listed
  • Pump NSF Approved
  • No field adjustment is required because operating levels are factory preset.

What exactly is a Low-Pressure Sewer System? This sketch illustrates how such a system might look for homes with gravity and pumped sewer service laterals:

Home wastewater would be diverted to a new buried grinder pump station located on each lot. The grinder pump station would discharge to a new pressurized collection system. The grinder pump stations might be located anywhere along the general route of the home service lateral … near the street or near the homes themselves.

We strongly urge ALL our customers to create an account on the portal as soon as possible.  Even if you DO NOT pay electronically.  Our new Customer Portal is fully interactive and provides our customers with an in-depth look at their personal account information reducing the necessity to contact customer service for information.

ATTENTION: Only RS&W Staff is Permitted to Operate Water Curb Stop & Valves

ATTENTION:

Dear Customers,

It has come to our attention that several properties have been found to have hired private contractors to physically turn their water on/off at the curb stop. To avoid a fine, it is required that any Water ON or OFF must be scheduled through and performed by an RS&W technician. Please contact our office to make an appointment. The scheduled fee is only $20.00 for each service. Any customer or contractor found to be blatantly disregarding this policy, will be subject to fines and/or legal proceedings.

The following clause from our Rules & Regulations handbook is being provided to you so that you know the potential penalty to the homeowner and contractor:

CURB BOXES AND VALVES

C7. No unauthorized persons shall exercise any of Roamingwood’s water or sewer facilities, including curb stops, valves, vent pipes, etc., in any public or private line. It is the responsibility of the property owner to advise all contractors to contact Roamingwood to have valves opened or closed. Non-compliance will result in a fine assessed to the property owner of five hundred dollars ($500.00) per occurrence and could result in legal prosecution. The purpose of this prohibition and directive is to eliminate liability and avoid the
associated costs that Roamingwood incurs due to potential damage of our equipment and to avoid any health and safety issues that can occur from improper handling of the same.

Roamingwood Sewer and Water Association is requesting the assistance of Property Owners of the Hideout
Community in complying with our Rules and Regulations when contracting services.

Should tampering with the Water & Sewer Curb Boxes and Valves continue we will have no choice but to levy further fines on the homeowner as well as seek legal prosecution for illegal tampering of our facilities.

Sincerely,
RS&W

Testimonials

To whom it may concern:

Especially the woman who called me: I am a new resident of the hideout ! I closed on June 4 th 2021 At this time I would like to thank one of your workers and any one else involved who called me on or about 15 or 16 of June to let me know a worker noticed an unusual large am't of water being used contentiously !! I then noted to the person that I was not at the residence and out of state. I then asked her to shut the water off at the curb until I got back. When I got back I found out that the hot water tank broke. I replaced the tank and had to have remediation done and repair some damages ! The reason why I am telling you this if it were not for the person checking the meter and saw my problem. And notified me. To shut my water. It would have leaked for another day or two until I got back!! Then there would have been much more extensive damage.

Therefore I am extending my thanks and gratitude to the person or persons who noted the problem ! Be assured that I feel that the personal who works at RWSW are doing a good job. Please let everyone know.

Thanking you again for the concern you had shown in this Matter!
