Common Questions
Q: What makes a grinder pump different?
A: Grinder pumps macerate solids into fine slurry, allowing reliable pumping through smaller pipes and long distances.
Q: Is this model automatic?
A: No. The WDH820 is a hardwired model intended for control panels or external float systems.
Q: Is this suitable for basement bathrooms?
A: Yes. The WDH820 is commonly installed in residential below-grade sewage systems.
