Effluent Pumps
Professional Effluent Pump Installation, Service & Repair
Effluent pumps play a vital role in many septic and wastewater systems by moving clarified liquid from a septic tank or treatment unit to a drain field, mound system, or other dispersal area. At WeCo Septic & Excavation, we install, maintain, and repair effluent pumps to ensure reliable wastewater flow and system performance.
What is an Effluent Pump?
Unlike sewage pumps that handle solids, effluent pumps move only the liquid portion—called effluent—after solids have settled in the septic tank. These pumps are often necessary when:
- The drain field is uphill from the septic tank
- The system design requires timed dosing for even distribution
- The property uses an advanced treatment unit or engineered system
