I am only aware of one type water powered pump. It is a sump pump but you would need a macerating (grinding) pump for solids. This type also uses 2 gallons of water to pump one gallon. You may want to check out the Sani-flo website since they make macerating toilets with pumps. Not cheap, but may be your answer.
pump sewage uphill?
hi,
i am building a new cabin in the mountains and have a existing septic tank that is aprx. 200' from the new cabin and the new cabin is aprx. 10' below the grade of the existing septic tank... i am looking for the simplest... maintenance free way of connecting the new toilete to the existing septic tank... i am off grid and use solar and have a back up generator... but was wondering if there might be a system the uses water to pump it uphill to the tank instead of a electric pump? my water is via a spring with my holding tank aprx. 150' above the cabins... so i have around 80psi of water pressure... can anyone help me with some ideas?
thanks in advance,
josh

maybe i should ask... what are my options? so far what i have seen are variations of a holding tank then a sump pump that sends the waste up hill... "Quik Jon"or with or without a grinder or a grinding macerator with a sump pump (ie: used in boats etc) what manufacturers are best.. the most reliable... does the system smell? how noisy is it? how long does the pump run? etc... etc...
thanks...
