Zoeller 802-0001 Automatic Grinder Pump 1/2 Hp 115V

Product Description

The ZOELLER 802-0001 is a 1/2 HP automatic grinder pump designed for residential sewage applications where solids reduction and dependable wastewater handling are required. Running on 115 volts, single phase, 60 Hz power, it draws 9.6 amps and features Tri-Slice cutter technology that grinds solids before pumping, reducing the risk of clogs and improving system reliability. The cast-iron motor housing provides durability in demanding wet-pit environments. A Zoeller LED Plug is included. This pump is engineered as an economical upgrade from traditional sewage ejector systems, offering improved performance without the complexity of a full ejector station rebuild.

The 802-0001 is suited for residential below-grade sewage lift stations where the pump must handle raw wastewater containing solids. Typical installations include basement bathrooms, laundry rooms, and other fixtures located below the main sewer line. The automatic operation means the pump activates and deactivates based on water level without manual intervention. The 2-inch discharge connection and 9-foot power cord suit standard residential wet-pit sump or sewage basin configurations.
