In order to provide you with suitable wastewater disposal, your home is served by a low pressure sewer system. The Gatorgrinder is the key element in this system. The tank collects all solid materials and effluent from the house. The solid materials are then ground to a small size suitable for pumping as a slurry with the effluent water.
