Automatic Submersible Cast Iron ProVore® Grinder Pump (115V) •2-Inch Discharge designed for residential sewage applications
Epoxy Powder Coated Cast Iron Construction •Designed to provide years of reliable performance
Q: Hi Jim, how long can the 2" discharge line be? in other words how far can the pump be located from the drain that will drain by gravity, pitch. I am planning to install Liberty Pumps PRG101A - 1 HP ProVore® Residential Grinder Pump (2") w/ Piggyback Tether Float about 60 feet away from the house where eventually I plan to connect discharge pipe. the difference in elevation is about 4 feet but its about 60 feet away. is this pump going to work, or any other pump?? is there a min or max the discharge line should be before connecting to main house drain?? TIA Jim!!!
by Zygmunt from California on April 17, 2014
A: Thank you for your interest in Sump Pumps Direct. The Liberty model PRG101A will handle a total head lift of 50 feet with a 2" discharge line, so it would easily handle your application. Based on your description, most sewage pumps will handle a 5-10 foot head lift and a 25-60 foot horizontal run. If that horizontal run has an upward slope, you would need to figure in additional head lift or friction loss. Typically, sump and sewage pumps are designed to require a minimum 5 foot head lift directly off the pump and the total head will be noted within the pump specs. Horizontal runs can be a little more tricky since runs of over 75 -100 feet will create more friction loss (material makes a difference too, i.e. PVC, steel, copper, etc.) in addition to your discharge configuration and the number of 45 and 90 degree angles and unions that are used. In more complex configurations or extreme long runs, you would need to check a FRICTION LOSS CHART to verify what size discharge pipe you may need to increase to or see where you may need to increase the size of your pump. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: What Is the volt of Model PRG101A by Jack P from Indiana on May 08, 2013
A: The voltage on the Liberty model PRG101A is 120 volts. The Liberty model PRG102A is the same pump rated at 230 volts. by Jim, Product Expert

So Far So Good
Right from the start the way it was packed in comparison to the previous pump that was broken when received, it spoke of quality. It definitely appears to be durable but time will tell. It is by far the best grinder pump I have used. Like most of us of course I wished it was less expensive, but you get what you pay for and it is quality!
Pros:High Quality, Quiet, I'd Buy It Again, Exceeded Expectations

No Trash Will Survive
I watched the video of it eating a leather glove and said wow then it ate a pair of blue jeans and I said oh man I got to get one of these. It's brand new and I changed the float switch to a solid state LevelGuard electronic option that I had put together with its own relay as this pump uses more power, I had to protect the switch from the 12amps that the motor draws on start up. No turdaler will survive against this monster. My basement is set up to have a living area for my Mom and Dad and every thing from the sink to the toilet run thru this pump to go up to the field. SO far so good I don't expect any issues for a long long time .

So Far...it's Great!!!!
We were using a grinder pump that you would buy at your local home improvement store and were unclogging it several times a month! Not fun work!!! I did some research and decided to replace the current pump with a Liberty. What a great choice!

"It was fast and easy. Great pricing. I could have bought the pump from a local warehouse and spent several hundred more!"
Wow! Finely I have a sewage pump that won't plug up. I just went through 3 in the last two weeks. The tenants were using those thick butt wipes. The Zoeller could not pass them. The Liberty chews it into little pieces before it hit the impellers. Have a rope or a friend to help you put it in though.
Pros:Durable, Exceeded Expectations, Fast, High Quality
Cons:Heavy, Expensive, I Would Rather See One Cord For Power And Switch

Dan,
The reason for the 2 cord (piggyback) design if for easy service. Typically the pumps last much longer than the switch. So this allows you to replace the switch without replacing the entire pump.
This pump is a workhorse that will grind just about anything that gets flushed or put down the drain... check out the video here and more on YouTube!
Liberty has designed this pump for a niche market, catering to homeowners and light commercial/ business use.
Most other GOOD grinder pumps are bigger and cost a lot more, but are for commercial/ industrial use.
Excellent job by Liberty's R&D on designing this pump, keeping the price competitive for a homeowner, but not sacrificing quality of the pump.
The ProVore is an excellent choice for 30" ejector pits in basement bathrooms and will easily grind sanitary wipes and feminine products that get flushed.

"I've been using Sump Pumps Direct for my home and business needs for over 2 years.
You will not find a better website/ company for your needs on the internet.
Customer service, shipping, product description/ specs, are all highly covered by Sump Pumps Direct!"
My wife and I built a full size bathroom in our basement in March 2013 and we have gone through 2 different pumps in less than 6 months, those pumps were very loud and they kept burning out. Well I can truly say that this pump is worth every penny, it does exactly as the advertisement says and the selling point for me is how quiet it is that my wife wanted to send it back because she thought that it didn't work because its so quite. I recommend this pump over all others.
Pros:High Quality, Durable, Quiet, I'd Buy It Again
Cons:Heavy

Awesome Pump
I read a lot of reviews and talked with several plumbers prior to making this purchase from sump pumps direct. Liberty makes one of the best quality and quietest grinder pumps I have ever heard. We had our plumber install this pump for an existing roughed in sewage sump for a bathroom we added tour basement while renovating.
Sump pumps direct offered almost next day delivery upon ordering for no charge, and boy when I lifted this beast out of the box you can tell its built to last! Must weigh 50-75 lbs all cast iron. We are in the process of putting the finish items in the new bath but, I have tested with water and washing out a lot of spackle and paint brushed in our slop sink and this baby grinds it up quietly and lifts it right away.
Very good quality for the money as most grinder / maceration pumps I researched for residential applications were well above $1,000. Highly recommend and you will be amazed at the quiet operation!

"Awesome customer service upon ordering and very very prompt shipping! No complaints at all. The demonstration videos and reviews on the website were extremely helpful."
If you have a basement that requires a sump pump save yourself the hassle and just bite the bullet and buy this one! I went through 3 pumps in 2 months that ended up costing more than this pump. Now it's working great!
Pros:Quiet, High Quality, I'd Buy It Again

Working Great!
I placed this in a basement floor pit that services two bathrooms/showers, laundry, and a busy kitchen - pushing grey/black water 300 horizontal feet and 20 vertical feet to reach the county sewer on my country property. It is both quiet, and working very well. If it lasts 10 years like the 1hp non-grinder it replaced, I'll be very pleased. One thing that helped immensely was looking up a PVC Friction Loss chart, something I was referred to by the helpful staff at Sump Pumps Direct.

Second Pump Purchase
It wasn't until we shopped online that we found that we needed a larger pump than we had. We got the larger pump and everything is working well.
