A grinder pump is a waste management device. Waste from water-using household appliances (toiletsbathtubswashing machines, etc.) flows through the home’s pipes into the grinder pump’s holding tank. Once the waste inside the tank reaches a certain level, the pump will turn on, grind the waste into a fine slurry, and pump it to the central sewer system.
