System Care

Sewer systems will handle all typical household waste.

However, DO NOT allow the following items to enter the toilets & drains, including but not limited to:

*Complimentary magnets with this list & grease containers available at our Summerdale office.

Additional recommendations for customers with grinder pumps:

The E/One grinder pumps BCSS installs at homes and businesses require very low preventative maintenance, and there are precautions listed below that can help uphold the pump.

BCSS recommends that customers open their grinder pump lid and hose the pump out every few years. It’s a quick and easy task that can be added to your Spring cleaning or landscaping to-do list.


• Pour ¼ cup Dawn down the drain once per month to break up any possible build up in the pump.
• Before you leave town for longer than 2 weeks, we suggest you fill up your bathtub and drain it to flush the pump. Follow the same procedure after using drain cleaners.
• Ants can ruin the electrical wires connected to the pump’s outside alarm box. If you have ant problems or predict issues at your home, place an ant killer trap in your alarm box.
• When a grinder pump’s lid is not high enough above ground, rainwater can collect on and around the lid, causing the pump to flood and run too frequently. Therefore, when building and landscaping around a grinder pump, ensure dirt and sod is not applied above the recommended level, marked on the pump.

*Please understand that BCSS cannot be held accountable for any damage to the system. We suggest you use your best judgment in maintaining your system.

About Environmental One (E/One) Grinder Pumps

With BCSS-E/One low pressure sewer technology, you can rest assured that you’ve got the safest, most reliable sewer system available today. Because the low pressure sewer system consists of a sealed piping network and can be installed in traditionally difficult terrain such as wet, hilly, rocky, or below-grade, they are the economically sensible, environmentally sensitive sewer solution.

The BCSS-E/One low pressure system not only offers greater safety to the surrounding environment, it also provides greater security for the individual homeowner. Carefully engineered to do one job perfectly, E/One grinder pumps set the standard for reliability in the industry. Built from heavy-duty components, these pumps us a minimum of moving parts and are designed in a modular fashion, so that repairs can be quickly and easily achieved –if necessary. With an outstanding record of reliability and the lowest downtime for repairs, you can take comfort in knowing you’ve chosen the best system.

And because of their unique, small-diameter piping, E/One sewer systems are much more benign to install than septic fields or gravity fed sewers. These pipes are installed in narrow trenches that follow the natural contours of the land, making for a minimally disruptive installation. The E/One grinder pump station is installed in-ground, nearly flush with the surface, making it work easily with new construction and existing structures alike.
