E/One Sewer Systems
The E/One Sewer system is a pressure sewer system that uses E/One grinder pumps. Grinder pumps are installed at each home, they collect the wastewater, and pump it to a larger sewer main or directly to a wastewater treatment plant.
These sewer systems are used in communities worldwide. They are an upgrade from existing pressure sewer systems, replacing septic tanks, or acting as an alternative to gravity sewer systems. E/One Sewer Systems offers a cost-effective alternative to gravity sewer systems because, unlike gravity systems, the low-pressure force mains follow the contour of the land.
E/One Sewer Systems from John Brooks Company are designed with high-quality grinder pumps that are reliable, efficient, and easy to maintain and come with a range of control and monitoring options to ensure proper operation. These systems are ideal for areas with rugged terrain or low population density and offer an economical and reliable alternative to conventional sewer systems. Due to their cost-effectiveness and easy installation, these sewer systems are an increasingly popular choice to improve wastewater to infrastructure within the municipal industry.
E/One Pressure Sewer Systems vs. Gravity Sewer Systems
Gravity sewer systems are the “original” central sewers, with origins in the Roman aqueducts. They must be accurately bedded along a continuous downward grade and often involve very deep trenches and large, costly lift stations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Who owns/maintains the grinder pump stations?
A: The grinder pump stations may be owned by the council/water authority (and the pressure pipe on private property) or by the homeowners individually. In the first instance, the municipality would maintain the sewage grinder pumps, and E/One’s local distributor would keep the municipality updated on training and product changes. If the homeowners own their grinder pump stations, they would be responsible for all installation and maintenance costs.
Q: What about backups? How can we be responsible for a homeowner who may continue to use water when a pump is down, creating a backup?
A: If the municipality owns the grinder pump stations, it is in the homeowner’s own best interest to alert the authority as soon as possible when the high-level alarm is audible. The education of the homeowner is critical. In an alarm condition, the homeowner should minimize water use within the home until repairs are completed.
Suppose the homeowners will be individually responsible for their grinder pump stations. In that case, it’s still a good idea to educate them about the grinder pump stations at the beginning of the project.
