Thanks, That link didn't copy well... kinda looooooooong.
Here is a link to a diagram showing how they are installed to pump
sewage. They use a tapered sump tank, shaped like a 40 gallon garbage
can. I think the discharge pipe could have a ' T ' about 18" up and a
couple of ball valves so the discharge can be recirculated to create a
vortex to suck the paper down to the grinder.
