Why it matters
The Waste-Mate M267 is a 1/2 HP sewage ejector that passes 2 in spherical solids through a non-clogging vortex impeller. Its switch case and pump housing are ASTM Class 25 cast iron.
An integral float with a 2-pole mechanical switch runs it automatically, and the whole unit is submersible, watertight and dust-tight. Zoeller lists it for sewage, effluent and dewatering, residential and commercial.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Basement bathrooms
- Replacing a failed ejector
- Owners who want a proven brand
Look elsewhere if
- Clean-water sump pits (a sump pump is cheaper)
- Septic tanks unless the maker allows it
- DIY installs where code requires a plumber
Pros and cons
Pros
- 2 in solids
- Cast iron
- Integral float
Cons
- Higher price
- Needs a sealed basin
- Professional install usually
Limitations to weigh
- Sewage pumps need a sealed, vented basin, usually 18 in or wider; size the basin to the pump's switch range.
- Sewage and grinder installations usually need a licensed plumber and a sealed, vented basin to meet code.
- Fit a check valve on the discharge so water in the pipe doesn't fall back into the pit after each cycle.
