This 2-hour interactive online course provides a design procedure for low pressure sewer systems. These systems can be used in areas that are unsuitable for other types of sewer systems due to hilly terrain, flat slopes, high water tables and numerous other site constraints. A detailed design example is included. The text of the course is taken from the website of Environment One, the leading manufacturer of grinder pumps. The design process, however, is not limited to systems that use E/One pumps and can be readily applied to systems designed using pumps from other manufacturers. Some of the tables used in this course must be displayed using Microsoft Word. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end.
