Barnes Replacement Core upgrade installed at Rehberg Ranch Home Community
Application Details:
In October 2008, shortly after moving into their new home in the Rehberg Ranch Home Community the residents realized that they could not drain the bathtub without setting off the high level alarm on the sewer system’s grinder pump. They also soon realized that they could not run the washing machine while running any other water in the house without setting off the high level alarm. In January, 2009 the pump had to be replaced because of failure. There were several more replacements, but the problems continued. Pump replacement became a yearly event. The homeowners had become completely frustrated with their existing system.
Installation:
In 2013, Industrial Systems, Inc., a CP&S’ channel partner, asked Precision Plumbing if they were interested in becoming a service provider for Barnes Pressure Sewer Products. Precision Plumbing was open to alternatives after spending the last five years dealing with multiple failing pumps. They were averaging a pump life of one year at this job site. Precision Plumbing sent two installation technicians to the problematic site with a Barnes Replacement Core upgrade with the Omni Grind Plus grinder pump. The installation was fast and easy, and the upgraded station no longer suffers from failures or nuisance alarms.
