Description
Submersible Effluent Pump With 2-Inch Discharge For Effluent And Wastewater
Product Overview
The HCP Model FN-22U is a submersible effluent pump designed for wastewater with limited solids. It's commonly used for effluent pumping, low-pressure sewer systems, and general dewatering in locations like septic tanks, lift stations, and flooded basements. Constructed with a cast iron upper cover and a 304 stainless steel motor frame, it features a vortex impeller that allows soft solids to pass without clogging. This design is ideal for septic tank drainage.
Key Benefits of the HCP Effluent Pump
- Achieves efficient fluid movement with a maximum flow rate of up to 112 GPM (60Hz).
- Handles wastewater effectively with a 2-inch discharge and vortex impeller design.
- Passes soft solids and fibrous materials up to 1-3/8 inches to minimize clogging risks.
- Ensures reliable operation with a double mechanical seal (CA/CE & SiC/SiC).
- Protects the motor from overheating with a built-in auto-cut thermal protector (Single Phase).
- Prevents moisture intrusion using an epoxy resin-sealed cable base.
- Offers installation flexibility with an optional guide rail system (GRS) for easy removal.

Key Features of HCP Model FN-22U Effluent Pumps
Vortex Impeller (U Type)
The vortex impeller creates a whirlpool effect that allows long fibrous materials and solid waste to pass through without contacting the impeller directly, reducing clogging in effluent transfer applications.
Epoxy Cable Base
An epoxy resin seal at the cable entry point prevents moisture from wicking into the motor through the core wires, protecting internal components in submerged conditions.
Auto-cut Protector
The single-phase motor includes an automatic On/Off protector that shuts down the pump to prevent burnout caused by high temperatures or excess amperage draw.
Double Mechanical Seals
A superior abrasion-resistant mechanical seal system, manufactured with silicon carbide, ensures effective sealing and durability in harsh effluent environments.
High Efficiency Dry Motor
Stator coils are treated with insulating varnish to ensure insulation and efficiency, providing reliable power for the 2 HP effluent pump 112 GPM flow rate performance.
Performance Overview
The HCP Model FN-22U provides reliable performance for effluent and light sewage applications. It delivers a maximum head of 65.6 feet and a maximum flow of approximately 112 GPM at 60Hz. Designed for continuous operation when fully submerged, it ensures efficient motor cooling. The recommended operating range includes liquid temperatures between 32°F and 104°F (0–40°C).
Applications
- Low-pressure sewer pump systems
- Septic tank drainage
- wastewater transfer
- Flooded basement drainage
- light commercial wastewater applications
- Agricultural wastewater management
- Sump pits with limited solids
Common Use
- Residential effluent transfer
- Commercial basement drainage
- Small-scale sewage lift stations
Installation & Use Notes
- Solids Handling: This model handles solids up to 1-3/8 inches; ensure waste does not exceed this diameter.
- Submersion: The pump is designed for submersible use; do not run dry for extended periods.
- Electrical: Verify voltage matches the specific single-phase or three-phase model purchased (230V, 460V, or 575V).
- Check Valve: Install a check valve in the discharge line to prevent backflow when the pump cycles off.
- Safety: Always disconnect power before servicing or installing the unit.
Accessories & Add-Ons
- Guide Rail System (GRS): Facilitates easier installation and removal for maintenance without entering the pit.
- Float Switch: Pair with a SJE AmpMaster 20 Amp Wide Angle Pump Float Switch for automatic operation.
- Control Panel: Recommended for three-phase models or dual-pump alternating systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the HCP FN-22U suitable for grinding solids?
No, this is a vortex impeller pump, not a grinder pump. It passes soft solids up to 1-3/8 inches but does not shred them.
Can I use this pump for continuous duty?
Yes, the pump is rated for continuous operation provided it remains sufficiently submerged to allow proper motor cooling.
What is the difference between the single-phase and three-phase models?
The single-phase model typically includes a built-in capacitor and thermal protection. Three-phase models require an external control panel with overload protection.
What size discharge pipe should I use?
The pump comes with a 2-inch discharge flange. For optimal performance, use a 2-inch pipe to match the pump outlet.
How does the vortex impeller help with clogging?
The vortex design creates a flow that pushes solids through the volute without passing through tight impeller vanes. This helps reduce clogging while handling soft solids up to 1-3/8 inches.
Is this pump compatible with a guide rail system?
Yes, the FN-22U is compatible with a Guide Rail System (GRS), allowing safer and easier removal for maintenance without entering the pit.
Where can I find more HCP FN series submersible pump specifications?
