Zoeller 53-0029 3/10 HP effluent pump

SKU CH-FAA4-VDGCR

Moves effluent at 35 gpm at 10 ft head and 20 gpm at 15 ft head with a 3/10 HP motor and tether-float switch

  • Handles 35 gpm at 10 ft head for strong effluent flow
  • Delivers 20 gpm at 15 ft head for reliable lift
  • Cast iron body resists corrosion in wet environments
  • Carbon-ceramic shaft seal protects motor from water intrusion
  • Tether float with piggyback plug enables automatic on/off control

3/10 HP effluent pump

The Zoeller 53-0029 is a 3/10 HP effluent pump rated for 115V AC single-phase power. It draws 4.8 or 9.7 amps depending on load and uses a tether float switch with piggyback electrical connection. The cast iron body and plastic impeller are built for septic or grey-water duty. A 15 ft cord provides placement flexibility.

Homeowners with septic or grey-water systems

This pump suits residential effluent tanks where solids up to 3/4 in are present and head requirements stay below 19.2 ft. It is not for raw sewage with larger solids, high-head applications above 19.2 ft, or continuous dewatering duties that exceed the 35 gpm at 10 ft rating. Buyers needing higher flow at greater lift should look at larger-capacity units.

35 gpm at 10 ft head; 20 gpm at 15 ft head

The pump delivers 35 gallons per minute at 10 ft of head and 20 gpm at 15 ft, with a maximum shut-off head of 19.2 ft. The tether float activates at 7 1/4 in and shuts off at 3 in, giving a usable draw-down range. Beyond 19.2 ft the flow drops to zero, so systems requiring higher static lift will need a different pump.

Questions about this item

What discharge piping size matches the 1 1/2 in outlet on this pump?

Use 1 1/2 in discharge piping to connect directly to the pump's outlet.

Will the tether float switch still operate if I keep my existing 115 V control panel?

Yes, the piggyback plug lets the float switch control the pump on a standard 115 V AC, 60 Hz circuit.

How do I confirm the pump is delivering rated flow after installation?

Measure output at the discharge; expect about 35 gpm at 10 ft head and 20 gpm at 15 ft head.
