I have the basement bathroom fully functional. All that's left is the baseboard molding and polyurethane left to do. But after the Christmas crowd left, I noticed the toilet that empties to the ejector pump pit acting sluggish. I pulled the plug on the pump because a couple of raps on the check valve did nothing...Crap, I thought (pun intended). I came home today and pulled the pump out and found those flushable baby wipes wrapped around the impeller shaft. There had to be at least a couple dozen. So anyone with small kids (or grandkids in my case) and even big kids, Beware...they are NOT meant for ejector pump toilets! I never really gave it thought. No packaging warning on the BJs brand wipes either. Man, I've done some nasty jobs before, but this one was over the top. It's back operational and working good as new. Luckily, the pump didn't burn itself out.
I'll have a special appreciation for Andy Dufresne the next time I watch Shawshank Redemption.
