What is an effluent pump used for? Effluent pumps are designed to handle the liquid that exits a septic tank after solids have settled. Unlike sewage pumps, they are not meant to handle raw sewage or large solids. The Little Giant 6EC-CIM is a common replacement pump for residential septic systems with a pump chamber or dosing tank.
