A 225 gallon green septic pump tank approved for Florida installs
The Norwesco 225 gallon septic pump tank, part number 44788, is the Florida-only version of Norwesco's small buried pump chamber: a round green polyethylene tank 47 inches in diameter and 48 inches tall, weighing 79 lb empty. It sits after the septic tank and holds effluent for a submersible pump that sends it on to a drainfield or mound. Access is a 20 inch gasketed manway on top. Norwesco rates it to 130 F, lists its water tanks under NSF/ANSI 61 (the listing names no models), lists its state septic approval as Florida, and backs it with a 3 year warranty. Norwesco's drawing is linked on this page under Technical Drawing.

Where this tank goes
This is a dosing chamber for a Florida home or small commercial system where the drainfield cannot be fed by gravity, which in Florida often means a mound or a drip field on a high water table. The 48 inch height is shorter than Norwesco's 200 gallon pump tank, so it suits a shallow set where the bottom of the hole meets water early; the same 47 inch diameter keeps the excavation narrow. Full of water it holds about 1880 lb. A pump tank stores a dose and sends it on; it does not treat, so the dose volume and the pump cycle come from your county health department approval, not from the tank. If you are totalling system volume, use the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide. Our piece on Norwesco septic approvals and where they apply explains how a state-specific listing like this one differs from a national one.
What to check before you buy
- The state. Norwesco lists this model's septic approval as Florida only. Outside Florida, order the 200 gallon septic pump tank, which carries a listing in every state.
- The manway. A 20 inch gasketed manway is the access for the pump, floats and discharge line. Norwesco's lid size for this tank is 16 inches; confirm the riser you plan to use against the drawing before you order it.
- Inlet and outlet. None are factory installed. The installer cuts the inlet and the discharge to suit the site, with the seals the county requires. Tell us the pipe sizes and we will confirm what to add to the order.
- Temperature. Rated to 130 F, well above household effluent.
- Burial. Follow Norwesco's installation instructions for bedding and backfill, with water in the tank as you backfill. Keep it clear of any driveway or vehicle path unless an engineered cover is in the design.
