How does a ejector pump work?

An ejector pump operates using a jet pump mechanism, utilizing high-pressure fluid to create a vacuum that draws in liquid waste. As the pressurized fluid is forced through a nozzle, it accelerates and creates a low-pressure area, which pulls the surrounding liquid into the pump. The mixture of waste and fluid is then discharged through a pipe, allowing for the effective removal of sewage or other liquids. This system is commonly used in situations where gravity drainage is not feasible, such as in basements or low-lying areas.
