Grease trap pumping vs cleaning

Pumping empties the tank; cleaning looks at FOG separation performance. Tallahassee Grease Trap explains the difference.

Operators sometimes use “pumping” and “cleaning” interchangeably. Pumping removes liquid and solids from the interceptor. Cleaning emphasis also includes verifying baffles, inlets/outlets where visible, and that the unit can separate FOG again — not just that it’s empty for a day.
