SEWAGE TREATMENT

Surface Water Pumps

A fully automatic wastewater pumping system suitable for pumping surface and/or groundwater to a higher level when gravity drainage is not possible and/or economical to install. 

Surface water pumps provide up to 65 litre storage capacity depending inlet depth. They can accept waste from car parks, car washes, floor areas, down pipes, cavity membrane systems or similar. 

The system consists of a polyethylene tank, one automatic wastewater submersible pump and a solid top, locking, galvanised steel access cover (FACTA AA). It discharges to solvent welded 1¼” Class E PVC. Optional discharge reducer kits can increase external discharge diameter to 1½” or 2” to reduce friction loss. 

It is easy to install as inlets can be positioned to your site’s requirements. Inlet information to be supplied at time of order, or can be drilled on site. 

For groundwater and surface water pumps where inflow cannot be controlled, twin pump systems complete with a high-level alarm and battery backup system should be used, in accordance with BS 8102:2022 and PCA Guidelines. High level alarms and battery backup systems can be purchased to your specification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Packaged pumping systems are pre-assembled systems used to pump wastewater to a sewer or sewage treatment plant where gravity drainage is not possible or economical to install. They are fully automatic units with all necessary components installed in a chamber (as well as external control panels and alarms if applicable) making them easy to transport, install and service.

Any application where gravity drainage of wastewater is not possible or economical to install.

Sewage pumps should run intermittently. The waste rises in the chamber until it reaches a set level upon which a float switch will activate the pump. Once the waste level has fallen sufficiently the pump is switched off.

The main considerations when buying a packaged pumping systems are the wastewater type, inflow rate, storage requirements and the height and length of the discharge pipework.

If in doubt, get in contact with our our Sales Team for advice.

Packaged pumping systems should be serviced regularly by a trained engineer. Provided they are well maintained they will last a long time. Individual components, including pumps, will wear down over time and will need replacing eventually. The rate of wear depends on how often they are used and whether the system is abused (flushing incompatible items). Our systems are designed to be easy to maintain.

Correctly specifying the chamber and pumps will ensure that the system operates less frequently and with less effort. An under-specified system will have to work more often and harder, requiring more electricity. It also increases wear on the pumps so they will need to be replaced more frequently.  

Inflow of surface water or groundwater cannot be controlled so if there is a power cut or the system fails there is a risk of flooding. Consequently, we do not recommend that foul systems accept surface water and groundwater.

 

A second pump provides a backup in case the primary pump fails or becomes blocked. For surface water and groundwater applications where inflow cannot be controlled twin pump systems are recommended in accordance with BS 8102:2022 and PCA guidelines.

Twin pump systems also offer increased life spans due to reduced wear on the pumps and internal components.
