Pumpac

The pump station will be sized to meet the requirements of the 2001 Building Regulations which call for 24 hours storage capacity. The pump will be selected to suit the site and duty, for sewage pumping vortex pumps are used wherever possible but should the lift or pumping distance be substantial it may become more appropriate to use a grinder pump. For waste water a channel pump may be preferable. Our years of experience with underground pump stations has guided us towards carefully selected components so as to ensure the reliability and longevity of the product.

 

1. A robust, durable High Density Polyethylene storage tank with 5 tonne galvanised steel, lockable access cover.
2. One or two free standing pumps from Grundfos, Lowara, Pedrollo or Saer selected specifically for the application. Grinder pumps, 50mm and 80mm pumps are used, the selection being determined by the application and system hydraulics.
3. Heavy duty, ribbed pump delivery hose with robust Kamlock quick connecter which allows a pump to be removed from the fixed pipe work in the storage tank (one per pump).
4. A cast iron ball check valve, designed specifically for laden water in accordance with The Building Regulations (one per pump).
5. A delivery isolation valve.
6. Galvanised iron pipe work terminated at the delivery from the pump station with a 50mm, 63mm or 90mm PE compression fitting for connection directly to the rising main.
7. A 4” rubber grommet which is cut into the storage tank on site at a position to accept the incoming 100mm drainage pipe (extra 4” or 6” grommets are available on request).
8. Optional – A high level alarm with battery back-up.
9. Optional - A control panel built in accordance with IEE Regulations with individual Hand/Off/Auto switches and run/fail indicators for each pump, a high level alarm and optional battery back-up. Most Minipac pump stations only require a control panel if three phase pumps are used.
