Sewage and Stormwater Pump Stations

What is a sewer pump station? 

Sewer pump stations transfer wastewater and sewage from one location to another, especially where gravity alone isn’t enough. Typically connected to the main sewer network, they help move sewage toward the nearest treatment facility.

If you’re looking for a reliable sewage pumping solution, we offer a range of end-to-end systems designed for effective wastewater management. With a focus on quality and innovation, our range is selected to meet a variety of commercial and industrial requirements. Here’s a guide to the specialist sewage pumping stations we have available.

What are the different types of sewer pump stations?

Our collection includes everything from above-ground pump stations to complete stormwater pump packages. Below, you’ll find a breakdown of each option to help you choose the right solution for your specific requirements.

1. Above Ground Pump Stations: These pump stations have an end suction centrifugal pump and a six-hour storage tank. Each one is built for reliability and high performance, meeting AS2941 standards. Available in fibreglass, stainless steel, and polypropylene, our Above-Ground Pump Stations are built for versatility across a wide range of applications.
2. Sewage and Stormwater Package Pump Stations: These fibreglass stations are designed for heavy-duty wastewater treatment in both domestic and commercial settings. Each package features reliable HYFLOW pumps, with grinder pumps for sewage and vortex pumps for stormwater. Available in four sizes and configurable with single or dual pumps.
3. Lift Well Sump Pump Package: For long-lasting sewage treatment, this pump offers reliable water removal for industrial and commercial spaces. It has been built with high-quality materials, including galvanised steel floor and mounting brackets and non-corrosive polypropylene. It includes a self-priming helical rotor pump with suction lift capability up to 6 metres.
4. Packaged Pump Kits: These kits include all the components needed to build an effective sewage pumping station. Available in sewage or stormwater variations, each kit features two HYFLOW submersible pumps, differential flow switches, and a dual pump controller.

What are some important things I should know about sewer pump stations? 

One of the most important distinctions is between stations designed for stormwater and those built for wastewater. Here’s the key difference. 

Sewage pumping 

This type of pump typically uses a grinder pump, which easily cuts through larger solids to reduce clogging in narrow pipe systems. It’s ideal for managing sewage in apartment complexes, commercial buildings, industrial sites, and larger infrastructure projects.

Stormwater pumping 

These pumps typically use a vortex impeller, which creates a whirlpool effect to keep solids suspended and moving. This reduces clogging and allows stormwater to flow freely through larger piping networks, making it ideal for handling runoff in commercial and industrial environments.

FAQs

Do sewage pumping stations need servicing? 

Yes, all wastewater pump stations require regular servicing to maintain performance and avoid breakdowns. Most pump systems should be inspected every 6 to 12 months, depending on site conditions and usage. Preventative maintenance extends the lifespan of components like submersible pumps, float switches, level alarms, and check valves, while reducing the risk of blockages or failure.
