Test results
Q: Can a sewage pump handle all types of wastewater?
A: Yes if the pH value is within 4 – 9 and max. dry content 3 to 5%.
Q: Can a sewage pump handle all types of wastewater?
A: Yes with solids up to 100 mm (4”) and max. dry content 3 to 5%.
Q: Can a sewage pump handle all types of wastewater?
A: Yes if gravels and stones are max 100 mm (4”).
Q: Why is it important that the distance between the start and stop level is not too long?
A: If the distance is too long, the contractor shall dig too deep in the ground for the pump station.
Q: Why is it important that the distance between the start and stop level is not too long?
A: If the distance is too long, it might require longer motor cable for the pump due to the depth of the pump station.
Q: Why is it important that the distance between the start and stop level is not too long?
A: If the distance is too long it reduces the number of cycles, which may cause sedimentation because the water stays in the pit too long.
Q: What is one of the main challenges facing utility companies today in relation to transportation of wastewater?
A: The wastewater is increasing more and more due to leakage in the discharge pipes and thereby infiltration of ground water.
Q: What is one of the main challenges facing utility companies today in relation to transportation of wastewater?
A: Lower water consumption has changed the composition of wastewater, which now has a higher proportion of dry solid content than before.
Q: What is one of the main challenges facing utility companies today in relation to transportation of wastewater?
A: The wastewater pumps need bigger motors because the discharge pipes from the pump stations are getting longer in order to avoid an additional intermediate pump station.
Q: What is drainage water?
A: Wastewater from parking areas, sidewalks and alike after a rainy weather.
Q: What is drainage water?
A: Wastewater without toilet waste or impurities like paper, diapers and textile fibres.
Q: What is drainage water?
A: Slightly polluted water from a bathroom where the water is running to the drain.
Q: What is parallel operation?
A: When two or more pump stations are operating at the same time.
Q: What is parallel operation?
A: When two or more pumps operate side by side simultaneously.
Q: What is parallel operation?
A: When one pump is pumping into another pump and they are operating at the same time.
Q: How far below ground should the manifold – or the discharge pipe – be installed?
A: It depends on local regulation but typically 1 meter down.
Q: How far below ground should the manifold – or the discharge pipe – be installed?
A: Deep enough not to be damaged by roots from trees and bushes.
Q: How far below ground should the manifold – or the discharge pipe – be installed?
A: Not deeper than gravity to the recipient can be established with a gradient of 1 cm per meter. (0.032 ft per 3.28 ft).
Q: What makes the S-tube® impeller virtually clog-free?
A: The excellent hydraulic efficiency and free passage.
Q: What makes the S-tube® impeller virtually clog-free?
A: The big free passage up t0 160 mm (6.3”).
Q: What makes the S-tube® impeller virtually clog-free?
A: The S-tube® impeller has either a SmartTrim function or a replaceable neck ring to secure the right impeller clearance.
Q: What might be the reason a wastewater pump solution requires a big free passage?
A: The big free passage will eliminate blocking of impeller.
Q: What might be the reason a wastewater pump solution requires a big free passage?
A: The need for high flow and/or a high content of solids.
Q: What might be the reason a wastewater pump solution requires a big free passage?
A: With the big free passage the pump can also pump wastewater contaminated with sand and gravel.
