There are two different kinds of pumping stations for you to choose from: the ready-to-use and the buriable. The installation work differs depending on the model preferred. Since they are electrically powered and need to be wired, both stations require the expertise of an authorized electrician upon setting up. What is a pumping station, you ask? How does one go about choosing the most fitted one for their home? What are SFA's available pumping station models? Here are the answers!
An introduction to pumping stations
Both the ready-to-use and the buriable stations operate the same. At home, as wastewater gets used, it progressively flows through the pumping station. Whenever a determined threshold level is reached, an engine-powered turbine sucks it up to later evacuate it to the sewer network via a discharge pipe. Equipped with a shredding system, pumping stations make it possible to process and drain human waste. Once wastewater is taken care of, the whole process resumes: as the water level lowers, the floating sensor comes down. As we have already seen above, there are two types of pumping stations:
The ready-to-use pumping station
The ready-to-use pumping station is better suited for the disposal of wastewater from a bathroom situated below the primary wastewater system of the property, that is, in the basement, usually. Very little cumbersome, such a pumping station is best set up in the basement.
The buriable pumping station
By raising the wastewater level, the buriable pumping station helps with its discharging into the drainage network of the city. Buried only a few feet from the building it is linked to, such a station is best used when the premises are found below a city's sewage system. Unobtrusive, it is easily accessible for maintenance work.
How to pick your pumping station?
Whether personal or professional, to choose the pumping station that best meets your needs, you must consider the following elements:
◾ The problem at hand;
◾ The type of wastewater to process;
◾ Both the volume capacity and maximum total dynamic head of the station.
The issue at stake
Before picking your pumping station model, first, identify your needs. There are two types of scenarios at play, generally:
◾ You must clear wastewater from one or several other shower rooms located below your home drain system (e.g., the basement laundry room) or outside your building (e.g., outdoor kitchen, pool house). A ready-to-use station is your best bet in this case.
◾ Your premises are either below or far enough away from the city drainage network: therefore, a buriable pumping station is recommended.
The different types of wastewater to drain
The pumping station must be compatible with the kind of wastewater that is to be pumped out into the sewerage network: gray water, black water, human waste, etc. Moreover, its use will be different depending on whether it is used privately or professionally.
The volume capacity of the pumping station
Volume capacity refers to the amount of water a pumping station tank can hold. It is primordial that it corresponds to your actual needs to prevent the pump from overexertion. It is typical to choose a 100-liter tank for a five-room home. Each additional room accounts for an extra volume of 25 liters. Note that the system capacity is proportional to the pump output.
The maximum total dynamic head of the pumping station
Commonly referred to as lift height, the total manometric size of the pumping station plays an essential part. It varies depending on how your home or professional premises are laid out. This measure is calculated based on the distance separating the pumping station from the sewer network. In addition to the height, the horizontal distance is also to be taken into account.
Other characteristics of a pumping station
In addition to the above, other criteria come in handy when picking the right pumping station. These include engine power and usage, noise level, number of inputs, maximum inflowing wastewater temperature, etc.
Pumping station accessories
Lastly, pick a pumping station that comes with the necessary accessories for its proper functioning, namely: a non-return valve, a sleeve, and connectors. You can also opt for a model with an alarm box, either remote or not.
