Pump wells 

What Is a Pump well?

A pump well is a unit that encases a black and grey wastewater pump. It is engineered to pump all types of wastewater; whether domestic, commercial, or industrial, where it is required to pump the flow of the water in the pipes to a higher location.

After water has been used in a home or a commercial property, it is collected and needs to be carried to the wastewater treatment plant for processing before it is returned to the environment.

The flow of wastewater increases, as it nears the treatment plant. When the flow slows down or it becomes impossible for the water to make it to the system, the pumps provide assistance in pushing the water to the wastewater treatment plant and through to the process of treating the liquid waste.

What Is the purpose of Pump wells?

Pump wells need to be Maintained

As mentioned above, the purpose of installing pump wells are for easy and smooth flow of liquid waste to higher elevations.

It handles the wastewater; being fed to gravity pipelines and stored in underground pits or wet wells, which can detect the level of liquid waste. When the wastewater reaches the predetermined level; the pump starts to operate, by lifting the wastewater upwards and the wastewater is discharged through the treatment plant.

You can choose a pump well that suits your specific needs and this equipment can handle all types of wastewater – from effluent to drainage and sewage; be it from domestic, commercial or the industries.

These pump wells are cost efficient and environmentally friendly. They are highly reliable products, as approved by the Australian Standards.

As in sewage treatment plants and other devices, pump wells need to be maintained as well. You can’t install any sort of plant on your property and ignore it, maintenance is very much a part of any machinery. This is to ensure that it works to its optimum capacity. Maintaining it will also mean that it will last for a longer period, which in turn gives more value to the product. 

The working condition of your pump well can greatly affect the life expectancy of your pumping system. Organic pollutants such as rust, dirt and all matters that settle at the bottom of a liquid can force your pump to work under pressure.
