Pump Stations for the Collection and Disposal of Waste Water/Sewage

Pump Stations are available in capacity ranging from 6 litres to 6500 litres and selection of the size of tank and size of pump is determined by a number of different factors.

What size tank do I need?

This depends on the amount of effluent that is being discharged into it and if it is a domestic application or a commercial/industrial application.

What size/type do I need for a domestic application?

If sewage effluent is being discharged into the tank and it is secondary to a gravity fed toilet system within the dwelling, choose between a Sanisplit or a 90 litre Pump Station. If it is the primary system of storage and disposal of sewage effluent, then a 1200 litre polyethelene tank is required to give a minimum of 24 hour storage.

What model submersible pump do I select to go inside the Pump Station or polythelene tank?

Refer to "Pump Selection Guide - Submersible Pumps"

Does the tank need to be vented?

Saniplit is self venting, Pump Stations and polyethelene tanks need to be vented to atmosphere.
