The topic of sewer drains may seem unpleasant only to an inexperienced homeowner and only at first glance. Once problems arise with the sewer system, eliminating them becomes the most important task.
If problems with drains are regular, it makes sense to review the original project for errors. To eliminate them, a sewage pumping station may be needed. We will tell you how to install, operate and maintain it.
Sewage station or sewerage station is a device for the forced removal of solid and liquid waste. Such devices are most often used for industrial purposes.
But there are a number of pumping stations specially designed for use in domestic conditions. They are usually installed in private households with or where it is necessary to ensure the transportation of waste to the riser of a centralized sewer system.

There are compact models of sewer pumping stations, which can be installed under the kitchen sink. But connecting a washing or dishwasher it is forbidden
It is necessary to take into account the permissible waste temperature set by the manufacturer for each specific model. Thus, sewage pumping stations, into which warm but not too hot wastewater can be poured, are suitable for connecting to a shower stall, bathtub, toilet, bidet, kitchen sink and so on.
However, if there is an automatic washing machine, you should choose a sewer pumping station model for your home into which wastewater with a temperature of 90 degrees or higher can be discharged. It should be borne in mind that the operating mode of such equipment usually involves boiling.
All this also applies to the dishwasher, from which almost boiling liquid can flow into the drain. In addition to your current home needs, you should evaluate your plans to avoid having to purchase and install a new sewer plant.
If you plan to purchase a dishwasher in the future, it is better to immediately choose a water pump designed for drains with high temperatures.
It is worth paying attention to the number and location of pipes. For each new household device that needs to be connected to, which may appear in the future, there must be a corresponding connection. Otherwise, there will simply be nowhere to connect it.
An overview of the compact sewage station for the toilet is presented here:
This video schematically depicts the installation process of a large pump station:
A sewerage plant can significantly improve life in your home. It is important to choose the right pump pump model and install it correctly. Correct operation and regular maintenance will ensure that there are no problems with this. useful device for many years.
Cities are developing rapidly, industrial enterprises are equipped with new equipment, but problems continue to remain. Therefore, it is necessary to design sewage pumping stations and install them. The demands placed on them are high, because a breakdown will provoke flooding of nearby areas. It is necessary to accurately calculate the water supply level, the type of pumps, as well as their number.
Connecting the pump to the pipes is not that difficultThe KNS level sensor controls. The supply should be determined based on the water inflow to the station.
b) Sewage pumping station 250 sanivort. Removes wastewater discharged from sinks located below the level of the sewer system collector. It is convenient to install it where there is no possibility of gravity drainage.
Complied with. The body material is safe, because it is plastic and is easy to clean. Pumping is controlled by a sensor. The station is equipped with ventilation.
c) Sewage pumping station sanivort 600 - pumps wastewater containing feces. Thanks to it, it is possible to organize water pumping in remote places. Nothing but feces and toilet paper must not be. Liquid temperature up to +40C. Pumping of sewer stations is carried out quickly, because the system’s power is high - 600W. Up to 80 liters are pumped per minute.
On modern market huge selection of electric pumpsThe station is suitable for toilets with a horizontal outlet and a flush barrel volume of at least 6 liters.
d) Grundfos sewage pumping stations are easy to operate and do not require additional maintenance. Station pumps are well suited for high-pressure sewers. Additional systems management will provide reliability and efficiency.
d.) Modular pumping station is a fully factory-ready product. It includes a fully assembled and finished equipment. Installation of a sewage pumping station depends on its purpose. The number of pumps is set based on the same. A block box is being constructed for the station in which it will be located. Pumping stations are designed at the factory. They have an automatic control system. In case of an accident or lack of electricity, it will work in automatic mode for a long time.
Not suitable for household Wastewater, its main purpose is to work with drinking water supply.
E) Sewage pumping stations - equipment that allows you to pump household wastewater, both in private homes and in neighborhoods. When ordering it is important to consider specifications. Stores often offer to choose the necessary equipment yourself. You can get advice on it from the manager. This is a big plus for those who do not understand this.
The main factors influencing cost and characteristics:
The fecal station differs from the others in that the waste liquid entering the system is not uniform in volume and time. Therefore, such reservoirs act as “settlers”. Sediment accumulates in them and releases bad smell. But the danger is that harmful gases accumulate. The main task of each tank is to create an environment for the normal operation of pumps.
Pumping stations modern type can be installed on new and old sewer systems.
Superficial sewerage installation has more power. After all, it is not limited in size and can pump liquid in large volumes. There are two types of such pumps - diesel and electric.
Many people are concerned about the question of whether it is possible preventative work carry out independently. The answer is a clear no. Servicing of the pump is performed exclusively by specialists. Working mode. Service maintenance includes a number of planned mandatory activities. For example, waste collection baskets are installed for use. They need to be cleaned periodically. Only experienced people can do this.
Modern diversion stations are now being produced. They are produced in a modular version and are made of plastic. The factory is engaged in their production.

Due to the plastic body, the station is light in weight. Thereby installation work are easier to carry out, and the service life of the products does not change. In complex stations, the equipment is located inside. The construction of ground structures is no longer necessary.
If it is necessary to drain industrial or water wastewater, a sewage pumping station should be installed. We will consider recommendations for the selection and installation of a sewage pumping station in this article.
The main purpose of a sewage pumping station is to discharge sewage water for waste or domestic purposes. Based on their design, sewage pumping stations are divided into simple, medium and complex.
A sewage pumping station consists of a sealed container to which a sewage pump is connected. Main function pumping is the pumping of sewage waste to another sewer station or to a recycling site.

The sewerage station consists of:
Additionally it is possible to install:
To service the pumping station, a ladder is installed and a platform is arranged inside the tank. Hatches are designed to cover station glasses to protect external environment from the smell.
The principle of operation of the SPS is that sewage water enters the SPS through a pipeline and reaches the pumps. Installed on pipes check valves, which prevent wastewater from returning to the system. The wastewater is pumped through pumps for treatment.
The main function of a sewerage station is forced pumping of waste and sewage water.
If complex relief areas do not allow you to equip a gravity drain, so as not to install deep collectors, it is better to purchase a sewage pumping station.
According to the pumped liquid, the following are distinguished:
In accordance with the scope of application, the following are distinguished:
According to power, sewage pumping stations are divided into:
1. Mini sewer stations are a small sealed container connected to the toilet, right in the toilet or bathroom. Such sewage pumping stations are produced in various shapes, colors and design solutions. The mini-sewage pumping station includes a fecal-submersible pump, which is equipped with cutting mechanisms. Pump power no more than 400 W.
2. Medium sewage pumping stations, which differ in wide range models. Such a station includes a polymer tank, which is installed in the ground, and a pump. The scope of application of medium-sized sewer stations is both domestic and industrial. In the domestic sector, one or two pumps are used, and in the industrial sector, only two. A variety of pumps are used: from models with elements that carry out multi-channel cutting operations for wastewater treatment, to closed single-channel impellers. The first type of pump is not installed in industrial sewage pumping stations, because cutting models are not resistant to stones or other strong objects. If a hard object hits the cutting mechanism blades, the pump immediately breaks down. This is a significant drawback of this type of pump.
3. Large sewage pumping stations are used in urban sewerage and drainage systems. In large systems, powerful multi-channel pumps with impellers are installed. Pumps with a cutting mechanism in large stations do not use.
When choosing a sewage pumping station, you should consider:
Sewage pumping stations are made of polypropylene, fiberglass reinforced and polyethylene. These materials protect the station from corrosion and other external influences.
Pay attention to the internal parts of the pump station; it is better if they are made of stainless steel. In earthquake-prone areas, it is necessary to install sewage pumping stations with heavy-duty casings. In the northern regions, it is necessary to carry out additional insulation of the SPS.
Take care to install vibration and leakage sensors on the pump.
Availability automatic system control will allow you to regulate the operation of the pump and organize uninterrupted operation stations.
You can buy a sewage pumping station in specialized stores or order it directly from the developer.
Let's consider the main manufacturers of sewage pumping stations:
1. Sewage pumping stations Grundfos station(Denmark) is a leader in the sales market for water pumping stations.

3. Sewage pumping station Sanicubic 2 Classic (France) - pumps wastewater into the central sewer system.
Technical features:
4. Sewage pumping station Homa Saniflux (Germany) - prevents flooding of bathrooms in buildings that are located below the sewer pipeline.
Specifications:
5. Sewage pumping station Alta (Russia) - designed for pumping and discharging sewage water.
Advantages of a standard sewage pumping station:
To calculate the CNC, a number of actions must be performed:
1. Determine water flow. By calculating the minimum, maximum and average water flow.
2. Determine the pump head by summing the head height with the heating pipe losses and air losses.
3. Set up a graph that will display general work KNS. The functional settlement must exceed the largest amount of the normal settlement.
4. Analyze pump performance under extreme conditions.
5. Determine the volume of the receiving containers.
Before installing a sewage pumping station, a base should be installed in the form concrete slab, minimum thickness which is 30 cm.
The body of the sewerage station is attached to the slab with collet anchors.
Installation instructions for KNS:
1. Prepare a pit. If groundwater emerges, install a concrete foundation at the base of the pit.
2. Install the station on the foundation. Drill holes in the slab and install anchors.
3. Fill the station with soil.
Advantages of installing a sewage pumping station:
A sewage pumping station is used in cases where it is necessary to lift sewage from the depths and send it to the main sewer system. In this situation, the task was to forcefully pump the wastewater coming from the bathhouse into the central sewer system with the help of a pumping station. Initially, the customer wanted to supply it, but he had to be dissuaded, since TOPAS will not work if it does not contain sufficient food for bacteria.
Real Sewage Pumping Stations cost from 100 thousand rubles, we offered the customer an option similar to the standard sewage pumping station and made a non-standard one. In a standard sewage pumping station, 3 or more sewage drainage pumps with cutting mechanisms are installed. We installed one drainage pump with a knife inside the tube. Collector well Alta Plast Tuba a good option for organizing a CNS with your own hands. This tube is a model Alta Plast Tuba - 2.400, 2 meters high, in fact 210 cm with a sealed bottom and a closing lid.
In order for the pumping station for your sewer system to be as efficient as possible, you should select it carefully, guided by the criteria that we will outline below.
When choosing a station for your home, remember that there is absolutely no point in buying overly powerful and, therefore, much more expensive equipment, the capabilities of which will be used by a third or even a quarter. The selected unit should be optimal and fully meet the needs of your home. For this purpose, the following parameters must be taken into account:
There are no universal formulas used when calculating equipment performance. For this reason, you should use the calculation algorithm, which, as a rule, is set out in the instructions attached to a specific CNS.
The required station capacity is calculated in the following sequence:
By correctly determining the parameters listed above, you can accurately select the optimal equipment that will fully satisfy the needs of your home.
We have already talked about the prices for sewage pumping stations a little higher. Now we want to clarify that the price is a fairly eloquent indicator:
You should not give preference to cheap units if they will be used daily and if there is no additional pump equipment for evacuation and drainage and no reserve tanks are provided.
To begin with, we deliver the materials and tools necessary for installation to the installation site. We begin to dig a foundation pit for the pumping station and...
At the same time, we install a socket inside the tube to supply power to the fecal pump. A hole is drilled with a percussion and the cable is threaded through the corrugation. The cable is mounted to the socket, and the socket is screwed onto the walls of the tube with self-tapping screws.
The outlet pipe was already in the trench and led into the central sewer system; all that remained was to connect it to the station. We are digging a pit to install a sewage pumping station.
When the pit is dug to the required depth, in our case it is 225 cm, we make a sand cushion and level the bottom of the pit. We lay guides for lowering the reinforced concrete slab.
By this time they give us a ride reinforced concrete slab, with which we will anchor our unit. Since the crane board was physically unable to enter the yard, we transported the slab manually for about 30 meters.
The reinforced concrete slab is in place, you can begin to lower the tube into the pit.
Another good thing about the tube is that it is lightweight since it consists only of plastic; we easily lowered it and installed it in place. Next, using a cable, the tube was securely fastened to the reinforced concrete slab. Now you can install the outlet pipe (PND 32) and start burying.
The tube is, of course, buried with sand so that the backfill is dense. Stacked electrical cable in the trench.
To insert the supply sewer pipe into the station body, I needed to drill a hole for the jigsaw blade myself. A circle was cut out and wound up with a rubber seal.
All that remains is to bury...
pumped out the incoming waste.
KNS closed with a lid.
The HDPE 32 outlet pipe in the house is connected to the 50 gray sewer pipe through a transition rubber band, ensuring reliable fastening and tightness.
Overall, the customer was pleased with the work done and promised to recommend us to his friends.
Why do many city residents strive to travel outside the metropolis for at least a few days a month? The answer is obvious - even such a short period of stay in clean fresh air gives them a charge for the rest of the time. At the same time, a dacha or Vacation home it is necessary to equip it with some of the benefits of civilization in order for the vacation to be truly complete.
IN in this case we're talking about on the disposal of contaminated wastewater. This issue should always be resolved at the design stage of any home. You will be lucky if the central collector is nearby.
Otherwise, you will need a sewage pumping station (SPS), which will make it possible to pump dirty water before treatment facilities located nearby, or into the main drainage system.
Below in the article we will tell:
The station is essentially sealed drain hole, which is equipped with one or more pumps. With their help, wastewater is transported in the right direction. Let's highlight the main elements of equipment:
| Storage tank |
|
| Fecal pump | Two units are installed:
Their task is to raise wastewater to the required level, and not to create pressure in the system. After that, they move on by gravity. |
| Pipe system |
|
| Float switches | The instructions recommend installing three or four floats in order to organize full control over the system in the event of any failure. They are intended for automatic switching on and turning off the pump in the system. Their work is organized as follows:
If main pump does not turn on, the 3rd and 4th floats start the backup unit. |
Also, such household pump stations are equipped with:
Tip: when replacing one pump, the station’s operation does not need to be stopped.
It is mounted on the lid, and it consists of two pipes coming out of it:
In expensive pump stations, the latter is equipped with a filtration system.
Tip: install an additional pipe on the lid with your own hands, lowering it almost to the bottom storage tank. This way you can quickly remove wastewater from the tank.
Today, manufacturers offer two main types of such equipment - for domestic and industrial needs. The second includes huge stations that are designed to collect wastewater from large quantity residential buildings. In this article we do not consider them, but will devote more time to mini-sewage pumping stations.
They can also be of two types to work with:
Advice: installing a mini-sewage pump station is advisable if the central sewer collector is located far enough from the house, and when the bathrooms are located in the basement floors.
If the house plan provides for the placement of bathrooms below the level of the first floor and it is impossible to carry out gravity flow of wastewater there, you need to install a mini-SPS directly inside the bathroom. Usually - between the toilet outlet and the sewer. This type of equipment is also a shredder household waste, but you don’t need to connect it sewer pipes large diameter. The devices have an outlet up to Ø40 mm or, more often, Ø32 mm.
