Environment One Corporation Open Wetwell Grinder Pump Station Fiberglass Basin

The W-Series is E/One's most versatile grinder pump station — a range of basins, covers, discharges, inlets and panels are available. Grinder pumps pump wastewater from the home to the central sewer and/or treatment system through small-diameter pipes. W-Series Fiberglass stations are available with one grinder pump (simplex) and up to four pumps (quadplex). E/One's grinder pump station consists of a pump inside an open wetwell tank. Stations can be configured with one, two, three, or four grinder pumps. Several tank sizes are available, depending on the number of pumps needed. See the Drawings (below) for the tank choices available with each station. The grinder pump, motor controls and level-sensing are integrated into a compact unit, easily removable for service. Solids are ground into fine particles that pass easily through the pump, check valve and small-diameter pipe lines — even objects that are not normally found in sewage, such as plastic, rubber, fiber, wood, etc. The 1-1/4" discharge connection can be adapted to any piping materials that meet local code requirements. The internal check valve assembly, located in the grinder pump, is custom designed for non-clog, trouble-free operation. The grinder pump is automatically activated and runs for very short periods. Electrical consumption of the grinder pump is low and will vary with actual water consumption. For example, a single household that uses 250 gallons of water per day should use less than 10 kwhr per month to run a simplex station.
