Grey Water Pump Stations support is handled around the actual pump station arrangement: chamber type, pumped material, pump duty, controls, alarms, valves, rising main, access, ground conditions and whether the work is repair, servicing, refurbishment, replacement or new installation.
What grey water normally means
Grey water normally refers to wastewater that is not toilet foul sewage. It may come from basins, showers, laundries, welfare areas, commercial sinks or washdown points depending on the site. It can still contain debris, fats, hair, detergents and silt, so pump selection matters.
Do not assume a clean water pump is suitable
Some grey water applications are relatively light duty, while others are aggressive or debris-heavy. The pump, chamber, controls and pipework must suit the actual liquid, flow rate and solids risk.
Commercial and domestic grey water systems
Grey water pump stations can be used in domestic basements, welfare units, commercial units, laundries, changing rooms and building refurbishments. Civil installation support is available through Alton Facility Services where required.
Practical pump station guidance
This page answers the practical questions people ask before they call: what the pump station is used for, what can fail, what details are needed, how the equipment and civil scope split, and when the likely route is repair, servicing, refurbishment, replacement or installation.
