Micro 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.
Where micro pump stations are used
Micro pump stations are commonly used for small foul or grey water duties serving an annexe, toilet, utility area, basement, garden room, extension, small outbuilding or isolated welfare area. They are not a shortcut around proper design: the pump, chamber, alarm and discharge pipework still need to match the duty.
Small domestic systems still need service access
The most common problems with small pump stations are lack of access, blocked pumps, missing alarms, undersized chambers, incorrect pipework, poor non-return valve access and unsuitable pumps for toilet waste. A micro system should be easy to inspect and maintain.
Pumping side and civils side
Alton Pumps can support pump selection, supply, replacement, controls and servicing. Where a small external chamber, drainage run or reinstatement is needed, Alton Facility Services can support the civil installation package.
Practical pump station guidance
