Pump Station Maintenance are assessed around the pumped liquid, chamber type, pump duty, controls, alarms, floats, valves, rising main, ground conditions and access for future maintenance.
What pump station maintenance are used for
Pump station maintenance keeps pumps, floats, valves, guide rails, controls and alarms working before failure causes flooding or loss of service.
Selection and site considerations
A maintenance visit should be more than a quick visual check. It should consider pump operation, float function, chamber condition, valves, non-return valves, controls, alarm operation, electrical symptoms and any signs of ragging, grease or corrosion.
Repair, replacement and maintenance considerations
The correct approach depends on the age of the chamber, pump duty, condition of floats, valves, non-return valves, guide rails, control panel, alarms, rising main and access. Alton Pumps can support the pumping equipment and Alton Facility Services can support civils where excavation, chambers, pipework or reinstatement are required.
What to send before attendance
Useful information includes the site postcode, photographs of the chamber and control panel, pump model plates, alarm status, inlet depth if known, rising main route, discharge point, access restrictions, and whether the system handles foul sewage, grey water, surface water, rainwater or commercial wastewater.
