Sewage Pump Stations by Alton Pumps

Single Pump Stations

Single pump stations can be suitable for some smaller domestic or light duty applications, but they have less resilience than twin pump systems.

Single Pump Stations
Practical answer

Single 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 single pump stations may be suitable

A single pump arrangement may be used for smaller domestic or micro pump station duties where the consequence of failure is manageable and the system can be serviced easily. It must still have suitable storage, access and alarm consideration.

Limitations of single pump systems

Where a pump station serves multiple properties, commercial premises, critical drainage or high consequence locations, a twin pump duty/standby system is often more appropriate. The right choice depends on risk, usage and downtime tolerance.

Upgrade options

Some single pump systems can be upgraded with better controls, alarms, replacement pumps or in some cases a twin pump replacement chamber.
