Effluent pumps are essentially sump pumps on steroids

An Effluent pump is used inside a septic tank. Effluent is the grey water present after solids have settled. For various applications, effluent pumps range in horse power from 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 3/4, 1 and up. Used primarily for pumping semi-clear liquids, submersible centrifugal effluent pumps can pass 5/8" solids.

Available are designs in serveral types, sizes and materials. click here to conatct us for assistance selecting the type of float switch or automatic control - alarm panel to suit your application.

We also stock turbine type effluent pumps capable of pumping against relatively high static heads.

High Head Turbine Filtered Effluent Pumps

Turbine pumps, similar to (fresh) water-well pumps, are another type of effluent pump. Turbines are capable of much higher pumping pressures (heads) than centrifuguals. Often they are used in pressure sewer applications where only the effluent is sent to treatment. Trubines are not designed to handle solids and work best when installed in applications where the effluent is filtered.

We offer a variety of turbine pumps for new applications or to replace S.T.E.P. system effluent pumps for peat filter, mound systems, sand filter low pressure dosing systems and drip irrigation onsite wastewater dispersal systems. All have design features for long trouble-free operation; continuous duty rating, stainless steel corrosion resistant construction, hermetically sealed motor.

Stocked in several models and voltages for 8, 12 and 20 gallon per minute GPS applications. Larger flow turbine pumps are also available.

Concentric Enviro Filtered Pump Vaults, with self-contained pump and alarm alarm switches. Simplex and duplex designs for high head filtered effluent applications. Perfect for large subdivisions or steep terrain developments where distances and hills make pumping to treatment a challenge for other pressure sewer designs. Often STEP systems are a worthy alternative to grinder pump sewege stations.

STEP systems work in conjunction with a solids collection (Septic) tank. During times of power or pump failure, STEP systems offer considerbly more "Flushing" capacity than a typical grinder sewage ejector system. The cost of pump replacement in a STEP system is considerably less than a comparable residential grinder pump.

Ultraviolet (UV) Effluent Sterilization

For back end sterilization on ATUs in open discharge. Salcor UV sterilization beats chlorinators hands down. New UV sterlizing unit that is designed expressly for gravity flow from a secondary treatment plant or sand filter. Insures public health protection on problem or ecologically sensitive sites without the undesirable chemical side effects of chlorine or mechanical complexity of ozone generators. The Salcor Unit Supplies 30,000 micro-watts/cm2 of UV radiation (16,000 micro-watts/cm2 are required to meet USPHS standards for drinking water - 6,600 to kill fecal coliform. The discharge levels of contaminants and nutrients are so low they can be safe for open discharge where permitted. Units are 4" pipe size and can be set in parallel or series for up to 54,000 GPD
