A solution: Sizing and specifying off-mains products

摘要

As has been indicated earlier, commercial pump stations such as the King-span Klargester Pumpstor, offer the option of a connection to the sewer for properties where gravity cannot be relied on. There are two principle regulations dictating design and use of pump stations - Building Regulations H1 and British Standard EN 752-6. Section H1 of Building Regulations for Foul Drainage details the need for 24 hours of foul storage within the pump station in case power supplies fail. BS EN 752-6 gives general design guidance for package pump stations. When specifying a pump station the following is important to understand: 1.The height and distance from the product to the main sewer if pumping directly to it 2.The depth of the incoming drain 3.The type of liquid that needs to be pumped and 4.The type and number of users. Most commonly, people miscalculate the depth of the incoming drain and fail to accurately measure the distance and height to the main sewer into which they're planning to pump.
