External Pump Chamber

If the location of the Diamond sewage treatment plant is on an incline, in a high water table area or a long distance away from the designated discharge point (ie: soakaway/water course/ditch) the final effluent may require pumping. Contact Us for help sizing your pump station.

The Diamond range can be specified with an External Pump Chamber (EPC) which can deliver up to 100 litres per minute of effluent at a head of 4m. 

The EPC can be simply retro-fitted and is easy to maintain.

What comes with the External Pump Chamber?

• The pump chambers are manufactured from high quality glass reinforced plastic
• 240v, 0.25kw submersible pump, integral float switch with stainless steel internals
• The External Pump Chamber is delivered complete with the pipework and valves pre-assembled in the tank, ready for immediate installation into the ground.
• High-level alarm included.
• 50mm MDPE Pipe outlet
• Junction box included
• Invert extension kits for the EPC available (optional extra)
• Custom made dirty water pumping stations available on request
• Pump Station Servicing and Maintenance, Installation and Commissioning service available by our highly trained engineers.

How does the EPC work?

As the level of the liquid rises in the chamber the integral float on the pump is activated, the pump starts and pumps the liquid out of the chamber until the pump float drops and the pump turns off.

The level of the liquid will again rise and the above sequence is repeated.

If the pump fails to pump, the liquid level will rise to activate the high level float and the high level beacon will be illuminated.
