Classic Wet Well Mounted Pump Station
The Classic Wet Well Mounted Pump Station (WWMPS) delivers municipalities and industry a fully customized packaged lift station solution. It`s compact, above-grade and arrives ready for installation after being factory-built and tested. An easy-lift fiberglass enclosure (fitted with S&L gas-shocks) provides instant access to all station equipment and protection from the elements. Inside, dependable S&L Pumps deliver superior pumping efficiencies and performance, saving on energy costs and yielding decades of reliable service.
As the name implies, Wet Well Mounted Pump Stations position on top of the wet well and use suction-lift to prime and pump for wet well depths reaching 20 feet. Smith & Loveless calls this vacuum-priming.
The Smith & Loveless Vacuum Priming System is a simple, proven process that includes just three basic components: (1) a Sonic Start® Streamline™ prime sensor, (2) a solenoid valve and (3) a vacuum pump. From a totally non-primed condition, the system primes the pump in about sixty (60) seconds under standard rated conditions. Once the Smith & Loveless Pump is primed, it is designed to stay primed indefinitely.
Employing frequency modulation, the Sonic Start® Streamline™ prime sensing replaces the traditional S&L electrode. Because it is not prone to foul in applications with excessive grease or chemicals, Sonic Start® Streamline™ eliminates all traditional routine maintenance tasks associated with vacuum-priming and delivers the world’s most hassle-free wastewater pumping.
Another exciting new feature is CONSTANT PRIME™. This optional control setting continually senses whether or not the pump is primed. If loss of prime occurs, the vacuum-prime sequence will activate to maintain prime. This ensures instant pump start-up when the pump is called to run.
Smith & Loveless offers three different control system options for the Classic Wet Well Mounted Pump Station:
- PROTRONIX® II (PLC-based)
- PumpLogix P Series (Microprocessor-based)
- Relay Logic
These control systems are programmed, tested prior to shipment and operational upon start-up. Individual running time meters and a high water alarm with silent switch are standard.
- Higher pump efficiencies than submersibles and self-priming pumps
- With less parts & confined space hassles matched with durable pumps, owners reap significant life-cycle cost savings over alternative submersibles
- New field-tested Sonic Start StreamlineTM vacuum priming system virtually eliminates all routine maintenance
- All station equipment mounts above the wet well for safe inspection and access at ground level
- Manufactured and tested in a factory-controlled environment prior to shipment, minimizing field labor and assembly problems
- Fully customizable to meet the needs of your application
- Duplex, triplex or series pumping systems with built-in, fail-safe components
- Equipped with operator selectable constant prime / prime on-demand primary system
- Lower installed costs because completed station sets upon the wet well; simply hook up the power, suction and discharge piping; backfill; and start the pump station. It’s that easy.
