LOOKING AFTER YOUR PUMPING STATION

SEWAGE PUMPS ARE DESIGNED TO HANDLE EFFLUENT CONTAINING SOLIDS, THEY ARE, HOWEVER, PRONE TO BLOCKING IF ABUSED. THE MORE SOLIDS THAT ENTER THE PUMPING STATION THE GREATER THE RISK.
YOUR PUMPS WILL HANDLE SANITARY PRODUCTS, CONDOMS, TOILET PAPER ETC IN REASONABLE AMOUNTS.
THE PUMPS STRUGGLE TO COPE WITH CLEANING WIPES, BABY WIPES AND MAKE UP REMOVING WIPES ECT THESE PRODUCTS DO NOT BIO DEGRADE WITHIN THE PUMP STATION AND GET CAUGHT IN THE PUMP IMPELLOR AND SHAFT CAUSING FAILURE.

CALL OUTS TO UNBLOCK PUMPS ARE CHARGEABLE BUT EASILY AVOIDABLE!

YOU SHOULD NOT ALLOW FAT TO ENTER THE PUMPING STATION AS THIS CONGEALS AND CLINGS TO THE FLOATSWITCHES PREVENTING THEM FROM WORKING CORRECTLY. FAT ALSO ATTACKS RUBBER CABLES AND CAN RESULT IN WATER INGRESS INTO THE PUMP MOTORS AND FLOAT SWITCHES LEADING TO FAILURE.
