Free Standing Lift Stations

Above ground lift stations are an essential solution for the effective management of wastewater in homes and commercial spaces. It allows for the elevation of water from various fixtures, such as toilets, showers, and washing machines, to a higher discharge point.
This installation is particularly useful when the sewage system is at a higher elevation than the appliances, thus preventing drainage issues. Additionally, it helps maintain the integrity of infrastructure by avoiding water stagnation and unpleasant odors.
With a variety of models available, it's crucial to choose a lifting station that meets the specific needs of your space, considering the volume of water to be discharged and the layout of the installations. Proper installation ensures optimal performance and increased durability of the equipment.

Whether for low-gravity areas or basement installations, above-ground lift stations ensure optimal performance through their powerful pumps and ability to handle wastewater and water with solid particles. If you're looking for a practical and economical solution for your plumbing needs, explore how an above-ground lift station can meet your requirements.
What is an Above-Ground Lift Station?
An above-ground lift station is an independent system designed to elevate black and gray water when it cannot flow naturally to the sewage system. Equipped with one or more pumps, it suctions wastewater and pushes it up to the sewage system. This type of station is especially useful for basements, garages, or properties in low-slope areas, where gravity drainage alone is insufficient.
The lift station can handle various liquids, including clear water, wastewater, and water with solid particles. It consists of a tank that temporarily stores the water, one or more pumps, and a control system that automatically activates the pump when the water level reaches a defined threshold.
Advantages of an Above-Ground Lift Station
Choosing an above-ground lift station offers many benefits for managing wastewater effectively. It integrates seamlessly into any setup and is available in different types to meet specific needs.
1. Ease of Installation: Unlike buried stations, an above-ground lift station can be directly installed basement, garage or utility room, simplifying setup and reducing costs.
2. Versatility: This type of lift station is capable of handling various types of wastewaters, whether from toilets, kitchens, or bathrooms, efficiently elevating both wastewater and gray water.
3. Pump Performance: The pumps are designed for continuous operation, ensuring efficient water evacuation even during heavy use, providing high flow rates for smooth, uninterrupted drainage.
4. Cost-Effectiveness: Above-ground lift stations are competitively priced yet highly reliable. Their straightforward installation can also save on costly renovations.
5. Quick, Complete Delivery: Most manufacturers offer fast delivery with all necessary accessories for installation, including pipes, check valves, and pump control systems.
How Does an Above-Ground Lift Station Work?
The operation of an above-ground lift station relies on one or more pumps submerged in a tank. As wastewater accumulates, a float or electronic sensor detects the water level, and when it reaches a specified threshold, the pump activates to transport the water to the sewage network or another designated discharge point.
Above-ground lift stations are designed for continuous operation and require minimal maintenance. Depending on the model, they can handle wastewater with varying amounts of solid particles, which impacts pump selection.
Some lift stations include a safety system to prevent overflow in case of failure. Modern systems are also generally quiet, ensuring comfortable usage.
Choosing the Right Above-Ground Lift Station
Selecting the appropriate lift station requires considering several technical criteria to ensure it meets your needs.
1. Identify Your Requirement: Determine your primary need:
o To evacuate water from rooms located below the main discharge level (e.g., a basement laundry room) or outside the building (e.g., summer kitchen or pool house), an above-ground lift station is ideal.
o For buildings below or far from the municipal discharge network, a buried lift station may be necessary.
2. Type of Station and Water to Be Handled: Different models handle various types of wastewater, including water with solid particles. Ensure that the chosen station is compatible with your intended usage, such as for toilets or laundry machines.
3. Pump Power: The pump’s power dictates the station’s capacity to elevate water over specific heights and distances. For installations with a long discharge distance, opt for a model with a powerful pump.
4. Tank Volume Capacity: The tank size of the lift station should suit your needs to prevent excessive pump activation.
5. Price and Value for Money: Lift station costs vary based on pump power, tank volume, and the types of wastewater they can handle. Compare options within your budget, considering the performance each offers.
6. Ease of Maintenance: Select a model with features like an easy drainage system and removable filters for simplified maintenance.
