Buy a lifting station
A lifting station is a storage tank for water/wastewater fitted with a pump that drains the water automatically to the sewage system. This device is often used in situations where there is no direct connection to the sewage system: for example, a country house, a cellar, or a house in a remote area.
Parking garages and other facilities with an access ramp usually need to install a lifting station because thousands of litres of water per hour come down during heavy rainfall, which runs down the access ramp and needs to be processed. A lifting station is ideal for this.
Not all pumps that are installed in a lifting station are suitable to be connected to a toilet. Dirty water pumps with a smaller passage (25 mm) will become blocked more quickly if large solid particles need to be processed. In that case, opt for a Feka pump with a passage of at least 50 mm to discharge wastewater from a toilet.
The lifting stations we offer are supplied with a number of connecting pieces, with which you can easily connect the device to your own pipe system.
Installation on the surface or underground
Not all lifting stations, such as the Fekabox and the Fekafos, can be installed in the ground. But if you wish to do this, make sure that a timber frame or concrete casing is placed around it. However, the SaniFos or HPDE lifting station can be installed directly in the ground because these stations are made of premium hard synthetic material. The HDPE model is also fitted with a cast-iron lifting station cover, which makes it suitable for traffic to drive over it.
DSD system
Some of the lifting stations we supply are fitted with a DSD system, which facilitates installing and maintaining the pump. You only need to attach the supplied bracket to the pump's outlet and place it around the DSD kit. By means of a chain, the pump can be lowered along the guide system so that it falls perfectly into place. The pump can then be connected directly to the piping system and begin discharging the wastewater again via the sewage system.
Single or dual pump system
A lifting station may be equipped with or have room for one or more pumps. For example, the Fekafos 280 DSD Dual has room for a dual pump system, which increases its operational reliability. This means that if one of the two pumps malfunctions or breaks down, the lifting station will not overflow, and, as a result, the pipes will not become blocked. Furthermore, a dual pump system is highly suitable for buildings or applications that require frequent draining of large amounts of water. In the event of a temporary peak in water supply in the lifting station, two pumps instead of one pump will run at the same time.
