What is a sewage pumping station?

A sewage pumping station is an all-in-one solution for collecting and automatically draining domestic wastewater. This includes water from toilets, washbasins, showers, washing machines, and dishwashers.

What is the purpose of a sewage pump?

These systems are commonly used in homes and businesses that are either too far from the main sewage system to dispose of wastewater naturally or located below the sewage line, such as basements. In such cases, a submersible pump is essential to lift wastewater to the correct height.

Sewage pumping stations are also ideal for collecting and draining surplus rainwater. This is particularly useful in areas like parking garages or other facilities with an access ramp, where thousands of liters of water can accumulate during heavy rainfall.

How does a sewage pumping station work?

A sewage pumping station consists of a large tank that houses one or more pumps. The system collects domestic or industrial wastewater and/or rainwater, then automatically pumps it to the main sewage system.

DSD system: simplified installation and maintenance

Some sewage pumping stations are equipped with a DSD system (Dry System Design), which makes installation and maintenance easier. With the supplied bracket, you can attach the pump directly to the DSD kit. The pump then locks into the correct position, ensuring wastewater is discharged properly and efficiently into the drainage system.

Single or dual pump system

A sewage pumping station can be fitted with either a single pump or a dual pump system, depending on the application. For example, the DAB Fekafos 280 DSD Dual supports a dual pump system. This increases operational reliability, as the second pump acts as a backup in case of a malfunction. A dual system is also better suited for high-demand environments that need frequent drainage of large volumes of water.

Recommended option for all situations: DAB Fekabox Series

For versatile and reliable sewage management, the DAB Fekabox Series is suitable for both residential and commercial applications.

When is it useful to install a pumping station?

Installing a pumping station is useful in situations where wastewater cannot flow naturally to a drainpipe or sewage system, such as in the situations described below.

If a basement or underground space with a bathroom, washing machine, or kitchen is situated lower than the sewage system, the wastewater needs to be pumped upwards.
In large buildings or for commercial use, a large volume of wastewater often needs to be processed efficiently.
For houses with no direct sewage connection.
For renovations or extensions if you want to install a bathroom, a toilet, or a kitchen in a location where no fixed drain exists.

A sewage pumping station allows you to solve the problem of limited draining options as well as flexibility in using and arranging the layout of your house or premises. It is a practical solution for disposing of wastewater regardless of location.

What types of sewage pumping stations are available?

Different types of sewage pumping stations (macerator pumping station), compact pumping station, commercial pumping station) are available depending on your needs and required capacity.

How do you select a sewage pumping station?

To choose the best sewage pumping system for your situation, you need to consider a number of aspects. The most common ones are listed below.

Application: Is it for domestic, residential, or commercial use?
Wastewater source: Does it involve sewage water, domestic wastewater, or rainwater?
Determine your water consumption: How much water does the system need to process on a daily basis?
Check the installation requirements: Will the station fit in the available space? Is there a power supply?
Consider future growth: Make sure the station’s capacity remains adequate even if your water consumption increases.
Check ease of maintenance: Choose a model that is easily accessible for cleaning or repair.

In our rainy climate, it is important to purchase a reliable system in order to avoid the risk of flooding. We offer only high-quality sewage pumping systems in our range, so you do not need to worry.

Find out how to determine water consumption

As a basis, apply the guideline of 100 litres per person per day. This includes:

Taking showers;
Flushing toilets;
Running a washing machine and dishwasher;
Cooking and cleaning.

Add up the number of persons in your household. For example: A family of four consumes an average of 400 litres a day. A sewage pumping station does not need to store all these 400 litres at once. The system drains wastewater automatically until a certain level has been reached in the tank. The water is pumped away frequently and, therefore, a large storage capacity is often not needed.

Consider peak usage:

Most of the water is used in the morning (shower, use of toilet) and evening (cooking, cleaning).
Make sure the pumping station has enough capacity to process water during peak hours.

FAQ

What are the advantages of a sewage pumping station?

A sewage pumping station offers many advantages, which include:

Easy installation and maintenance, which may reduce construction costs;
Automatic wastewater disposal without direct contact, which minimises health risks;
Available in different sizes, suitable for both domestic and commercial usage;
Suitable for different applications, such as processing rainwater or wastewater from multiple toilets.

Does a sewage pumping station smell?

Many people are rightly concerned that a sewage pumping station might emit unpleasant odours. Owing to the high rainfall and high humidity in our country, a poorly designed system can quickly become clogged and smelly. Our DAB Fekabox products comply with European standards (EN 12050-1, 12050-2 and 12050-3). This means the stations are entirely covered and watertight, which prevents the release of unpleasant odours.

What are the three types of sewage pumps?

There are three different types of sewage pump stations:

Single pump stations
Twin pump stations
Above ground stations

What size tank do I need?

The size of the station depends on the number of people using the system. You should consider a consumption of 100 litres per person per day, which you then multiply by the number of people in your household or for other applications.

The following guidelines apply:

Small households (1 to 2 people): 100 to 200 litres;
Average households (3 to 5 people): 200 to 500 litres;
Large households or for specific applications: 500 to 1,000 litres.

For commercial premises, please contact us so we can help you determine the right size.

Are sewage pumping stations noisy?

Sewage pumping stations generally do make some noise. This comes mainly from the mechanical elements used to pump the wastewater, and they may produce a humming or buzzing sound. To minimise noise pollution, modern stations are often constructed using special techniques and fitted with soundproofing materials.
