Pump Tank

Application

A pump tank is required when:

• the output pipe of the trade waste tank is below the level of the sewer entry pipe
• the kitchen waste pipe is lower than the waste tank inlet pipe

Common situations include:  a restaurant’s trade waste tank (grease trap) is located below the level of the sewer; an automotive workshop that has an above ground petrol and oil interceptor and the contaminated waste water needs to be pumped up to it.

A pump tank would ideally be fitted with multiple pumps and include features such as quick-release camlock connectors, non-return valves, high-level alarms, and pre-wired control station junction box.

What size pump tank will my business need?

The size, or capacity, of the pump tank and configuration of pipe nozzles is matched to the volume of waste water flow and the trade waste tank.  Submersible pump selection is also made according to the particular application or duty required.  Please note: pumps are sold separately.  Your plumber will be able to advise you of the most appropriate size tank for your application.

Capacity:     Pump Tanks: 90 litres – 700 litres
