Above-ground pump station

Smith & Loveless In‘c highlights the’s EVERLAST Series CAPSULAR Above-Ground Pump Station is a pre-engineered wastewater pumping solution that offers enhanced safety, reliability, and high-performance pumping capacity.

Engineered for above-ground installation, the CAPSULAR Above-Ground Pump Station eliminates confined space hazards and minimises field labor with its factory-built and tested construction, making it a safe and efficient choice for municipal sewer systems, industrial facilities, and large-scale commercial or residential developments. Designed to deliver the lowest life-cycle costs in the industry, the station prioritizes operator safety, simplified maintenance, and installation efficiency across a wide range of applications.

Accommodating flows up to 7,200 gallons per minute (GPM) and total dynamic head (TDH) up to 450 feet, the CAPSULAR Above-Ground Pump Station features multiple S&L STAR ONE Non-Clog Pumps placed on a baseplate outside the wet well. Pump sizes range from 4-in to 12-in with piping up to 18-in, offering exceptional flexibility for various design requirements. The pumps are readily accessible for maintenance, allowing for rapid inspection and service without confined space entry. For more challenging applications where heavy solids or flushable wipes are present, the X-PELLERmono-port impeller option provides clog-free reliability.

The entire system is constructed and tested at the factory to Hydraulic Institute standards prior to shipment, ensuring the equipment meets specified hydraulic and electrical requirements before arriving on site. This prepackaged approach significantly reduces on-site installation time and ensures quality control from a single-source provider. Available with either a steel or pre-fabricated enclosure, or as a skid-mounted unit, the system can be customized with optional features such as HVAC, lighting, and workstations for continuous human occupancy.

The system’s high-efficiency S&L STAR ONE pumps provide long service life and lower energy costs compared to submersible alternatives. Operators benefit from intuitive QUICKSMART PLC touchscreen controls, which offer real-time system diagnostics, operational monitoring, and alarm management. Maintenance can be further simplified with the optional RapidJack check valves, which allow for easy valve access by removing only four bolts. The DURO-LAST stainless steel baseplate, also available as an option, delivers unmatched durability and a 25-year warranty.
