Above-ground wastewater pump station offers efficiency, long service life, operator ease and safety

Smith & Loveless Inc‘s EVERLAST Series 5000 Pump Station is an above-ground wastewater pump station designed for high efficiency, long service life, operator ease and safety, and low operation and maintenance costs.

The EV Series 5000 pump station comes as a complete, factory-built and tested system that is fast and simple to install in both new installations and replacements of submersible pumps. This packaged pump station incorporates larger, premium efficiency motors designed for reduced energy consumption costs and a smaller carbon footprint. 

Unlike submersible pump stations, all mechanical equipment is safely located and easily accessible above ground and outside the wet well, eliminating confined space hazards during routine maintenance and operation. The EV Series 5000 accommodates larger S&L pump sizes and piping, allowing for a much higher pumping capacity up to 3,000gpm (189lps) and higher heads (TDH) up to 255 ft. (78m). 

The EV Series 5000 pump station includes a split, dual-piece enclosure supported by gas shocks, specifically designed to accommodate larger STAR ONE Non-Clog Pumps up to 10 in. (250 mm) in size. S&L’s STAR ONE Non-Clog Pumps, which are centrifugal solids-handling pumps, last three to five times longer than a typical submersible pump. These pumps also offer higher efficiencies across the range of pumping conditions.

QUICKSMART PLC controls provide an intuitive touchscreen for simplified training and operation, with unparalleled system monitoring, troubleshooting and predictive maintenance capabilities. Optional RapidJack check valves eliminate the need for time-consuming valve disassembly and interim piping realignment and are easily accessed by removing just four bolts. Another popular option is the DURO-LAST 316/Lean Duplex Series 2100 Stainless Steel Baseplate which comes with a 25-year warranty, the highest level of protection available in the industry.
