The EV Series 4000 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 state-of-the-art packaged pump station incorporates premium efficiency motors designed for wastewater, resulting in 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. Moreover, the EV Series 4000 features a 2-piece split, rolling UV-coated fiberglass enclosure that provides easy 360-degree access to all components.
The cost savings for maintenance and operation are proven and well-documented. For example, a Kansas municipality conducted a study of the repair and maintenance costs of 32 S&L above-ground pump stations compared to 21 submersible pump stations in the same sewerage network over a period of 12 years. The results showed that the S&L pump stations had nearly 56% lower operating expenses, resulting in maintenance and parts savings of $2,750 per station per year.
The EV Series 4000 pump station is equipped with S&L STAR ONE Non-Clog Pumps, which are centrifugal solids-handling pumps that last three to five times longer than a typical submersible pump. These pumps also offer higher efficiencies across the range of pumping conditions.
