Platinum AquaSump ECO - Basement Sump Station

Platinum AquaSump ECO - Basement Sump Station

Chamber Construction and Design

The Platinum AquaSump ECO Basement Sump Station is meticulously designed with a focus on durability, efficiency, and ease of installation.

The chamber, constructed from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), stands at 60cm tall and features a 55cm diameter, providing ample space for the efficient operation of the included KSB 301 Amadrainer automatic pump. Its white colouration is not just for aesthetics; it signifies the robustness of the material against various environmental conditions, ensuring longevity.

A Clarke Drain HDPE frame coupled with a lid secures the chamber, offering protection and safety while maintaining easy access for maintenance.

KSB 301 Amadrainer Automatic Pump

Central to the system is the KSB 301 Amadrainer automatic pump, a pinnacle of engineering designed for the effective management of effluent water. This pump can handle solids up to 10mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

It is a fully floodable, vertical, close-coupled, single-stage submersible motor pump with IP 68 rating, ensuring operation in up to 2m of immersion depth. With features such as a magnetic switch with adjustable level control, integrated motor protection, and triple shaft seal lubricated by barrier fluid, the pump guarantees high operational reliability and a long service life.

Installation and Assembly:

The system is designed for self-assembly, requiring a saw for PVC pipe adjustments, solvent weld adhesive for secure connections, and a hole saw for the tank connector fitting.

This approach allows for a tailored installation process, adaptable to various settings. Technical data such as flow rate, head, temperature tolerance, and free passage size are provided to ensure compatibility with the installation site’s requirements.
