Looking After Your Packaged Pump Stations Means Looking After Your Health
Water is essential for life on this planet as all living creatures need it. Since water is required for most body processes, as humans we can’t go on many days without being hydrated. Apart from this significant role, it’s also important when it comes to managing a household. Though we might think we’re the brightest civilisation there ever was in terms of inventions (technology aside, water toilet is a modern creation after all), water management goes way back in history to the days of ancient Romans who were very much into plumbing. The bigger challenge they had to deal with was what to do with the wastewater and how to get to a higher level of sanitation which led to the creation of sewers.
The ingenuity of ancient Romans brought about changes in modern day times, as they were the inspiration for the development of pumping systems. Pumping systems help transfer surface water all the way to the sewer or local drain with the use of pumpsets that are part of a storage tank. In the medieval days, when people had forgotten about Roman sewer systems, wastewater was the reason for an outbreak of many diseases and epidemics. With all the toxins nowadays, if not sanitised, this water can badly affect human health as well as ecosystems which is what makes pump stations so useful. There are plenty of choices of packaged pump stations available for sale that can be used in many applications, from sewerage and stormwater, to wastewater, industrial waste and dewatering.
Taking care of the packaged pump stations is just as important as choosing the right ones to buy and instal them properly for optimal functioning. First off, you have to be aware of the kind of waste that is allowed through the pump stations. You must make sure they are only used for biodegradable products, foul water, sewage and natural human waste, nothing non-biodegradable because it can clog the storage tanks. Considering it’s not only your toilet that gets connected to the pump station, you have to be wary of what goes through baths and sinks as well. Forget about flushing down sanitary pads, medicine, toys or anything that can block the pipework.
To make use of a packaged pump station in the long run, you have to carry out electrical servicing from time to time as they have controllers which are crucial for the overall work of the stations. It can save the pump station as well as your wallet, reducing bigger running costs that can result in even having to buy a new pump station altogether. It doesn’t hurt being more environmentally alert to avoid getting problems as serious as the ones of Rio de Janeiro’s Guanabara Bay.
