These workhorses of the wastewater industry have a long history around the world. By Submersible Wastewater Pump Association O riginally used in Europe, submersible wastewater pumps were first seen in the U.S. market in the mid-1950s. They became popular in the early 1960s when a guide rail system was developed to lift pumps out of well pits for easy maintenance and repair.
Submersible pumps are also widely used to handle suspended solids effectively and efficiently.
The submersible solids handling sewage pump operates under water. The pump is efficient, quiet in operation, safe to install, and performs long and reliably. The submersible wastewater pump is used primarily for wet-pit sewage lift stations and for industrial sump or process effluent applications. A common use for small pumps is to move effluent from tank to disposal in septic tank systems. Large and small units are used in a variety of ways in the home, farm, motel, school, marine, commercial building, industrial plant, and municipal sewage and stormwater systems.
