Smith & Loveless (Lenexa, Kan.) has shipped its first Everlast wet well mounted pump station. The above-grade station is mounted outside of and above the wet well, which helps to make operator maintenance safer, simpler and more economical.

Everlast pump stations include a stainless-steel baseplate.Employees at lift stations in Perryville, Mo., (interviewed in this video) say the above-ground wet well mounted pump stations avoid the need to deal with the hazards inherent when working in-ground in the wastewater environment. Also, when working with submersible pumps, maintenance technicians occasionally damage other components in the lift station, leading to additional downtime.

Everlast pump stations include a stainless-steel baseplate, touchscreen station controls, non-clog impeller and check valve that the company says may be cleaned quickly. Stations use 4- to 6-in. pumps and piping and provide power ratings from 1.5 to 50 H, pumping capacity to 1300 gal./min. and total dynamic head (TDH) to 158 ft.
