2.1 Application / Installation

The Aqualift F Pumpstation is designed to automatically pump
wastewater (with or without sewage collected below the out-
going sewer level) according to the requirement of DIN 1986
into a septic system or public sewer piping. This system is only
for use with wastewater draining from single and multi-family
homes, commercial buildings, hotels, restaurants, hospitals,
schools or similar buildings. In circumstances where the inter-
ruption of wastewater flow is not allowed or desired, a twin
pump system (Pumpstation Aqualift F Duo) is required in which
the second pump will activate during times of heavy flow or if
the second pump is not operating for any reason.
The KESSEL Pumpstation Aqualift F is designed for outdoor /
underground installation. Pumps are equipped with macerating
blades which cut all soft objects into smaller pumpable pieces.
Due to the cutting blades, outlet pipes of DN 40 or larger may
be connected to the outlet of the Pumpstation
Aqualift F. Objects in the wastewater which could damage or
cause wear and tear on the cutting / macerating blades should
not come in contact with the pumps. The system is designed
to handle continuous wastewater temperatures up to 40 deg C
(104 deg F).
