We’re glad to offer our latest innovation for solving pump-related challenges faster and more efficiently! We now stock the complete, simple system for replacing all internal parts on a pump station. The kit consists of a pre-assembled set of parts ready to install into a pump chamber, including all pipework, valves and fittings. It can be used for any twin pump station for sewage or storm water, up to a depth of three metres. Making pump station refurbishments faster and
