The premium backwater pumping station for faecal and non-faecal wastewater is equipped with a pump and a motor-driven closure system. The pipe cross-section is normally open. In case of backwater, the motor-driven closure system is closed automatically. During the backwater phase, the water drains via the pump with integrated macerator. The station is controlled by a user-friendly control unit, which is optionally integrated in the building management system via a potential-free contact, or alarm and collective fault messages can be output via a GSM interface.
