Smith & Loveless highlights the EVERLAST Series 1000 Pump Station, an above-ground wastewater pump station that continues the S&L hallmark of high efficiency, long service life, operator ease and safety, and low operation and maintenance costs. The EV Series 1000 pump station comes as a complete, factory-built, and tested system that is fast and simple to install in both new installations and replacements of submersible pumps. This basic, state-of-the-art packaged pump station incorporates premium efficiency motors designed for wastewater, resulting in reduced energy consumption costs and a smaller carbon footprint.

Unlike submersible pump stations, all mechanical equipment is safely located and easily accessible above ground and outside the wet well, eliminating confined-space hazards during routine maintenance and operation. The EV Series 1000 features a tip-up hood, allowing for easy and immediate access to all mechanical and electrical components.

The cost savings for maintenance and operation are proven and well-documented. For example, a Kansas municipality conducted a study of the repair and maintenance costs of 32 S&L above-ground pump stations compared to 21 submersible pump stations in the same sewerage network over a period of 12 years. The results showed that the S&L pump stations had nearly 56% lower operating expenses, resulting in maintenance and parts savings of $2,750 per station per year.

The EV Series 1000 pump station is equipped with S&L STAR ONE Non-Clog Pumps, which are centrifugal solids-handling pumps that last three to five times longer than a typical submersible pump. These pumps also offer higher efficiencies across the range of pumping conditions. For extra trash-filled applications, the mono-port X-PELLER impeller is designed to pass through flushable and heavy ragging and stringy material.

The EV 1000 also features standard relay logic controls. Easy to operate and repair, relay logic — with float switch level controls — is a base control system made for operators. Optional RapidJack check valves eliminate the need for time-consuming valve disassembly and interim piping realignment and are easily accessed by removing just four bolts. Another popular option is the DURO-LAST 316/Lean Duplex Series 2100 stainless steel baseplate which comes with a 25-year warranty, the highest level of protection available in the industry.
