Sewage Pumping Station and BioDisc Service – Strathblane

Today we were out in Strathblane carrying out essential servicing on a large raw sewage pumping station and a Klargester BL/NL BioDisc. These systems play a crucial role in rural and off-grid wastewater management. Without routine maintenance, the consequences can be severe – including raw sewage backing up into your property.

Why Sewage Pumping Station Servicing Matters

Homes and businesses in Strathblane and surrounding areas that rely on sewage pumping stations must ensure they are maintained regularly. Pump failure can quickly lead to flooding, property damage, and environmental hazards.

Here’s what our service includes:

• Float Switch Cleaning: Fat and debris can coat float switches, causing them to stick or fail entirely. We clean and test each switch to ensure they function properly.
• Non-Return Valve Testing: These valves prevent backflow. If they fail, sewage can re-enter the chamber or even your home. We manually test each one for full operation.
• Pump Inspection: We remove any obstructions from the pumps and check impeller movement and performance.
• High-Level Alarm & Electronics: We simulate high-level conditions to verify alarms, control panels, and telemetry systems are operating correctly.

Failure to maintain a pumping station in Strathblane can lead to raw sewage backing up into your property – don’t wait for a flood to find out something’s wrong.

Klargester BioDisc BL/NL – Full Service Walkthrough

The BioDisc is a trusted system in rural areas like Strathblane, but it’s mechanical – and like any machine, it needs regular attention to stay reliable. Here’s what we do during a standard service:

• Recycle Pump: We remove the pump and check for blockages. Blocked lines can prevent treated effluent from returning to the primary stage, affecting overall performance.
• Clamp Tightness: All clamps securing the rotor, lid, and covers are inspected and tightened as needed.
• Bearing Inspection: We remove the bearing housing covers and inspect the inside of the bearings for wear or water ingress. Bearings are then regreased with high-performance waterproof grease.
• Grease Cartridges: Automatic cartridges are checked and replaced if empty or malfunctioning.
• Loss of Rotation Alarm: The alarm is triggered and tested to ensure it detects belt or rotor failure correctly.
• Electronics & Control Panel: All fuses, relays, and timers are checked. Where necessary, we clean or replace corroded terminals and reconnect loose cables.

With proper maintenance, your Klargester BioDisc will continue to deliver effective wastewater treatment for decades. It’s a low-maintenance system – but not a no-maintenance one.
