Sewage Pump Chamber Service – Drymen, Stirlingshire

Sewage pump chamber service Drymen carried out as a routine visit for an existing client. The installation comprises 2 × Vortex F 50.75.1M pumps running at 230 V (both steady at 6 A under load), 4 floats (stop, start, assist, high-level) and a pumping control panel with duty selector/alternation and high-level alarm circuit. Today’s service verified mechanical condition, electrical performance and alarm functionality end-to-end.

✅ What we checked and proved

  • Pump lift-out & inspection: Impellers checked for wear/debris, volutes inspected, cable & glands visually checked.
  • Electrical readings: Each Vortex F 50.75.1M confirmed at 6 A on a stable 230 V supply; starts/stops clean under load.
  • Float sequence test: Stop → Start → Assist → High-level proven; correct switching logic and alternation confirmed.
  • Control panel: Duty/assist alternation tested; duty selector working; indicators sound/visual checked.
  • High-level alarm: Simulated, sounder/beacon proved, reset verified.
  • Non-return valves: Exercised and inspected for sealing to prevent backflow.
  • Hydraulics & chamber: Chamber flushed to confirm free flow; breather and cable entries inspected for ingress/obstruction.
  • General condition: Fasteners, guide rails, lifting points and labels checked; service report issued with readings.

Result: Both pumps are operating within spec, floats and alarms are reliable, and the chamber is ready for service with duty/assist protection in place.

🛠 Why routine servicing matters

Pump chambers fail for predictable reasons: seized impellers, tired floats, stuck NRVs, and neglected control panels. Routine servicing catches these early, keeps duty/assist alternation working, and ensures the high-level alarm will trigger if needed — reducing downtime and call-outs.
