The Wet Well Mounted Pump Station (WWMPS) by Smith & Loveless offers many distinct advantages over submersibles, including significant savings in operating costs as demonstrated below.
Proven Savings:
Actual 6-Year Cost Comparison (Published Study)
The progressive Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kan., operates numerous wastewater pump staions in its sewage network, including 22 duplex Smith & Loveless vacuum primed WWMPS and 20 duplex submersible stations. For each station (all with flow conditions of less than 1,000 GPM per pump and 50,000 GPD), the Unified Government keeps detailed records of all repair and maintenance work orders and costs.
As Figure 1 demonstrates at right, a comparitive study reveals that the Unified Government spent 53% less money over six years (2002-2008) on the 22 S&L pump stations compared to the 20 submersibles, an astounding differential of more than $225,000!
The complete study measures and compares labor hours and costs, outside contractor expense, material costs and total expenditure. In all, the results overwhelmingly favor the S&L Wet Well Mounted Pump Station approach with the thousands of dollars saved annually in maintenance and repairs.
