IMPORTANT NOTES
"Pump Well" is a generic term for any vessel intended to temporarily store liquid before it is transferred by means
of a pump to another location, perhaps for processing or long-term storage. The EVERHARD
Polymer Pump
Well
has been tested and found to comply with the Australian/New Zealand standard for vessels such as Septic
Tanks and Collection Wells for use in domestic, and some other, situations.
It may be used to receive treated wastewater from a Septic tank for pumped discharge to a disposal area, or in
applications where site conditions dictate that short-
term accumulations of “All-waste”, “Black-water” and/or
“Greywater” (defined by AS/NZS 1546.1) wastes must be delivered to a treatment system by a suitable pump
instead of free-flowing under gravity direct from the source.
Installers MUST check with your local authority to ensure that this pump well and usage will be permitted
in your area before beginning plans for any installation.
The EVERHARD Pumpwell was designed for on-site treatment and disposal applications. It is tested for
Standards Mark approval and does
not
carry WaterMark certification. Connection to sewer systems, and
installation in sewered properties, may not be permitted by local authorities.
The EVERHARD
250/450L Plastic Pump Well
has a number of features which make it an obvious choice for
many installations. It is light and easily handled and worked with, while also being durable and tough. Produced
from a blend of polymer that has been stabilised against ultra-violet light degradation, its physical characteristics
allow the product to exceed the required performance criteria for the applicable tests in AS/NZS 1546.1.
In testing for resistance to lateral load, a critical part of the standard, the EVERHARD
Polymer Pump Well
was
subjected to side loading equivalent to the vessel being completely buried, a situation which a correctly installed
unit should never encounter. The
Polymer Pump Well
remained intact and suffered no permanent damage
whatsoever, despite extended exposure to the test load.
EVERHARD
Polymer Pump Wells
are ideally matched for use with the range of EVERHARD
Polymer Septic
Tanks
and
Collection Wells
, all produced in accordance with AS/NZS 1546.1. Other products available for
domestic wastewater applications include the popular EVERHARD
Xtra-treat
Filter which can be quickly and
easily fitted into the Outlet Fitting inside most Septic Tanks. These help prevent the discharge of solid particles
suspended in the treated fluid. An
Xtratreat
Filter can greatly extend the service life of the disposal system. The
EVERHARD range of disposal system equipment also includes effluent Distribution Boxes in Concrete and in
durable, tough Polymers. These complement the cost-effective and very efficient Polymer
EVERTRENCH
Trench
Liner for use in Evapo-Transpiration and Soakage treated waste-water disposal systems.
