PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
ALL WORK MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A REGISTERED DRAINLAYER AND MUST
COMPLY WITH THE PLUMBING REGULATIONS AND CODES OF PRACTICE
1. Each FASTFLO Pump Station installation should be done in accordance with local Territorial Authority
requirements.
2. All discharge pipework bends should be large radius type (formed swept bends).
3. Keep pipe runs to discharge as direct as possible and keep number of bends to a minimum for smooth
liquid flow.
4. Minimum discharge pipe diameters as follows:
Vortex & Cutter pumps: 50mm I.D.
Grinder pumps: 40mm I.D.
For longer pipe runs, consult with Fastflo Pump Systems.
5. Check that all pump leads, chains, high level floats, etc, are free of obstructions, and that high level floats
are not below sewer inlet drains.
6. PUMP STATION VENTING: Refer separate vent requirement details.
7. Once installed, tank must be left with enough water in it to avoid any risk of flotation caused by heavy
rainfall or unpredicted water entry. This also applies if tank installation is left uncompleted temporarily, as
well as when unit is fully installed.
8. Make sure there is no chance of any stormwater entry, e.g. entry from unfinished downpipes or any
rainwater/drainway runoff.
9. Once unit is installed, never leave lid(s) unbolted or unpadlocked at any time, to avoid serious or fatal injury.
