The Harlequin 1550L Sewage Pump Station is suitable for pumping sewage from a property to either a mains sewer connection, sewage treatment plant or septic tank. This chamber can also be used for pumping final stage effluent from a sewage treatment plant to a watercourse (subject to obtaining EA permits).
Harlequin pump chambers are manufactured from rotationally molded polyethene making them stronger and easier to handle than some of the GRP alternatives.

What is a sewage pumping station and how does it work?
A pumping station is made up of a large tank, known as a wet well, that acts as the receiver for sewage from a building or a group of buildings. Sewage from individual houses flows into the wet well.
The sewage will then sit in the well until it reaches a predetermined level. Once it reaches this level, a pump will kick in to pressurise the sewage so that it will travel out of the wet well, uphill, to a point where it enters the main sewer, or that it can then travel into the main sewer using gravity.
Advantages of a Sewage Pump Station
- A pump station offers convenience when installing a sewage system, and has the potential of cutting construction costs.
- Pump stations are fitted with remote monitoring systems, which keep operators updated.
- Sewage is pumped automatically without any human contact, which eliminates the risk of health problems.
- Different sizes of pumps are available for domestic applications and commercial applications.
- The intake of the pumps is often wide to prevent blocking.
- Sewage pumping systems are fitted with alarms to alert you to problems with the system. This minimises the risk of sewage overflowing as you are alerted quickly.
What is a Grinder Pump?
Waste from water-using household appliances (toilets, bathrooms, washing machines etc.) flows through the home’s pipes into the grinder pump’s holding tank. Once the wastewater inside the tank reaches a specific level, the pump will turn on, grind the waste into a fine slurry, and pump it on to its next destination.
