FORMULA X - Wet Well Mounted Pump Station
The FORMULA X Wet Well Mounted Pump Station embodies the Smith & Loveless design philosophy of pump station excellence. The combination of proven S&L pumps and advanced, factory-built technology demonstrates why the station sets industry standards. It`s armed with an array of standard components and features, delivering superior convenience and automation throughout the station. Exclusive features include easy-roll, split enclosure, standard piping arrangements, and an enhanced FORMULA X Warranty that provides up to 10 years coverage on specified items
Multiple control options include PROTRONIX II advanced PLC control, Pump LogixTM, and relay logic.
Read how S&L Wet Well Mounted Pump Stations save municipalities more than 50% annually on repairs and maintenance, proven from a six year comparison study!
- Sizing: 4" - 6" pumps (100 - 150mm)
- Horsepower: 1.5 to 50 HP
- Capacity: Up to 1,300 GPM (82 lps)
- TDH: Up to 155` (48m)
- Higher pump efficiencies than submersibles and self-priming pumps
- With less parts & confined space hassles matched with durable pumps, owners reap significant life-cycle cost savings over alternative submersibles
- New field-tested Sonic Start StreamlineTM vacuum priming system virtually eliminates all routine maintenance
- All station equipment mounts above the wet well for safe inspection and access at ground level
- Manufactured and tested in a factory-controlled environment prior to shipment, minimizing field labor and assembly problems
- Duplex pumping systems with built-in, fail-safe components
- Equipped with operator selectable constant prime / prime on-demand primary system
- Lower installed costs because completed station sets upon the wet well; simply hook up the power, suction and discharge piping; backfill; and start the pump station. It’s that easy.
- Each pump’s front head is bolted to the station base with a simple, gas-tight adapter, allowing the suction pipe connection to be pulled up through the base without having to enter the wet well
- 1/2” thick heavy-duty base provides long-term durability, stability, strength and pump support
- XTRATHANE coating system on the top of the base, piping and pumps is UV resistant and protects the station’s appearance, giving the entire station a shine that keeps it looking good year in and year out
- Abrasion-resistant 6-8 mil thick XTRAGUARD™ coating weighs in with powerful additional protection for the bottom of the base
- Split, aluminum wet well access cover allows one side to be opened, providing a stable platform when making wet well observations
- Control Panel is a NEMA Type 4 steel enclosure with hinged, lockable doors
- All of the components within the control panel are UL listed or recognized
Smith & Loveless offers three different control system options for the FORMULA X Wet Well Mounted Pump Station:
- PROTRONIX II (PLC-based)
- PumpLogix Pump Controller (Microprocessor-based)
- Relay Logic
The FORMULA X Control Panel is a NEMA Type 4 steel enclosure with hinged, lockable doors. It sets high industry standards as all of the components within the control panel are UL listed or recognized. The complete station control panel is available with an optional UL 508 certification label. A stainless steel NEMA 4X enclosure is also available.
As the name implies, Wet Well Mounted Pump Stations position on top of the wet well and use suction-lift to prime and pump for wet well depths reaching 20 feet. Smith & Loveless calls this vacuum-priming.
The Smith & Loveless Vacuum Priming System is a simple, proven process that includes just three basic components: (1) a Sonic Start Streamline™ prime sensor, (2) a solenoid valve and (3) a vacuum pump. From a totally non-primed condition, the system primes the pump in about sixty (60) seconds under standard rated conditions. Once the Smith & Loveless Pump is primed, it is designed to stay primed indefinitely.
Employing frequency modulation, the Sonic Start Streamline™ prime sensing replaces the traditional S&L electrode. Because it is not prone to foul in applications with excessive grease or chemicals, Sonic Start Streamline™ eliminates all traditional routine maintenance tasks associated with vacuum-priming and delivers the world’s most hassle-free wastewater pumping.
Another exciting new feature is CONSTANT PRIME™. This optional control setting continually senses whether or not the pump is primed. If loss of prime occurs, the vacuum-prime sequence will activate to maintain prime. This ensures instant pump start-up when the pump is called to run.
- Sleek, split enclosure for convenient access to station and controls
- Natural, green tone fiberglass with improved UV resistance properties
- Simple enclosure removal within seconds without the use of tools or hoisting equipment
