Smith & Loveless - Recessed Wet Well Mounted Pump Station
The Smith & Loveless Recessed Wet Well Mounted Pump Station combines the benefits of the Classic WWMPS with those of conventional buried stations. The station`s recessed profile insulates the station equipment, ideal for colder climates. The equipment chamber houses the pumps and mechanical components in a regularly ventilated environment that is safe and comfortable for the operator. This design also allows for pumping from deeper gravity mains for wider pumping head applications.

- TDH: Up to 255’ (73 m)
- Pre-assembled and performance-certified in superior testing facility
- Low Profile at grade level
- Allows for deeper wet wells and suction-lift
- 2- and 3-pump configurations
- Complete array of control options
Smith & Loveless offers three different control system options for the Recessed Wet Well Mounted Pump Station:
- PROTRONIX II (PLC-based)
- PumpLogix Pump Controller (Microprocessor-based)
- Relay Logic
These control systems are programmed, tested prior to shipment and operational upon start-up. Individual running time meters and a high water alarm with silent switch are standard.
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.
