Smith & Loveless - Model R<sub>2</sub> -Wet Well Mounted Pump Station
Smith & Loveless delivers even more effective work space per total area in the new R2 Wet Well Mounted Pump Station (R2 WWMPS). R2 = Rectangular x Recessed, and it`s this combination that equates to streamlined station arrangements and significantly more room inside than circular designs. Being recessed yet still with grade level access, the station maintains a low profile, earth insulation for colder climates and the ability to service deeper wet wells. This next generation WWMPS design offers all of the great benefits you`ve come to expect from a duplex Smith & Loveless vacuum prime pump station plus several new features like highly efficient S&L Pumps with SONIC START® prime sensing, standardized piping layouts, and a complete array of control options (including PLC and relay logic).
- Sizing: 4" - 6" pumps (100 - 150 mm)
- Horsepower: 1.5 to 60 HP
- Capacity: Up to 1,300 GPM (82 lps)
- TDH: Up to 155` (48 m)
- Designed for continuous human occupancy to avoid OSHA permit required confined space requirements
- Pre-assembled and performance-certified in superior testing facility
- Low Profile at grade level
- Two independent covers for station each with hood lift assists
- Large 36” integral wet well access
- Baseplate thickness increased to ¾” for more rigidity and deflection resistance
- Built-in shelves allow for O&M & tool storage
- All internal clearances meet or exceed NEC requirements. Wiring conducted via wireway
- Complete array of control options
Smith & Loveless offers three different control system options for the R2 Wet Well Mounted Pump Station:
- PROTRONIX II (PLC-based)
- PumpLogix P Series (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.
