Sewage pump sales and pump selection

Alton Pumps can help specify and supply sewage pumps for foul water systems, wastewater applications, package pumping stations, basement pump systems and replacement pump projects.

Replacement pumps matched to site duty

Where an existing sewage pump has failed, we can review the make, model, duty, outlet size, phase, float arrangement and control panel compatibility to identify a suitable replacement.

Support for leading sewage pump brands

Pump supply support covers major manufacturers including Grundfos, Flygt, Wilo, Lowara, KSB, Homa, ABS/Sulzer, Pedrollo, DAB and Zoeller, with advice on practical installation and servicing requirements.

Fault finding and self-help

Common symptoms, safe checks and likely causes

Use this page when a pump needs to be specified, replaced or upgraded rather than repaired. Correct pump selection depends on duty, head, flow, solids handling, power supply and the existing chamber or pipework.

Replacing an existing sewage pump

What you may notice

  • Old pump has failed or become unreliable
  • Existing model is obsolete
  • Pump runs but does not move enough flow

Safe checks before calling

  • Look for the make, model and serial plate without entering the chamber
  • Take photos of the pump outlet, guide rails, control panel and float setup
  • Note whether the system is single phase or three phase if visible on the panel

Possible causes

  • Incorrect replacement duty
  • Worn impeller or motor
  • Blocked or restricted discharge pipework
  • Age-related pump failure

New sewage pump selection

What you may notice

  • New chamber, basement, package pump station or foul water discharge required
  • Need help choosing grinder, vortex, cutter or solids-handling pump

Safe checks before calling

  • Confirm what the pump is moving: foul sewage, grey water, drainage water or trade wastewater
  • Check approximate vertical lift and discharge distance if known
  • Send drawings or chamber dimensions where available

Possible causes

  • Pump undersized for head or distance
  • Wrong impeller type for solids
  • Control panel or float requirements not allowed for
