The Alpha V septic tank pump, thanks to its compact size and excellent mechanical properties, is ideal for pumping domestic wastewater.
Characteristics
The main components are made of GG20 cast iron. In the standard configuration, the lip seal is installed on the motor side, while the mechanical seal is installed on the impeller side. The “EVO” version of the pump features a double mechanical seal located in the oil chamber.
Advantages of Alpha V pumps
The Alpha V septic tank pump is an ideal solution for those looking for a professional product for use at home or in a small business. The Alpha V pump’s specifications provide an alternative to pumps with a macerator, which often becomes clogged and causes operating difficulties for the user. The free passage beneath the impeller for contaminants up to 40 mm in size ensures long-term operation without the need for intervention. Open six-blade Vortex impellers handle even fibrous wastewater contents perfectly, whereas macerators act like winding machines. Macerator blades quickly become blunt in wastewater, acting like wedges and blocking the pump. Wastewater pumps with free passage beneath the impeller are free from these disadvantages. The impeller’s thick walls are sufficient for many years of operation in raw domestic wastewater. When selecting a pump, check the specifications of the available pipeline, as the discharge pipe diameter or the terrain’s geometry may sometimes require a higher-power unit.
Control
Alpha V is available in four versions combining single- and three-phase power supplies with control by an integrated float switch or an external signal. To control septic tank pumps (except versions with an integrated float switch), we recommend the simple M121 (230 V) or M131 (400 V) controllers. For more demanding users and dual-pump pumping stations, we offer professional power and control panels with relay-contactor and microprocessor control.
Possible applications
With a suitable hose connection, it becomes a lightweight portable pump for drainage and for handling liquids containing high levels of solids (gravel, sand, debris). The Alpha V septic tank pump can easily water a garden with rainwater, drain a flooded garage or basement, and pump water from a pond or ditch into another tank. Alpha V has stable feet extending from the pump body, allowing it to stand on level ground while providing sufficient clearance beneath the body for water intake.
Like every DRENO wastewater pump, it comes standard with a 10-meter power cable. All Alpha V pumps have a vertical outlet and therefore are not compatible with coupling feet such as the EASY.
