FEKAFOS range automatic lifting stations are suitable for collecting and lifting clear, rain and waste water from washing machines, sinks and WCs in systems installed at a lower level than the sewer, in locations such as garages or basements. Models are compact and easy to install.

They are ideal for homes and other residential properties. The FEKAFOS is designed for use with one or two (double models) non-automatic singlephase or three-phase pumps without float switch, which must be ordered separately together with the control panel.

Fekafos 280 includes a polypropylene pipe kit instead of galvanized iron to solve any corrosion problems that may arise (the pipe kit is also available separately for the old Fekafos 280 models).

What is a submersible pump?

A submersible pump is designed to operate fully submerged in the liquid it is moving. The motor is sealed inside the pump body and cooled by the surrounding water. Submersibles are used for drainage, sewage, septic tanks, deep wells and boreholes, and for raising water from sumps, cellars and floodwater. Many stocked at Anglian Pumping handle solids in suspension.

Can submersible pumps handle solids and sewage?

Yes – some submersibles are designed for clean water only, others handle solids up to 50 mm or full raw sewage. Anglian Pumping stocks ABS, BBC, Flygt and T-T Submersibles ranges that include vortex, single channel and grinder impellers for different solids handling requirements. Always match the pump to the maximum solid size and the type of effluent it will see.

When should I use a submersible pump instead of a surface pump?

Use a submersible when the water level is more than around 8 metres below the pump installation point – surface pumps cannot self-prime beyond that depth. Submersibles are also better when the liquid contains solids, when noise must be minimised, or when the pump needs to operate in confined spaces such as sumps and chambers where a surface pump would not fit.
