Dry Pit Solids Handling Pumps for Tough Pumping Challenges

When it comes to moving wastewater or effluent that is laden with solids, you need a pump that can handle the mess without missing a beat. Enter dry pit solids handling pumps from Pentair.

What Are Dry Pit Solids Handling Pumps?

Dry pit solids handling pumps use centrifugal force paired with a larger internal chamber to move along wastewater solids. They are installed in a dry location adjacent to the wet pit, meaning they're not submerged like other industrial water pumps. The powerful motor can efficiently handle everything from rags to debris to sewage.

What Are the Benefits of Dry Pit Solids Handling Pumps?

A solids pump is excellent for handling wastewater, bringing you:

  • Continuous operation: Unlike pumps in wet applications that turn off once water levels drop, dry pumps keep running
  • Powerful, energy-efficient motor: Solids pumps with a premium efficient motor are highly energy-efficient, saving you on utilities
  • Easy to maintain: These pumps are built on a pedestal within the pit making them easier to service

Common Applications for Dry Pit Solids Handling Pumps

You can use dry pit solids handling pumps for a variety of demanding tasks, including:

  • Municipal wastewater treatment: Transferring raw sewage and effluent within treatment plants
  • Industrial process water: Pumping wastewater containing solids from industrial processes
  • Lift stations: Transferring wastewater from low-lying areas to higher elevations in municipal sewer systems

Don't let solid-laden water slow you down. Choose a dry solids pump to move all your fluids with ease.
