Delivering the Most Efficient and Longest-Lasting Packaged Wastewater Pump Stations

Smith & Loveless Inc.’s factory-built and tested above-ground wastewater pump stations and sewage lift stations deliver end-users and operators the benefits of robust construction, operator-safe maintenance, and single-source reliability. The result is efficient lift station performance, long service life and realized life-cycle cost savings—verified by decades of successful installations and leading warranty protection.

S&L packaged pumping stations arrive pre-assembled with all equipment installed on a common base and a quick-access enclosure, allowing quick and easy installation on the wet well after basic suction pipe and electrical connections were completed. Our unique pump station solutions offer our engineering and end-user partners a strong alternative to conventional lift station approaches. Our proprietary EVERLAST Above-Ground Pump Stations offer the industry’s most operator safe and easiest pump station to maintain — everything is above the wet well and inspection of the complete pump station can be accomplished in mere seconds, eliminating all of the confined space hassles and costs associated with pulling sewage-coated submersible pumps from the wet well and accessing confined space valve vaults. Additionally, S&L innovated the original factory-built pump station concept with our Custom Series and CAPSULAR Pump Stations with Safe-Stair access, designed for deeper bury and safe, continuous human occupancy. These pumping systems stand as cost-saving alternatives to concrete, built-in-place underground pump stations.

Powering S&L lift stations are proprietary STAR ONE™ Non-Clog Pumps, each designed to meet the 10 States Standard for passing three-inch (3”) solids. These pumps— with their exclusive oversized stainless-steel pump shafts, oversized bearings, and bronze seal housings— deliver the industry’s longest service life and high efficiencies for solids-handling pumps. The pumps’ larger shaft diameter provides increased rigidity, while its stainless-steel composition eliminates the possibility of rusting, one of the leading causes of eventual pump failure for wastewater solids handling pumps.
