How to set up an infiltration system with a pump well
Sometimes it is necessary and beneficial to complement the drainage solution with a pump. Slope conditions, water sources or
proximity to a lake may be the reason – as well as less suitable soils.
This type of infiltration system offers several advantages:
Freedom to choose the location of the infiltration bed on the plot, better utilization of the same and lower excavation costs.
It will also be easier to achieve the necessary level above the groundwater surface.
The principle of pumped infiltration is simple. The wastewater is first treated in the sludge separator, where floating sludge and bottom sludge are retained.
Gravity then carries the wastewater to the pump well. The pump then moves the wastewater on for final treatment in the
infiltration or soil bed facility. The transfer line between the pump pit and the spreader pipes is best done with PEM pipes in
dimension 32 alt. 40 mm.
The pump then transfers the wastewater for final treatment in the infiltration or soil bed facility, either through traditional gravity infiltration or pressure infiltration.
In pressure infiltration, the wastewater is distributed to the infiltration bed through perforated pressure distribution pipes. By pressurizing the
system, the water is distributed evenly over the bed, reducing the risk of uneven loading.
