Design The grey water lifting unit consists of a stable collecting tank (2) with integrated
submersible motor pump (5), inlet line connection (3) and discharge line connection
(1).
Function The fluid to be handled flows into the grey water lifting unit through an inlet line
connection (3) and is collected in an odour-tight and water-tight collecting tank (2).
When a specified fluid level is reached, the float switch (4) triggers the automatic
start of the submersible motor pump (5). The fluid handled is pumped through the
discharge line connection (1) to a level above the flood level and discharged into the
public sewer.
