The Biotube® Pump Vault comes with Biotube® filter cartridge, float stem bracket, and support pipes. The unique Biotube® filter cartridge provides a large filter surface area in a small space, to resist clogging while providing maximum long-term protection 

Applications

Biotube® Pump Vaults are ideal for filtering and transporting effluent from septic tanks or separate dosing tanks in effluent pumping systems. They prevent large solids from leaving the tank, dramatically improving wastewater quality and extending the life of downstream treatment systems. Each pump vault houses either one (Simplex) or two (Duplex) High Head Effluent Pumps, discharge assembly(ies), Biotube® filter cartridge, float switch assembly, and float stem bracket. Pump(s), float switch assembly, and discharge assembly(ies) are ordered separately.

Biotube® Filtering Process

Effluent from the relatively clear zone of the septic tank, between the scum and sludge layers, enters the Biotube® Pump Vault through inlet holes in the housing. Effluent then enters the annular space between the housing and the Biotube®, utilising the Biotube’s entire surface for filtering. Particles larger than the Biotube®’s mesh are prevented from leaving the tank.
