Zoeller’s Home-Guard MAX system is a high capacity, high efficiency water powered back-up system. With no
electricity or batteries required, the Home Guard MAX takes over seamlessly
when your primary sump system fails. The Home Guard MAX comes fully assembled
for fast, easy and trouble-free installations and its small footprint allows
for installation in even the smallest sump pits. With superior performance and
discharge capacity, it uses less water and costs less to operate. When
installed as a back-up system, it does not use any water until the primary
system malfunctions or in the case of power failure. Water flow is equivalent
to a normal faucet and is required only when the Home Guard MAX is operating.
Not intended for use as a primary water removal unit. www.zoeller.com
Elevator Sump Pump System Liberty Pumps
The new ELV-Series sump pumps from Liberty are designed and
approved for safe operation of pumping, alarming and monitoring of elevator
sump pits, transformer vaults and other applications where oil and water must
be detected. Featuring the unique OilTector™ control, the system will activate
the pump to remove water from the pit in accordance with ASME17.1. The
OilTector stops the pump before oil or other harmful substances are discharged.
Alarms for both high water and high oil are integral to the system. A remote
mount alarm is included and features auxiliary contacts for connection to a
building automation system or SCADA system. Systems are available with 1/3 and

Flood-Guard® General Pipe Cleaners

| Flood-Guard from General
Pipe Cleaners. |
|
Prevent basement flooding
and messy floors with the Flood-Guard from General Pipe Cleaners. Available for
2-, 3- and 4-inch floor drains, the Flood-Guard operates like a check valve to
seal off water backup caused by overloaded sewers. Water flows normally through
the drain until the sewer begins to back up. Then the Flood-Guard float rises to
seal off the drain opening until the water recedes. A screwdriver and a couple
of minutes are all you need to install the Flood-Guard. Once in place, it can
prevent property damage and a very messy clean-up job. The Flood-Guard is also
available in a stand pipe model for handling extreme, extended pressure. www.drainbrain.com/specialties
Effective Solids Handling Yeomans Chicago Corp.
A common problem in the design
of sewage and wastewater pumping systems is the effective handling of large
solids for low-flow high head applications. In order to meet the necessary pump
output requirements, the ability to handle large solids is often sacrificed in
the pump hydraulic design. Yeomans Chicago Corp. has solved this dilemma with
the introduction of its new Model 412.53SV submersible solids-handling pump.
The pump utilizes a single-vane impeller that is trimmable to meet the specific
duty rating necessary for each application. The impeller will also pass full 3-inch
spherical solids to meet the preferred specification requirements of today’s
sewage pumping industry. The pump’s capacity range is 100 to 1,100 gpm and it
produces discharge pressure up to 175 feet TDH. www.yccpump.com
