Hybrid Lifting Station Ecolift M

The Ecolift M functions as a hybrid lifting station that pumps only when it is really necessary – in the event of backwater. Otherwise, the Ecolift M simply makes use of the natural gradient to the sewer. This saves energy. Since it only rarely runs, it also does not need as much maintenance. It is also more reliable because it works without any power as it makes use of the gradient – unlike conventional lifting stations.

The Ecolift M is available in the nominal sizes DN 100 (Ø 110 mm), DN 125 (Ø 125 mm), DN 150 (Ø 160 mm) and DN 200 (Ø 200 mm) as well as for installation in an exposed drainage pipe or floor slab. The latter version is optionally available with a black or tileable cover.

The Ecolift M for floor slab installation helps to prevent radon from entering buildings. The hybrid lifting station has been tested and certified as radon-proof.

The system can also be installed in waterproof concrete by using an extension piece with a central flange and an elastomer waterproofing membrane. The integrated drainage function ensures that any surface water that arises, for example due to a pipe break, will be pumped into the sewer despite there being backwater.

The Ecolift M features a plug-in ready Comfort control unit with the self-diagnosis system SDS, a display for showing the operating status and maintenance information as well as a connection option for centralised control systems.

The Ecolift M's energy consumption is 90% lower compared to conventional lifting stations and, at the same time, higher operational reliability is also convincing for sustainability experts: At the DGNB Sustainability Challenge, the annual prize competition run by the German Society for Sustainable Building, our hybrid lifting station was ranked among the top 3 product and service innovations of the year.

The Ecolift hybrid lifting unit is the ideal solution for detached houses that require reliable and efficient wastewater disposal. Whether for installation in the open wastewater pipe or directly in the floor slab, this innovative system utilises the natural gradient to the sewer to transport the wastewater in an environmentally friendly way.
