Break Free of Pump Station Status Quo

The Smith & Loveless FORMULA X® Wet Well Mounted Pump Station is not afraid to break free of pump station status quo in order to create an even more operator-friendly station. The moment you see the sleek easy-roll split station enclosure, the innovation is evident. There is a well thought out purpose for every component on the station.

Rounded edges channel rainwater away from the station. A purposeful rolling 2-piece enclosure, heavy-duty base protection, and a versatile manway entrance add up to a pump station an operator will appreciate even more. Especially when 360-degree access to the pumps, piping and controls is desired even with the station still in operation.

Sleek, Easy-Roll Enclosure

Totally updated, the easy-roll split station enclosure is the first clue of the FORMULA X® design changes. With even more easy operator access to the pumps and controls, the new split enclosure features:

  • Natural green tone fiberglass with improved UV resistance properties.

  • Convenient unlatch/latch entry and open mechanism per enclosure section.

  • Sleek split enclosure for convenient half-opening access to station and controls.

  • Smooth enclosure opening utilizing polyurethane easy-roll wheels with solid stainless steel axles and anodized aluminum track for low friction enclosure opening and closing — no lubrication required.

  • Simple lid removal uses convenient recessed handles to remove each half within seconds, without the use of tools or hoisting equipment. This provides 360-degree access to motors, pumps and controls.

  • “No-lift” enclosure design will meet OSHA’s maximum available lift requirements for the foreseeable future.

Heavy-Duty Base Just Got Even Tougher

Formula X BaseThe FORMULA X® base is even tougher than before. This rugged base features:

  • Heavy-duty base (increased 33 percent to ½" thick) adds not only long-term durability, but also improved stability, strength and pump support.

  • Proven Smith & Loveless VERSAPOX® epoxy coating uniformly covers the entire base, providing excellent protection of the base environment.

  • Abrasion resistant 6-8 mil thick XTRAGUARD™ epoxy coating weighs in with powerful additional protection of the bottom of the base from the wet well environment.

  • XTRATHANE™ additionally protects the top of the base from the elements and gives the station a shine that keeps it looking good year in and year out. 

Versatile Wet Well Access

Formula X ManwayThe popular flip open wet well manway access cover is even more easy and convenient in the FORMULA X®. It features:

  • Split, reinforced design so that one side can be open and the other closed, providing a stable platform when making wet well observations. Both sides of the wet well access cover can be raised together from a single lift point for full, maximum wet well access.

  • Stainless steel full-length continuous hinge provides a durable connection of the wet well observation/access cover.

  • Tamper resistant stainless steel screws utilized on the manway entrance and station enclosure provide further protection from tampering by unauthorized persons.
