Better than a Pump Pit

Finally – A Better Alternative to the Dreaded “Drafting/Money Pit”

Thinking of sinking valuable money into an antiquated Pump Pit… consider this:

Costs and Limitations of a Traditional Draft Pit:

  • A Traditional underground pump Pit is subject to UST (underground storage tank) regulations
  • The cost of monthly water quality testing and filtration can exceed the cost of a Pump Pod™ Unit
  • Pump Pits are being investigated nationally for heavy metals and pathogens,  also a source of cancer
  • The footprint of a Pump Pit is now a no-go area for parking or transit
  • Limited primarily to pump testing – water heats up quickly, then takes days to cool down
  • Not suitable for training personnel and NO dynamic flows, i.e. Aerials, Monitors, advanced hose lays
  • Always in the same spot – zero flexibility where you practice / test… you must go to it
  • Expensive to design, permit and build
