When it comes to selecting a package pump station, one size doesn’t fit all. Your site’s size, usage type, drainage needs, and long-term operational expectations all play a role in choosing the right system. Get it wrong, and you risk inefficiencies, higher running costs, and avoidable disruptions and maintenance costs.

At Advantage Pumping Solutions, we make sure you get it right—first time. Here’s how to approach the decision-making process, and what you should consider when choosing the right package pump station for your site.

1. Understand Your Site’s Drainage Requirements

A good starting point is to have a full understanding of your site’s layout and flow rates. Is the terrain flat or sloped? Where is your discharge point? How much wastewater needs to be moved—and how quickly? Are there any stipulated discharge consents? if/what storage will be required?

We’ll work with you to assess these details and match them to a package pump station configuration that’s engineered for performance and compliance.

2. Choose the Right Pump Configuration

Your flow rate and operational needs will determine whether you need a single, twin, or multi-pump setup:

  • Single pump systems – Suitable for low-flow, low-risk sites.
  • Twin pump systems – Provide redundancy or alternation to prolong equipment life.
  • Multi-pump systems – For large or high-demand sites, ensuring constant uptime and smooth operation.

Our experts guide you through the pros and cons of each setup and recommend the best-fit configuration for your project.

3. Factor in Energy Efficiency & Long-Term Costs

Running costs can mount up over time. That’s why we focus on designing energy-efficient systems, where applicable using variable speed drives and smart telemetry to reduce consumption and flag issues early. The result? Lower costs, reduced environmental impact, and more reliable performance.

4. Make Maintenance Easy from Day One

Ease of maintenance isn’t just a post-installation issue—it should be part of your decision-making process. All Advantage pump stations are built for access, with modular designs and internal components laid out for quick servicing. We also offer remote monitoring options to catch issues before they escalate.

5. Consider Installation Practicalities

Our package pump stations are pre-assembled and pre-tested, reducing on-site disruption and installation time. We also advise on groundwork prep, power supply requirements, and site layout to ensure smooth installation—whether you’re working on a new development, retrofit, or tight urban space.
