The modular wastewater pumping station of the future

Reliasource - SCS system

A reliable, self-cleaning solution for domestic and industrial wastewater.

Traditional wastewater pumping stations often face the buildup of debris, floating layers, odor nuisance, or corrosion caused by H2S gases. The ReliaSource® SCS System from Gorman-Rupp is a standardized, turnkey solution for both new installations and pumping station renovations. All of these challenges are addressed effectively.

Key advantages

Energy efficient; more important than ever

Using Gorman Rupp self-priming pumps with the ReliaSource®- SCS System can save energy. Traditional systems often operate at maximum speed, which leads to high friction losses. The ReliaSource®- SCS System minimizes these losses by controlling the flow at a certain level, which leads to more efficient use of energy and lower operating costs.

Cost saving

The construction or renovation of a wastewater pumping station requires a significant investment. By installing a modular, standardized ReliaSource® SCS system from Gorman-Rupp, you save more than 6% on total costs during the first five years after commissioning compared to a traditional submersible pumping station. Over the full service life of the pumping station, these savings can increase to as much as 40%. How do we know this? Based on thousands of above-ground wastewater installations supplied by Gorman-Rupp worldwide.

Safety and hygiene

A above-ground pumping installation has many advantages in the field of safety and hygiene. Imagine; no electricity in the wastewater, no more people who have to go into the pit for maintenance, no pumps that are dirty on the outside. What a convenience!

How does the SCS Self-Cleaning Sump system work?

  1. Inclined Collection Chamber
    At the heart of the SCS System is the patented inclined collector, developed by Gorman-Rupp. It comes as a modular kit for easy installation on-site.
  2. Inspection Pit
    While optional, a sloped inspection pit is recommended. It provides visibility into the process and enables easy collection of wastewater from various inflow points.
  3. Above-Ground Pump Station
    Pump stations installed above ground in a dedicated enclosure reduce construction costs significantly. The SCS System is compatible with all stations equipped with self-priming pumps.
  4. Level Regulation
    It is advised to use the HABS 2000 back pressure system, though other alternatives are possible. Level measurement takes place at the base of the sloped collector.
  5. Control Panel
    The control cabinet contains all essential components for protection, regulation, and control of the pumping process.

FAQs

What is a ReliaSource® above-ground pumping station?

A ReliaSource® above-ground pumping station is a fully assembled and factory-tested system that combines one or more self-priming pumps inside a durable enclosure. It’s designed for easy installation, minimal civil engineering, safe and hygienic maintenance and a long service life.

The turn-key design makes them quick to install, reducing on site installation time. Thanks to the above ground installation, the pumps are easy to access for maintenance and any maintenance work can be done safe and hygienic, without precautions often associated with submersible pumping installations. The pumps and standardized IEC motors remain dry, ensuring longer operational life and lower maintenance costs.

Each ReliaSource® system can be equipped with Gorman-Rupp Super T Series® , Ultra V Series® and Ultra VS twin stage Series®. All self-priming pumps, ideal for handling solids-laden liquids and wastewater applications.

Yes. The enclosures are available in steel or polyester (fiberglass-reinforced) construction and come with an industry leading warranty. Optional soundproofing keeps noise levels low, even in residential areas.

Each unit is delivered pre-assembled on a welded frame and tested in the factory. On site, only suction, discharge, and power connections are needed, installation is fast and straightforward.

Maintenance is simple. The pump impeller is accessible via an adjustable inspection cover, and an optional Eradicator® system helps prevent clogging. This design minimizes downtime and ensures reliable operation.

Depending on the model:

  • Super T Series®: up to 750 m³/h, 3.5 bar pressure, solids up to 76 mm
  • Ultra V Series®: up to 430 m³/h, 5–10 bar pressure, solids up to 76 mm
  • Ultra VS Series®: up to 430 m³/h, up to 12 bar pressure, solids up to 76 mm

They can be installed almost anywhere, in a technical room, a shed, or a freestanding enclosure and can be customized to fit the surrounding environment.

They are ideal for municipal and industrial wastewater, stormwater, and general dewatering applications where reliability, accessibility, and minimal maintenance are essential.

The SCS or Self-Cleaning-Sump system is an innovative and optional addition to the ReliaSource® pumping stations. This proprietary Gorman-Rupp design consists of an in-line level regulated sump, mitigating clogging, odours and unwanted grease layers.
