OverWatch® is a direct in-line pump system designed to completely eliminate the wet well. This breakthrough wastewater solution lifts influent at the point of entry, removing the need for deep vaults or confined spaces. It uses advanced sensors and intelligent controls to monitor pressure, flow, and system conditions in real time, improving efficiency while protecting crews from hazardous environments. OverWatch™ simplifies pump station design, reduces odors, cuts maintenance, and enhances operational safety across municipal, industrial, and commercial applications.

Questions & Answers

  • What happens if the level sensor fails?

    If the level sensor stops working, the controller switches the main pump to a set speed to keep pumping. It also shows an alarm and can send a warning through the network to let someone know.

  • What happens if one motor stops working?

    If a motor stops working and the system can’t fix it automatically, the controller sends the flow to the other pump. You can remove the broken motor without stopping the system by closing the branch valves. 


    Replacing the motor takes just minutes, and a cover plate comes with the system to seal the motor spot during repairs, keeping the area safe and clean.

  • What happens to large debris from a gravity network?

    Large debris gets caught in the stone trap at the back of the housing. This trap lets heavy debris drop out of the flow, and you can remove it by hand through the service hatch. If the network often has stones or gravel, adding a trap in the upstream inspection chamber can help.

  • What happens if the system loses power?

    When the system loses power, it’s the same as with the other system...

    Pumping stops!

    For critical networks, an automatic startup generator is recommended.

  • How does the system keep pipes clear of material buildup?

    The system needs a minimum speed of 0.75 m/s (2.5 ft/sec) to flush material out of the pipes. Variable frequency controllers adjust the pump speed to match the needed flow. If there’s a blockage, the motor speeds up to clear it. The system can be fine-tuned to the right flow range to prevent solids from building up..

  • How can the system be customized for different wastewater needs?

    Rhino Pumps designs the system to fit your specific wastewater needs. They customize the pump package with the right motors, controls, and equipment, all built into a ready-to-use skid for easy installation. This ensures the system works efficiently for your application.

Designing pump systems involves managing information from multiple parties, creating challenges that can lead to increased costs, longer lead times, and mistakes. Factors like design, purchasing, and delivery delays often result in cost overruns that strain budgets and complicate timelines. Unclear responsibilities among stakeholders can cause confusion and inefficiency, while excessive contact points can frustrate communication. However, pumps don’t have to be complicated! Streamlining the process and enhancing collaboration can simplify pump system design and implementation, ensuring a smoother experience for all involved.

Pumps DON'T have to be this complicated!
