Why the Wet Well Is Dead

OverWatch Pump System Revolutionizes Pump Replacements
For decades, wet wells have been the backbone of wastewater management, but their time is up. The OverWatch pump system, brought to life by Industrial Flow Solutions and expertly installed by Rhino Pumps, is rewriting the rules. If you’re searching for wet well pump replacements or innovative solutions to outdated systems, this blog post is for you. Let’s dive into why the wet well is dead and how OverWatch is leading the charge.
The Problem with Wet Wells
Wet wells, those underground tanks collecting wastewater, have been a headache since their inception. Ragging where flushable wipes and debris clog pumps plagues these systems, leading to frequent maintenance, safety hazards, and costly repairs. Traditional setups require workers to enter confined spaces, risking exposure to hazardous gases like hydrogen sulfide. With over 2,000 global installations, the OverWatch system proves wet wells are no longer necessary, offering a safer, more efficient alternative.
How OverWatch Kills the Wet Well
OverWatch’s direct in-line pumping eliminates the wet well entirely. Wastewater is pumped straight from the entry point to discharge, preventing clogs with smart sensors and variable speed drives. Its three impeller options DIPCUT, vortex, and high-efficiency tackle different challenges. The DIPCUT shreds debris with 70% efficiency, the vortex handles 100% inlet-diameter solids with 50% efficiency, and the high-efficiency impeller boosts flow up to 1,500 GPM with 85% efficiency. This adaptability reduces maintenance by up to 80% and saves thousands annually, as seen in case studies like Sherman, New York.
Real-World Success: City Creek Mall Installation
Take the recent OverWatch installation at City Creek Mall in Utah by Rhino Pumps. This project showcased a seamless setup, replacing outdated wet well systems with a dry pit configuration. The result? No overflows, no odors, and minimal downtime proving OverWatch is a game-changer for commercial properties seeking wet well pump replacements.
