PVP- & PVPM-Series Pump Vaults
Orenco PVP- and PVPM-Series Biotube® Pump Vaults feature a unique, patent-pending, passively self-cleaning vault designed to extend cleaning intervals, along with a Biotube effluent filter cartridge that’s removable for maintenance and cleaning without removing the pump(s). Both types of pump vaults (PVP for standard tanks and PVPM for Orenco’s M-Series tanks) incorporate a molded-in flow inducer that houses one or two Orenco high-head effluent pumps. Effluent from a septic tank or dosing tank enters through the inlet port and flows through the Biotube filter cartridge before reaching the vault’s flow inducer. The filter cartridge removes up to two-thirds of suspended solids from wastewater effluent in onsite wastewater systems and liquid-only (effluent) sewers.1
