The benefits of using pumps in plumbing include:
Increased efficiency: Pumps can help to increase the efficiency of plumbing systems by reducing the time and energy required to move fluids from one location to another.
Consistency: Pumps can help to ensure a consistent flow of fluids throughout a plumbing system, which is particularly important in commercial and industrial applications.
Improved water pressure: Booster pumps can be used to increase water pressure in plumbing systems, providing better flow rates and improved performance.
Cost savings: By improving the efficiency of plumbing systems, pumps can help to reduce energy consumption and lower operating costs.
Overall, pumps are an essential component of plumbing systems, providing a wide range of benefits that can help to improve performance and reduce costs.
There are various types of pumps used in the plumbing field for a wide range of applications. Some common pumps used in plumbing include:
- Centrifugal pumps: These pumps are commonly used in plumbing for their ability to move large volumes of water at low pressures. They are ideal for circulating hot water and handling wastewater.
- Submersible pumps: These pumps are designed to be submerged in water and are commonly used in applications such as draining flooded areas and sump pits.
- Booster pumps: These pumps are used to increase water pressure in plumbing systems. They are typically used in tall buildings or areas with low water pressure.
- Sewage pumps: These pumps are specifically designed to handle wastewater and sewage in plumbing systems. They are typically used in residential and commercial buildings where the waste needs to be pumped to a sewer or septic tank.
- Jet pumps: These pumps are used in shallow wells and are capable of pumping water from depths of up to 25 feet.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Service Repair
Does a septic tank pump need to run all the time?
If your septic tank is pumped too often, that bacteria will have no place to go but out into the drain field, which can lead to clogs and failures. So unless your septic tank's sludge and scum levels reach certain thresholds, it's actually beneficial to leave the septic tank alone.
Can Gold Coast Better Electrical undertake installations for commercial projects?
Yes. Gold Coast Better Electrical specialises in the installation of commercial systems of all sizes. Please contact Gold Coast Better Electrical to discuss your requirements now!
What does a service technician do during a routine service?
It is important that you choose an accredited service technician to perform the servicing of your wastewater treatment plant.
Servicing should take place every three months and should include (at a minimum):
- Check sludge and scum levels in the primary septic tank (if lids are exposed)
- Check aeration pump for correct operation
- Clean and check aeration equipment
- Clean and flush treatment filters
- Check dissolved oxygen levels
- De-sludge settling chamber/s
- Check control panel, alarms and pumps
- Onsite testing of water quality
- Add chlorine tablets to chlorine dispenser (for surface irrigation only)
- Remove and clean irrigation filter (if applicable)
- Inspect irrigation area
- Complete service report^
Each service report should be provided to you (the customer), as well as your local council, as per council requirements.
Service reports should provide information such as details on the general performance of the system; and recommendations on what you could do to improve the function of the system, including pump out/desludge requirements.
What is desludging and how often do I need to do it?
As you use your system over the years, your system will gradually build ‘sludge’, a layer of solids that settle at the bottom of the system and ‘scum’, the layer that floats on top of the primary septic tank, which typically consists of fats, oils and grease.
Desludging (or pumping out) your wastewater treatment plant is essential for the performance of the system.
Your accredited service technician will monitor the sludge and scum levels in your system if lids are accessible and will advise when a pump out is required.
Desludging should take place every three years (on average), however, this depends on how well you maintain your system, as well as the number of people living in your home (i.e. the number and intensity of loads).
If a pump out is required, it should be performed as soon as possible by an accredited liquid waste removal contractor.
A record of the pump out should be provided to your local council as well as your service provider.
