The lifting station for faecal and faecal-free wastewater is equipped with a submersible pump and a backflow preventer. The collection tank made of permanently resistant polymer (PE) has an enclosed pump tank. One-handed closures enable easy removal of the integrated components. The station is controlled by a user-friendly control unit, which is optionally integrated in the building management system via a potential-free contact or alarm and collective fault messages that can be output via a GSM interface.
