Smith & Loveless Non-Clog Pumps Back to top The pumps incorporated in Smith & Loveless stations are heavy duty designs with a minimum 1.875" solid stainless steel shaft and bronze seal housing. High efficiency impeller and motor designs provide years of dependable trouble free operation. Smith & Loveless offers two styles of pumps, vacuum-primed and flooded suction.
Vacuum-Primed Pump	The vacuum-primed pumps are designed to prime in less than 60 seconds under standard rated conditions. These pumps are designed to stay primed indefinitely. To view the 4-Step vacuum priming process, click here. The published efficiencies of these pumps represent true pump efficiency. There are no belt losses, bleed line losses or any other losses to be added. These pumps are use a straight run from the wet well to pump into the eye of the impeller to prevent clogging. These pumps have no suction restrictions.
Flooded-Suction Pump	The Smith & Loveless flooded-suction pumps are manufactured with heavy cast-iron balanced impellers, bronze mechanical seals and the largest pump shaft in the industry. You can choose either a double volute or dual-curve volute for reduced radial thrust. The tight clearance between the front head and impeller minimizes recirculation, resulting in improved efficiency. The motor-pump shaft on Smith & Loveless equipment does not require a seal, reducing maintenance and expenses. For easy maintenance, the entire rotating assembly can be lifted out of this pump simply by removing the capscrews.
Wet Well Mounted Positive Prime Pump Stations Back to top Consider this style station in lieu of the submersible designs to reduce the confined space issues associated with a standard design. Pumps and controls are contained within a Fiberglass Environmentally Controlled housing where the equipment is operated and maintained above ground. Operations and inspections of the equipment are accomplished with reduced labor and safety concerns. These stations are available in the standard above ground, recessed and capsular concepts for normal outside installations or inside your own design building. Smith & Loveless released their newest variation to the wet well mounted pump station, the Formula X, in October 2001. To read more about the features of the Formula X, click here.

Retrofit Back to top The pumping equipment produced by Smith & Loveless Inc. could be used to replace other manufacturers pumping equipment such as Allis Chalmers, Fairbanks Morse, Aurora, submersible pumping equipment, older style pneumatic ejectors stations or concrete stations requiring upgrading to modern concepts. The heavy duty construction of their component equipment and prefabricated systems will offer a quality alternative to your present conditions. Allow us the opportunity to look into your application.
Wastewater Treatment Equipment Back to top Smith & Loveless offers a full line of wastewater treatment equipment, from headworks/pretreatment to primary, secondary and tertiary treatment. For headworks/pretreatment, Smith & Loveless offers screens, including their rotating drum Intellisieve; flow equalization systems, including the Mini-Ject pump for use with package plants; and PISTA Grit removal systems for reducing grit accumulation and separating organics and inorganics. For primary treatment, Smith & Loveless offers a line of clarifiers available in circular or rectangular designs; separators for solid/liquid and liquid/liquid particle separation; chemical storage and chemical feed systems. For secondary treatment, Smith & Loveless offers their wet well mounted pump stations, as well as clarifiers, mechanical aerators and factory-built plants. Their factory-built plants include the FAST treatment plant which uses an aerobic, fixed film treatment process. The FAST plant is a good solution for applications where space is limited. There is also the Marine FAST for use on ocean vessels, ferryboats and offshore oil platforms and the Floating FAST for pond and lagoon installation. They also offer the simple, easy-to-maintain, reliable Model CY plant for small commercial applications. For larger municipal or industrial applications, Smith & Loveless offers the LOOP system, which is an oxidation ditch design; the Addigest and Oxigest, which have a capability for add-ons such as flow equalization, sludge storage, nutrient removal, disinfection and more; the Model R, the most cost-effective pre-engineered aerobic system in the industry; the Model V, which has many available component sizes to choose from; and the Anobac for low power usage and low sludge production. For tertiary treatment, Smith & Loveless offers filters, such as brinemakers, ion exchange filters and membrane systems; denitrification systems; post aeration units; and phosphorus removal equipment, including the Clar-i-vator, phosphorus precipitator and the lime slaker.
