It’s no secret that “flushable” wipes can cause problems for pumping systems. They don’t break down in sumps and wet wells, often conglomerating to form a floating mat, while some settle and accumulate on the sump floor, which decreases sump volume. The Submersible Conditioning Pump from Vaughan Company combats that problem, simultaneously mixing and conditioning waste sumps containing solids that both float and settle. The floatable solids can combine to create an iceberg-like floating mass with chunks that separate and get pulled into the suction of the nonclog station pump, effectively clogging the station pump.The flow from the pump’s mixing
