Sewage and sewer pump station tanks in Australia: Sapphire, Super Strong or Carat?

Sewage and sewer pump station briefs need the right wet-well tank body before you lock pumps and lids. GRAF Australia lists compact Australian-made bodies (Sapphire and GARANTIA Super Strong), then Carat S and Carat XL for larger duties. Share duty point, volume and cover constraints for a package quote.

Tank body vs complete pump station

These catalogue pages are tank bodies. Lids, shafts, risers and pump packages are configured to site duty and load class. Do not treat a tank-only PDP as a turnkey packaged station until the quote confirms pumps and covers.

Compact band: Sapphire and Super Strong (600 to 1,500 L)

Sapphire polyethylene pump station / wet well tanks list 600 / 900 / 1,200 / 1,500 L and are Australian made. GARANTIA Super Strong pump-out tanks list the same volume band for wastewater and stormwater pump-out duty (tank and seals; configure lid, riser and pump separately).

Use this band for compact sewage / sewer wet wells and pump-out pits. Super Strong is not a rainwater harvesting tank.

Carat S pump station (2,700 to 6,500 L)

Carat pump station tank bodies list 2,700 / 3,750 / 4,800 / 6,500 L. Made in Germany polyethylene half-shells assemble on site. Step up here when the compact 1,500 L band is too small.

Carat XL pump station (8,500 L)

The AU Carat XL pump station / wet well body lists 8,500 L. Do not assume a 10,000 L Carat XL pump station SKU on the AU catalogue. Carat XL rainwater still lists 8,500 / 10,000 L on a separate rainwater page.

How to choose (quick checklist)

Capture required wet-well volume, sewage / sewer vs stormwater duty, traffic class over the lid, groundwater and pump duty point. Under 1,500 L start with Sapphire or Super Strong; 2,700 to 6,500 L start with Carat S; 8,500 L use Carat XL pump station.
