Pump stations play a vital role in water management by transporting water, wastewater, stormwater, and greywater when natural gravity flow is insufficient. Whether used for rainwater harvesting, wastewater treatment, sewage management, or stormwater drainage, these systems ensure efficient, controlled water movement across residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural applications.
At Eco Building Supplies, we specialise in high-quality pump stations, offering professional installation, supply, and maintenance services across Adelaide and Greater South Australia.
Additionally, we work with Pump Stations Australia, a leading provider of advanced pump station solutions, who transport their Pump Station all across Australia, ensuring that our customers receive the most reliable and efficient pumping systems available in the industry.
A pump station, or well, is a system designed to collect, store, and distribute water using electric or solar-powered pumps. It enables water transfer in stormwater and sewage situations where natural gravitational flow is not sufficient, such as low-lying areas, basements, or properties requiring water movement to higher elevations.
✔ Pump Systems – The core of the system, responsible for pressurising and moving water.
✔ Storage Tanks or Sumps – Hold water before it’s pumped to the required location.
✔ Control Panels & Sensors – Automate operation, ensuring optimal water levels and efficiency.
✔ Filtration & Treatment Systems – Remove debris, sediment, and contaminants, particularly in greywater and stormwater applications.
Once installed, pump stations provide seamless water distribution for irrigation, wastewater management, sewage treatment, and drainage systems.
Rainwater pump stations are essential for distributing harvested rainwater from underground storage tanks to household appliances, gardens, and irrigation systems. These pumps maintain consistent pressure, ensuring rainwater can be used efficiently in laundry, toilets, or irrigation without reliance on mains water.
✔ Ideal for homes, commercial, industrial and mining businesses, and agricultural properties.
✔ Helps reduce water bills and reliance on municipal supply.
✔ Works with rainwater harvesting tanks of all sizes.
Greywater pump stations collect and distribute treated greywater from showers, sinks, and laundry for reuse in irrigation, toilet flushing, and landscaping. By recycling greywater, homeowners can reduce water waste and create a more sustainable property.
✔ Eco-friendly solution for reducing household water consumption.
✔ Helps properties comply with water conservation regulations.
✔ Suitable for residential, commercial, and agricultural use.
Sewage and wastewater pump stations transport sewage and treated wastewater from low-lying properties to municipal sewer systems or treatment plants. These are critical for homes, businesses, and industrial sites where gravity drainage isn’t possible.
✔ Moves wastewater safely to treatment facilities.
✔ Reduces risk of sewage overflow and blockages.
✔ Required for properties below main sewer lines.
Stormwater pump stations help manage heavy rainfall and prevent flooding by pumping excess stormwater away from residential, commercial, and public areas. They are commonly used in low-lying areas, car parks, and urban developments.
✔ Prevents flood damage to properties and infrastructure.
✔ Manages stormwater drainage in high-risk flood zones.
✔ Works with stormwater collection tanks and drainage systems.
Pump stations control water flow and ensure reliable water distribution, improving efficiency in irrigation, wastewater removal, and drainage systems.
Stormwater and sewage pump stations help prevent water buildup in low-lying properties, reducing the risk of flooding and water damage.
Greywater and rainwater pump stations promote sustainable water use, helping homeowners reduce reliance on mains water while supporting environmental conservation.
The type of pump station you need depends on several factors, including, type of water, water source, usage, flow rate, and property location. At Eco Building Supplies, we help clients select the best pump station for their specific needs, whether for rainwater collection, wastewater treatment, stormwater drainage, or greywater recycling.
We also collaborate with Pump Stations Australia, an industry leader in engineered pump solutions, providing innovative and high-performance pumping systems for residential, commercial, industrial and mining applications. Their expertise ensures that every pump station we install meets the highest industry standards for efficiency, durability, and performance.

A pump station is a system that moves water, wastewater, or stormwater when gravity flow is not sufficient. It uses electric or solar-powered pumps to transfer water from low-lying areas to sewer systems, storage tanks, or drainage systems.
A pump station is necessary if your property is in a low-lying area, has poor drainage, or requires efficient water movement for rainwater harvesting, greywater recycling, sewage management, or stormwater drainage.
Pump stations are designed for specific applications, including rainwater pump stations for household and irrigation use, greywater pump stations for water recycling, sewage pump stations for wastewater transfer, and stormwater pump stations for flood prevention.
The cost of a pump station varies based on size, capacity, and installation requirements. Residential pump stations typically range from $2,000 to $20,000, while larger commercial and industrial systems from $15,000 to $50,000.
Yes, many pump stations, including sewage and stormwater systems, are normally installed underground to pick up stormwater, greywater and sewage, and to maximise space and maintain a discreet appearance. Professional installation ensures proper drainage, ventilation, and waterproofing.
Regular maintenance includes checking pump performance, cleaning filters, inspecting sensors, and ensuring pipe connections are secure. Most residential pump stations require servicing every 6-12 months, while commercial systems may need more frequent checks.
A well-maintained pump station typically lasts 15 to 25 years. Lifespan depends on factors such as pump quality, usage frequency, and environmental conditions.
Most pump stations require electricity, but backup power options such as battery back up systems and generators can keep them running during outages.
Rainwater and greywater pump stations help reduce mains water reliance by distributing collected water for household and irrigation use, lowering overall water costs.
In certain locations, local councils or state regulations require pump stations for properties with low-lying drainage, new developments, or commercial sites needing controlled wastewater and stormwater management.
