Which treatment is necessary for storm water?
What is grey wastewater?
Under which circumstances should you consider a pressurised wastewater system rather than a gravitation system
Which three factors have increased the risk of flooding and back flow?
Which method of backflow prevention has the following advantages: Offers maximum backflow and flooding protection. Ideal for safeguarding electrical and other high value equipment. Offers unlimited use of sanitary facilities in case of backflow. Is easily serviced. Can be installed in a building’s storm water drains. Is not sensitive to sand and solid objects in the water.
Which method of backflow prevention has the following disadvantages: Highly sensitive to sand and solid objects in the water. In a backflow situation, it is not possible to use the sanitary facilities that are connected to this device. Storm water drains cannot be connected to this device. The device is not 100% safe and should be used only to protect secondary rooms with no vital technical installations.

Test results
Q: Which treatment is necessary for storm water?
A: It has to go through an oil/petrol separator
Q: Which treatment is necessary for storm water?
A: It has to go through a sand pressure
Q: Which treatment is necessary for storm water?
A: None – it is pumped directly to the recipient
Q: What is grey wastewater?
A: Water, which is discharged from showers, sinks, washing machines, canteen kitchens etc.
Q: What is grey wastewater?
A: Water which is primarily discharged from toilets
Q: What is grey wastewater?
A: Water which has not been affected by human influence
Q: Under which circumstances should you consider a pressurised wastewater system rather than a gravitation system
A: When there is a long distance between the building and the sewer main, when the sewer main is up-hill or when there are obstacles between the building and the sewer main.
Q: Under which circumstances should you consider a pressurised wastewater system rather than a gravitation system
A: When there is a long distance between the building and the sewer main or when the sewer main is located far below the building.
Q: Under which circumstances should you consider a pressurised wastewater system rather than a gravitation system
A: When there is a short distance between the building and the sewer main or there are obstacles between the building and sewer main.
Q: Which three factors have increased the risk of flooding and back flow?
A: A higher frequency of rainfalls, increased length of rainfalls and more paved areas today than earlier.
Q: Which three factors have increased the risk of flooding and back flow?
A: A higher frequency of rainfalls, unmaintained sewers and an increase in paved areas
Q: Which three factors have increased the risk of flooding and back flow?
A: A higher frequency of rainfalls and buildings that are poorly equipped for increased amounts of water.

A: Lifting stations
Q: Why is the life cycle cost of the pressurised wastewater system low?
A: There are only a few gravitation pipes outside the building and the excavation cost is low
Q: Why is the life cycle cost of the pressurised wastewater system low?
A: The initial cost of the lifting station is lower compared with a pit and there are no gravitation pipes outside the building
Q: Why is the life cycle cost of the pressurised wastewater system low?
A: The lifting station and the pipe system is maintenance-free
Q: What are the disadvantages of the traditional gravitation system?
A: Many gravitation pipes with a small diameter have to be installed outside the building and the inspection wells are expensive
Q: What are the disadvantages of the traditional gravitation system?
A: Inspection wells are difficult to maintain and the initial cost of the pumping pit is high
Q: What are the disadvantages of the traditional gravitation system?
A: Many gravitation pipes have to be installed outside the building and a great deal of excavation work is needed.
