Pump Vaults & Flow Inducers
Universal Pump Vaults (PVU)
Universal Biotube® Pump Vaults can house one or two Orenco high-head effluent pumps. They are used to filter up to two-thirds of the suspended solids from wastewater effluent flowing from septic tanks or separate dosing tanks in onsite wastewater systems and effluent sewers. Effluent enters through inlet holes around the perimeter of the vault and flows through the Biotube effluent filter cartridge to the external flow inducers. The filter cartridge can be removed without pulling the pump or the vault.

PV Series Pump Vaults (PV)
PV Series Biotube® Pump Vaults have a smaller diameter designed to fit in tanks with narrow access openings. They incorporate a molded-in flow inducer that houses one Orenco high-head effluent pump. PV Series Pump Vaults are used to filter up to two-thirds of the suspended solids from wastewater effluent flowing from septic tanks or separate dosing tanks in effluent sewer (STEP) systems and onsite wastewater systems. Effluent enters through inlet holes around the perimeter of the vault and flows through the Biotube effluent filter cartridge to the external flow inducers. The filter cartridge can be removed without pulling the pump or the vault.
Universal Flow Inducer Towers (UFI)
Universal Flow Inducers manufactured by Orenco® are used to house Orenco high-head effluent pumps after treatment or filtration, in applications such as pump tanks, disinfection systems, effluent reuse systems, and cisterns. Because the universal flow inducer’s mounting flange is installed on a sliding tee, its length can be adjusted to fit any size tank. Universal flow inducers come with a float bracket, so an Orenco float switch assembly can be easily attached.
Flow Inducer Towers (FIT)
Flow Inducer Towers manufactured by Orenco® are used to house two to five Orenco high-head effluent pumps in recirculation tanks or final discharge tanks following filtration or secondary treatment in commercial and municipal wastewater systems. For tanks with curved bottoms, an Orenco vault basin is required to create a flat surface on which the flow inducer tower can rest. Flow inducer towers include a float bracket for attaching an Orenco float switch assembly (ordered separately).
