Newark Marina, on the river Trent in Nottinghamshire, has had it first Pump Out Station installed.

The unit has been specified, installed and commissioned by Warwickshire Marine Sanitation specialists LeeSan and has been specially designed to meet ATEX ratings due to the fact that it is sited next to a fuel pump. This means that it has features such as rubber encased operations buttons and a variety of other proofing systems.

The unit is equipped with the reliable and well proven Rheinstrom LS60W Diaphragm pump and is marina controlled with the end user operating the start/stop function.

It is fitted with a 15-metre suction hose and a LeeSan ISO Standard Probe Valve featuring a bronze nozzle with fitted “O” ring allowing clean simple hands-free operation when used with an ISO standard deck fitting.  It also has a built-in sight glass to check flow and a positive on/off lever.

This connection was developed by LeeSan in association with the UK Waterways organisations over many years and is now recognised as the gold standard for this type of equipment.

The easy to clean, all-weather Stainless-Steel housing is mounted on a small plinth to protect it from flooding.

There are now over 2000 LeeSan Pump Out units in operation worldwide.
