KSB LevelControl Basic 2: Level control unit for controlling and protecting either one or two pumps.

Reliable lifting units need reliable control systems.

Single-pump lifting units for waste water without faeces are controlled by an integrated mechanical float; dual-pump units are controlled by one of KSB's LevelControl Basic 2 control units.

Depending on the design variant, lifting units for waste water containing faeces are either fitted with LevelControl Basic 1 or 2. With their many control and connection options, the control units ensure reliable, trouble-free operation of our waste water lifting units.

Calculation aid for lifting units

The calculation tool helps determine the waste water volume when the building type and design units have been entered.

Entering a head and pipe length will result in the required lifting unit, including its material number and list price.
