card, with the key benefits being: reduced site attendance by engineers, easy installation by trained operatives, alerts to multiple devices and the saving of time and money. Superjet currently have a number of Flood Monitors in place across the UK, reducing the effects of flooding on households and businesses.
pollution generally. This is not good for our industry as a whole. Although the population is increasing, requiring more houses to be built (especially with the stated initiatives of the new Government), currently everything is still going through the existing and very old sewer network.
“Our pumps provide an essential service, so the growing demand is obviously good for business. However, it’s just not right that sewage ends up in our rivers and seas. I can see a big battle looming between the Government, the water companies and their shareholders over their corporate finances.
Flood Monitor
the sewer network be better monitored and protected? Of those operating in it, several companies have opinions, advice and systems to offer.
For example, Superjet have a smart device to monitor water levels. As they say, due to the increase in flooding over recent years, they have developed a system which can be installed in locations which are deemed a potential flood risk. Mainly installed inside manholes and chambers, the ‘Flood Monitor’ acts as an early warning system for increased water levels. Utilising cutting edge technology, the device detects changes in water level and sends out an alert via text message or email to any number of designated devices.
It offers flexibility for us to work in less accessible areas, and where it’s not viable for us to use a big tanker.

“As a householder myself and a keen sea kayaker and wild swimmer, it’s very frustrating, because we’ve all been paying into the system for many years and are now questioning where the money has all gone? Modern sewage and wastewater pumps and systems are now better good at doing what they are designed to do, but unless the downstream infrastructure is in place and operating effectively, the challenges will continue!”
The Adler and Allan Group, together with Flood Monitor alert
This simple process allows engineers to pre-empt possible flooding and act accordingly. This not only saves time but also saves costs of engineer visits when compared to the devastation flooding can cause. Alerts are provided to any mobile device, android or iOS, giving details on the flood monitor affected, coordinates and a link to a Google map pin location. This makes attending the affected area a quick, simple and efficient process.
Superjet’s Flood Monitors are available for hire or sale, with an easy-to-follow set-up process – all done by their technicians. Equipment provided includes a Flood Monitor, tablet and SIM

David Johnson is the Business Development and Marketing Director of Pump Technology Ltd and he commented that their equipment was designed and supplied to pump wastewater and sewage from a building out to the public sewer network. From there, the company did not have any real influence on what subsequently happened to it.
However, because their equipment is a vital part of the disposal system, Pump Technology has always been concerned about the environment – which is one of the reasons the company sponsors Surfers Against Sewage. As David said: “Our products are carefully sized and specified to ensure that sewage gets to treatment plants reliably and without ending up in our rivers and seas. But we know that there are growing challenges with
