Pressure Sewer System
Features
Environmentally sensitive. Economically sensible. Plus the freedom to build anywhere.
EOne Pressure Sewer Systems are an economical and effective method of sewering otherwise difficult land areas such as flat, wet, rocky and hilly terrain. At a fraction of the cost of gravity sewers, EOne Pressure Sewer Systems can serve an entire community and give engineers, developers, community planners, and homeowners the freedom to sewer anywhere, on any kind of site.
For the developer or prospective homebuilder, EOne frees you to utilize the best sightlines on any plot – regardless of the location of the sewer main or septic field. This means better sightlines, aesthetics, and views, as well as the possibility of utilizing “difficult” or orphan lots, and maximizing the density of any development.
E/One Sewer systems also feature a lighter “footprint.” That’s because they follow the contour of the land, so they can go anywhere without destroying the landscape. Even around existing features like mature trees, streams, and rock formations.
They’re easier to install than conventional gravity sewers, so they greatly reduce the high cost of sewering. And they’re highly reliable. So they lower operating costs.

Applications
How the Sewer SystemWorks
The E/One system stores, grinds and pumps wastewater under pressure to a treatment site or central sewer, depending on the location. Because the output is pressurized, the wastewater can be transported horizontally more than 3km, or uphill some 56 metres vertically (or design to operate at a duty point of 56m Head). Because the system does not rely on gravity to carry the waste, it provides more options for siting and building, as well as system renovations.
Why the EONe is Better than Gravity
Both the gravity sewer and the E/One Sewer system are known as central sewer systems. Most cities and villages use central sewering, which simply means that waste is transferred, usually by pipe or a main, to a central treatment plant. Gravity sewers are the “original” central sewers, with origins in the Roman aqueducts. Unfortunately, the technology behind gravity sewers is also centuries old: they’re bulky systems using a large main and usually require major excavation to install. They must be accurately placed and bedded along a continuous downward grade and often involve large, costly lift stations. Plus they’re expensive and not entirely efficient in transporting waste because they can tend to leak, and can be compromised by storm water infiltration.
Engineered to do One Job Perfectly
The Extreme series grinder pump, the heart of the E/One Sewer, is the industry leader in ruggedness, watertight design, serviceability and reliability. It provides wastewater storage, grinding, and pumping in a single unit. Translation: it lowers operating costs, the cost of waste collection, and reduces maintenance. The E/One grinder pump is engineered to do one job perfectly and in the process, provides the best value for homeowners, builders, developers and municipalities.
Defy Gravity withy EONE
The beauty of the E/One Sewer system is that, unlike conventional central sewers, it defies gravity. Because installation follows the natural contour of the land, it is ideal for all terrain, including land that is flat, wet, rocky, or hilly. It gives the freedom to sewer anywhere including sites where old septic systems have contaminated water and posed severe public health issues.
How will it Look?
Aesthetics are a major consideration for homeowners. The E/One Sewer system is virtually out of sight — the only visible part is a low-profile cover that blends seamlessly into the environment but provides easy access for servicing operations.
Priced Right for Installation and for the Long Term
E/One can solve sewering problems and replace failing septic systems at a fraction of the cost of conventional gravity sewers. E/One Sewer systems sharply reduce both front-end installation costs and overall lifecycle costs.
When it Comes to Sewer System Technology, Bigger isn’t Better
Conventional gravity sewers can use up to a 600mm large-diameter pipe, or main, which requires major excavation and severely disrupts the landscape and any built structures such as lawns, driveways, and plantings. The E/One Sewer system uses an unobtrusive, small-diameter 50-100mm main installed right below the frostline, following the natural topography of the land. The small-diameter mains mean small trenches — or, no trenches at all if directional boring is used.
Septic Systems – Potential Time Bombs in Our Midst
While septic systems may be a common way of disposing of residential sanitary waste, they are, at best, a temporary solution and come at a high cost to public health. Around the world, septic systems have degraded ground and recreational water, creating serious safety problems. Because of failing septic systems, water is not safe to drink. In addition, failing septic systems decrease real estate values. E/One Sewer systems can go wherever septic systems were initially used, reclaiming water quality and quality of life while providing an efficient, cost-effective solution to wastewater disposal and treatment.

Technical Specifications
The EOne Pressure System consists of 4 parts -
Pump Station
Pump
At the heart of an E/One Sewer® is the Grinder Pump, developed by Environment One. These units accept household sanitary waste, grind it into a fine slurry, and pressurize it to permit transport through small-diameter pipes.
Alarm Panel
The Sentry line of alarm panels is custom designed for use with EOne grinder pumps systems. The EOne Sentry alarm panels provide the latest technology and flexibility.
Boundary Kit
EOne’s experience has ensured that they have been able to develop the most functional, reliable and cost effective boundary kit available.
