Get a load of this😍

Getting 2.2m increments out to site takes just as much planning as the pump station unit itself.

Escorts booked, routes checked, oversize permits sorted... all so it turns up exactly when our customer needs it.

It's the part of the journey that can receive less attention, however, we know how important it is for our customers. It's what they count on.

If you've got a wastewater project coming up and want to guarantee timely deliveries, always happy to chat.

Send us an email at [email protected] or give us a call on 08 8275 8000.

A few weeks on from the NZIBES event in Auckland, where Mike Ireland represented Global Water as part of the High Performer Building Innovation Zone.

Upon reflecting on conversations had at the stand, two things stood out.

1. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗽𝘂𝗺𝗽 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 came up as a genuine differentiator, particularly for sites with corrosive ground conditions or long service life expectations. Plumbers and specifiers are increasingly asking what the pump housing is made of before anything else.

2. The option for a 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿-𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 was also of interest, particularly for remote and off-grid installations where access to mains power can be challenging. As pressure sewer systems pump small volumes intermittently and have low energy requirements, they can be readily powered by a domestic-sized solar and inverter system, offering a practical alternative where grid connection is difficult or costly.

New Zealand continues to be an important market for us, and events like NZIBES are a reminder of how much is happening across the industry there.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our stand for a chat. If you missed Mike, please get in touch with him below.

Ever wondered why sewer flows spike after heavy rain? 🌧️

It's called inflow and infiltration (I&I) - and it happens when stormwater and groundwater sneak into the sewer network through cracked pipes, damaged manholes, and faulty joints. That extra water takes up space meant for actual wastewater, which means higher pumping costs, more overflow risk, and extra strain on treatment plants.

The good news? Pressure sewer systems are built to keep that water out. Sealed pipework, fewer access points, and positive internal pressure all work together to stop stormwater and groundwater getting in where they shouldn't.

Inflow and infiltration is a wet-weather challenge in wastewater networks that's easy to miss until flows spike.

In conventional gravity sewers, stormwater and groundwater work their way in through cracked pipes, faulty joints, ageing manholes and illegal stormwater connections - pushing flows well beyond design capacity during wet weather.

Pressure sewer systems are built differently, which limits how much of this water can get in:
✅ Pressure mains use continuous PE pipework with welded joints, resulting in fewer leakage points than jointed gravity pipe
✅ Fewer manholes and access points are needed, since pumping happens at each property rather than through a shared gravity network
✅ Positive internal pressure works against water trying to get in, rather than groundwater forcing its way through defects the way it can in gravity sewers
✅ Smaller pipe diameters mean less surface area exposed to surrounding groundwater, further reducing infiltration risk

Sealed pressure networks don't eliminate inflow and infiltration completely, but they significantly reduce the opportunities for it to occur compared with gravity systems. If it's driving up pumping and treatment costs, our team can help assess whether pressure sewer is the right fit.

Why can't some properties just gravity-feed sewage to the sewer main?

Gravity sewer systems rely on carefully graded pipework to pump wastewater downhill to a treatment plant. That works well on land with a consistent slope - but steep terrain, rocky ground, high groundwater, flat sites or remote developments can all make deep trenching for a gravity connection expensive and disruptive.

Where that's the case, a pressure sewer system offers a different way to get wastewater to the network:
✅ A grinder pump at each property breaks down solids into a fine slurry and pushes wastewater into the network
✅ Wastewater travels through sealed, small-diameter HDPE pipes (typically 40mm-100mm) under pressure, rather than relying on gravity
✅ Because the system doesn't need a continuous downhill gradient, pipework can be installed at shallower depths and routed around difficult terrain, rock, sandy soils or existing services

The right system comes down to what the site allows, not a one-size-fits-all default.

At Global Water, we know that a grease muncher is only as effective as its installation. That's why we recently updated the Grease Muncher™ GM700 we have on display at Tonsley TAFE SA - giving plumbing students continued hands-on experience with real equipment before they ever step onto a job site.

Why the GM700?
The GM700 is a compact wastewater treatment unit purpose-built for cafés, small restaurants, canteens, club kitchens and fast food outlets. It combines a conventional underflow grease arrestor design with a biological filter, using microbial activity to significantly reduce grease content in the discharge.

A few facts worth knowing:
✅ Handles flow rates up to 1000 L/hr
✅ Reduces grease and total suspended solids by 50-90%
✅ Reduces BOD loadings by up to 45%
✅ Biological filter removes solids down to 2 mm
✅ Manufactured from polyethylene and thermal plastics - corrosion resistant, low odour, and easy to clean
✅ Suitable for above-ground or below-ground installation, making it ideal for leased premises and tenancies that may need to retrofit or relocate down the track

Correct installation isn't just a compliance checkbox, it directly affects how well a grease arrestor performs over its lifetime. Getting the fundamentals right from day one (positioning, gas-tight sealing, gravity flow vs. pumping chamber requirements) makes all the difference for the tradespeople who'll be installing and maintaining these units for years to come.

A big thank you to Tonsley TAFE SA for hosting the unit and for the great photos of it in action.
