Triton

Cavity drain systems manage water that penetrates the external structure and direct it to a suitable discharge point. There is permanent reliance on the cavity to collect groundwater and therefore a need for access points to allow the system to be maintained. Consideration must also be given to the impact of free lime from new concrete construction. A suitable anti-lime coating such as Triton Concrete Sealer should be applied to the structure before installation of the Platon cavity drain system to avoid obstruction to the drainage system and pumps.

Triton Aqua Channel is a PVC drainage conduit designed to control water ingress in below ground situations. It is fitted around the perimeter of the floor at the vulnerable wall/floor junction and is particularly suited for use in conjunction with Isola Platon cavity drain membranes. Water entering the building through the walls is controlled behind the Platon membrane, and diverted down to the Aqua Channel at the base of the wall. The water enters the Aqua Channel through pre-drilled drainage holes and must then be diverted to a suitable drainage point, either natural, or a sump and mechanical pump. As a general rule a minimum of one sump/discharge point is required for every 50 linear metre run of Triton Aqua Channel.

Channel Outlet: Consists of a 90° PVC bend and a PVC male coupling (with swivel action) which is fitted to the base of the Aqua Channel to allow water to be taken from it to the water collection point (sump and pump) via a 40mm OD solvent weld PVC pipe.

Channel End Outlet: Where gravity fed drainage is used, this Outlet converts the pentagonal shape of the Aqua Channel into a round aperture for connection to a 40mm pipe and allows water to be discharged into a 'P' trapped gulley or soakaway.

Rodding Eye: It is recommended that one rodding eye is installed for every 10 linear metre run of Aqua Channel to allow periodic cleaning of the drainage system.

Aqua Channel Corner Piece: To be used to join lengths of Aqua Channel conduit at corners. The Corner Piece includes an option for inclusion of a Rodding Eye.

Aqua Channel Connector: A connector to link two lengths of Aqua Channel conduit.

Aqua Channel In-line T-Piece: Enables teeing off of the conduit to dissect the floor or to discharge to a centrally located sump.

Quick and easy to install
Maximum head 7m
Pump capacity 132 litres/minute

Please Note: All pumps should be wired to their own
independent fused spur.

Triton Aqua Pump Pro Plus

The Triton Aqua Pump Pro Plus is identical to the Aqua Pump Pro system above but is supplied with two mains powered pumps. These can be plumbed to either a single discharge outlet or to two separate outlets from the sump. The second mains pump is located on the raised foot within the chamber and provides back up to the primary pump and additional capacity to the system if required.

Please Note: All pumps should be wired to their own
independent fused spur.

Triton Aqua Pump Pro Battery Back Up

The Aqua Pump Pro Battery Back Up system comprises a polyethylene sump, locking access cover, powerful submersible pump, 24v back up pump and control panel. It is designed for use where primary pump failure through mechanical fault of loss of mains power would be catastrophic. The system alerts the end user if the water rises above the normal operating level within the sump, and activates the back up pump via three separate float switches. The panel contains two trickle charged batteries.

Control panel can be located up to 20m from sump
Easy to install
Back up and mains powered pump have similar capacity
Maximum head 6.5m
Maximum pump capacity 180 litres/minute

Please Note: All pumps should be wired to their own
independent fused spur.

Pumps & Pump Kits - Aqua Pump XL Range

Triton Aqua Pump XL Sump

Triton Aqua Pump XL Sump – single pump configuration

Triton Aqua Pump XL Sump – dual pump configuration

The powerful RS55 Pump has a 550W motor and offers a 14M maximum vertical output. Shown here with Single Pump Control Panel.

Triton Aqua Pump XL

The Triton Aqua Pump XL kit can be specified for where a greater ingress of water is anticipated, where there is a greater depth to the basement or to enable the number of pumps to be reduced. The kit can be supplied in either single or dual pump configuration with a choice of three pump types which should be specified depending on the pump performance (flow and head) required.The sump features a large 450 x 450mm opening for ease of maintenance/installation, locking access cover, two pre-moulded anchor points and a split level base to provide pump height differential in dual pump configuration. The system is very versatile enabling the installer to locate inlets, discharge and cable/vent ducts to suit on-site requirements.

Auto and manual versions of the kit can be supplied. The manual version includes a single or dual assist control panel and independent float switches that fully operate the pump/s and monitor their usage.

Triton Aqua Pump Plus Kit

Triton recommends the use of two pumps in each sump to guard against mechanical failure. The Triton Aqua Pump Plus Kit comes with identical elements to the Triton Aqua Pump Kit with the addition of a second mains powered pump. This provides both back up to the first pump and increased capacity within the sump if required. To maximise capacity of the pumps they should be linked to separate discharge pipes.

Control Panels & Alarms

Mains Powered High Level Alarm (left) and Mains/Battery Powered High Level Alarm

Triton offers a range of mains and battery powered high level water alarms as well as control and monitoring panels for all configurations of pump kit. Please speak to your local Triton technical representative to discuss your specific requirements.

Single Pump Control Panel

This unit has an integral high level audible/visual mains alarm, which is activated by the pump’s float mechanism within the sump. It also records each activation of the pump and length of run time, which is ideal where unknown levels of water ingress occur and also to monitor changes in levels of ingress between service intervals.

Dipster Floats

Dipster Floats are supplied as part of a manual Aqua Pump XL kit and are wired back to the control panel to activate the pump and high level alarm.

Pump Servicing and Maintenance

In accordance with BS 8102 (2009), Type C drained protection systems should be maintained. The service period, usually every 6 - 12 months, should be agreed at the outset with the installing contractor or a specialist pump servicing company. Triton can provide details of suitable companies on request.

As an aid to maintenance, Triton supplies a ready to use Anti Lime Solution which is designed to remove lime scale and other build up within the drainage system.
