Featured product: Engine-driven lift stations
------------------------------------------------------

When the power goes out, most people think about things like the food in 
their refrigerators -- not whether they'll be able to use the sink or 
the toilet. But since almost all lift stations are run primarily using 
electricity, when power is lost, communities need to have an alternative 
method available to ensure that the sewage keeps flowing away from homes 
and businesses. This can be done using portable pumps or electrical 
generators, but Gorman-Rupp's Auto-Start lift stations provide an even 
more integrated option, combining an engine-driven pump with automatic 
switchover back to electrical power. Auto-Start lift stations are a 
reliable means to ensure that essential community services like 
wastewater continue to operate, even when the power goes out.
