Wastewater control panel
Basix wastewater pump control panel
The standard float-switch pump panel: industrial components, a lifetime warranty on the stepping relay, and next-day delivery from stock.
Next-day from stock
Single and dual DOL Basix panels up to 18A are on the shelf.
Lifetime relay warranty
The universal stepping relay is warranted for life. It cannot burn out like the old type.
Single or three phase
230V or 400V. Capacitor start panels for single-phase motors.
Industrial components
Schneider, Socomec and WAGO throughout.
Basix is a wastewater control panel for 1 to 6 pumps, most often single or twin, with float-switch level control. It runs on single phase or three phase, starts pumps direct-on-line, star/delta or with start and run capacitors, and is held in stock for next-day delivery. It is the panel most of our installers fit most weeks.
What you get
Schneider enclosure, contactors and overloads. A Socomec door-interlocked isolator with a shaft guide. WAGO lever terminals, so wiring is tool-free and does not loosen under vibration. Hand/off/auto for each pump, lamps for power, run, trip and high level, a high level sounder with mute, and automatic duty changeover so both pumps wear evenly.
Stepping relays, with a lifetime warranty
The stepping relay is the part that decides which pump is duty, and on older panels it is the most common failure of the lot: the trigger input sits across the coil and eventually cooks it. Basix uses a universal stepping relay, which takes its power and its trigger on separate terminals so the coil never overheats, and we back it with a lifetime warranty. If it fails, we replace it. Read why stepping relays fail in the knowledge hub.
Outdoors or in a kiosk
Ask for a glass-reinforced polyester (GRP) enclosure for outdoor use, or have the panel built into a single or double door GRP kiosk with a light and heater. Stainless steel is available at extra cost.

Pump service contractor, West Sussex
Three Telemetrix panels for West Sussex County Council's landfill pumping stations
The contractor look after the pumping infrastructure at West Sussex County Council's landfill sites under a long-term asset management contract. They fitted three wastewater high-level Telemetrix panels so the council gets live status and alerts, and maintenance can be preventative rather than reactive.

Pump specialist, Oxfordshire
A star/delta Telemetrix panel, turned round quickly for an Oxford campus
A pumping station on a university campus in Oxford needed its control panel replaced, along with the pump and the float switches. The pump specialist specified a bespoke star/delta Telemetrix panel with remote monitoring, and the whole job, panel, floats and a new 6kW Sulzer pump, was done in a morning.

Pumping station specialist, South East
Telemetrix as standard across a pump service contractor's stations
The contractor refurbishes and maintains pumping stations across the South East, and now fit Telemetrix as a matter of course: three side by side at one site, four in a single week at others, six and counting. They install them and then monitor them for their clients.
