  • 10% of the maintenance of floats
  • Can’t fail like pressure transducers – 10 year warranty
  • 10x easier than ultrasonics
  • Replaces floats or analog level devices with no wiring changes

The ideal wastewater level sensor will never run your pumps dry.

The ideal lift station level control system will always start the pumps no matter how much grease is in the wetwell.

That’s why you need the FOGRod. It works so well because it is simple – almost as simple as floats, but with much less maintenance; way simpler than ultrasonics; and can’t fail like pressure transducers.

Does it work when it covered in grease? The lift station photo on the left shows a FOGRod still working fine two months after the last clean. The installation photo on the right makes it easier to see where the FOGRod was installed in the lift station:

We see from this photo that you can’t tell by looking whether the grease will cause a problem. Sometimes a lot less grease than this will cause measurement problems. The LIT detects when level measurement is affected by grease, works around it, and gives you alarms to indicate that cleaning is necessary.

How is the FOGRod installed and how do you clean it? This lift station level device hangs from its own cable, and from the mounting bracket that is supplied with the FOGRod. The mounting bracket is bolted into the concrete or steel just under the lid.

The mounting bracket includes a cleaning pad – just pull the FOGRod through it to clean it off.

This is much easier than cleaning floats.
