KSB LevelControl Basic 2: Level control unit for controlling and protecting either one or two pumps.

Reliable lifting units need reliable control systems.

Single-pump lifting units for waste water without faeces are controlled by an integrated mechanical float; dual-pump units are controlled by one of KSB's LevelControl Basic 2 control units.

Depending on the design variant, lifting units for waste water containing faeces are either fitted with LevelControl Basic 1 or 2. With their many control and connection options, the control units ensure reliable, trouble-free operation of our waste water lifting units.

"Die Macherei" urban office and commercial quarter in Munich

Certified pumping power in Munich's urban office and commercial quarter

When it comes to large-scale projects, KSB is often called on to provide more than just standard products and off-the-shelf solutions. In these situations, design modifications may be needed to meet the customer’s specific technical requirements or KSB’s specialists may have to use their expertise to overcome site-specific hurdles. However, in the case of "Die Macherei" (The Makery) in Munich, KSB was able to get a new urban office and commercial quarter up and running with standard products, and even earned one of the world’s most demanding sustainability certificates in the process.
