Maxx Family 03With the new additions to the MAXX family, Delta Membrane Systems offer a range of products that bring to the market the most secure basement pumping systems for type C (cavity drain) waterproofing.
Specifically designed for the basement waterproofing industry, MAXX technology takes an ‘intelligent’ approach in the design of the product range, resulting in optimum functionality, high levels of efficiency and ease of installation and service.
Maxx MontageIncluded in the range is the established AlertMAXX which is offered in two variants – the DMS270 for ground water and surface water applications, and the DMS269 for foul water use.
This model has been joined by the PowerMAXX which can run a standard V3 pump without mains power for up to four days, depending on the number of cycles per hour. It can sit in standby mode for over three weeks, and is virtually inaudible.
Two pumps are directly fed through PowerMaxx. If power failure occurs the pumps automatically take power from PowerMaxx which will have been fully charged during mains operation. PowerMaxx will automatically recharge when mains power returns.
Maxx Family 05This free-standing unit can be installed in any dry ventilated area, and is fitted in the main power line between the pumps and their electrical spurs, eliminating the need for additional electrical spurs.
Maxx Family 04Completing the line-up is the MessageMAXX which, combined with AlertMAXX, gives remote monitoring when residents are away from the property. Messages are sent using GSM technology, usually in text format.
All of these models are ideally suited to the range of pumps offered by Delta Membrane Systems, making the company a ‘one stop shop’ for pumping packages.
The company also offers the necessary membranes and channels to ensure damp and wet basements are turned in to warm, dry and useful spaces. Water seeping through the walls and floors meets the dimpled membranes, which direct the moisture to drainage channels and into the sumps for safe and effective evacuation from the property by using a sump-pump station.
One such sump is the Dual V3.1 sump for ground water, supplied with a single 110mm inlet. Ideally suited to situations where space is limited, this is a packaged pump station which collects ground water via perimeter channels or modular drainage using 110mm pipes and/or a clear opening to the top of the chamber.
While it is not designed for foul water, it can collect ‘grey’ water from showers and wash hand basins.
Designed for below ground applications, the chamber is made from HDPE and is able to withstand hydrostatic forces in applications where high water tables are found.
Delta Membrane Systems prides itself on the range of products it has available for the effective combating of damp in basement areas. The additions to the MAXX family are further proof of the company’s constant goal to enhance the product range.

1513 Delta - AlertMaxx rgbSpeedy installation and reliability in operation, these are a couple of the many features found in the new AlertMAXX alarms from Delta Membrane Systems. They are used in sump installations, with the new DMS270 AlertMAXX being used for ground water and surface water applications, and the DMS269 AlertMAXX for foul water use.

Just two fixings are required along with the connection of mains power and a float switch for the AlertMAXX to be fully operational. Should a power cut occur, a battery backup has been incorporated into the design to ensure constant operation.

Each model has an LED display that shows the current status, high level alarm, previous cancelled alarms, mains failure and service reminder. ‘Volt free’ contacts are included as standard for connectivity to building management systems.

As an option, a cable can be supplied to download the internal log from AlertMAXX to either a PC or iPad showing all events that have occurred in the past.

The foul water option is supplied with a robust and reliable pendant type float switch which is fixed to the pipe-work or pump, or is left free hanging using a float weight to allow correct operation.

With the ground water AlertMAXX, a ‘broken finger’ float switch is fitted to give accurate operation and allow the alarm signal to be given after pump one fails, leaving pump two (where fitted) to operate normally.

The design of the new alarms also prevents accidental deactivation, although the alarm can be muted.

A low cost telemetry – known as MessageMAXX – can also be added.
