The FPS Iguazu Sump Foul Pro is a packaged pump station designed to collect foul water from basements and ground floor extensions where gravity drainage isn’t possible. It is also used in flood defence systems, or to manage external water in areas at risk of flooding.
The most common application is to collect foul water from a W.C. or utility room and discharge it to the main sewer. Built for easy installation and long-term reliability, the system is manufactured from high-grade MDPE and supplied as a complete package, including all internal pipework and a sewage pump. It can be installed internally or externally, depending on site requirements, and the discharge pipework comes complete with a non-return valve.
This is the more powerful version of the popular FPS Iguazu Sump Foul, making it ideal for larger or higher-demand installations where greater pumping capacity is required.
The Foul Pro system uses the EVAK Hippo 100 Sewage Pump, providing increased flow and head performance compared with the standard model. This pump delivers a flow rate of up to 480 litres per minute and a maximum head of 11 metres, making it suitable for larger foul drainage systems or sites with higher discharge lifts.
This system can be installed using 50mm rigid pipework and fittings secured with solvent weld, or you can simply add a hose tail to your order and use 50mm semi-rigid Suction Delivery Hose to discharge water to your chosen location.
You can see in the images how the system is connected using 50mm delivery hose, which is buried underground and neatly concealed for a tidy, discreet finish.
(Please note: due to the higher power draw of the EVAK Hippo 100, this system cannot be used with a battery backup.)
While primarily designed for foul use, the Iguazu Foul Pro is versatile and can also be used wherever gravity drainage is not viable. For harsher environments, the FPS Iguazu Sump FEKA model is available, featuring a stainless-steel pump for enhanced durability.
It’s important to select a system with the appropriate pumping power for your setup. A pump that’s too powerful may cause unnecessary cycling (switching on and off too frequently). The Iguazu’s float switch system ensures smooth, automatic operation, the tank fills and then empties once the float rises, maintaining efficient performance.
You’ll note in the images that some installations use grey solvent weld pipework (which we do not supply) and others use our green Suction Delivery Hose, which is available to purchase. You can see the system installed in a garage floor for flood water removal, as well as in external areas as a pumped drainage system, all featuring a discreet lid for a neat, unobtrusive finish.
The pump installed in the garage is designed so that if any water enters through the walls or floor (even with a flood barrier in place) it will automatically pump the water out, providing extra protection and peace of mind during floods.
Avoiding Common Sump Pump Mistakes
Here are the five sump pump mistakes we see often, read how to avoid them.
**The system is supplied as a complete ‘Plug & Play’ unit, ready for quick installation. Some on-site work will be required, including reconnecting components, drilling entry holes for cables, and routing wiring through a suitable conduit. Read our blog on Installing a Sump Pump here

The Foul pump station allows for one or two 110mm inlet (to be drilled on site) to enable a quick and easy installation.
Typical Installation Schematic:
When used regularly, the FPS Iguazu Sump Foul requires very little maintenance. The most challenging environment for any pump is when it remains unused for long periods in damp or wet conditions, as this can cause components to seize. To prevent this, the pump should be run periodically to keep it operating smoothly.
For installations where the system is infrequently used, the FEKA model is often a better choice due to its enhanced durability in harsher or intermittent environments.
Included in the gallery is a maintenance video demonstrating simple upkeep tips, such as using silicone spray to help maintain the functionality and longevity of your pump.

Watch below as we install a Packaged Pump Station into a garage floor, to assist with removing any floodwater that may enter.
In this instance, the property was suffering some water ingress into the garage through the walls, and also through a non-FPS Flood barrier.
The Sump Pump was installed into the garage floor to provide a passive solution to remove water from the garage.
