    Protect Mclane Stadium at Baylor University

    To prevent backflow in the pumps, a WaStop Check Valve was installed in each pump. In a football stadium, stormwater is rarely free of debris. Mugs, hot dogs, packaging, and other debris eventually end up in the stormwater system. The designers were impressed by the WaStop’s pulsating flow mechanism, which ensures that no debris gets stuck in the valve and keeps the line clear of sediment both upstream and downstream.

    In addition to the three valves that protect the pumps, there is a fourth WaStop that prevents floodwater from entering the stadium’s drainage system during high tide. Two more WaStops have been installed in the nearby athletics stadium for the same reason.

    Thanks to WaStop’s patented memory membrane and pulsating flow, Baylor University and its fans can relax in the knowledge that the Bears will play no matter what the weather.
