Abstract: A suction system comprising a suction pump (1) having at least one suction connection (2,2?,2?) and a delivery connection (3), a receiving reservoir (4) connected to the delivery connection (3), connecting pipings from a suction connection (2,2?) to a first space (7) from which a first fluid (8) should be sucked, and connecting pipings from the delivery connection (3) to the receiving reservoir (4), characterized in that the system further comprises a connecting piping (14,15,16) extending from a second space (10), from which a second fluid (11) should be sucked, to a suction connection (2,2?) of the pump (1), and comprises a device (12) disposed for causing an intermittent operation of the second fluid suction by the pump (1), responsive to the level reached by the second fluid (11) in the second space (10).
