| The Aerobic Systems design provides an
efficient reliable service. Yet as with all on-site wastewater
systems, it will require periodic maintenance. Your wastewater
system will function correctly for many years with proper use
and care by following the operating instructions listed below: |
| 1. Your on-site wastewater system
should only receive typical domestic wastewater. |
| 2. Do not allow inorganic materials
(plastics, condoms, cigarette butts, feminine napkins or
tampons, etc.) to enter system. |
| 3. Do not flush disposable or cloth
diapers down toilet. Only the diapers content may be placed in
toilet and flushed. |
| 4. Do not pour cooking oil, grease,
paint or chemicals down drains or toilets that can kill
bacteria. |
| 5. Only small amounts of bleaches and
cleaning detergents for washing clothes may be disposed of into
the system. Wash loads should be spread out over the day to
prevent peak overloading. |
| 6. The system will not operate to its
maximum ability if volumetric overloading occurs, for instance
leaking toilets, faucets or excessive water usage may cause
discharge of untreated wastewater. |
| 7. Air conditioning or
refrigerator/freezer condensate drains should not be allowed
into the plant. They may enter at the pump tank or disposal
field. |
| 8. Lint from screens of clothing dryers
and washing machines should be disposed of in the trash. |
| 9. Use of a garbage disposal should be
kept to a minimum. Undigested food is very slow to degrade. A
trash tank should be installed on any system with a garbage
disposal. |
| 10. Proper use of this or any other on-site
wastewater system depends upon the proper organic loading and
the life to the microorganisms. The manufacturer is not
responsible for in-field operation of the system, other than
structural and mechanical workings of the system. Overloading
and/or abuse of the system can only be corrected by the user. |
