Hey Peggy!!!!!
Ok, darling David sent you the certification — here is my business info below (bottom) if you ever need me.
Address of the home is: 11111 Hickory Ridge Road, Harrisburg, NC 28075
Cell phone is 704.467.1124
Husband: Michael is 704.791.7605 (cell phone)
704.455.3995 is the home number but we are both business owners, so only home at midnight — kidding...
If the guys come out, they can look for an orange milk jug hanging on the cow fence (I'm not making this up) off Hickory Ridge
Road on the left.
Hehhaha — we had it there for the contractors to find the home.
We are a mile back on that drive — last house on that road (dirt drive).
Last note, my parents (800 yards away) have two dogs, Shepard and lab and they are big — especially the Shepard.
They are slightly territorial but I don't think they'll hurt anyone — only providing this info if any of your inspectors go alone.
We are available to you anytime to meet whoever out there if you need us too!
Thank you SO much for your help!
I'm going home to flush my toilets!!!!!!
Have a wonderful evening!

Review Comments
July 18, 2006
General .
1. Regional Office Comment, Soils Report - Provide site specific hydraulic conductivity values.
2. Calculations
a. Advantex tank buoyancy calcs - The note states that antifloatation flanges will be added to
prevent the unit from floating. These do not appear to be shown on the drawings. Provide
calculations to justify the size of the flanges and show that the soil weight is adequate.
b. All units - Show specifics of how the soil weight was calculated.
Pump tank - The safety factor is less than 1 with the water in the tank. Adjustments must be
made to show a safety factor of greater than 1.
d. Pump tank - The calculations require a2-foot burial. The plans show an 8-inch minimum lover.
Please clarify and modify as appropriate.
e. Provide system/pump curve calculations with plots for all pumps on the project. Include the
pressure reducing valve to insure that the operating point is on the pump curve.
f. Provide calculations for the dosing volume to show how the on/off elevations were determined.
Operation & Maintenance Manual, Water usage - This calls for a metered water source. This residence
is to be served by a private well. Confirm that the owner will be required to install a meter on this well.
Specifications
1. Page 3, Basis of Design - The area is listed as both 8400 fe and 12000 ft2. Please clarify.
2. Page 5, Treatment System, Part A.7 - The septic tank must be provided with risers to provide access for
pumping and filter maintenance.
3. Page 6, Drip system, Part A.1 - The leakage shall be 10 gallons per day per inch mile of pipe. The text
reads 100 gpdim.
4. The manufacturers cut sheets must be included in the specifications. Where multiple items appear on a
sheet, clearly indicate the specific product to be used on this project.
5. The Advantex Installation Guide should be a part of the specifications.
Plans
1. Sheet U-1 - The UV system must be located after the pump tank. UV leaves no residual and therefore the
waste must me treated immediately prior to disposal.

2. Sheet U-2
a. Show the location of the headworks relative to the pump tank effluent line. The pressure
reducing valve must be in this line to prevent excessive pressure on the drip field.
b. The headworks shows a 1.25-inch line in from the UV unit. The pump tank shows a
gravity line in from the UV unit. Please clarify. See plan comment 1.
C. The dosing pump is given as 6.18 gpm at 149.93 ft TDH. The calcs_ show 32.8 gpm @
146.7 ft TDH. Please clarify.
d. The pump tank shows only a 0.6 inch on/off differential. The inflow to the tank is likely
to cause a disturbance in the water surface greater than this, resulting in unnecessary
pump starts. Consideration should be given to baffling the inflow to minimize this
situation.

I visited this site on Monday. The landscape description was confirmed. The soil
borings that I made were consistent with the profiles described in the report.
Example:
0-6" dark brown loam
6-20" tan sandy clay loam
20-30" yellow tan massive clay
30-36" yellow tan weathered rock
No evidence of seasonal high water table.
One item that I failed to point out in my staff report is that the soil scientist did
not provide any site specific hydraulic conductivity values. You will probably want
this info in order to complete your review.

Re: Soil Report for Proposed Residential Surface Drip Irrigation System
Dear Mrs. Wright:
Rollans Soil & Environmental Services (RS&ES) has performed a soil/site evaluation on
Parcel 2 & Parcel 2-A (Pin# 551575884) located off Hickory Ridge Road in Cabarrus
County, NC. You indicated that Parcel 2-A was evaluated by Cabarrus Health Alliance
and determined to be unsuitable for a subsurface ground absorption system and
requested this evaluation as part of a preliminary planning process in order to
determine areas of soil, which have potential for a surface drip irrigation wastewater
disposal system (see Denial Letter). The following information details the findings of
RS&ES and provides the necessary soil/site information for a Professional Engineer
(PE) to design a surface irrigation system and obtain a permit from the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ).
The site is located in the southern portion of Cabarrus County, N.C. RS&ES utilized. the
USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service soil survey for Cabarrus County to
obtain maps and data for the soil series encountered at this site. The upland soils on the
site are most like the Enon soil series. A small portion of the designated wastewater
disposal area was determined to be most like the Mecklenburg series. RS&ES elected to
provide hydraulic data base upon the Enon series to be conservative. Profile
Descriptions are attached on NCDENR Soil/Site Evaluation Forms and corresponding
sample locations are on Site Plan. The profile descriptions were taken from nine sample
sites (Bl - B9) that ranged in depth from 48 - W. Boring locations are represented in
the field by blue flagging. Two of these borings (B2 & B3) were eliminated from the
disposal area due to soil or landscape limitations.
Expansive clay mineralogy in the subsoil of the examined area is an unsuitable
condition for subsurface disposal of wastewater. The more coarsely textured topsoil
present within the proposed area offers the opportunity for surface drip application of
treated wastewater. The slower permeability and/or high cation exchange capacity of

the subsoil prevent nutrients from being a limiting factor in the design of a drip
irrigation system. The proposed drip field boundary was flagged in the field using pink
flagging and located with a Trimble Global Positioning System (GPS). The approximate
size and shape of the potentially usable soil area is shown on the attached Site Plan.
Site conditions in the proposed disposal area are suitable for surface irrigation. The site
can be described as forested land with linear slopes that range up to approximately
12%. The attached water balance shows that the site can hydraulically assimilate 24.99
inches of irrigation water per year. This is approximately equivalent to 0.48 inches per
week. A three -bedroom house (480 gallons per day design flow) would require a
minimum of 11,160 square feet of wetted area for spray/ drip application. The
maximum instantaneous application rate should not exceed 0.2 inches per hour.
In consideration of site preparation, disturbance should be absolutely minimized on the
area to be used for drip application of wastewater. If the existing vegetation is to be
removed, then special consideration (i.e. trees removed by hand) should be exercised
during this removal process. This should be performed under dry soil conditions.
Significant disturbance to site (ruts, cutting, filling or compaction) could render the site
unsuitable for surface irrigation. Permanent vegetative cover should be established and
maintained over the entire application field immediately after installation.
Calculations
1. Maximum Instantaneous Application Rate (in/hr)
Table 1 indicates typical ranges of soil infiltf ation rates by soil texture and slope.
The surface horizon for Enon soil series falls.into the sandy loam class in the
9+% slope range. This infiltration rate is 0.15 to 0.5 in/hr. The recommended
rate is 0.2 in/hr.
2. Water Balance (Table 2)
A water balance was developed for the proposed irrigation field by
balancing water losses and gains:
Evapotranspiration + Natural runoff + Drainage = Precipitation + Irrigation
3. Water Balance Components/Data Inputs
A. Potential Evapotranspiration (PET)
PET data were obtained from the North Carolina University
Experiment Station Bulletin 396, "Weather and Climate in North
Carolina". Data for the Piedmont region was used.
B. Drainage (DR)
The drainage term was calculated by the procedure described in

US EPA 625/147--M, "Process Design Manual for Land
Treatment of Municipal Wastewater". The percolation, or
drainage rate was calculated as 7% of the permeability of the most
restrictive horizon in the soil. The rate used was 0.06 in/hr (lower
subsoil). Thus 7% of 0.06 is 0.0042 in/hr or 0.10 in/day. input for this
figure is based on 31, 30, and 28 day months.
C. Natural Runoff (NR)
Since the system is designed to operate with no runoff, only the
existing runoff is used in the calculation. This is the amount which
occurs due to rainfall events of intensities of 0.5 in/hr or more
which is about 10% or less of total rainfall.
D. Precipitation (PPT)
Precipitation data were obtained from the Cabarrus County Soil Survey.
This data was gathered from 1951-1973 at Concord, North Carolina.
Total precipitation from the 2 years in 10 column listed in the soil survey
was utilized which was 49.45 inches. The monthly totals were taken as a
percentage of this total precipitation. The yearly total was utilized to
determine average application rates.
Precipitation data utilized for this water balance are assumed to be maximum in 2 years
in 10 rainfall year withnormal distribution. Total precipitation may vary significantly
from year to year.
Specifications:
Assumed Design flow - 480 gal/day
Allowable Irrigation Rate - 0.043 gal/ft2/day (0.48 in/week) (0.0029 Whr)
Total minimum area needed for sprayfield-11,160 W (wetted area)
Maximum Instantaneous Application Rate- 0.2 in/hr
The disposal area indicated above is the minimum wetted area needed for treated
wastewater application. The usable soil area indicated on the Site Plan was flagged by
RS&ES, and calculated in Autocad to be 58,934 W . The delineated area, property lines
and a perennial stream on property should be surveyed to make sure all horizontal
setback requirements are met. The area flagged by RS&ES is more than enough area for
the proposed 4-bedroom drip irrigation septic system. The additional usable area will
give you and your engineer some flexibility on system placement.
Rollans Soil & Environmental Services is pleased to be of service in this matter and we
look forward to assisting in any site analysis needs you may have in the future. Please
feel free to call with any questions or comments.

Sincerely
Samuel A. Rollans

SECTION I - GENERAL
Shannon Wright and her husband are proposing to construct a 4-bedroom house on Parcel 2-B off Drawbridge
Drive in Harrisburg, Cabarrus County, North Carolina. Due to limited available space, soil conditions and limiting
topography, a pre-treatment system and surface drip effluent disposal system is proposed. The design flow has
been set at 480 GPD for a four bedroom residence.
Directions to the property: From Highway 49 North in Harrisburg, turn right on Hickory Ridge Road. Cross over
Rocky River Road and turn left onto unpaved Drawbridge Drive. House location is to be at very end of road on
left. The residence is to be served by an on site well located more than 100 feet from the disposal area. There are
no existing structures, septic systems or wells on the property.
Ashley Rollans, LSS with Rollans Soil Consultants, has identified the area for the proposed disposal area. An
instantaneous application rate of 0.4872 in/week has been recommended for this treatment and disposal system,
however, since additional area is available, we are reducing the application rate to 0.45 in/week. The effluent will
be pretreated using a septic tank, recirculation tank with an Orenco Advantex recirculating textile media enclosed
filter bed and UV disinfection.
These specifications and design plans have been prepared for an on -site surface effluent drip disposal system using
a septic tank, recirculating textile -media pretreatment filter w/ tank, dosing tank, UV disinfection and a three zone
drip system.
The system is designed to accept and treat domestic waste only. No other discharge is allowed, including
condensate water from HVAC systems, etc.
The Engineer has designed a textile filter and drip irrigation system that dispenses treated effluent through drip
irrigation using design criteria intended to comply with NC DEM Administrative Code 15A NCAC 2H.0200 and
15A NCAC 18A .1969, and NC DEH Onsite Section Innovative Waste Water System IWWS—2000-2 (Geoflow
Sub -Surface Drip System) and Orenco Advantex IWWS-2004-3.
Until plan acceptance and construction, the drip field site shall be maintained undisturbed. This shall include
placement of signs, ribbons and barricades to avoid traffic, storage, or parking in the area. Encroachment by any
utility or others is not permitted.
The Contractor shall be prohibited from working while the site is wet. The Contractor shall contact the Engineer
prior to commencement of work after rainfall.
The Engineer or the Soil Scientist has the right to suspend work until soil moisture conditions are favorable to
optimal installation.
The installer shall be knowledgeable of the type of system to be installed, and shall have prior instruction on the
installation of the various components of the system, and shall have the prior approval of the component
manufacturers, (Orenco) and (Geoflow), and the approval of the design engineer.

Scope of the Project: The scope of this project is to construct a system to collect the domestic waste from the
proposed facility through a gravity collection system. The waste will flow to a properly sized two -compartment
septic tank. The outlet at the second compartment of the tank will have a slotted wastewater effluent filter. From
the septic tank the effluent flows to a textile media pretreatment bio-filter, which treats and recirculates the
effluent. Effluent then flows from the bio-filter to a dosing tank and UV disinfection for dosing of the drip field.

A timer controlled pump will pump treated effluent to the drip field.
The drip dosing system will have solenoid valves, spin clean filter, flow meter, air release valves and other
apparatus and controls to allow the automatic dosing and maintenance of the system.
The pump controls will have a 24-hour clock, programmable as determined by the operator. Controls shall also
have elapsed run time clock and cycle counter for each pump. The controls shall also have manual operating
capabilities and alarms. The controls are to be located at a readily accessible location at the residence. The system
shall have a rain/moisture sensor that will override the controller to prevent dosing when rain fall amount/soil
moisture is above an operator controlled set level.

SECTION V - SYSTEM INSTALLATION
The fields shall be identified and flagged by a licensed Surveyor prior to any site construction. The areas shall be
barricaded to be protected from unauthorized vehicular traffic.
Site shall be cleared of dead trees and underbrush, which could be detrimental to the system during and after
installation. All debris by removed by system installer only. Drip irrigation lines shall be installed on contour.
Drip irrigation lines shall be installed on the ground surface after the ground surface has been cleared and
smoothed to allow for surface water to shed properly off of the disposal area. The tubing shall be installed on the
surface with care to be certain that tubing is not kinked or deformed. Prior to installation, the area shall be hand
raked smooth to drain and to prepare for installation.
No work shall be preformed on the drip field under wet conditions. "If it is too wet to plow," it is too wet to work
on drip field. The Contractor shall avoid the smearing of the wetted surface and should this occur, work shall be
suspended. After installation of the lines, the ground surface shall be shaped to allow good surface drainage to
prevent ponding of surface water. All disturbed areas shall be raked smooth and covered according to
specifications.
Drip Irrigation Tubing Storage and Handling
The drip irrigation tubing should be kept in the shade due to temperature sensitivity of the tubing and away from
exposure to direct sunlight except during the actual installation process.
Construction Sequence
Rule of Thumb: "If soil is too wet to plow," it is too wet to install the system.
1. Lay out drip irrigation field. network area with stakes and flagging to ten feet (minimum) beyond the
limits of the line. As soon as the absorption area is designated, it should be flagged, roped off and
isolated from construction traffic. This barrier should be maintained until the Owner accepts the system.
Refer to site plan for the size of absorption area and field locations. Observe all side yard, building, and
other setback restrictions.
2. Clear site of any and all man-made debris, construction materials, etc. Dispose of legally. Cut all dead
trees and underbrush in the area of disposal field flush with the ground. Do not remove any stumps with
any earth moving equipment. All remaining trees in the area shall have all branches and limbs removed
so that the canopy on the tree shall be a minimum of 8 feet above the ground surface.
3. Prior to actually beginning construction of the system, verify invert elevations of all tanks, carefully
locate, lay out and identify disposal site, manifolds and the drip piping networks, using a tripod mounted
engineer's leveling instrument to accurately establish each lateral along a level contour. (A T minimum
drip line separation must be maintained centerline to centerline.)
4. Install drip lines, piping, valves, and headworks. Ensure good bedding and cover and uniform slope as
specified. All valve boxes shall be flush with the ground and clear of debris.
5. Install septic tank, textile -media filter module, drip dosing tank and UV disinfection at elevation to
allow proper operation. The dosing tank will contain a pump and a pump enabling float switch, a
pump disabling float switch and a high water alarm float switch. The drip -dosing tank will be set at
elevation to receive gravity from the filtration. All components shall be checked and proper flow
verified.
6. Perform leak test on tanks as called for herein. Provide riser access as called for
7. Carefully backfill tanks and trenches to finish grade with clean debris free earth (no stone).
8. Install pumps, filters, fittings and floats.
9. Install control system and wire per NC Building Code and NEC. Contractor shall verify available
electrical power before ordering components. Provide and connect to properly sized and number of
breakers in the main panel board.
Final Landscaping: After the system is installed, the following should be checked to ensure that the system will
not be overloaded with excess rainwater and run-off.
(a) The drip field is prepared to shed rainwater and is free of low area.
(b) Curtain drains, grassy swales or ditches for diverting ground and surface water are properly installed.
(c) Gutter and downspout drains are directed away from the system. Any problems should be corrected before
Shannon Wright Surface Drip Page 9 May 2, 2006
Cabarrus County, NC

approving the system and finally, all disturbed area should be planted with grass according to specifications.
SECTION VI - OPERATING CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS (START-UP)
A. The system shall consist of one 1,500-gallon septic tank with slotted filter, (1) OSI Advantex AX 20 Textile -
Media containing module with cover and 1,500 gallon recirculation tank, UV disinfection and vault 3,600 gallon
drip field dosing chamber and drip field with pump, headworks, controls and other apparatus.
All components of the system shall be checked and taken through a complete test cycle in the presence of the
Owner's Engineer and to his satisfaction. If the test fails, adjustments shall be made and the test repeated until
the system is determined to operate properly.
Septic Tank: Check water level, inlet pipe, outlet pipe and slotted filter. Verify that the filter can be removed for
service.
Textile -Media Filter: Using manufacturer's instruction, become familiar with filter components and operation.
UV Disinfection: Using manufacturer's instruction, become familiar with filter components and operation.
Drip System Dosing Tank Pump control - Sequence of Operation: Effluent fills tank to level that will activate the
"Pump Enabling" float. Pump can now operate. The control panel will be set to allow the prescribed pump
cycles per day based on customer setting ofthe programmable timer. When a pump is called for service, and the
level in the dosing tank permits, the zone valve and filter flush valve will open. After an adjustable time, the filter
flush valve will close, and the system will continue to dose the active drip zone for the operator selectable time.
Dosing Cycle: All zones are dosed individually on an alternating basis so that each field is dosed once every
other dosing cycle. The appropriate zone valve opens, the Pump doses that zone for 3.02 minutes and then the
zone valve closes and the pump stops.
After an operator defined number of cycles (field adjustable prime numbers), the field flush valve and one zone
valve will open for one cycle. At the end of the dose, the pump stops and the field flush and zone valves close.
Since the flush cycle is to be set at an odd interval (prime number), the next flush cycle will fall on the opposite
zone.
The pump shall operate delivering a timer controlled predetermined dose to the designated drip field. The pump
shall also shut off when the low water level "pump off' switch is activated.
If the "high water alarm" float switch is activated, the controller shall activate audible and flashing alarm
systems. Once energized, the flashing and audible alarm unit must be shut-off manually. After installation, each
field shall be independently pressurized and the function and operating pressure checked to verify compliance
with the specifications and required wetted area shown on the Plans. System pressure is to be obtained at the
Schrader Valves located at the ends of the manifolds as shown on.the plans. The pressure and flow reading
shall be recorded for comparison with future readings. The operator cannot tell if the system is operating
properly unless he has this info.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
General: With proper operational and maintenance, the waste treatment and disposal facilities should
provide long term successful treatment and disposal of the wastewater generated by the source. It
should be emphasized that the treatment facilities, although relatively simple in concept and operation
will require attention if they are to perform properly. The operator in responsible charge should be
attuned to the possible changes in wastewater quantity and characteristics, to the operational condition
of mechanical equipment, and to weather, soil and plant conditions affecting the performance of the
drip irrigation system.
When testing, the operator shall maintain a permanent record of flow and pressure readings for
comparison of readings taken at startup. He shall have knowledge of how to maintain the system
to ensure readings stay within bounds.
Waste Characteristics: The waste treatment facilities have been designed for the treatment of a limited
volume of domestic type wastewater only. No other type of waste stream including condensate water
shall enter the system. The detection by the operator of nuisance conditions or odors reflecting the
introduction of other types of waste into the system should be immediately investigated and the source
eliminated.
Bypassing: Bypassing of wastewater is strictly prohibited by law and subject to fine.
Water Usage: The Owner/Operator shall record monthly the water consumption by recording water
meter reading. The records shall be kept on file and be retained in permanent records. Any excess
water usage shall be stopped immediately. If irrigation is to be used, a separate meter is to be installed
at the residence.
Effluent Monitoring: The effluent from the facility shall be monitored at a point prior to irrigation
every March, July and November for the following parameters: BODs, TSS, Fecal Coliform, pH,
NHs as N
System Maintenance: The Owner is responsible for the maintenance and proper operation of the
surface application sewage treatment and disposal system. The system shall be maintained at all times
to prevent seepage or discharge of sewage or effluent to surface water. The system shall be checked
monthly and the contents of the septic tank removed periodically to ensure proper operation of the
system. If seepage or other malfunctions do occur, immediate action should be taken to remedy the
problem. The Owner shall practice water conservation and maintain the system as outlined in
Ownership Responsibility.
All float switches shall be checked to determine that they are not fouled and that the proper volume of
effluent :is being pumped. Pumps should be checked to ensure that they remain submerged and are
operating properly. The alarm system shall be checked for proper operation. The "push to test" button
on the alarm should be checked. Pump maintenance should follow the manufacturer's
recommendations. All of this shall be done monthly.
Septic Tank: The septic tank represents a reliable treatment unit which, when shown a measure of
respect for its specific weaknesses, should provide years of service.
Annual inspection and cleaning of scum and sludge in the septic tank is crucial in achieving required
treatment and preservation of the surface drip fields. After initial construction, the septic tank contents
should be visually inspected annually. Upon removal of the plug in the inspection port on the septic
tank, if the thickness of scum and sludge layers combined exceeds approximately 24% of the total water
depth of the tank, and then the tank should be cleaned of its sludge and scum by a licensed septic tank
pumper. Tank shall not be pumped during wet conditions.
Slotted Effluent Filter: On an annual basis, clean and inspect the effluent filter. When washing the
filter, debris must be sprayed directed back into the septic tank and not onto the lawn. Note in
Maintenance Report.
OSI Advantex AX 20 Treatment Unit: Owner and operator shall read the attached O&M Manual for
the Advantex Treatment unit and become familiar with all of the components.

Recirculation Tank: Periodic cleaning of scum and sludge in the recirculation tank is crucial in
achieving required treatment and preservation of the surface drip fields. After initial construction, the
tank contents should be visually inspected annually. Upon removal of the riser in the inspection port on
the recirculation tank, if the thickness of scum and sludge layers combined exceeds approximately 24%
of the total water depth of the tank, and then the tank should be cleaned of its sludge and scum by a
licensed septic tank pumper. Tank shall not be pumped during wet conditions.
UV Disinfection Unit: The UV disinfection unit shall be inspected on a weekly basis and cleaned if
needed.
Pump Tank: Owner and operator shall check the water level of the pump in the tank and make sure that
the floats are not fouled and that the floats are operating properly by lifting each of the floats and
making sure that each is doing its purpose (ie. Lift alarm float and audiovisual alarm triggers at panel).
Tank shall not be pumped during wet conditions.
Pum : Operator shall read and become familiar with the pump installation and service manual for the
pump attached to this O&M Manual.
Alarm Conditions: Owner shall be aware of procedures to follow in case of alarm. Owner can
silent the alarm horn on the panel cover and contact the Certified Operator. Once the alarm is activated,
the flashing and audible alarm unit must be shut-off manually by the operator. Once the alarm has been
deactivated by the system operator, he/she shall inspect the control panel and the pump tank for reason
of activation. Once the reason for alarm activation has been discovered and corrected, the operator
shall note on the records and leave inside the panel cover for future reference.
Rain Sensor: Owner and operator shall inspect monthly to make sure that the sensor is operating
properly by spraying with water prior to a dose cycle, empty and test to see whether the pump enables
again once sensor is clear of moisture.
Drip System: System maintenance should be scheduled as called for herein by qualified properly
trained wastewater system maintenance personnel. Maintenance items should be performed monthly as
follows:
(1) Remove the spin -clean filter base and install a new stainless steel filter screen. Thoroughly
clean the used filter screen and maintain it in stock for the next scheduled system
maintenance.
(2) Manually operate drip field supply pump by opening control enclosure and placing H-O-A
selector switch in the "H" or hand operated position.
(3) Monitor and document system operating pressure from pressure gauge located immediately
downstream from 1" spin clean filter and Schrader valves located at the ends of the
manifolds. (Record pressure readings and compare with previous readings. This will provide
a good indication of the system operation.)
(4) If system is operating at design pressure return the H-O-A selector switch in the pump control
panel to the "A" or automatic operation setting.
(5) In the drain field area, remove the lids for each of the valve boxes which house the air /
vacuum relief valves. Inspect for ground water building. Clean and evacuate valve boxes as
necessary.
(6) Maintain and check the Rain Sensor to ensure proper operation. Read the attached
manufacturers cut sheet and become familiar with components.
(7) Maintain and ensure that the drip field surface drains properly. Monthly walk the drip field,
note any ponding of water and correct problem. Remove any down limbs, trees or sticks. If
any dead limbs still attached to trees, remove so that falling limbs do not damage or puncture
drip tubing.
(8) Note system maintenance and findings to Owner as required by the permitting authorities.

Under no circumstances should heavy equipment be allowed to travel over the drip fields. The area of
the drip bed shall be maintained with a natural vegetative cover to prevent erosion. No traffic shall be
allowed on top of the treatment units as they are not constructed to withstand vehicular traffic unless
installed in a traffic area.
Summary: Daily attention, routine maintenance, and common sense operation of the wastewater
treatment facilities described herein should continue to provide environmentally safe and satisfactory
mechanical performance for many years. A lack of such care will most certainly create innumerable
problems and unnecessary expense. A certified operator and a backup operator will be required prior to
the Engineer's certification of this system.
OWNERSHIP RESPONSIBILITY
It must be kept in mind that this system is designed to accept a moderate amount of wastewater (which
is called the EFFLUENT), in a minimal water absorbing soil. Conservation measures must be
undertaken by all members of the facility to minimize the volume of water entering the disposal system,
including, but not limited to, the following precautions:
1. Provide water conserving plumbing fixtures within the facility; including toilets with flush volume
not exceeding 1.6 gallons/flush.
2. Develop conservative water use habits.
3. Monitor and maintain the system as necessary for proper operation.
4. Inspect the septic tank and effluent filter annually.
5. Inspect the UV unit weekly and clean if needed.
6. Inspect the rain sensor monthly along with all other components of the irrigations system.
7. Make rapid repairs to leaking plumbing fixtures and faucets.
8. Maintain filters on an as needed or scheduled basis.
9. Maintain a natural vegetative cover over the disposal field by keeping a canopy on the trees in the
disposal area between 6 to 8 feet above ground level and keep any brush or saplings at a minimal
height so that the lines can be inspected for damage by walking the disposal area. These items
shall be removed by hand to minimize disturbance to the disposal area.
10. It is important to restrict the access to the disposal area to minimize the chances of disturbance to
the area. Verify that the minimum dual -stranded wire is clearly visible and is not damaged or
broken.

ADVANTEX° O&M MANUAL
Your Expertise Matters
As the operator and service provider of an onsite
wastewater treatment system, you play a crucial
role. Property owners, neighbors, regulators, deal-
ers, manufacturers ... all rely on your efficient
and effective work.
All onsite systems require servicing, from the sim-
plest of standard stone -trench systems to the most
complex tertiary treatment systems. Regular serv-
icing optimizes the treatment process and ensures
that onsite systems are a sustainable technology.
To make servicing easier, Orenco has configured
the AdvanTex° Treatment System and its compo-
nents to be one of the most trouble -free and serv-
ice -friendly residential treatment systems on the
market. We've also provided this O&M Manual.
In it, you'll find valuable information about ...
o The AdvanTex° System's configuration and
treatment process
Performance expectations (norms) at each stage
in the treatment process
® System components
o Routine cleaning and maintenance procedures
and frequencies
• Routine cleaning and maintenance checklist
• Testing procedures
o Troubleshooting tips
• Sample documentation
® Equipment and tools checklist
Operation and maintenance of an onsite treat-
ment system requires an understanding of all the
above information. So please read through this
entire manual first, before providing any service.
Then write in the Record of System Facts, on
the back page. Reading the manual first and
maintaining up-to-date records will save everyone
time and money in the long -run.
Also, at start-up and periodically thereafter,we
recommend that you get together with the sys-
tem user to review the Homeowner's Manual that
comes with the system, especially the "Do's and
Don'ts." This will educate the user on preventive
maintenance and on the operating and mainte-
nance responsibilities of system users and author-
ized personnel, as well as service -related obliga-
tions of the manufacturer. Meeting periodically
with the user will also allow you to track any sig-
nificant changes in the household (e.g., number
of occupants, changes in water use, use of deter-
gents, disposal of cleaning compounds, etc.).
We're very proud of the AdvanTex° Treatment
System. Like all our products, it has gone through
extensive research, development, and field-testing.
Then each component is built to written specifi-
cations and subjected to quality review, before

Treatment Process and Performance
Expectations: Processing Tank
Processing Tank
The processing tank provides primary wastewater
treatment. The tank is an enclosed, watertight
receptacle designed to collect wastewater; segre-
gate settleable and floatable solids (sludge and
scum); accumulate, consolidate, and store solids;
digest organic matter, and discharge treated
effluent. BOD (biochemical oxygen demand)
removals of greater than 65% and TSS (total
suspended solids) removals of greater than 70%
are easily accomplished.
The tank operates as a plug -flow type of reactor
(fluid and particles enter and exit the tank in pro-
gressive sequence). Wastewater separates into three
distinct layers: a floating scum layer, a bottom
sludge layer, and a clear zone in between, which is
relatively free of large solids. A pump vault with
effluent filter located at the outlet end of the tank
draws liquid effluent from the clear zone, and the
filtered effluent is dosed to the next step in the
treatment process ... the AdvanTee Textile
Filter.
Because the AdvanTexa Treatment System oper-
ates in the recirculating mode, the filtrate from
the Textile Filter returns to the processing tank in
one of two ways: to the'back (outlet end) of the
tank in Mode 1 and to the front (inlet end) of
the tank in Mode 3. This plumbing configura-
tion affects effluent quality. Effluent quality is
also contingent upon a number of other condi-
tions inside the tank
• strength and characteristics of incoming waste
(see "Raw Influent," below)
• average flows within design range (typically
40-60 gallons per person per day)
• adequate long-term solids retention for
thorough digestion
• watertightness of tank (for proper stratification
of incoming waste to prevent treatment short
circuiting and hydraulic overloading)
• proper size of tank (for minimum 24-hour
hydraulic retention time through the tank's
clear zone, at average flow rates and when
sludge and scum are developed fully)
If the above conditions are met, you can expect
the following treatment performance from the
processing tank:.

AX Series
AdvanTex® Textile Filter
The AdvanTex° textile filter provides secondary
wastewater treatment. The filter is a sturdy,
watertight fiberglass basin filled with an engi-
neered textile material. This lightweight, highly
absorbent textile material treats a tremendous
amount of wasrewater in a small space.
The AdvanTex° filter operates in the recirculating
mode, just like a recirculating sand or gravel fil-
ter, but loading rates are typically 5-20 times
higher, for a number of reasons. For one thing,
the textile media has a very large surface area —
about 5 times greater than that of an equivalent
volume of sand. Textile also has a greater void
volume (for free -flow of oxygen) and greater
water -holding capacity.
Wastewater percolates both through and between
the textile media. A visible biological film nor-
mally develops on the filter medium within a few
days. BODs and TSS reductions occur almost
immediately.
Within the filter, aerobic conditions exist that
are ideal for microbes that convert ammonia to
nitrate (nitrification). Other conditions exist, too,
that result in further nitrogen reduction within
the media. Some AdvanTex" filters are configured
(Mode 3) so that the filtrate recirculates back to
the high -carbon, low -oxygen environment at the
inlet end of the processing tank, which is ideal
for microbes that reduce nitrates to nitrogen gas
(denitrification). Harmless nitrogen gas is then
released freely back into the atmosphere. The
RX Series -
acclimation period for nitrification may range
from four to eight weeks, or longer in colder cli-
mates.
AdvanTex°' filtrate effluent quality is dependent
upon proper management of the recirdblend
effluent flowing into the filter (which, in turn,
is dependent on the conditions described on the
previous page). If proper conditions are met, and
with typical average daily flows of 40-60 gallons
per capita per day, you can expect the following
treatment performance:

Routine Cleaning & Maintenance Procedures
Orenco Systems" requires regular inspection and
maintenance of AdvanTex° Treatment Systems
as a condition of purchase. All activities are to
be performed three -to -six months after system
start-up; and an annual field -service inspection,
including sampling, is to be scheduled in late
spring or in early summer. For AXN systems,
there is to be a minimum of four inspections
during the first two years, and then annual
inspections thereafter.
Following is a list of the routine cleaning and
maintenance procedures we recommend or
require. Failure to provide required maintenance
will void the AdvanTex° Treatment System
warranty.
Copies of inspection and maintenance reports,
along with any additional documentation, must
be forwarded to and retained by the Authorized
AdvanTex° Treatment System Dealer who sold
the system. If there is no Dealer, then the docu-
mentation must be forwarded to Orenco
Systems, Inc., 814 Airway Avenue, Sutherlin,
OR 97479, ATTN: Systems Engineering.
Control Panel/Pumps/Alarms
WARNING: Only qualified/certified electri-
cians or service providers should perform
maintenance on electrical equipment.
1 Check pump operations. Place the MOA
switch (Manual, Off, Automatic) to Manual and
make sure the pump runs. Then switch back to
Automatic and continue to check the automatic
operation of the alarm floats, the recirc timer on
the floats, the discharge timer on/off, and timer
overrides. Refer to the installation, operation, and
setting instructions for the control panel that
comes with the system. A set of instructions is
stored in a plastic pocket on the inside of the
panel door.
NOTE.•
Be sure to set
the MOA
switch back
to Auto after
testing.
2 Record motor run amps and voltages on the
Field Maintenance Report Form. If the voltage
drop exceeds National Electric Code (NEC)
requirements, have an electrician verify the
service line and check pump windings.
3 Verify that the programmable timer settings
for all pumps are correct. If the timer settings
have been changed, the current setting and date
of change should be written on your Toner
Setting Instructions and Record of System Facts,
at the back of this Manual. Place the date and
your initials by the recorded change.

ADVANTEX®
O&M
MANUAL
W
4 Read and record the elapsed time meter
(ETM) and cycle counter (Cl) values (from the
panel's logic controller or from the web -based
telemetry software) on the Field Maintenance
Report Form.
ETM's and CT's are valuable troubleshooting
tools if problems occur with the system. ETM
and CT data signal high water usage, low water
usage or tank leakage, and excessive pumping,
among other operating situations.
5 Confirm operation of audible and visual
alarms per the installation, operation, and setting
instructions for the control panel that comes with
the system.
Pumping System
Pump systems should be inspected annually to
ensure that they are operating properly. Unscrew
the stainless steel bolts that fasten the fiberglass
lid over the pumping equipment. Remove the
fiberglass lid for an inspection that includes these
steps:
1 Verify that there are no obvious holes or leaks
in the riser or around the perimeter of the riser
connection to the tank. Wetness or water marks
may be an indication of weeping.
2 Inspect splice box to ensure lid and connec-
tions are secure.
3 Verify that floats are in good condition and
properly secured to the float tree. Verify that float
cords are neatly wrapped inside the riser so that
they cannot interfere with the operation of the
floats.
4 Verify float operation. With MCA switch in
Automatic, simulate system operation by lifting
the floats in the same order that the liquid would
lift them (bottom first, top last).
5 Determine whether the Biotube° effluent
filter needs cleaning by testing the change in the
tanks liquid level when the pump is on. Turn the
recirc pump on by flipping the MOA switch in
the control panel to Manual. Watch the liquid
level inside the screened vault as the pump
is running for about 30 seconds to deter-
mine if there is any noticeable liquid level
differential between it and the tank liquid
level. Return the MOA switch to Auto. When
the liquid level difference between the inside and
outside of the vault is about two inches or more,
or if the low-level alarm is activated, the Biotube°
cartridge may need to be cleaned.

ADVANTEXO O&M
MANUAL
If the Biotubeo needs cleaning, do the following:
Turn circuit breaker off at service panel
• Switch MOA and circuit breakers in control
panel to "Off
• Slide Biotube° cartridge out of vault
o If necessary, the RSV valve may be removed to
allow room in the riser for cleaning the
Biorube°
— Pull RSV out of its Quick Disconnect hol-
ster (see photo next page) and place it in a
plastic trash can
— Hose off the trash can into the tank after
replacing the RSV
NOTE: Refer to RSV installation instructions
for details on how an RSV works.
• Hold Biotube° cartridge over open inlet of tank
or primary compartment
o Carefully spray build-up into tank
® If there are significant solids in vault, remove
and clean it too
6 Pull the pump and place it on a cleanable
surface, like the riser lid, or in a plastic trash
can. Check the intake screen; wash off particles
as necessary. Record the kinds of particles
(cigarette butts, hair, lint, gum, kitty litter,
cloth wipes, grease build-up, etc.) on the Field
Maintenance Report form. Report findings
to user (for education).
7 Visually inspect the Recirculating Splitter
Valve and verify that the liquid level in the tank
is within the normal range. If low, the ball mech-
anism could be jammed in the seated position.
Remove, disassemble, and inspect. If high, the
RSV may require cleaning because it is not mak-
ing a tight seal when seated. Remove, disassem-
ble, and inspect.
NOTE: The figure below shows the RSV adja-
cent to the inlet of the processing tank, which is
typical for Mode 3 systems (Mode 1 systems
have the RSV in the second compartment of the
tank — the Recirc Chamber). To read dimen-
sional specifications, see full-sized drawing in
Installation Guide, Appendix 2.
Processing Tank
1 If possible, verify no inlet flow when all house-
hold appliances are turned off. Access the inlet
inspection port for visual verification of lack of
flow. If the inlet inspection port is not readily
accessible, then listen for trickling water at the
access port. This could indicate faulty fixtures or
leaky plumbing. Check building sewer cleanout
for flow.

ADVANTEX19 O&MMANUAL
19
If faulty plumbing isdt the problem, the sound
of trickling water could indicate 1811 (infiltra-
tion and inflow) from ground or surface water.
In that case, further investigation is necessary.
2 Inspect the processing tank for the following -
Liquid depth (should be about 60-70% of the
total inside depth of the tank)
• Odor (should be -musty, not pungent)
• Color/consistency of scum (should be dark
brown with a consistency that varies from
dense and crusty to soft and amorphous)
• Effluent characteristics (should be no oily sheen
or foam)
Sludge and scum thickness (records should indi-
cate -typical growth accumulation of I" of scum
and 2 of sludge per year for 3-4 occupants)
Measurements of solids accumulation help to
determine when the septic tank needs pumping.
A recommendation for pumping should be made
when the bottom of the scum layer is within
3" of the flow -through port of the baffle or when
there is an accumulation of sludge to a depth
within 6" below the flow -through port. After the
first year's measurement of septic tank sludge and
scum thickness, measurements only need to be
taken about every three years, until the thickness-
es approach their maximum depths.
Textile Filter
1 Inspect for ponding.* The filter should not be
saturated. Effluent should move freely through
the media.
2 While manifold is pressurized, check for prop-
er positioning of orifice shields over each orifice.
* If there is ponding in the tactile filter because of a build-
up of oil and grease, scrape a sample of the biomat and
have it analyzed by an environmental lab to determine its
charactejxstic: For the IiX Series filter only: If there is,
ponding of indeterminate cause, coupled with a pungent
odor, it may be necessary to clean the textile media
(Excessive cleaning will retard nitrification. Only dean as
often as necessary.) The tactile media hangs in individual
sheets, and these sheets can be pulled out for cleaning (if
necessary). First, remove the Recirculating Sputter Valve.
Use a hose or pressure washer, connected to the nearest
spigot. Wash the biomat into the underdrain and it :vill
flow back to the tank, as long as the Recirculating Splitter
Valve has been removed When done, replace RSV.
Remember: clean filter only ifponding and odor occta:

ADVANTEX® O&M MANUAL
3 Verify that there is equal spray on and under
all orifice shields. (Each orifice shield should
show signs of organic biomat build-up on and
underneath it.)
4 Check for clogged orifices (orifice shields with-
out spray or biomat build-up underneath). You
should be able to observe uniform water droplets
dancing around orifice shields while dosing.
5 Assess the character and color of the biomat. If
it seems appropriate, take a photo and comment
on the growth and characteristics of the biologi-
cal mat under and around the orifice shields.
Biomats are natural and normally appear light -
brown to dark -brown and gelatinous in texture.
If the mat appears too light (yellowish with the
texture of lard, wax, or margarine), the grease
and oil concentrations should be checked.
6 Check the odor emitting from the filter. If a
strong or offensive odor (e.g., smell of rotten
eggs, rotten cabbage, etc.) is emitted; measure the
DO level in the filtrate and recirculation cham-
ber and adjust the recirc time, if necessary.
(Normally, systems will smell musty, earthy, or
moldy but not pungent).
7 Check squirt height and compare residual pres-
sure against the start-up value. This may take
longer than just cleaning and flushing the mani-
fold, but will help establish frequenry of cleaning.
If the squirt height is 40-50% higher than the
start-up value, clean and flush the manifold. (A
50% increase in squirt height signals approximate-
ly 18% orifice blockage.) To flush laterals you can
run the pump or use a bottle brush or pressure
Flushing with pump
Flushing with pressure
washer or bottle brush
washer. Brushing or pressure washing is best.
(When flushing AX laterals, biosolids slough into
the bottom of the filter, then return to the tank.)
Verify again that all orifices are clear. Re -check
squirt height.
8 For the RX Series filter only, verify ventilation
fan operation and air flow. Use an anemometer
(available through Orenco) to measure the air
flowing through the system. 10-15 cubic feet per
minute (cfm) per pod is typical. Record inlet flow
and outlet flow, where applicable, to ensure there
isdr a large difference between them. A large
difference means that leaking or bypassing is
occurring. Clean vent pipe as necessary.

Effluent Testing Procedures
Orenco Systems° recommends regular testing of
effluent from AdvanTex® Treatment Systems as
part of system maintenance. Copies of test results
and additional comments/documentation must
be forwarded to and retained by the Authorized

Protocol for Sampling, Testing,
and Analysis
Sampling Locations — For residential systems,
sample the discharge filtrate at the filtrate splitter
valve. This location is illustrated on your system
drawings. Pull the RSV out of its Quick
Disconnect holster and lay it on a flat surface.
Take the sample at the RSV inlet. (Dont run the
pump manually to force a quick sample. Take the
sample during normal system operation.)
Sampling Schedule — Typically schedule full-
scale annual sampling events for spring.
Sampling and Storage Methods — Sampling
equipment, minimum sample size, and storage
procedures should conform to those recommend-
ed in the most current edition of Standard
Methods for the Examination of Water and
Wastewater, American Public Health Association
(APHA), available from the Water Environment
Federation, 1-703-684-2400.
Analytical Methods — Analytical methods
should conform to Standard Methods, cited above.
Routine Tests, Frequencies,
and Typical Values
While regional requirements vary, Orenco recom-
mends that the following effluent tests be per-
formed three -to -six months after system start-up;
and an annual field -service inspection, including
sampling, is to be scheduled in late spring or in
early summer. For AXN systems, there is to be a
minimum of four inspections with sampling dur-
ing the first two years, and then annual inspec-
tions with sampling thereafter.
These tests can be performed in the field; they
cost very little and do not require lab work.
However, they are very useful in assessing system
performance and maintenance.

Troubleshooting Biotube® Filter
Clogging
If a visual inspection of the Biotube° filter for
biomass build-up shows the need for cleaning
more often than once every 1-2 years (which
is typical for recirculating systems), try the
following:
® Verify the pump isn't running too long
(typically 3 cycles/hour)
• Ensure the recirc ratio isn't too high
© Verify normal DO levels; if high, reduce
recirc ratio
• Check for below normal influent flows
Check influent Grease & Oil and TSS; if
excessive, a review of component sizes may
be required
Troubleshooting Oily Film
All signs of oil or grease anywhere in the system
(in the tank, in the vault, on the effluent or tex-
tile filter) must be investigated. Ask the system
user to identify the probable source:
Recent change of car oil?
Canning meat or poultry?
Excessive use of garbage disposal?
® Excessive use of bath or mineral oils?
(Jacuzzi" tub?)
Excessive use of detergents?
If the system user can't identify the probable
source, try the following.
Sample/test effluent for BODS and Grease
& Oil
® Sample/test at all process steps, including
influent (if possible)
• Label, date, and photograph all samples
Use standard glass beakers and set samples in
front of a common, uniform background,
when photographing
® Check biomat accumulation at AdvanTex®
Filter
a Note if biomat is yellowish and wax -like or
lard -like
a If so, scrape biomat sample for analysis
• Photograph/doeuriient biomat sample
Send to lab with effluent samples
Note: Excessive Grease & Oil (>25 mg/L) is
typically a design and management concern with
commercial applications.
Troubleshooting Foam
Foam indicates that microbes are producing
excessive gas byproducts. Foam rarely occurs in
packed bed filters (and AdvanTexO is a packed
bed filter). If foam is present:
o Verify the pump isn't running too long
Ensure the recirc ratio isn't too high
Ask residents about detergent use

ADVANTEX® O&M MANUAL
O&M For Nitrogen Reduction
AdvanTee Treatment Systems do an excellent
job of reducing nitrogen, especially in the Mode
3 configuration, where Total Nitrogen* is typical-
ly reduced to 10 mg/L or less. Because many
people purchase AdvanTeio for its nitrogen
reducing capabilities, and because nitrogen
reduction is a complex, many -staged process, it's
important to understand the process, its related
factors, the signs of effective nitrogen reduction,
and how to keep the process optimized.
It's also important to know the Total Nitrogen
limits required by the system user's.permit. Some
regulatory agencies have no requirement; some
require a specific percentage reduction of a cer-
tain kind of nitrogen (90-95% nitrification of
ammonia nitrogen, for example); and some
require that Total Nitrogen be reduced to levels
at or near drinking water quality at the point of
final dispersal.
Finally, because influent characteristics greatly
affect the amount of nitrogen reduction possible
from any given system, it's vital to know the
alkalinity of your waste source and the local/
regional norms for organic and ammonia
nitrogen.
The Process
In nitrogen reduction, ammonia is converted to .
.nitrate and then reduced through bacterial action
to nitrogen gas, which can be released harmlessly
to the atmosphere. Optimum nitrogen reduction
requires the following:
• Adequate alkalinity of approximately 250±
mg/L or higher (lab test shows levels)
• pH of 6-8
o Filtrate DO level of 2.5-8 mg/L; Process tank
DO level of <1 mg/L
• Adequate time for the nitrifying bacteria to
develop (one to three months)
• Adequate temperature (below 40' F retards
the process)
• Good organic removal
For a thorough description of the nitrogen reduc-
tion process, see the Appendix, page 28. In resi-
dential wastewater, the ammonia level is typically
about 60 mg/L and the Total Nitrogen level is .
typically about 65 mg/L.
Signs of Effective. Nitrogen
Reduction
Service providers fiequendy ask us, "How do I
know if my wastewater treatment system is
reducing nitrogen?" A thorough description of
key indicators is included in the Appendix.
Following is a brief summary:
• Clear, odorless filtrate effluent (a "see and sniff"
test is generally considered sufficient)
• Normal -looking biomat on the textile filter
(light -brown to dark -brown and gelatinous in
texture)
Additional Filtrate Tests
Will Show...
• Typically, low BODs and high clarity
• DO of 2.5-6 mg/L and odorless or odor that is
not a nuisance
• Relatively low ammonia and high nitrate levels,
since nitrification converts ammonia to nitrate
Troubleshooting Nitrogen
Reduction
If you suspect that the System is not meeting
expectations for nitrogen reduction, troubleshoot
each of the critical factors that contribute to opti-
mum nitrogen reduction, to determine a cause.
Filtrate Alkalinity Too Low
Available alkalinity determines the degree of
nitrification possible for any wastewater treatment
system, because it takes 7.14 parts allcalinity to
nitrify 1 part ammonia.
r Total Nitrogen is the sum of o?ganic and ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, and nitrite nitrogen.
(TN=ON + NH3-n + NO3-n + NO2-n ... or... T/V= TKN--n + NO3-n + NO2-n)

ADVANTEX® O&M
MANUAL
iii
rP
If filtrate alkalinity is too low:
• Check the recirc ratio; a high recirc ratio
increases alkalinity consumption*
• Check influent TKN or ammonia levels and
source alkalinity
If a large quantity of nitrification is required, it
may be necessary to add a buffering compound
to the system, to raise alkalinity levels.
Filtrate pH Too Low
A pH level of <6 retards microbial activity of all
kinds, including denitrification. If the filtrate pH
level is too low:
• Check influent alkalinity level (pH drops when
too much available alkalinity is consumed)
• Check recirc ratios; reduce if too high*
• Ask system user about chemical discharges into
. the system, including carpet cleaners, chlorine,
and photo developing agents
Filtrate DO Levels Outside 2.5-6 mg/L
Range
If your filtrate DO is too low (indicating insuffi-
cient oxygen), you may experience periodic sul-
fide odors during dosing events, or perhaps a
more lasting smell within the filter pod. Try the
following.
• Check for surface clogging/ponding and clean
as necessary
• Check airflow in the ventilation fan assembly
(RX only)
• Check the recirc ratio; if its too low (<3:1±)
increase as necessary*
If your filtrate DO is to_ o hiah (indicating
excessive aeration), it's likely that excessive
recirculation or insufficient hydraulic retention
time are factors. Try the following:
• Decrease the recirc ratio*
High Filtrate Ammonia Levels
Because ammonia is consumed during nitrifica-
tion, high ammonia levels are a sign that some-
thing is remiss. Try the following:
• Check for surface clogging/ponding and clean
as necessary
• Check for sufficient aeration (measure DO)
• Ensure no blockage of air flow into textile filter
(indicated by thick biomat development or a
build-up of grease and oils)
• Ensure no blockage in the manifold, causing...
— Localized hydraulic overloading, saturation
— Short circuiting.
• Check for sufficient alkalinity; if insufficient,
consider supplemental buffering. Call Orenco
Engineering for assistance, if necessary.
Low Filtrate Nitrate Levels
Residential packed bed filters normally yield 95+
percent nitrification (ammonia to nitrate).
Therefore the ammonia levels in the filtrate
should be low and the nitrate levels higher. Some
denitrication typically is experienced through the
packed bed filter. So the normal nitrate level may
vary. Be sure you are familiar with the mode of
operation, as some AdvanTex° modes are config-
ured to produce lower nitrate levels. If it appears
that nitrification is dropping off:
• Check the recirc ratio; adjust as necessary*
(high recirc ratios may drive pH too low for
effective nitrification/denitrification and low
recirc ratios may not provide sufficient
aeration)
• Verify incoming ammonia levels
• Check recirc/blend for sufficient organic food
source (high BOD — see Table, page 6 — may
cause greater oxygen demand through the filter,
reducing nitrification)
Adequate Time and Temperature
Nitrifying bacteria require one to two months to
develop, and extremely cold temperatures (below
400 F) retard that process. If the AdvanTex°
Treatment System has been installed in a very
cold climate, nitrification may not "kick in" for
several months until warmer temperatures are
reached. Typically, a June -September installation
provides the necessary temperatures for a 30-60
day nitrification start-up time. Once nitrifiers
colonize, they typically continue to nitrify
through normal winter conditions. Only in
severely cold regions should additional. insulation
be necessary.
"Keep in mind that a recirc patio that's too high can generate a highly, aerobic biomatgrowth on the pump filter; and
a recirc ratio that's too low can tend to liberate periodic odors during dosing events. So search far the optimum ratio
(Opicallly between 3 and 5.1)

Appendix: The Nitrogen Reduction Process
and Key Indicators
The Process
Nitrogen removal (or "nitrificarion/denitrifica-
tion') is. a biochemical process in which ammo-
nia is converted to nitrate (nitrification) (2NH3
converts to 2NO3 + 3H2O) and then reduced
through bacterial action (denitrification) to nitro-
gen gas, which can be released harmlessly to the
atmosphere.
During the nitrification process, about 9 parts
oxygen are consumed in converting 2 parts
ammonia to nitrate. Therefore, depending on
the concentration of ammonia, a considerable
amount of air may be needed. Other processes,
like biological (BOD) reduction, may occur
simultaneously and further elevate the demand
for aeration, especially if the organic level is
suitably high.
In an abundance of air, all the aerobic or faculta-
rive microbes compete for their share of oxygen.
When the organic concentration is high, the
microbes that oxidize organic matter, primarily
the heterotrophic bacteria, are aggressive and
tend to outcompete other microbes for the avail-
able free oxygen in solution. The oxidation of
ammonia is accomplished by autotrophic bacte-
ria, which do not have as aggressive of a growth.
rate, so if there isnt an abundance of oxygen,
nitrification suffers. Consequently, the nitrifica-
tion process usually lags until the organic concen-
tration is depleted or until sufficient oxygen is
present. At a 2.5:1 BOD/TKN ratio, the nitri-
fiers may only make up about 10 percent of the
microbial population. At 0.5:1 BOD/TKN, the
nitrifiers make up about 35 percent of the popu-
lation.
In a filtering process, the filter column must be
deep enough, or the filter media must be efficient
enough at filtering organic particles, to deplete
organic concentrations to a level in which a suffi-
cient population of nitrifiers will be sustained.
The physical (dimensional) features of the filter
will vary depending on the medics characteristics
— void ratio, moisture holding capacity, and
effective surface area per unit volume ratio.
Tankage, surge capacity, application rates, and
loading characteristics are other design considera-
tions that play a role in the sizing of the filter unit.
Performance Indicators
To judge the nitrogen -reducing performance
(or potential) of any wastewater treatment
system, be sure to check the following perform-
ance indicators:
Clear, Odorless Effluent
Simple, see and sniff' tests can be performed
easily in the field. Effluent from packed bed
filters (recirculating textile filters, recirculating
sand filters, intermittent sand filters) that are
performing well should be clear (with turbidity
<_20 NTUst) and odorless.
Tests for Ammonia and Nitrate Nitrogen
If your system is oxidizing ammonia to nitrate
(nitrifying), lab tests should measure relatively
low ammonia levels and relatively high nitrate
levels in the filtrate. Because nitrification
responds to many and varying conditions within
the aerobic treatment processes, ammonia and
nitrate nitrogen levels in the filtrate are the most
ideal constituents to watch for any changes in
performance. Start-up times can be plotted,
optimum recirc ratios can be gauged, cleaning
frequencies can be predicted, and nonvisible
clogging or saturation detected by watching
either of these constituents.
BOD
The nitrification process requires oxygen,
which is why nitrification is enhanced when
BOD is extremely low. Measures of filtrate
BOD should be <15 mg/L, although higher
BOD may not necessarily correlate with low
levels of nitrification.
Dissolved Oxygen
Dissolved oxygen also provides critical informa-
tion with which to diagnose how well a system
is performing. Measures of Dissolved Oxygen
should be in the range of.2.5 to 6 mg/L. If the

ADVANTEX® O&M MANUAL
DO level drops, the degree of nitrification will
normally drop as well, which could be a sign
of blinding or saturated flow conditions — any-
thing that might inhibit free air from flowing
into the system. (Though it's quite possible to
have low filtrate DOs and still have high effluent
quality, as measured by BOD and TSS levels.)
Biological Growth on Filter
With "fixed film" treatment systems, biological
growth on the filter media is natural. The biomat
should appear light -brown to dark -brown in
color and gelatinous in texture.
Influent Characteristics
Influent characteristics will greatly affect the
amount of nitrogen reduction that is possible
from any wastewater treatment system.
PH: For normal residential nitrogen loads,
PH typically_needs to be 6-8.
Alkalinity: Alkalinity is essential for nitrification.
For each part ammonia that is nitrified, 7.14
parts alkalinity are consumed (buffering the
acidity caused. by the release of hydrogen ions).
Consequently, if the degree of nitrification is less
than expected, it could simply be that there isn't
sufficient alkalinity to support more. Typical resi-
dential nitrification requires alkalinity above 250±
mg/L for recirculating processes and double that
for single pass processes. Many wastewater streams
do not have suff[cient alkalinity to support complete
nitrification.
Wastewater streams without sufficient alkalinity
to support complete nitrification may, depending
on the type of process, cause a depletion in the
alkalinity to the point where the pH correspond-
ingly drops to a level that causes the microbial
activity to degrade (<6±). Recirculating the efflu-
ent helps, since half the alkalinity can be restored
in the recirc or process tank, wherever denitrifica-
tion occurs (and adjusting the recirc ratios may
also bring the pH back to preferred operating
levels). But wastewater streams that are alkalinity -
starved can't provide for 100% nitrification.
The use of low flush fixtures requires special
consideration. Low flush fixtures tend to reduce
hydraulic loads, which causes elevation of
wastewater constituents (i.e., BOD, TSS, TKN,
etc.). In this case, the available alkalinity in the
water -supply may not be adequate to accomplish
the fill level of nitrification desired.
These constraints exist for all wastewater treat-
ment operations, regardless of whether the
operation involves a suspended growth contact
stabilization process or an attached growth
packed bed filter. Packed bed systems will per-
form better, especially if they have a large
attached growth surface area per unit volume
ratio, because of the micro -sites near the attached
side of the biomat, where denitrification typically
occurs, returning some of the alkalinity. Textile
packed bed filters, because of their large surface
area per unit volume ratio, tend to perform even
better. Nevertheless, additional buffering may be
necessary to accomplish the level of nitrification
desired.

How to Clean Your Effluent Filter
To ensure your effluent filter is functioning properly, it should be inspected every year. Under normal conditions, your
effluent filter will function for several years before cleaning is necessary. The filter should be cleaned when it becomes
clogged enough to restrict normal flows out of the septic tank. At a minimum, the filter should be cleaned whenever the tank
is pumped.
Most people prefer to have a septic tank service provider take care of filter maintenance and cleaning. You can find a
septic tank service provider in the Yellow Pages, under °Septic Tanks & Systems." Or you can contact your county health
departmentfor a list
If you wish to inspect and/or clean your effluent filter yourself, be sure to dress properly. Wear full-length pants and shirt,
shoes, gloves, and goggles or glasses. Then follow these instructions:
Remove the access lid to your septic tank by unscrew-
ing the stainless steel lid bolts with hex head wrench
provided. If your lid is above ground, it will be easy to
find. If it is buried below ground, find the marker that
indicates its location.
2. Remove the filter cartridge by grasping the tee handle
and lifting it out of its housing (see photo 1).
3. Spray the cartridge tubes with a hose to remove any
material sticking to them (see photo 2). Ensure the three
orifices in the optional flow modulation plate inside the
filter are clear of any debris. Make sure the rinse water
runs back into the tank, but do not allow solids material
to fall into the open filter housing.
4. Firmly place the cartridge back into the housing.
5. Some effluent filters come with an alarm that activates
when the filter needs cleaning. If you have an alarm,
check to make sure it is working by lifting the float
with a stick An audible horn should sound. The alarm
panel is normally mounted on the side of the house or
in the garage.
Note: If your effluentfifter doesn't have an alarm system
and you would like one, call your local septic system
installer.
6. Record the date that you inspected and/or cleaned
your filter on the form that follows. If you checked the
alarm or made any other observations about the tank
or system, include that information under "Notes."
7. Attach access lid by placing it on the riser, matching
the openings in the lid with the bolt catches. Insert lid
bolts into catches and tighten with hex head wrench
provided.

Pump Installation and Wiring Diagram
1. Submersible effluent turbine pumps may be installed in any
application where relatively clear effluent, such as from a dosing
tank or high head STEP system etc., is being pumped.
2. Pumps should always be installed vertically. Pumps should
never be installed horizontally.
3. Because of their low temperature rise, pumps under 2 HP do
not require a flow inducer sleeve.
4. Mount the junction box in its permanent position.
5. Run prewired conduit, or equivalent submersible cable from
the junction box to a fused disconnect or, if applicable, the control
panel.
6. Feed the pump power cord and float switch cords into the
junction box.
7. Make the connections in the junction box using the wiring
diagrams below. If you are using a control panel or a filtered STEP

system, follow the wiring diagrams and instructions included with
them.
8. An alarm should be used with any system using a pump.
Follow the wiring diagram with the alarm for installation and check
your local codes.
9. Run the appropriate power to the control panel from a fused
(circuit breaker) disconnect. The appropriate power supply infor7
mation may be found on the pump nameplate.
10. To provide a suitable ground, a separate ground wire (green or
bare) at least as large as the line conductors is required. It is con-
nected from the electrical disconnect box to the control panel, to
the junction box and to the green ground wire of the submersible
motor lead.
11. Always disconnect all power when installing or servicing the
pump.

WASTEFLOW lines carry the water into the dispersal/reuse area. Wasteflow lines are connected to the supply and return with Compression or Lockslip fittings. Standard
spacing between lines and emitters is 24" on center. The dripline has nojoints that may pull apart during installation and is ideal for tractor mounted burying machines. It
is sold in 500-ft rolls. For export 400-m rolls are available. Rolls of alternative lengths may be special ordered.
Wasteflow dripline features:

The risk of root intrusion with an emitter slowly releasing nutr ient rich effluent directly into the soil is well known to anyone who has observed a leaking sewer pipe.
Geoflow has an exclusive license for rootguard, to protect emitters from root intrusion. Rootguard carries a 10-year warranty against root intrusion.
b) Turbulent flow path
Wasteflow drip emitters are pre -inserted in the tube 6",12" or 24" apart with 24" being the most popular. Angles in the emitter flow path are designed to cause turbulence
in order to equalize flow between emitters and keep the emitters clean. Geoflow emitters boast large flow paths, which, coupled with turbulent flow, have proven over the
years to be extremely reliable and dependable.
c) Antibacterial
Geoflow's Wasteflow has an inner lining impregnated with a antibacterial, Ultra Fresh DM -SO, to inhibit bacterial growth on the walls of the tube and in the emitter.
d) Wasteflow Classic and Wasteflow PC Dripline
For Wasteflow Classic the flow rate delivered by the emitter is a function of the pressure at the emitter. Wasteflow PC will have a constant flow rate at all pressures from
7 to 60 psi - to ensure a long life the recommended operating range is 10 to 45 psi.
WASTEFLOW Classic Specification
The dripline shall consist of nominal sized one-half inch linear low density polyethylene tubing, with turbulent flow, drip emitters bonded to the inside wall. The drip emitter

2. Controllers
Controllers are used for time dosing and auto -flushing of the filter and dripfields. GEO controllers include a programmable logic control interface for field modifications.
They can be used on systems ranging in size from one to four zon es at the time this manual was printed. All controllers include a surge arrestor, elapsed time meter
and counter. For larger systems please inquire about our Wasteflow Manager controller that has monitoring and telemetry capabilities.
Controller Description
The following have been used in the standard GEO controller. Refer to paperwork supplied with controller for more detailed operating instructions.
Panel Components:
Programmable logic module for timing and controls.
Contactor and circuit breaker for pump (see panel description for max hp ratings and other specifications).
Hand -Off -Auto (H-O-A) switches for pump and valve operation.
Connections/contacts for normally closed 24 VAC valves. (Contacts for normally open valves special order)
Elapsed time meter and cycle counter for pump monitoring built in to PLC.
Circuit breaker for control power.
Surge arrestor for lightening protection.
12" x 10" NEMA 4 X fiberglass enclosure.
Float functions:
Redundant Off and Low level Alarm Float. It is a secondary off float that will prevent the operation of the pump if the timer on and offfloat fails. This float turns off
the pump when lowered. Pumping will be disabled in both the aut omatic and manual modes. This float also activates the audible and visual alarm. Pressing the
illuminated PUSH TO SILENCE button will silence the audible alarm. The alarm light will remain on until the float is raised. When raised, this float will enable operation
of the pump. Timer On & Off float. Activates timer. Timer will control pump cycles, beginning with the off mode.
Over -ride timer On & Off float. Activates the over -ride timer. Over -ride timer will control pump cycles. The over -ride timer will finish at least one complete cycle
even if the over -ride float drops.High-level alarm float. Activates the audible and visual alarm when raised. Audible alarm may be silenced by pressing the illuminated
PUSH TO SILENCE button. The alarm light will remain on until the float is lowered.
NOTE We recommend the use of normally open mercury control floats.
Pump and Valve Operation:
Pump dosing cycles are controlled by the timers when the H-O-A switch is in the auto position. Under normal conditions the "primary" timer will control the pump.
During high flow conditions, the over -ride timer will control th a pump. The over -ride timer will cycle the pump more frequently than the primary timer The pump will
dose for the same amount of time but the time in between doses, or the over -ride timer "off time", will be one half that of the primary timer "off time". (For example,
if your primary timer settings are one hour fifty-four minutes o ff and five minutes on then your over -ride timer settings would be approximately fifty-five
minutes off and five minutes on.)
The Vortex Filter flush valve will open for 1 minute (field adjustable) at the end of the pump cycle to allow the filter to self -flush. When the Vortex Filter flush is complete,
the pump will remain activated for 15 seconds (field adjustable) to accommodate the opening of the field flush valve.
The field flush valve will open during the 15 seconds the pump i s still activated after filter flush cycle. After the pump is deactivated the flush valve will remain open for
one minute (field adjustable) to allow for drainage of the return line.
For severe freezing conditions allow adequate time for the mani fold to drain completely.
To periodically flush the dripfield, after 10 dosing cycles (field adjustable) the pump will operate for 5 minutes (field adjustable) with the field flush valve opened and
the field flush valve will stay open until all zones have been f lushed. This operation will also occur after a power outage.
Wiring Control voltage input is 115 VAC for all GEO 1 and GEO 4 series panels. Output to valve(s) is 24 VAC
3. Pumps
Wasteflow dripfields depend on pumps to supply effluent and pressure to the field. These must be sized according to flow and pressure requirements. Look for effluent
pumps from a dependable source. Geoflow does not endorse a sing le manufacturer, but does advocate you use a pump that is readily serviced in your area.
4. Filters
Geoflow systems use a self-cleaning Vortex Filter with a stainless screen 150 mesh / or 100 micron filter element The self-cleaning action is efficient over a range of flow
rates depending on the filter size. The clean -out port is at the base and can be opened and closed manually or automatically. [fusing a manual flush valve, please
keep the valve cracked open slightly at all times for continuous flushing. The controllerwill fully open automatic flush valves.

Supply Manifold
This carries the water from the dosing tank to the dispersal area. Rigid PVC is usually used and must be designed to slope back to the pump tank in freezingconditions.
The velocity in the manifold should be between 2 feet per second and 5 feet per second (fps). Refer to PVC pipe sizing chart in the appendix to determine the best
ameter for your application.
6. Return Manifold
i order to help clean the system, the ends of the drip lines are connected together into a common return line, most often made of rigid PVC_ This line will help equalize
ressures in the system. Flushing should be done frequently during the installation period. Periodic flushing under full system pressure will guarantee along system life.
-ie return manifold should be installed to drain the line back to the pretreatment tank in freezing climates.
Pressure Regulator
essure regulators fix the inlet pressure at a given rate and a re recommended with Wasteflow Classic. Under normal operating conditions,
essure in the drip lines should be:
10 psi to 45 psi for Wasteflow Classic and
7 psi to 60 psi for Wasteflow PC
Air Vacuum Breaker
Air vacuum breakers are installed at the high points to keep soil from being sucked into the emitters due to back siphoning orb ackpressure. This is an absolute
necessity with underground drip systems. They are also used for proper draining of the supply and return manifolds in freezing conditions. Use one on the high
nd of the supply manifold and one on the high point of the ret urn manifold. Additional air vents maybe required depending on terrain. Maximum flow per vacuum
reaker is 50 gpm. Freezing conditions require the air vacuum breaker be protected with insulation.

o, Filter Flush Valves
sed to flush debris from the filter cleanout port back to the pretreatment tank, this can be an electronically activated solenoid valve or a manual ball valve. If manual,
should be opened for a full flushing at least every six month s and left cracked open slightly to flush continuously. Cracking open a manual valve may be used to
+crease flow through the system to be within the efficient flow rate of the filter and/or pump, if necessary. Certain States may require automated
electronic flushing. Please refer to your State codes.
G1ush valve specification and description
ie Solenoid Valve is electrically operated and used to flush the dripfield and Vortex filter. It is normally closed, and in the event of a power failure the valve closes.
nique Dual Ported Diaphragm greatly minimizes clogging. In operation, the diaphragm ports constantly flex, inhibiting sand, silt and debris from blocking the valve
anion. The porting design also permits equal pressure on both sides of the diaphragm wall, regardless of line pressure when valve is not operating, and nearly equal
pressure across the wall when operating. The DW Valve diaphragm is made of nylon fabric reinforced Buna-N rubber; a grooved rib interlocks with cover and body to
-eevent leakage. Nylon exhaust orifice is non -corrosive and has an opening sized larger than the diaphragm ports so that any pieces of sand or silt passing through the
iaphragm will not be trapped beneath the solenoid actuator. The solenoid is constructed of molded epoxy resin having no carbon steel components exposed thereby
liminating possible external corrosion and deterioration. Solenoid is completely waterproof, with an O-ring seal, and complies with NEC Class II circuit requirements
for 24V a.c. operation (also operates on 12 volts d.c. up to 75 psi). The actuator is teflon coated stainless steel and brass with a molded -in place rubber exhaust
port seal; a stainless steel spring assures positive seating. High strength plastic glass -filled body and cover designed to operate in heavy duty commercial applications.
tainless steel 1/4 inch cover bolts and mating brass body inset is make re -assembly easy. Shock cone on diaphragm seat eliminates water hammer in all except
Ktreme cases.
low control. A brass, non -rising type flow control stem for throttling the valve from full open to close positions.
Manual bleed lever. An easy -to -use, hand operated control bleeds valve to downstream; has stops for open and closed positions.

10. Field Flush valves.
sed to flush out fine particles which have passed through the filter and accumulate on the bottom of the tube at the end of eac h lateral. The field flush valve can be
ianual or electronic. If manual, it should be opened for full flushing at least every six months and left cracked open slightly to flush continuously and provide for drainage
f the flush line in freezing conditions. Cracking open a manual valve can also be used to increase the flow through the system to be within the efficient flow rate of the
filter and/or pump if necessary. Certain States do require automated
electronic flushing. Please refer to your State codes.

FREEZING OPERATIONS
Buried drip systems are not prone to frost damage because, in their design, vacuum release and drain valves are provided. Please adhere to the following precautions_
a) Manifolds, supply lines and return lines must be sloped back to their respective dosing or treatment tanks. Under extreme conditions return and supply manifold
should be insulated or buried below frost line. Be sure drain valve on flush line remains open long enough for entire field to drain.
b) Remove the check valve at the pump or provide alternate method for draining supply manifolds. Check with pump manufacturer before removing check
valve from pump to be sure that it does not affect warranty.
c) Insulate equipment boxes, including Headworks box or filter and field flush valve boxes as well as zone dosing valves, pressure regulator and air vacuum
relief valves. Use closed -cell insulation such as perlite in a plastic bag.
d) The top of air vacuum relief valves must be no higher than soil surface.
e) If using an index valve to split field zones, be sure it is capable of self -draining.
f) WASTEFLOW lines will self -drain through the emitters into the soil. If the cover crop over the dripfield is not yet adequately established, add hay or straw over
the field for insulation.
g) Mark the valve box with a metal pin so you can find it in t he winter when covered in snow.
h) If using manual filter flush valves or manual field flush valves, they should be left cracked open slightly to provide for quick and complete drainage of the flush
line in freezing conditions.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE:
The best way to assure years of trouble free life from your system is to consistently monitor the system and perform regular maintenance functions. For large
systems or systems with a BOD > 20 mg/I automation of maintenance is essential.
For smaller systems with a BOD < 20 mg/1 semi-annual inspection and maintenance is adequate.
1) Remove the spin filter and install a clean cartridge. Clean the used filter cartridge back at the shop with a pressure hose. The filter cartridge should be
cleaned from the outside inwards. If bacteria buildup is a problem we advise first trying lye, and if the problem persists, soak it in a chlorine bath. Soak the filter
cartridge in a mixture of 50%bleach and 50%water.
2) Open the field flush valve.
3) Manually turn on the pump.
4) Flush the system for approximately five minutes.
5) Close the field flush valve.
6) Check for proper pressures in the field and if a ball valve is used reset the field flush valve for 1-psi loss.
7) Remove the lids on the vacuum breaker and check for proper operation.
8) Visually inspect the field for any irregularities.
9) Turn off the pump and reset the controller for auto mode.
10) Periodically remove and clean the field flush and filter flush valves.

To Specify...
To specify this panel for your installation, require the following:
Basic Control Logic: Three Operating Modes
• A "Start-up Mode" for the initial 30 days, during which the
system collects trend data to establish operating standards for
future reference.
• A "Normal Mode" that manages day-to-day functions.
• A "Test Mode" that suspends data collection and alarm
reporting during installation and service.
Data Collection and Utilization
• Data logs of system conditions and events, such as pump run
times, pump cycles, and alarm conditions.
Troubleshooting and Diagnostic Logic
• Troubleshooting capabilities that can report suspected failed
components, which then trigger Alarms.
Advanced Control Logic
• Advanced control logic that activates during float malfunctions
to diagnose the situation and keep the system operating normally
until servicing.
Communication and Alarm Management
• Remote telemetry capabilities coupled with a web -based moni-
toring application (see VeriComm Monitoring System, ATD-
WEB-VCOM-1) for communication and alarm management
Updating of point values (including timer settings) and receipt of
queued changes during each communication session with host.
Communication sessions that occur monthly, at a minimum, and
more frequently during alarm conditions.
• Multiple methods of communication, as follows:
Call -In to VeriComm Host
— Automatic notification to host of "Alarms," which signal
fault conditions that need to be addressed immediately
(e.g., pump failure).
— Automatic notification to host of "Alerts," which signal
less critical fault conditions and which trigger the panel's
troubleshooting logic and alternative operating mode
(e.g., stuck float switch).
— Automatic notification to host of "Updates," which include
alarm updates or all -clear notifications following
Alarms/Alerts, as well as normally scheduled monthly
panel reports.
— Manual, forced communication from panel to host to effect
an updating of point values and receipt of queued changes.
Real -Time Direct Connection to Panel
— Manual, direct connection at the site via RS-232 serial port, to
allow a local operator real-time access to detailed logged
data and the ability to change point values from a laptop.
— Manual, forced communication by local operator/homeowner
at the site to initiate an auto -answer mode, allowing a remote
operator real-time access to detailed logged data and the
ability to change point values.
During real-time, manual connections, software with open
architecture (and password security) is used; no proprietary
software is required. VT100 protocol allows access and control
from any computer modem (Mac or PC) with a simple communi-
cation program (e.g., Windows HyperTerminal); multilevel
password protection in panel ensures that only qualified
personnel can access the panel's data.

The AdvanTee-AX Series Textile Filter Treatment System has five main functional units:
1. Control Panel
2. Recirculating Splitter Valve
3. AdvanTe?e Filter
4. Processing Tank
5. Biotube® Pumping Package
Raw sewage enters the two -compartment Processing Tank through its inlet tee_ In the first compartment, the
raw sewage separates into three distinct zones: a scum layer, a sludge layer, and a clear layer. A hole(s) in the
Tank's-baffle wall allows effluent from the clear layer to flow into the second compartment of the tank. The
Biotube Pump Package in the second compartment pumps filtered effluent to a distribution manifold in the
AdvanTex Filter. Effluent percolates down through the textile media and is collected in the bottom of the
filter basin. The treated effluent flows out of the filter basin through a 2" dia. pipe that returns the treated
effluent to the Recirculating Splitter Valve (RSV). The RSV automatically splits the return flow between the
Processing Tank and the final discharge. The RSV also controls the liquid level within the Processing Tank_
During extended periods of no flow, 100% of the treated effluent is returned to the Processing Tank.

Installation Guide: AdvanTex° AX Treatment Systems
The operation of the pump in the second compartment is controlled by a programmable timer in the Control
Panel, which allows the pump to dose the filter for short periods (usually a minute or less), from 50 to 100
times a day. This frequent "micro -dosing," which optimizes the treatment process, occurs 24 hours a day, to
maintain the proper biological environment.
The following installation steps are discussed in detail on the following pages. Please read through the entire
installation guide before beginning installation. Failure to do'so may cause installation delays and/or improp-
er system operation. In addition, the Installation Manual for the'system's electrical control panel describes
installation, wiring, tuner settings, and operating instructions for AdvanTex control panels. Please read it
through, as well. Note: You'll need a 1-9/16" holesaw, in addition to standard pipe fittings.

Determining Positions of the Processing Tank and AdvanTex Filter
Step IA: Sketching System Position
Sketch exact positions of the Processing Tank and AdvanTex Filter on the site. Also, sketch placement of
the control panel (see Installation Manual for the system's control panel). The textile filter can be placed in
several different positions in relation to the processing tank. Before determining which position is best, look
to see how the Filtrate Return Line needs to be run. Note that the 2" diameter outlet coupling for the Filtrate
Return Line is permanently installed in one comer of the AdvanTex Filter. The pump transport pipe pene-
trates the AdvanTex Filter through a field -installed grommet. This grommet can be installed in one of two
comers of the AdvanTex Filter. Use a 1-9/16" hole saw to drill the grommet hole.
Typically, it is best to place the AdvanTex filter so that the Filtrate Return Line can be plumbed as easily as
possible, since this line has a slope requirement.

Determining elevations of filtrate return line
Beginning excavation for processing tank
Excavating Hole for Processing Tank and
AdvanTex Filter
Step 2A: Determining Elevations
Before excavating the holes for the tank or filter, consider the
elevations required:
The 2" Filtrate Return Line should be sloped a minimum of
1/4" per foot. If the Filtrate Return Line is less than 6' Tong,
provide a minimum of 1.5" total elevation difference between
the outlet of the filter and the inlet of the RSV..
The top of the AdvanTex Filter should end up approximately 1"
to 2" above finished grade. Take into account any planned or
proposed landscaping that might affect the finished grade of
the system.
Step 2B: Outlining Excavation Area
Outline an excavation area (with chalk, paint, string, etc.) for
both the tank and AdvanTex Filter. Excavate the hole for the
tank per the. tank manufacturer's recommendations. Make the
hole for the AdvanTex Filter approximately 12" wider and
longer than the footprint of the AdvanTex Filter. If the filter is
going to be placed over the top of the tank, very little excava-
tion may be required beyond the excavation of the tank hole.
Step 2C: Excavating Hole
Excavate to the proper depths as determined above for proper
elevations. Make sure the bottom of the excavation is free of
debris, especially rocks and other sharp objects. If the bottom
of the excavation is uneven or rocky, lay down a 3" bed of sand
or pea gravel to create an even, smooth surface.

Placing Processing Tank and AdvanTex Filter
Step 3A: Placing Processing Tank
Follow the tank manufacturer's guidelines for setting the tank.
NOTE: For modes IB and 3B, the discharge pump basin can
often be placed in the tank excavation.
Step 3B: Preparing Top of Tank for AdvanTex Filter
If the AdvanTex Filter is placed over the top of the tank, a min-
imum 5" thick layer of compacted soil'or sand must be placed
on top of the tank in order to get the required slope on the
Filtrate Return Line.
Step 3C: Setting AdvanTex Filter into Place
The AX10 should be light enough to set in place by two
people. If not, lift and set the filter pod into place by slinging
two wide truck straps under the entire unit. Using a backhoe,
lift and set the filter.
Step 31): Installing Anti -Flotation Flanges
The pod comes standard with pre -drilled fiberglass tabs on the
bottom corners and, in most cases, a set of anti -flotation
flanges. The anti -flotation flanges help prevent the pod from
"floating out" of the ground under saturated soil conditions.
The anti -flotation flanges come with stainless steel bolts for
attachment to the pre -drilled fiberglass tabs. With the flanges in
position under the pod (as shown in photo), mark and drill
17/64" dia. holes in the flanges to line up with the pre -drilled
holes in -the tabs. Use the 1/4-20 x 1.25 bolts provided -
An alternative method to prevent the pod from "floating out" is
to pour concrete over the pre -drilled tabs, along the long sides
of the pod. The concrete should extend 12 inches away from
side of the pod and 6 inches deep (as seen in illustration). —3 —
For the processing tank, consult the tank manufacturer for
proper anti -flotation measures.

Applying MA320 adhesive to riser tank adapter
Placing access riser onto adapter
Applying ADH100 adhesive to riser -adapter joint
Installing Access Risers on Processing Tank
Step 4A: Orienting Riser
Orient grommets as shown in your system sketch. The riser
that will have the RSV installed in it (inlet riser for Mode 3;
outlet riser for Mode 1) must be installed such that the RSV
inlet piping is oriented to accept the Filtrate Return Line. For
any risers that will have electrical conduits running to them, try
to orient electrical grommets to minimize the number of bends
because the National Electrical'.Code limits the sum total of all
bends in a run to 360 degrees.
Step 4B: Applying Adhesive to Adapter
There are several methods of applying adhesive to the outside
and inside of the riser tank adapter. You can use ADH100 or
MA320 alone. However, because ADH100 does not provide a
structural joint for approximately 24 hours and may therefore
slow the installation and backfilling process, the use of both
adhesives can be a beneficial method, as follows:
Apply MA320 to the outside surface of the riser tank adapter
for a quick (typically less than one hour) structural joint (per
Step 4C). Then apply ADH100 to the inside of the adapter and
the riser joint (per Step 41)), for a watertight seal.
Step 4C: Placing Riser
Carefully slide the riser onto the adapter. Be sure to orient the
riser correctly before adhesive cures.
Step 41): Sealing Riser -Adapter Joint
Apply adhesive to the inside of the adapter and riser joint. Use
a putty knife or similar tool to form a continuous fillet between
the tank adapter and the inside of the riser.

Installation Guide: AdvanTW AX Treatment Systems
Step 4E: Water Test Tank and Riser Connections
After the adhesive has hardened, fill the tank with clean water
all the way up into the riser, to a level of V above the adhesive
joint, to test both the watertightness of the tank and the riser
joint. Do not allow the water level to rise more than 3" into the
riser because structural damage to the tank may occur. The
inlet pipe into the tank needs to be "turned up" to allow the
tank to be filled to the required level.
CAUTION: Before filling tank; check the tank manufacturer's
guidelines for filling. Some tank manufacturers require.a
partial or complete backf ll before the tank is filled.
Installing Recirculating Splitter Valve
Step 5A: Understanding RSV Operation
The RSV automatically controls the AdvanTex Filtrate return
flow and the liquid level within the Processing Tank. During
periods of no flow, 100% of the filtrate returns to the tank- As
raw sewage entering the Processing Tank raises the liquid level,
some of the filtrate is diverted to the discharge line.
Step 5B: Positioning RSV within Tank Opening
For systems operating in Mode 1, the RSV is installed in the
riser over the tank's second compartment (or inlet end of the
second tank in a 2-tank installation). The RSV should be
installed between the baffle wall and the pump system to help
ensure mixing of the return effluent.
For systems operating in Mode 3, the RSV (duckbill model) is
installed in the riser over the tank's.inlet. Note that the RSV
must be installed so as not to interfere with the inlet tee.

Step 5C: Locating RSV Bracket on Riser
NOTE: If the RSV Bracket is pre -assembled on the riser, skip
Steps 5C through 5G.
Locate the desired position of the RSV Bracket on the appro-
priate riser. Typically, the RSV is positioned as low as possible
on the riser without interfering with the tank adapter. In most
cases, the centerline of the 3" grommet is up about 5" from the
bottom of the riser. The PVC Spacer Posts keep the Body of
the RSV away from the riser so that the Body clears the open-
ing in the tank.
NOTE. The recommended opening for a 24" dia. riser is 2011.-
the minimum opening for a 30" dia. riser is 24".
Step 5D: Preparing Riser for Bracket Attachment
With an electric or pneumatic grinder, remove the external ribs
on the riser where the RSV Bracket is to be installed.
Use a chisel to knock out the sections of rib. Use the grinder or
chisel to remove any remaining sharp edges.
Step 5E: Drilling Mole for Grommet
Mark the desired location for the 3" grommet. Drill a hole for
the grommet with a 3-7/8" hole saw. Clean up any burrs on the
hole and install the grommet with the tapered side towards the
inside of the riser. Lube the inside of the grommet and slide the
pipe attached to the Bracket through the grommet. Note that
the "beveled" side of the Bracket faces up.

nstallati®n Guide: AdvanTex° AX Treatment Systems
Step 5F: Drilling RSV Bracket Mounting Holes
Using the Bracket as the guide, mark and drill four 5/16"
diameter mounting holes in the riser. Be sure the Bracket is
"square" with the riser, so that the RSV Body will hang
completely vertical when installed in the Bracket.
Step 5G: Attaching RSV to Miser
Using the four stainless steel bolts provided, mount the Bracket
to the riser. The Spacer Posts go between the riser wall and the
Bracket. The- bolt heads should be on the outside of the riser to
seal the bolt holes in the riser. Tighten the bolts snugly so that
the Bracket cannot be moved by hand.
NOTE: Do not glue the Split -Flow Tee on the outside of the
riser until the slope of the discharge line has been determined.
Step 5H: Determining Stinger Length
The RSV Body comes standard with an 18" long Stinger Pipe.
The Stinger is held in place at both ends with stainless steel
setscrews to allow removal for length adjustment.
IMPORTANT. BE SURE TO CALCULATE THE PROPER
STINGER LENGTH FOR THE SYSTEM!
If the low liquid level is not specified for the particular installa-
tion, refer to page 21 in the Appendix for typical RSV and float
settings for residential systems installed in two -compartment
tanks. For Stinger Pipe lengths up to 24" long, the low liquid
level will be approximately 5" to 6" below the top of the RSV
Cage. (The low liquid level is the level at which 100% of the
filtrate returns to the tank.) It is highly recommended to keep the
stinger length less than 36". If the stinger length must be longer
than 36", a non-standard RSV cage must be used. Contact your
dealer or Orenco for more information. For most residential
applications, the recommended surge volume is approximately
150 to 250 gallons. The surge volume is the volume between the
low liquid level and the high water alarm float.

After the Stinger Pipe is cut to the correct length, install into
the RSV Body and tighten the set screws. Determine handle
length. Install handle in the top of the RSV Body and secure
with set screw.
For Mode 3 installations, the duckbill model RSV is required,
which has a flexible PVC tube that vents the RSV Cage to
atmosphere. Push the flexible PVC tube onto the insert fitting
on the Cage. Thread the other end of the tube through the Tube
Holder at the top of the RSV Body. Leave about 6" of tube
extending through the Tube Holder. Any excess can be cut off.
There is no vent tube required for Mode 1 installations. .
Step 51: Sliding RSV into Bracket
Carefully lower the RSV into the bracket attached to the inside
of the access riser. Slide the RSV down until the two locating
stops come in contact with the top edge of the bracket.
InstallingFiltrate Return Line and Discharge
Step 6A: Determining Elevations and Connections
Install the 2" PVC Filtrate Return Line from the outlet
coupling in the bottom of the AdvanTex Filter to the inlet
side of the Split -Flow Tee. This 2" Filtrate Return Line should
be sloped a minimum of 1/4" per foot. If the Filtrate Return
Line is LESS than C long, provide a minimum of 1.5" total ele-
vation difference from the outlet of the filter to the inlet of the
Split -Flow Tee. Be sure the 2" Filtrate Return Line is continu-
ously sloped Do not allow any undulations or flat sections as
this will impair proper drainage and air movement.
Be sure the Split -Flow Tee is installed in the proper orientation.
The Filtrate Return Line connects to the end of the Split -Flow
Tee labeled " T\L" The discharge pipe connects to the end of the
Split -Flow Tee labeled "OUT"

Installation Guide: AdvanTex®-AX Treatment Systems
Step 6B: Installing Split -Flow Tee
When gluing the Split -Flow Tee, orient it to accommodate the
slope requirements of the discharge line,. as shown in the photo
at right. The discharge line should have a minimum slope of
1/4" per foot anda maximum slope of 2 inches per foot (10
degrees). If a slope of greater than 10 degrees is necessary,
install the first 12 inches of the line at less than 10 degrees;
then use fittings to achieve the necessary slope greater than
10 degrees.
Installing Passive Air Vent
Step 7A: Attaching Air Vent
Using 2" PVC pipe, plumb the passive air vent to the 2" fitting
that protrudes through the filter wall (opposite end from outlet
fitting). Be sure the vent line is sloped to drain into the textile
filter, to prevent accumulation of water in the vent line.
It may be desirable to install the Air Vent near a wall or
similar location where it is less likely to be damaged from a
lawn mower or accidental kicking, etc. The Air Vent can also
be easily hidden behind shrubbery or other landscaping. The
Air Vent may be painted if another color is desired:
IMPORTANT: In all cases, the line between the Air Vent and
the filter must be sloped back toward the filter. To prevent accu-
mulation of water, do not allow any. "bellies" or low points -in
the vent piping. Keep the 2" vent piping less than 20' in total -
length.

Step 9A: Connecting transport Line to Pump Discharge
Install 1" PVC pipe for this line. If it is desirable for this line
to drain back to the tank after every cycle, slope accordingly.
The inlet grommet for the AdvanTex Filter is shipped loose
because it can be installed in two. different positions to best
accommodate the site. The two possible positions are marked
on the outside of the filter. Drill a hole at the desired position
with a 1-9/16" hole saw. Install the 1" grommet in the hole. If
necessary, rotate the distribution manifold 180 degrees to line
up the manifold with the chosen grommet position. Lubricate
the grommet. Push the transport line through the grommet and
connect it to the manifold. After connecting, temporarily disas-
semble the manifold union so that, when the pump first comes
on during start-up (see Step 13A), any debris in the transport
piping will not be pumped into the manifold (which could then
require orifice cleaning).

For complete control panel installation instructions, see the
Installation Manual for the electrical control panel that comes
with your system.
Typically, the electrical wiring has to be performed by a
licensed electrician. Complete wiring diagrams can be found in
the panel's Installation Manual and on the inside of the control
panel's door. Wiring will include the following items:
1) Incoming power to the panel. There may be one or more
circuits required, depending upon the number of pumps
and local electrical codes.
2) Wiring from the control panel to the recirculation pump
and floats.
3) When applicable, wiring to a discharge pump and floats.

Checking for Watertightness
Step 11A: Preparing Processing Tank
Before filling tank, check the tank manufacturer's guidelines
for filling. Some tank manufacturers require a partial or com-
plete backfill before the tank is filled.
Step 11B: Checking Connections
Fill the tank with clean water up to a level approximately one
inch above the RSV Cage. At this point the water level should -
be well above the bottom float. In the control panel, turn on the
pump by switching the MOA toggle to the "Manual'' position.
As water begins running through the system, ensure proper
drainage through the Filtrate Return Line and RSV. All or some
of the return filtrate flowing to the RSV should be exiting the
system through the final discharge line. Check that no water is
leaking at any of the plumbing joints.
Backfilling Installation
Step 12A: Backfilling Processing Tank
Backfill the excavation. Follow the tank manufacturer's guide-
lines for backfilling the tank.
Step 12B: Backfilling AdvanTex Filter
Backfill and compact around filter in maximum 12" lifts.
Native material is acceptable if there are no large or sharp
rocks that may damage the filter walls. If native material is not
useable, backfill with sand or pea gravel. Slope the ground
away from the filter to prevent surface water from ponding on
or around the filter.

System Start -Up — Treatment System
Step 13A: Verify Pump Operation
Verify both manual and automatic operation of the recircula-
tion pump. Before running the pump, ensure that the tank's
water level is at least 4" above the bottom float, but below the
top float. Be sure that you have temporarily disconnected the
manifold union, per the instructions in Step 9. Flip the MOA
toggle switch in the control panel to "Manual" to test manual
operation of the pump and clear any debris in the transport pip-
ing. Return the MOA switch to "Automatic." To facilitate quick
testing of the automatic operation, temporarily set the program-
mable timer to short intervals, but no shorter than 15 seconds
on, 15 seconds off.
NOTE. Refer to the control panel instructions for more
detailed operational features of the control panel itself.
Step 13B: Verify AdvanTex Filter Operation
Reconnect the manifold union. With the pump running in the
manual position, open each lateral ball valve individually for
5 or 10 seconds to flush any construction debris out of the
piping. Be sure all lateral valves are completely closed after
flushing is complete. With the pump still running in manual,
remove several orifice shields and measure the, squirt height
with a tape. measure. The squirt height should measure approxi-
mately Y-Y. Windy conditions will cause the squirt heights to
measure less. For more accurate residual measurements, you
can attach a section of clear PVC pipe to the end of the lateral.
Record the residual head measurement at start-up and before
and after servicing.

by the type of alarm light as listed below. The positions of the
floats and the alarm conditions can also be determined by
viewing the LCD screen inside the control panel.
Alarm Light Interpretation
Steady light: high water alarm
Blinking light: low water alarm
To test the operation of the floats, remove the float stem from the
pump vault. Both floats go from their "open" to "closed" posi-
tion when the liquid level is near the center of the float collar.
The differential (drawdown) of the float is approximately 1/8".
Drop the bottom float to its open position to verify operation of
the low level alarm. The alarm horn should sound and the red
alarm light should begin blinking. When the low level alarm is
activated, the pump should also be inoperable. Verify pump
inactivation by flipping the MOA switch to manual. During
normal system operation, the bottom float will be in its closed
(up) position.
Keeping the bottom float up, now raise the top float to its
closed (up) position. The high water alarm should sound and
the red alarm light should shine steadily. During normal system
operation, the top float will be up in its open (down) position.

remote monitoring and control of AdvanTex (timed, recirculat-
ing) pumping operations.
Fault conditions are automatically reported to the VeriComm
Monitoring System, making the system virtually invisible to
the homeowner. However, if fault conditions are not responded
to, or the system cannot communicate with the VeriComm
Monitoring System, then local alarms maybe activated.
Follow the procedures, below, to verify proper installation of
your VeriComm panel. 'These procedures should be conducted
in the sequence outlined, while in "Test Mode."

Recognizing the components of -your telemetry
control board
For complete, detailed procedures specific to each panel
model, refer to the documentation (Installation Manual) that
comes with the panel.
Step 14C: Verify System Status
Ensure that the panel installation instructions have been com-
pleted
Verify that the circuit breakers are in the "On" position.
Verify controller status. The "Power LED" located on the
control board will either be:
• Blinking — which indicates that the controller is operating
normally, or
• Solid Off (when power is applied) — which indicates that
there is a possible problem with ...
1. The input fuse on the PC board,
2. The main fuse located inside the panel,
3. The controls circuit breaker located inside the panel, or
4. The incoming line voltage.
Step AD: Enable Test Mode
Hold the "Push -To -Silence" 'button on the front of the panel
until the audible alarm sounds (approximately 15 seconds) to
enable Test Mode.
• The appropriate digital input should be illuminated when
the button is held in.
• When the audible alarm- sounds to indicate that the panel
is in Test Mode, release the button.
While in Test Mode, the panel will operate in the following
manner.
• The Call Home function is disabled,
• Local audible and visual alarms are activated as alarm
conditions occur,
• System Data Logs are suspended, and
• Timer cycles are shortened -
Step 14E: Manual Pump Test .
Verify that the pump is submerged in water before continuing.
If the RO (bottom) float drops, the alarm should sound
Press, down the spring -loaded "MAN/AUTO" switch located
inside the panel. The pump should immediately activate. For
verification:

• The appropriate digital input should illuminate,
indicating that the auxiliary contact is on.
Measure the voltage and amperage of the pump.
• Measure the voltage at the pump terminals in the panel
while the pump is running. A low voltage condition
could indicate that the site wiring is improperly sized.
• Using a loop ammeter, place the ammeter clamp around
the loop of wire located above the pump circuit breaker.
The amperage should be within the specifications of the
PUMP -
Step 14F: Float Test
Refer to the documentation (Installation Manual) provided with
your panel to test the floats that activate/deactivate the pump.
To perform your float test, sufficient effluent is required. If
there is not enough effluent in the tank, turn the pump circuit
breaker off.
Step 14G: Communication Test
Press and release the "Push -To -Silence" button 15 times within
a one -minute period. This instructs the panel to call the
VeriComm Monitoring System.
A red LED ("Modem Activity" component) should illu-
minate, indicating that the controller has established com-
munication with the host. (This may take a few minutes.)
Once the communication session has ended, the modem
will automatically disconnect.
If the LED does not illuminate within the specified time,
verify that the phone line has a dial tone. This can be done
by hooking up a phone to the line that is going into the
panel.
Step 14H: Disable Test Mode (optional)
The panel will automatically disable Test Mode and return to
normal operation after 30 minutes. To disable Test Mode
immediately,. hold the "Push To-Silence".button on the front
of the panel until the audible alarm sounds (approximately 15
seconds).
The appropriate digital input should be illuminated when
the "Push -To -Silence" button is held in.
When the audible alarm sounds to indicate that the panel
is no longer in Test Mode, release the button.

RSV Level
For Stinger Pipe lengths up to 24" long, the "normal low oper-
ating liquid level' will be approximately 5"-6" below the top of
the RSV Cage. (The normal low operating liquid level is the
level at which 100% of the filtrate returns to the tank.) For
most residential applications, the recommended surge volume
is approximately 150 to 250 gallons (approximately 50% to
100% of actual flow). The surge volume is the volume between
the low liquid level and the high water alarm float. For Mode 3
installations, the duckbill model RSV, which has a flexible
PVC tube that vents the RSV Cage to atmosphere, is required
Float Levels
Typically the bottom float should be positioned as close to the
top of the Biotube Cartridge as possible. The top float is nor-
mally set one to two inches below the invert of the tank inlet.
For most residential applications, the recommended surge vol-
ume is approximately 150 to 250 gallons. The surge volume is
the volume between the low liquid level and the high water
alarm float. Be sure to check the plans for any site -specific or
tank -specific float settings.
NOTE: Before leaving the site, verify that the `Low Water
AlanrnlRedundant Off" float is positioned 10" below the top of
the RSV cage.

What is Ultraviolet Light?
Ultraviolet light is found in nature as a component of sunlight. Located on the spectrum just below visible light.1
ultraviolet light is invisible to the human eye. At the frequency (254 nanometers) produced by the lamps in IWG's
Water Treatment Units, ultraviolet light is very effective in the destruction of micro-organisms like bacteria (E. coli,
Bacillus anthracis, Vibrid cholerae, etc.), viruses (Influenza, Polio, etc.) and protozoa (Cryptosporidium parvum and
Giardia lambfia are two examples). Pre-treatment of the water is required to produce clear water for the ultraviolet
light to penetrate and destroy micro-organisms. In some cases, 185 nm wavelength (ozone producing) ultraviolet
lamps are used to reduce Total Organic Carbon in addition to disinfecting the wastewater.

IWG-1-LV-VWU-3 Specifications
i
Disinfection Performance: - greater than a 99.9% bacterial reduction
- a bacterial fecal colony count of less than 200 per 100 ml. .
Required Environmental Characteristics: Water Temperature Range: 330 F. to 1000 F
Ambient Temperature Range: 330 F. to 1120 F
Installation:
For optimum results, the sewage treatment system effluent must possess the following characteristics before
entering the sterilizer unit:
Total Organic Carbon count of less than 10mg/L* Turbidity of less than 8 NTU
Suspended Solids count of less than 10mg/L* Transmissivity of greater than 50%
The unit is designed for indoor use only (considered to be a housing that is water -tight and/or weatherproof). The
unit must be supported in its housing - not free hanging from its pipe connections.
*The sewage treatment system providing input to the unit should have National Sanitation Foundation certification
under Standard 40, Class One.

INSTALLATION DETAIL
How Does Ultraviolet Light Disinfect Water?
Before Exposure to Ultraviolet - All Bonds Intact
Studies show that DNA molecules in the nucleus of micro-organisms in water will absorb ultraviolet light. The organism is
inactivated when sufficient dosage has been absorbed to modify the molecular structure in the DNA. This results when exposure
to ultraviolet light causes two thymine molecules to form an inappropriate bond, or dimer. The effect of numerous thymine
dimers forming along the DNAchain inhibits replication of the organism. It may not be killed instantly, but the scrambling of the
genetic code in the nucleus prevents reproduction, rendering it non -viable and harmless to humans.
The amount of energy required to produce this effect is referred to as the lethal dosage. Dosage is measured in micro -watt
seconds per square centimeter (µW-sec/cm2). Most harmful micro-organisms are reduced by 99.9% or more with a dosage of
20,000 µW-sec1cm2. Properly maintained IWG Wastewater Treatment Units produce a minimum of 26,000 µW-sec/cmz.

ZOELLER ON=S1TS WASTEWATER PRODUCTS
Effluent turbine pumps are used in on -site applications that
demand more head than a traditional single stage centrifugal
submersible pump. Zoeller Pump Company is able to meet this
need by offering a complete line of submersible effluent turbine
pumps. These pumps have been proven in field applications and
have many years of development behind them. Typical appli-
cations include mound systems, drip systems, and recirculating
media. filters. All units include cool running submersible motors
that do not require external water flow to prevent overheating.
An outer pump sleeve is not required. Pumps can be installed
directly in a dose tank as long as an effluent filter is used on the
septic tank outlet. These pumps can also be used in conjunction
with the Zoeller Effluent Turbine Filtered STEP system.

Min
-Cli
Rain Sensors
N�"��-''•® sttallation Instructions
INTRODUCTION
In most installations, the Mini-Clik acts as a switch to break the circuit to the
solenoid valves of the irrigation system when it has rained. This allows the timer
to advance as scheduled, but keeps the valves from opening the water flow.
Once the Mini-Clik has dried sufficiently, the switch closes again to allow for
normal operation.
The Mini-Clik has two blue wires connected to a 25 foot extension.
For the Model Mini-Clik-C: This rain sensor unit is the same as the standard
model except for the lack of an aluminum mounting bracket and the addition of
a 1/2" threaded cap, which allows for the easy use of electrical conduit to totally
enclose the wires. Unless local code states otherwise, plumbing grade PVC pipe
can be used as well as electrical grade conduit.
For the Model Mini-Clik-HV. This rain sensor unit is designed to be used
with automatic irrigation systems of two principle designs: 1) single -station
electrical timer (e.g., Intermatic) that switches power to a pump, either directly
or through a relay; or 2) single -station electrical timer that switches power to a
solenoid valve.
HUMOR
Standard Model:
Using the screws provided, mount the Mini-Clik on any surface where it will be
exposed to unobstructed rainfall, but not in the path of sprinkler spray. The
switch -housing portion must be upright (as pictured), but the swivel -bracket can
be moved for mounting on any angled surface. Loosen the locknut and screw
before swiveling bracket,
and then re -tighten.
For the Conduit Model
Mini-Clik-C:
The conduit acts as the
mounting support for the
unit. Therefore, place
and mount the conduit
to allow for the desired
sensor location as
described in the main
instructions for the
standard model. Be sure
to support the conduit
sufficiently along its
various lengths.
For the High -Voltage
Model Mini-Clik-HV:
The mounting of this unit
is primarily made by
screwing the fitting end
into the threaded holes of
covers to rectangular
junction boxes (for
outdoor use) or the
covers of round junction
boxes commonly used for
outdoor spotlights. Locate
the junction box so that
with the Mini-Clik
attached, unobstructed
rainfall will hit the
outermost sensing end of
the unit. If a longer reach is needed, the "Carlon" flexible conduit piece can be
substituted with a slightly longer piece (up to 8" length with no support or up to
11" with support).
Helpful hints for mounting:
A. When looking for a suitable location such as on the side of a building or post,
the closer the Mini-Clik is to the controller, the shorter the wire run will be.
This will also minimize the chance for wire breaks.
B. The ideal location for mounting is not always the most practical location. In
the case where a compromise must exist (such as low location on a side wall
rather than the preferred high location), note that the Mini-Clik will still work
as it will always receive some rainfall — it just will not be as accurate in its
gauging as it could be.
C. As described in the "Operation" section of this manual, "reset rate" refers to
the amount of time it takes the Mini-Clik to dry out sufficiently for the sprinkler
system to be allowed to come back on. The mounting location will affect this
rate and should be taken into consideration should extreme conditions exist.
For example, mounting the Mini-Clik on a very sunny, southern end of a
building may cause the Mini-Clik to dry out sooner than desired. Similarly,
mounting on the northern end of a building with constant shade may keep the
Mini-Clik from drying soon enough.
Once the Mini-Clik is mounted, run the wire to the controller, and fasten it every
few feet with wire Gips or stapled for best results. If an extension to the wire
provided is needed, use the following table to determine the minimum wire
gauge needed:
If the extension needed is: 25-50 ft. 50-100 ft. 100 ft. or more
use: 20 AWG 18 AWG 16 AWG
• • •
Important: The Standard Model Mini-Clik is sold and designed for hook up to
24 Volt irrigation controllers only. For wiring to 110V or 220V irrigation controllers,
please consult your distributor or this factory. All wiring must conform to National
Electrical Code or applicable local codes.
For the Model Mini-Clik-C: WARNING! This unit is designed to be installed in
conjunction with 24VAC circuits only. Do not use with 110 or 220VAC circuits.
For the Model Mini-Clik-HV. WARNING! This unit must be installed by a
qualified electrician in accordance with National Electrical Code and applicable
local codes. The electrical rating of this device is 125-250VAC at 10.1 amps. Do
not let current pass through this device that exceeds this rating. Do not install
directly in line with any pump.
Wiring to the Hunter SRC
The Mini-Clik connects
directly to the SRC. This
allows you to easily override
the sensor by using the RUN
(BYPASS SENSOR) position
on the dial.
1. Route the wires from the
Mini-Clik up through the
same opening used for
valve wiring.
2. Connect one wire to the
RS terminal and other
to the C terminal (See
Figure 1).
3. Connect the valve common
to the RS terminal.
Wiring to the Hunter ICC
The Mini-Clik connects
directly to the ICC. This
allows you to easily override
the sensor by using the
Sensor switch on the front
panel.
1. Remove the jumper from
the two "SEN" terminals_
2. Route the wires from the
rain sensor up through the
same conduit opening
used for valve wiring.
3. Connect one wire to the
terminal labeled "SEN"
and the other wire to the
other "SEN" terminal (See
Figure 2).

Installation Instructions
Other Controllers
The two most common
situations are shown below.
For non-standard wiring
situations, please consult
your distributor or request
our "Non-standard"
wiring information packet.
A. 24 Volt Solenoid Valves
Only (No booster pump)
(See Figure 3)
With the two wires from
the Mini-Clik at the
controller, locate the
"common ground" wire of
the solenoid valves. If it is
connected to the common
terminal on the.controller,
disconnect it. Attach one
wire of the Mini-Clik to the
"common" terminal
(usually marked "C") on
the controller. Attach the
other wire of the Mini-Clik
to the common wire
leading to the valves.
Note: The common wire
to the valves does not
have to be interrupted
at the controller. The
Mini-Clik may be wired
anywhere along the
common wire line.
B. 24 Volt Solenoid Valves
with Booster Pump (See
Figure 4)
Locate the common wire
to the solenoid valves and
the common wire leading
to the coil of the relay that
starts the pump. If these
two wires are connected
to the "common" terminal
on the controller,
disconnect both of them.
Twist together these two
wires along with one wire
from the Mini-Clik, and
secure with a wire nut.
Attach the other wire of
the Mini-Clik to the
"common" terminal on the
controller. Note: The pump
circuit output must be 24
Volts imthis situation. Do
not proceed if 110V.
C. Special Instructions for
Mini-Clik-HV (See Figures
5 and 6)
The two taped and
stripped wires are the
ones to be used when
following these accompa-
nying diagrams. The third
wire should be terminated
with a wire nut (not sup-
plied). All wire connec-
tions with the Mini-Clik
should be made with wire
nuts and located in a
junction box.

timer, external or non-existent. If there is no relay in the circuit, one must be
added. The wiring for an internal or external relay is the same: the Mini-Clik
breaks the circuit to the coil of the relay only. Either wire of the coil may be
broken.
Operation Check to Verify Correct Wiring
Turn on one zone of the irrigation system that is visible while you are in reach
of the Mini-Clik. Manually depress the spindle at the top of the Mini-Clik until you
hear the switch "dick" off. The sprinkler zone should stop instantaneously. If it
does not, check wiring for correctness. It is not necessary to `wet" test the Mini-
Clik, although it will test the operation fine, if desired.
ADJUSTMENTS AND OPERA I ION

starting or continuing after rainfall quantities of 'A",
1/4", t/2 , 3/4" or 1". To adjust it to the desired shut-
off quantity, rotate the cap on the switch housing
so that the pins are located in the proper slots (see
Figure 7). Do not forcibly twist the cap as this might
break the pins.
The time that it takes the Mini-Clik to reset for
normal sprinkler operation after the rain has
stopped is determined by weather conditions (wind,
sunlight, humidity, etc.) These conditions will
determine how fast the hygroscopic discs dry out,
and since the turf is also experiencing the -same
conditions, their respective drying rates will roughly parallel each other. So when
the turf needs more water, the Mini-Clik is already reset to allow the sprinkler
system to go at the next scheduled cycle.
There is an adjustment capability on the Mini-Clik that will slow down the reset
rate. By turning the `vent ring" (see Figure 7) to completely or partially cover the
ventilation holes, the hygroscopic discs will dry more slowly. This adjustment can
compensate for an "overly sunny" installation location, or peculiar soil conditions.
Experience will best determine the ideal vent setting.
BY PASSING THE SENSOR
The Hunter ICC and SRC controllers are equipped with a built-in bypass that
allows you to override an active sensor. For controllers not equipped with this
feature, should you desire to bypass the operation of the Mini-Clik for any reason
(i.e., turn on your system even though the Mini-Clik has shut "off" due to rainfall),
there are two simple ways to do this. The first is to add our Bypass Switch Box.
This mounts on or next to the controller, and by simply moving the switch, the
Mini-Clik is bypassed. The second method is to go to the Mini-Clik and raise the
"cap" a couple of settings higher or completely remove it. This takes the pressure
off the switch button, which allows the valve circuit to close again.
Note: Using the "manual" switch on non -Hunter controllers typically will not
bypass the sensor.
MAINTENANCE
There is no required maintenance for the unit The Mini-Clik does not have to be'
removed or covered for `winterizing" purposes.
Troubleshooting
Follow these simple checks first before assuming the unit is bad and replacing it.
System will not come on at all:
A. First, check to see that the Mini-Clik discs are dry and the switch "clicks" on
and off freely by pressing the top of the spindle.
B. Next, look for breaks in the wire leading to the Mini-Clik and check all wire
junctions.
C. Finally, if the Mini-Clik is dry and the wire leading to it is good, check the Mini-
Clik switch by nicking the insulation of the two "outer" wires near the unit to
expose copper. Turn one sprinkler zone on, and apply a jumper wire" across
the two exposed wires. If the sprinkler now comes on, the switch is bad. Wrap
all nicked wires with electrical tape.
System will not shut off even after heavy rainfall:
A. Check wiring for correctness (see "Operation Check to Verify Correct Wiring'.
B. Check sensitivity setting on Mini-Clik — move cap to more sensitive setting.
The Mini-Clik is an accurate rain gauge and can be verified by setting up a
"tube" type rain gauge in the same vicinity and making periodic readings.
C. Is the rainfall actually hitting the Mini-Clik? Check for obstructions to rainfall
such as overhangs, trees or walls.
Manufactured under U.S. Patent No.3,808,385.

INTRODUCTION
Geoflow's WASTEFLOWOdrip system disposes of effluent below the ground surface through r/z"
pressurized pipes. It is designed using the grid concept with supply and flush manifolds at each .
end creating a closed loop system. The result of the grid design is a complete subsurface wetted
area.
The objective with effluent disposal is usually to dispose of the effluent using the minimum area as
quickly and safely as possible at an approximately uniform rate throughout the yeas: If the main
purpose of the Geoflow system is to irrigate, then please use the standard irrigation manual for
landscape available from Geoflow, Inc.
Subsurface drip is the most efficient method to dispose of effluent Small, precise amounts of wa
ter are uniformly applied under the soil surface from multiple points.
The main advantages of GeofloWs subsurface irrigation for effluent disposal are:
• Human and animal contact with effluent is minimized, reducing health risks.
• Correctly designed systems will not cause puddling or runoff.
• It can be used under difficult circumstances of high water tables, tight soils,
rocky terrain, steep slopes, around existing buildings, trees or other vegeta-
tion, and on windy sites.
• Disposal of water is maximized by means of evapotranspiration.
• The system requires no gravel. It is easy to install directly into indigenous
soils and the natural landscape can be maintained
• Minimizes deep percolation.
• Consumption of nitrates by the plant material is increased.
• Invisible and vandal proof installations.
• Ten year warranty for root intrusion, w0di mnship and materials. Systems
are durable with a long expected life.
• Non intrusive. It allows use of the space while operating
• Easily automated.
• Effluent can be re -used for irrigation.

2. CONTROLLERs
(See Appendix 3 on page V for product specifications)
Controllers are used for time dosing and time flushing of the filter and dripfield. GEO controllers
include a programmable logic control interface for field modifications. They can be used on sys-
tems ranging in size from one to four zones at the time this manual was printed. All controllers
include a surge arrestor, elapsed time meter and counter. For larger systems please inquire about
our Wasteflow Manager controller which has monitoring and telemetry capabilities.
3. Puws
WASTEFLOW dripfields depend on pumps to supply effluent and pressure to the field These must
be sized according to flow and pressure requirenxmts. book for submersible effluent pumps from
a dependable source. Geoflow does not endorse a single manufacturer, but does advocate you use
a pump that is readily serviced in your area.
4. FiLTERs
(see Appendix 2 on page 24 for product specifications) .
Geoflow systems use a self-cleaning Vortex Filter with a stainless screen 150 mesh / or 100 micron
filter element The self-cleaning action is efficient over a range of flow rates depending on the fil-
ter size. The dean -out port is at the base and can be opened or dosed manually or automatically.
If using a manual flush valve, please keep the valve cracked open slightly at all times for continuous
flushing. The controller will fully open automatic flush valves.
5• SUPPLY MANIFOLD
This carries the water from the dosing tank to the disposal area Rigid PVC is usually used and
must be designed to slope back to the pump tank in freezing conditions. The velocity in the mani-
fold should be between 2 feet per second and 5 feet per second (fps). Refer to PVC pipe sizing
cbart in the appendix to determine the best dianyier for your application.
6. REnmN MANIFOLD
In order to help dean the system, the ends of the drip lines are connected together into a common
return line, most often made of rigid PVC. This line will help equalize pressures in the system.
Flushing should be done frequendy during the installation period Periodic flushing under full sys-
tem pressure will guarantee a long system life. The return manifold should be installed to drain the
line back to the pretreatment tank in freezing climates.
7. PRESSURE REGULATOR
(see Appendix 6 on page 32 for product specification)
Pressure regulators fix the inlet pressure at a given rate and are required with WASTEFLOW Classic.
Under normal operating conditions, pressure in the drip lines should be:
10 psi to 45 psi for WASTEFLOW Classic and
7 psi to 60 psi for WASTEFLOW PC

DESIGN PARAMETERS;
1. SExEcr APxA
Select the area with careful consideration of the soil, the terrain and your State and County regulations. .
Be sure the field is not in a flood plain or bottom of a slope where excessive water may collect after
rain.
2. SoiL AppucATIUN DESIGN
Note: This paragraph is extracted from Subsurface Trickle Irrigation SYStern for On -Site Wastewater
Disposal And Reuse by B_ L. Carlile and A. Sanjines.
The basis of the information is from the Texas Health Department regulations. The rules in
your County and State may vary.
The instantaneous water application rate of the system must not exceed the water absorption
capacity of the soil. A determination of the instantaneous water absorption. capacity of the
soil is difficult, however, since the value varies with the water content of the soil. As the soil
approaches saturation with water, the absorption rate reduces to an equilibrium rate called the
"saturated hydraulic conductivity." Wastewater application rates should be less than 10 per-
cent of this saturated equilibrium.
Even though the trickle irrigation system maximizes the soil absorption rate through the low
rate of application, thus keeping the soil below saturation, there will be times when the soil is
at or near saturation from rainfall events. The design must account for these periods and as-
sume the worst case condition of soil saturation. By daq�a sajtyfa"of 10 or 12, rhzzicn "
tlx&Wwradh}rl+zwl%an rbi ty, this}stenuaAl�ur i-�rxx �rra�tofth�trrr�e&rts l��u
cxicszcrj&farhd OdMMuc#y abds
Using a safety factor of 12, a suitable design criterion would be to load the system at the esti-
mated hydraulic conductivity but apply water for only a total of 2 hours per day out of the
available 24 hours. By applying wastewater for a total of 2 hour per day, particularly if applied
in "pulses" or short doses several times per day near the soil surface where the soil dries the
quickest, this would keep the soil absorption rate at the highest value and minimize the poten-
tial of water surfacing in poor soil conditions.
As stated previously, this design criterion will under -load the system at all times except when
the soil is at or near saturation from rainfall. If designing for an efficient irrigation system, the
water supply may not be sufficient to meet the demands of a lawn or landscaped area during
peak water demand months. This problem can be overcome by either of two solutions: add
additional fresh -water make-up to the system during the growing season to supply the needed
water for plants in question; or split the system into two or more fields with necessary valves
and only use one of the fields during the peak water demand months and alternate the fields
during winter months or extremely wet periods, or use both fields simultaneously if the pump
capacity will so allow.
Table 1 shows the recommended hydraulic loading rates for various soil conditions, using a
safety factor of at least 12 with regard to the equilibrium saturated hydraulic conductivity rate
of the soil. These loading rates assume a treated effluent with BOD and TSS values of less
than 20 mg/1 is produced in the pre-treatment system.

4. Solt. IAYERs AND TYPES
The shallow depth of installation is an advantage of the subsurface dripfield since the topsoil or
surface soil is generally the most biologically active and penneable soil for accepting water. The
topsoil also dries the fastest after a rainfall event and will maintain the highest water absorption
rate. The quality and homogeneity of the soil may present a problem If the soil was not properly
prepared and there are pieces of construction debris, rocks and non -uniform soils, it is very diffi-
cult to obtain uniform Water spread. In all cases, but particularly if the soil is compacted, soil prop-
erties can be greatly improved by ripping and disking.
5. ADDING FILL To TIC Di osO FIELD
Some disposal sites require additional soil be brought in for agronomic reasons or to increase sepa-
ration distances from the restrictive layer. Restrictive layers stop or greatly reduce the rate of
downward water movement, as a result surfacing may occur during part of the year. In soils with
high water tables treatment is minitnized due to a lack of oxygen.
Placing drip lines in selected fill material above the natural soil provides an aerated zone for treat-
ment Disposal however still occurs in the natural soil and the field size must be based on the hy-
draulic capability of the natural soil to prevent hydraulic overload
Any time fill material is to be used., the area to receive the fill should have all organic material re-
moved or it must be incorporated into the natural soil to .prevent an organic layer from forming
and restricting downward water movement
The fill material should be applied in shallow layers with the first 4 to 6 inches incorporated
Ainto the natural soil to prevent an abrupt textural interface. Continue this process until all
fill has been incorporated
The fill area should be left crowned to shed surface water and may need diversioa ditches or some
other devices to prevent surface water from infiltrating. The entire fill area should have a vegetative
cover to prevent erosion If possible allow the fill to set at least seven to ten days before installing
WASTEFLOW dripline.
6. HIGH Porm, SIPHONING AND sLOPES
A A potential problem with buried drip lines is siphoning dirt into the emitters when the
pump is switched off_ For this reason:
a) Drip lines should have a fairly constant slope. Run dripline along a contour.
b) At least one vacuum breaker should be installed at the highest point in each zone.
c) Avoid installing lines along rolling hills where you have high and low points along the same line.
If this is the case, connect all the high points together and install a vacuum breaker on the con-
necting line.
d) Drip lines should be connected at the end to a common return line with a flush valve

7. ExcESS1vE LEvEI. DIFFERENCES
WASTEFLOW Classic If the level variation within a WASTEFLOW Classic zone excaeds
Asix feet, individual pressure regulators should be placed for each six-foot interval.
WASTEFLOW PC. WASTEFLOW PC can tolerate ve
ry large heoght variations provided
the pressure remains within the 7 to 60 psi range, and preferably within 10 to 45 psi.
UpdMed
At the end of each dosing cycle water in the dripline will flow down to the bot-
tom lines within the drip zone. This is called "lowhead drainage". On a slope
site Geoflow recommends installing small manifolds with a maximum of 1500 ft
of Geoflow dripline within each zone or sub -zone to offset lowhead drainage.
8. May srrE
Concentrate drip lines at the top of the hill with wider spacing towards the bottom. In the case of
compound slopes consult a professional irrigation designer or engineer.
Updated
9. REUSE FOR IRRIGATION
A good vegetative cover is an advantage to prevent erosion from the field and utilize water applied
to the rooting zone. Sites should be planted or seeded immediately after installation. Grasses are
particularly suitable for this application. Most lawn grasses will use 0.25" to 0.35" (6.3-8.9mm) of
water per daY during the peak-grownig season. This calculates to be about 0.16 to 0.22 gal/ft2/
day, a significant part of the daily effluent loading. By overse+eding lawns with winter ryegrass, this
use efficiency can be continued through much of the year.
For vegetation using 0.16 to 0.22 gal/ft2/day by evapotranspiration, a sewage flow of 1000 gallons
per day would supply the water needs of a landscaped -area of 4600 to 6400 sq ft. without having to
add fresh water. For areas larger than this, the plants will suffer water stress during the hot months
unless additional fresh water is applied

SYSTEM INSTALLATION
1. INSTALiAUoN GMEUMS
All drip systems requires
a. 100 micron / 150 mesh filter
A b. filter flush valve
c. field flush valve and
d at least one air vent in each zone
All Wasteflow Classic drip systems require a pressure regulator.
Handle your dripline and components with care. ROOTGUARD ® is temperature sensi-
tive. To assure a long life, store the drip line out of direct sunlight in a cool place. This
Ashould be a consideration when installing the system in very hot and sunny areas. Your
system life span will be increased if it is buried an extra two or three inches below the soil
surface, to avoid the warm temperature extremes.
a) Excavation, filling and grading should have been finished before installation of the subsurface
drip system.
b) Be sure you have everything required for the installation before opening trenches. Pre-
assemble as many sets of components as practical above ground and in a comfortable place.
Compression or Lo&ship adapters should be glued to PVC tees, riser units should be pre -
assembled, the submairi manifold with tees can be pre -assembled and used to mark the begin-
ning and end of WASTEFLOW lines.
c) Condition soil moisture the day before opening trenches or installing WASTEFLOW. Remem-
ber it is much easier to install the system in moist soil. The soil should be moist but still should
allow the proper operation of the installation equipment. The soil surface should be dry so that
the installation equipment maintains traction.
d) Mark the four corners of the field The top two comers should be at the same elevation and
the bottom two comers should be at a lower elevation. Note for freezing conditions: the bot-
tom dripline must be higher than the supply and return line elevation at the dosing tank:
e) Install a watertight dosing tank. Note for freezing conditions the dosing tank should be at the
lowest elevation of the entire system
f) Install a watertight riser on the dosing tank.
g) Determine the proper size for the supply and return manifolds. See Worksheet line (L).
h) Install the PVC supply line from the dosing,tank, up hill through one lower and one upper cor-
ner stake of the disposal field Please refer to your State guidelines for depth of burial.
i) Paint a line between the two remaining comer stakes.
j) Install the Geoflow WASTEFLow dripline from the supply line trench to the painted line, ap-
proximately 6" to 10" deep as specified. Upon reaching the painted line, pull the plow out of
the ground and cut the dripline 1' above the ground Continue this process until the required
footage of and
is installed Geoflow dnphne must be spaded according to specification (2 ft. is
standard). Depth of burial of dripline must be consistent throughout the field Take care not
to get dirt into the lines.
Geoflow Design and Installation Manual - 2000
15

k) Install the supply header with tees lined up at each Geoflow line.
1) Hook up the Geoflow lines to the supply header. Do not glue WASTEFLOW dripline.
m) Install the Vortex filter and filter flush valve, or install the pie -assembled Headworks between
the field and the pump tank on the supply line. Insulate the box in freezing conditions.
n) If using WASTEFLOW Classic and if specified with WASTEFLOW PC, install the pressure regula-
tor downstream of the filter or Headworks, just ahead of the disposal fiel(t on the supply line.
Although the pressure regulator can be buried directly into the soil, it is preferable to install it
inside a small valve box for easy access. Insulate the box if freezing is a problem.
o) Install the.pump.
p) Fill the dosing tank.with fresh water and turn on the pump. Check for flow out the ends of all
of the Geoflow lines. Let the pump run for about 5 minutes to flush out any dirt. Shut off the
pump and tape the ends of the lines.
q) Dig the return header ditch along the line painted on the ground and back to the pre-treatment
tank. Start the return header at the farthest end from the dosing tank The return line must
have slope bade to the treatment tank or septic tank
r) Install the return header and connect all of the Geoflow lines. Care must be taken, not to kink
the dripline.
s) Install an air vacuum breaker at the highest point in the disposal field Use pipe dope or Teflon
tape and hand tighten.
t) Install a ball or solenoid field flush valve on the return line to the pretreatment tank unless a
Headworks is being used If a Headworks was installed on the supply line, connect the re tam
line back through the Headworks box. Open the field flush valve and turn on the;pump to
flush lines then close the valve and check the field and all piping and connections for leaks. -
Tum off the system
u) Install the floats in the dosing tank and wire up to the timer control. The -timer control should
be set to pump no more than the design flow, do not set to match the treatment capacity.
v) Turn on the pump and check the pressure at the air vacuum breaker(s). It should be between
15 to 45 PSI. See the Worksheet line (H) for design pressure. Check the pressure in the
WASTEFLOW Headworks if used It should be 5 psi or higher. If using a manual ball valve for
field flushing, crack it open until one PSI is lost and leave in that position.
w) Provide owner with final as -built diagrams, flow measurements and pressure readings at start
up.

Buried drip systems are not prone to frost damage bemuse, in their design, vacuum release and
drain valves are provided Please follow the following precautions:
a) Manifolds, supply lines and return lines must be sloped back to their respective dosing or
treatment tanks. Under extreme conditions return and supply manifolds must be insulated
or buried below frontline. Be sure drain valve on flush line remains open long enough for
entire field to drain.
b) Remove the check valve at the pump.
c) Insulate equipment boxes, including Headworks box or filter and field flush valve boxes as
well as zone dosing valves, pressure regulator and air vacuum relief valves. Use dosed -cell
insulation such as pedite in a plastic bag
d) The top of air vacuum relief valves must be no higher than soil surface.
e) If using an index valve to split field zones, be sure it is capable of self -draining.
0 WASTEFLOW lines will self -drain through the emitters into the soil. If the cover crop
over the dripfreld is not yet adequately established, add hay or straw over the field for insu-
lation.
g) Mark the valve bo with a metal pin so you can find it in the winter when covered m snow.
h) If using manual filter flush valves or manual field flush valves, they should be left cracked
open slightly to provide for drainage of the flush line in freezing conditions..
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE:
The best way to assure years of trouble free life from your system is to continuously monitor the
system and to perform regular maintenance functions. For large systems or systems with a BOD >
20 mg/l automation of maintenance is essential. For smaller systems with a BOD < 20 mg/1 bi-
annual inspection and maintenance is adequate.
1) Remove the spin filter and install a clean cartridge. Clean the used filter cartridge back at the
shop with a pressure hose. The filter cartridge should be cleaned from the outside inwards. If
bacteria buildup is a problem we advise first trying lye, and if the problem persists, soak it in a
chlorine bath. Soak the filter cartridge in a mixture of 50% bleach and 50% water.
2) Open the field flush valve.
3) Manually turn on the pump.
4) Flush the system for approximately five minutes.
5) Close the field flush valve.
6) Check for proper pressures in the field and if a ball valve is used reset the field flush valve for
1-psi loss.
7) Remove the lids on the vacuum breaker and check for proper operation.
8) Turn off the pump and reset. the controller for auto mode.
9) Periodically remove and clean the field flush and filter flush valves.
10) Periodically remove and clean the field flush and filter flush valves.

WASTEFLOW DRIPLIHE
1
DESCRIPTION
The flexible 1/2" polyethylene dripline has large
emitters regularly spaced in the line. With the dnp-
line hidden about six inches below ground effluent
is distributed slowly and uniformly, reducing pond-
ing, even in difficult soils and hilly terrain.
WASTEFLOW is built to last. It is guaranteed to
be trouble -free from root intrusion with built-in
ROOTGUARDO protection, and the driplinewall
is protected from organic growth with a bactericide
lining.
WASTEFLOW provides uniform distribution.
The emitters have a Coefficient of variation (Cv )
of less than .05.
Different flow rates, dripline diameters and
emitter spacings can be special ordered.
Use 600 series compression adapters or
Lockslip fittings to connect the dripline to
PVC pipe.
ROOTGUARD• PROTECTION
WASTEFLOW dripline features patented ROOT -
GUARD technology to prevent roots from clog-
ging the emission points. The pre -emergent,
Treflan®, is bound into WASTEFLOW emitters
when they are molded to divert roots from growing
into the emitter outlet. The system is guaranteed
against mot intrusion for 10 years.
BACTERICIDE PROTECTION
Ultra -Fresh DM50 is incorporated into the inner
lining of WASTEFLOW dripline to prevent bacte-
ria from forming and eliminates the need to scour
the tubing. It is a tin based formula that defeats
the energy system of microbial cells.
WHEN TO USE WASTEFLOW PC VS. WASTEFLOW CLASSIC
Geoflow, Inc offers WASTEFLOW dripline in both
pressure compensating (WASTEFLOW PC) and non -
compensating (WASTEFLOW Classic) models.
We recommend that WASTEFLOW PC be used when
the advantages are of substantial economic value.
a) Very long runs.
b) Steep slopes. Systems should be designed for the
dripline lateral to follow the contour. If this is pos-
sible, the extra oast of pressure regulators required
for WASTEFLOW Classic would likely be less
than the incnerrnental cost of WASTEFLOW PC.
c) Rolling tenain. if the difference in height from
trough to peak exceeds six feet then
WASTEFLOW PC should be used Vacuum relief
valves must be placed at the top of each rise.
WASTEFLOW PC and WASTEFLOW Classic can be
interchanged to meet filter and zone flow requirements.
WASTEFLOW is manufactured in the U.S.A.

VORTEX FILTERS
...........................................:................................................................:
Description
The filters are placed between the pump and drip -
field to screen out any debris
Body — Two-piece threaded housing with O-ring
seal. Molded from high heat ABS and chemical
resistant glass reinforced plastic
Screen - Sintered stainless steel. Sintering is a
process in which three pieces of stainless steel
mesh are transformed into one; a perforated plate,
30m then 150 mesh. Screen collars molded from
vinyl for long life and durability.
Spin Plate and drain - Directional spin plate is
molded of PVC or fiberglass.
Vortex Spin Action - Incoming water is forced
through a directional nozzle plate onto the inside of
the stainless steel screen. A centrifugal motion
starts inside the screen chamber, throM%organic
and inorganic particles outward against the screen.
Gravity, moves the debris down the screen wall to
the 3/a" flush outlet at the base of the Vortex Filter.
24
To stay clean, 2 criteria must be met::
a. Flow into the filter must be within the specified
range to produce a 5 to 8 psi pressure differen-
tial across the filter.
b. The filter flush valve must be partially to fully
open allowing debris to flush away.

Pump and Valve Operation-.
•PimPdMR9cffare controlled by the timers when
the H-O-A switch is in the auto position. Under
nomral conditions the primary" timer will control
the pump. During high flow conditions, the over-
ride timer will control the pump. The over -ride
timer will cycle the pump more frequently than the
primary timer. The pump will dose for the same
amount of time but the time in between doses, or
the over -ride timer `Off time", will be one half that
of the primary timer "off time". (For example, if
your primary timer settings are one hour fifty-four
minutes off and five minutes on then your over-
ride timer settings would be approximately fifty-
five minutes off and five minutes on.)
• TES Vontm Ft&rjksb to ewlL open for 1 minute (field
adjustable) at the end of the pump cycle to allow the
filter to self -flush. When the Vortex Filter flush is
complete, the pump will remain activ� ed'for 15 sec-
onds (field adjustable) to amoYunodate the opening of
the field flush valve.
• 7be./W.%buahewill Open during the 15 seconds the .
Pump is still activated after filter flush cycle. After the
pump is deactivated the flush valve will remain open
for one minute (field adjustable) to allow for drainage
of the return line. -
For severe freezing conditions allow five minutes
for the field to drain.
To periodically flush the dripfield, after 10 dosing cy-
des (field adjustable) the pump will continue to run
for 5 minutes (field adjustable) after the field flush
valve is opened and the field flush valve will stay open
until all zones have been flushed. This operation will
also occur after a power outage

Description
The Solenoid Valve is electrically operated and
used to flush the dripfield and Vortex Filter. It is
norrrally closed, and in the event of a power
failure the valve closes.
Features
Unique Dual Ported Diaphragm greatly minirnb�es
clogging. In operation, the diaphragm ports con-
stantly flex, inhibiting sand, silt and debris from
blocking the valve action.
The porting design also permits equal pressure on
both sides of the diaphragm wall, regardless of line
pressure when valve is not operating, and nearly
equal pressure across the wall when operating.
This feature prevents diaphragm "stretching", a
common cause of valve failure in valves that are
ported through the seat.
The DW Valve diaphragm is made of nylon fabric
reinforced Buna N rubber, a grooved rib interlocks
with cover and body to prevent leakage.
Nylon exhaust orifice is non -corrosive and has
an opening sized larger than the diaphragm ports
so that any pieces of sand or silt passing through
the diaphragm will not be trapped beneath the
solenoid actuator.
Solenoid is constructed of molded epoxy resin hav-
ing no carbon steel components exposed thereby
eliminating possible external corrosion and deterio-
ration. Solenoid is completely waterproof, with an
0-ring seal, and complies with NEC Class II cir-
cuit requirements for 24V a.c. operation (also oper-
ates on 12 volts d.c. up to 75 psi).
The actuator is teflon coated stainless steel and
brass with a molded -in place rubber exhaust port
SOLENOID VALVES
seal; a stainless steel spring assures positive seating.
High strength plastic glass -Filled body and
cover designed to operate in heavy duty
commercial applications. Stainless steel 1/4
inch cover bolts and mating brass body inserts
make reassembly easy.
Shock cone on diaphragm seat ehminates water ham-
mer in all except extreme rases.
Flow control. A brass, non -rising type flow control
stem for throttling the valve from full open to close
positions.
Manual bleed lever. An easy -to -use, hand operated
control bleeds valve to dovwtream; has stops for
open and closed positions.
Operating Data
Cold water working pressure: 150 psi
The DW Valve has excellent low flow characteristics
ideally suited for dripfield and Vortex filter applica-

APPROVAL DATE: August 29, 2000
In accordance with 15A NCAC 18A .1969, an application by Karen Ferguson, Geoflow, Inc., of Charlotte, North Carolina,
for approval of their subsurface wastewater drip system has been reviewed, and the system has been found to meet the
standards of an innovative system when the following conditions for use, monitoring and operation are met:
I. - System description:
a. Collection system: conventional gravity, pressure sewer fed by grinder pumps or individual septic tank effluent
pumping units.
b. Pretreatment: Aerobic System: DEH-approved Pressure Dosed Sand Filter, Peat Biofilter, Aerobic
Treatment Unit, or approved equal.
C. Filtration: Automatic, self-cleaning screen filter(s) (appropriately sized Geoflow Vortex Screen Filter[s],
or approved equal) capable of screening particles larger than -or equal to 100 microns. :
d. Manifold: Common line (Schedule 40 PVC) to connect all the dripline in a single field at the start of
the field and the distal ends of the dripline (flush end).
e. Air vent: Air Vacuum Breaker(s) installed at the high point(s) of each dripfield to keep soil from being
sucked into the drip emitters due to back siphoning or backpressure.
f. Dripline: Geoflow's Wasteflow PC dripline with pressure -compensating emitters spaced uniformly
in the tubing (24-inch or 12-inch centers). The tubing consists of three layers; the inside

layer is a bactericide protector, the middle layer is black and the outside layer is purple -
striped for easy identification. The emitters are impregnated with Treflan® to inhibit root
intrusion.
Field flushing valve: An automatic valve used to enable accumulated debris and sediment to be flushed from the
dripline back to the pretreatment unit.
System Controls: Control/software package controlling all functions, including filter flushing, system dosing
and flushing, audible/visible alarms, and for larger systems (> 600 gpd), flow monitoring,
self diagnostics, and telemetry capabilities.
II. Siting criteria:
The Geoflow Subsurface Drip System may be utilized on sites that meet the following criteria:
Sites classified suitable or provisionally suitable in accordance with Rules .1939-.1948;
ii. Sites reclassified to be provisionally suitable in accordance with Rules .1956(1), (2), (4), (5) or (6a);
iii. Sites meeting the criteria for low pressure pipe systems in accordance with Rule .1957(a)(2); or
iv. Sites meeting the criteria for new or existing fill, in accordance with Rule .1957(b). The system is considered
a fill system when all or part of the drip tubing shall be installed in fill material. For existing fill systems, the
minimum vertical separation distance between the drip tubing or installed trench bottom and any soil wetness
condition or any soil horizon unsuitable as to soil structure, clay mineralogy, organic soil, rock or saprolite
shall be 18 inches.
Required vertical separation requirements shall be measured from the bottom of the drip tubing, or the installed
trench bottom, whichever is deeper. All reductions in vertical separation allowed in the Rules and for other
Approved Innovative Systems based on the use of low pressure pipe or drip distribution systems shall apply (per
recommendation of an NC Licensed Soil Scientist, as applicable).
The minimum horizontal setback requirements as allowed for aerobic treatments units in accordance with Rule
.1957(c)(5)(a), or as allowed in conjunction with the use of other Approved Innovative Systems, shall be met, as
applicable.
III. System sizing:
a. The following table shall be used in determining the long -tern acceptance rate (LTAR) for the Geoflow Subsurface
Drip System. The LTAR shall be based on the most hydraulically limiting soil horizon within 18 inches of the
naturally occurring ground surface or to a depth of one foot below drip tubing, whichever is deeper.

(adjustable and variable between zones) at designer -specified time intervals (flow equalization); automatic
flushing of integral unit filters (filter flushing), initiated by a timer (adjustable duration); automatic flushing
(at least weekly) of the drip laterals (field flushing) with filtered effluent for designer -specified duration; and
monitor pump cycles and run times (for each pump) and flow (with totalizing flow meter, or equal). For
systems designed fbr over 600 gallons per day, controls shall also monitor alarm conditions (high water, power
outage), flow volume to each zone and flow variance indication when flow is + or - 20% of design.
ii. Controls and float levels shall be synchronized to assure the minimum dose is available prior to initiating a
dosing cycle to a zone or subfield. Minimum dose volume per zone shall be six times the liquid capacity of
the drip laterals plus the liquid capacity of the supply.and return manifold lines (only the portion which drain
between doses). Minimum automatic field flushing volume per zone shall be two times the liquid capacity
of the drip laterals plus the liquid capacity of supply and return and manifold lines that drain between doses.

iii. Duplex pump dosing system shall be provided whenever the design flow rate exceeds 3000 gallons per day
or when the total length of drip lines exceeds 10,000 feet.
iv. A telemetry system shall be provided for systems with a design flow greater than 600 gallons per day,
whereby the operator shall be notified immediately of alarm conditions (high water and power outage) and
flow variance (+ or - 201/6). Telemetry system and ahem shall include automatically rechargeable battery
backup power supply.
Floats, pump and control circuits, and the control panel shall meet the requirements of Rule .1952(c). Panel
and control equipment shall include lightning protection, be protected from unauthorized access, and remain
accessible at all times to the system operator.
Geoflow Subsurface Drip System Field Design (See Section VII for designer responsibilities):

rolyethylene dripline containing bactericide incorporated into the inner lining and Treflan® root intrusion
inhibitor bound into the pressure -compensating emitters. Manufacturer guarantees roots shall be effectively
inhibited by this product for a minimum period often years. Pressure compensating emitters shall be spaced
uniformly along the dripline on a maximum of two foot centers and designed to deliver 0.53, 0.63, 0.75, or
1.02 gallons per hour per emitter (+ or - 51/6) at internal tubing pressures of 7 to 60 pounds per square inch.
ii. Individual drip lines shall be designed and installed level, following the naturally occurring ground contour
(allow maximum variance of + or - two inches within any linear segment), on at least two foot centers.
Solvent welded heavy duty nonperforated flexible PVC pipe shall be used to connect the supply and return
manifolds with the driplines, or to connect common driplines installed at varying depths or locations (e.g.:
in stepdowns or to connect looped drip line segments). The connection lines shall be made to the driplines
by solvent welded Geoflow compression adapters or Geoflow Lockslip fittings, or approved equal.
Connection lines shall be conveyed over earthen dams constructed at least 2-inches higher than the driplines
served, to retain effluent in the lines at the end of each doge cycle.
iii. The field shall consist of a minimum of two separately and automatically dosed and valved zones whenever
the total length of dripline exceeds 5000 linear feet, the design flow exceeds 600 gallons per day, or as
otherwise needed to meet irrigation and/or flushing requirements.
iv. The hydraulic design shall be based on achieving the following conditions:
- No more than a 10 percent variation in flow between any individual emitters anywhere within a
separately dosed zone, including any drain back.
- When the slope exceeds 10 percent, check valves shall be used in the supply and return manifolds, or
other acceptable means identified to minimize disproportionate amount of drainage into the lowest area
of the zone.
- Maintenance of scour velocity of at least 1.2 feet per second in the supply line from the dosing tank to
the beginning of the drip field during normal dosing cycles.
- Maintenance of flushing velocities of at least 12 feet per second in each supply manifold segment during
field flushing, and maximum flushing -velocities less than 10 feet per second in each supply and return
manifold segment.
- Minimum pressure of 10 pounds per square inch during flushing flows and a maximum of 60 pounds
per square inch during normal dosing flows.

- Maintenance of flushing velocities of at least one foot per second at the distal end of each dripline during
automatic field flushing, with valving provided to enable flushing velocities of at least two feet per
second at the distal end of each dripline to be achieved with manual flushing.
Field appurtenances include an air vent at the high point(s)/outlet of each zone; check valve at the high
point/outlet of each zone (when there are more than one zone); solenoid valve with separate isolation valves
on each side at the low point/inlet to each zone; cleanout at each end of the supply and return manifolds; a
separate cleanout at the distal end of the supply line to each zone; and pressure monitoring fittings at the field
inlet and outlet points and at both ends of the supply and return manifolds. The operator must be able to
service all solenoid valves and air vents and check pressures without effluent discharging from the network
in preparation for these maintenance/testing procedures. Valves and cleanouts shall be provided with
protective vaults or boxes.
V. Installation and Testing Procedures:
a. Dosing tank shall be demonstrated to be watertight by a 24-hour leakage test (maximum of 1/2-inch rise or fall in
24 hours) or vacuum test. Test shall be run with risersland inlet/outlet pipes in place.
b. Drainfield area shall be prepared in a manner that minimizes site disturbance. No equipment shall cross the field
areas during rainfall events, or when the fields are above field capacity ("boo wet to plow'. Lightweight equipment
only shall be used to remove trees, roots, and rocks, with hand incorporation of select fill material used to eliminate
weak spots where roots or boulders must be removed. Field shall be prepared as needed to enable a grass cover
to be established and maintained prior to line installation.
C. Field laterals shall be staked out by use of an engineer's or laser level and tape to assure conformation with natural
contours and design requirements for sizing, location and separations. Maximum drip line depth shall be in
accordance with permit conditions.
d. When a trencher is used, trench bottoms shall be hand cleaned and drip tubing shall be secured to the center of the
trench bottom prior to backfilling. -
e. Fields shall be installed in accordance with manufacturers recommendations for each site. A vibratory plow, static
plow or trencher is most typically used and soil moisture must be dry enough so that soil compaction will not occur.
f. Minimum soil cover over drip tubing shall be six inches, to finished grade. Cover material shall be free of rocks
or debris. Minimum depth of valves in protective vaults or boxes shall be at least 18 inches below grade.
g. Extreme care must be taken during system installation to assure no extraneous debris enters the tankage, supply
lines, and drip line network. Supply lines and manifolds shall be flushed out prior to system startup.
h. Manufacturer's recommendations shall be followed for system startup. All leaks in pipe network or from emitters
exhibiting excessive emission rates as evidenced by wet spots during dosing cycles comparable to normal operating
conditions shall be repaired. Normal dosing and flushing flow rates and flushing pressure at the ends of each zone
supply and return manifold shall be measured and determined to be in accordance with design criteria.
i. Fields shall be finished graded to shed surface water and in a matter which facilitates easy maintenance with
standard mowing equipment. Provisions shall be made to establish and maintain a vegetative cover so as to prevent
erosion and to allow for effective system inspection.
j. All mechanical components, pumps, pump cycling, filters, flushing, high water alarm and telemetry systems, as
applicable, must be demonstrated to be fully operable in accordance with their design.

VI. Operation, Maintenance and Monitoring Requirements:
System management entity, inspection/maintenance and reporting frequency requirements shall be comparable to
at least Type V(c) systems in Rule .1961(b), Table V(b), except that the maximum inspection interval shall be
monthly for the first year of operation and quarterly thereafter (continued monthly for any system with a design flow
exceeding 3000 gallons per day, and more frequently as required for advanced pretreatment units, where
applicable).
The ORC shall provide monitoring reports to the health department which include a log of all malfunction
incidences/notifications and maintenance activities. Minimum maintenance during each required inspection shall
include visual observation of the.dripfield(s), checking/cleaning filter screen(s), measured dosing flow rate to each
zone, and recording of flow meter reading, pump run times and cycle counts. Manual field flushing (operating
valves as needed to achieve minimum flushing velocity of two feet per second) shall be done at least annually, and
flushing flow rates and pressure head measurements during flushing at the inlet and outlet of each field zone shall
be taken at least once per year.
For systems with a design flow rate of over 600 gallons per day, the operator in responsible charge (ORC) shall be
telemetrically notified of high water, power outage, flow variance (+ or — 20%) and catastrophic failure (+ or —
50%) conditions.
d. The ORC shall also conduct other additional observations, measurements, monitoring, and maintenance activities
as specified in the Operation Permit and as recommended by the manufacturer of the Geoflow system and as
required for any applicable advanced pretreatment system that may also be present.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Elmore:
Staff of the Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) conducted a compliance inspection on
September 25th, 2019. The MRO would like to thank your AQWA tech nicians'(Chad and Jeff)
for their time during the site visit. The treatment and irrigation systems appeared to be
operating adequately at the time of inspection. Please note the following comments to' maintain
overall program compliance:
• The permit requires connection to a municipal system should access become available in
your area; otherwise, a renewal application is due 6 months prior to the expiration date of
September 30th, 2020.
For future reference a renewal form may be located at the NCDEQ website below.

Then, scroll to the "Single -Family Residence System" form SFRWWIS-R — 09-18.
• The application field needs typical maintenance for underbrush, downed trees and wire
fence repair (side facing the house). Only one typical dripline repair was needed and
corrected by your contractors at the time of inspection. The MRO is aware that wooded
application sites require consistent maintenance of driplines, underbrush and fencing.
Per the previous inspection report, you were to maintain documentation of the
required owner weekly UV and monthly system/field inspections. Please email a
copy (or photo) of your most recent Pape of entries to my address below.
The inspection report should be self-explanatory; however, I may be reached by phone (704-

pondinq and likely over application in those areas. Because of the damage to drip lines the specified
acreage is not beinq utilized and the application equipment is not operatinq correctly.

RE: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
NOV-2015-PC-0080
Wastewater Surface Irrigation System
Permit #WQ0030259
Cabarrus County, N.C.
On March 18, 2015, Maria Schutte of -the Division of Water Resources (DWR) of the Mooresville
Regional Office (MRO) met with staff from your system contractor (AQWA) to conduct a
compliance inspection in conjunction with the permit renewal. The treatment system appeared to
be operating correctly; however, the MRO noted the following conditions of concern at the
application field.
There is an overgrowth of underbrush in the application field, which was noted in the last
inspection report of July 2nd, 2012.
The field is not fenced. This was also noted in the last inspection report. And, new nearby
development has since encroached closer to the application site increasing the need for
fencing.
There were holes in the drip lines causing uneven application and creating the potential for
ponding and runoff issues. The damage to the drip lines was apparently the result of target
practice located adjacent to the application field near zone 1. Damage has been noted in
all 3 zones, per contractor reports.
The issues stated are violations of the following permit conditions:
Permit Condition 1.3. states — The surface irrigation facilities shall be effectively maintained and
operated at all times so that there is no ... failure of the irrigation area to adequately assimilate
wastewater...

Harrisburg, NC 28075
Re: Drip Irrigation Field Damage
Dear Mr. Elmore,
We completed the fall inspection and maintenance visit on 10/28/14. We found that your drip
system has a flow of 3 times the gallons per minute that should be dispersing. This is due to the
damage done to your drip tubing due to bullets and arrows piercing the tubing. We have sent
you letters about this previously in January and May of 2013.
No repairs were made to the drip field tubing during this inspection as the repair of the
extensive damage is not covered under our standard contract. We will be happy to repair the
drip field, but this would be billable to you as a separate cost not covered under your contract.
Please let us know if you would like forus to schedule a repair call.
We again would encourage you to find another location for discharging weapons as your drip
irrigation system is sustaining extensive damage and could incur a large expense for you if the
county finds you out of compliance of your permit requirements.
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your business.
Sincerely,
Tammy Sanders

RE: Inspection Report
Wastewater Surface Irrigation System
Permit No. WQ0030259
Cabarrus County, N.C.
Dear Ms. Wright and Mr. Elmore:
.Enclosed you will find the report for the compliance inspection that I conducted, with Mike Barry of AQWA, on
June 13, 2012: I noted durinq the inspection that a fence has not been installed around the application
field(s) This is a condition of your permit as noted in the Operation And Maintenance Requirements
(specifically 11 10) In addition the application fields are in need of minor maintenance for tree saplmq / brush
removal. Otherwise, the treatment and disposal system appears to be operating satisfactorily.
Please note that recently passed legislation (SL 2009-406 & SL 2010-177) has extended the expiration date of
your permit to July 31, 2014. Please send a renewal application at least six months prior to this date.
Should you have any questions, feel free to call me at 704-235-2184 or contact me via email at
[e-mail]. .
Sincerely,
Maria Schutte
Environmental Senior Technician
