must be received from a professional engineer certifying that the permitted facility has been
installed in accordance with this permit, the approved plans and specifications, and other
supporting materials. If this project is to be completed in phases and partially certified, you
shall retain the responsibility to track further construction approved under the same permit and
shall provide a final certificate of completion once the entire project has been completed. Mail
the Certification to the Land Application Unit, 1636 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-
1636.
2. The Mooresville Regional Office, telephone number [phone], shall be notified at least
forty-eight (48) hours in advance of operation of the installed facilities so that an in -place
inspection can be made. Such notification to the regional supervisor shall be made during the
normal office hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding State
Holidays.

PF
The surface irrigation facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so that
there is no discharge to surface waters, nor any contamination of ground waters, which will
render them unsatisfactory for normal use. In the event that the facilities fail to perform
satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions or failure of the irrigation area to
adequately assimilate the wastewater, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions
including those actions that may be required by the Division of Water Quality, such as the
construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment and disposal facilities.
4. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to
surface or ground waters resulting from the operation of this facility.
The use, design, and installation of the recirculating OSI Advantex AX 20 textile media filter
must comply with the specifications and conditions as set forth in the Division of
Environmental Health On -Site Wastewater Section's Approved Innovative Wastewater System
NO: IWWS-2004-03. The Engineer's Certification will serve as evidence that these
specifications have been met.
6. A leakage test shall be performed on the septic tank and storage/pump tank(s) to insure that any
exfiltration occurs at a rate, which does not exceed twenty (20) gallons per twenty-four (24)
hours per 1,000 gallons of tank capacity. The Engineer's Certification will serve as proof of
compliance with this condition.
7. If excavation into bedrock is required for the installation of the septic tank or sand filter, the pit
shall be lined with a 10-mil synthetic liner.
8. A sanitary tee and filter shall be installed on the effluent pipe of the septic tank. The Engineer's
Certification will serve as evidence that these specifications have been met.
9. The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed in accordance with
General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the Division.
10. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.
11. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a. 100 feet between wetted area and any residence or places of public assembly under separate
ownership,

Dear Mr. DeCaron:
The Aquifer Protection Section has completed a review of the permit application received August
17, 2006, and is in need of additional information before further review of the permit can be made.
Please address the following items no later than December 22, 2006.
■ On Sheet 1 of the plans, it is not clear that all structures, application areas, property lines,
or other drainage features within 500 feet of the project are shown or noted as not
present, please clarify or correct it.
It is apparent on Sheet 1 of the plans that the treatment units of this facility are located
within 50 feet of the property line defining the southern edge of the property. This is in
violation of the setback described in Title 15A NCAC 2H .0219 0)(5). Please correct
this by either providing a written agreement signed by both parties allowing for the
location of the treatment units within 50 feet of the property line, or change their location
on the property.
■ The highest elevations along the drip lines of either zone were not labeled on either plan
sheet. Please correct this.
■ Please provide float elevations for the floats located in the recirculation tank shown on
Sheet 2.
■ Maintenance procedures for the UV lamp could not be located in the Operation and
Maintenance plan. Please clarify or correct.
■ Manufacturer's specifications for the UV lamp that provided lamp performance could not
be located in the Specifications section.
■ In the Calculations section, Total Dynamic Head for the system for determining pump
size uses a pipe diameter of 1.25 inches for the entire length of run from the pump to the
field but the plans show a pipe diameter of 1.0 inch for the subheaders and supply lines.

It is also noted that on Table4-PVC provided by Geoflow, the conditions present in a
system using 1.0 inch diameter pipe operating at 13.05 gpm are cause for warning.
Please address, and if the pipe diameter for the supply and subheader lines remain at 1.0
inch diameter, please provide a statement from Geoflow, in writing, that the system as
designed with those pipe diameters will operate in a proper fashion.

inches per hour differs from the operating specifications of the Geoflow PC drip line for
the proposed dose time per zone, please clarify why this is different or correct it.
Two major deficiencies were noted in the soil report provided by Mr. Owens. The first is
that the site was evaluated for a 360 gpd facility, not a 480 gpd facility, and secondly no
soil boring/pit logs were provided. Please provide all the soil boring and pit logs
conducted by the soil scientist; and verify that there is no further evaluation or
consideration needed for the larger facility. Also lacking in the soil scientists report is
the seasonal high water table elevation for the borings and site, as well as the locations
for Ksat tests conducted; please make sure that this information is submitted with the soil
logs.
Further concerns with this application will be forthcoming. If any of this information has
changed, or you have any questions regarding this request, please contact me at [phone] or email

Reference: SUMMARY REPORT
SOIL AND SITE EVALATON FOR A
SURFACE DRIP WASTEWATER TREATMENT
AND DISPERSION (SEPTIC) SYSTEM
FOR PROPERTY LOCATED ALONG OLD CHARLOTTE HIGHWAY
MONROE, NORTH CAROLINA
Dear Mr. Presley:
Introduction
This report summarizes the activities, observations, data collection and recommendations for a Soil
and Site Evaluation for a Surface Drip Wastewater Treatment and Dispersion (Septic) System with
a design waste flow of 360-gallons per day for a 3-bedroom residence. The site is approximately
12facres in size located along Old Charlotte Highway in Monroe, North Carolina. It is through my
understanding the property was finally evaluated by Mr. David Finley an Environmental Health
Specialist with Union County Environmental Health during the month of April 2006 (Attachment
A). Based on the evaluation and the criteria set out in Title 15A, Subchapter 18A, of the North
Carolina Administrative Code, Rules 11940 through .1948, the evaluation indicated that the site
was unsuitable for a ground absorption sewage system of which they were aware and could not
approve at the local level. In conclusion and after meeting with the design engineer Mr. B. K.
Barringer of Piedmont Design Associates, P. A. we decided to pursue a surface drip disposal system
permitted through NCDENR-DWQ. Please note that this report does not express or imply
individual lot or site approval for a septic system installation. As mentioned in previous phone
conversations it is possible that inclusions of suitable and unsuitable soils may not have been
observed during the walkover.
Background Information
The scope of the limited soil investigation was to provide a Soil and Site Evaluation on the
subject site as requested by Mr. Presley the potential owner and as required by the Union County
Environmental Health Department. Based on the field observation conducted by Mr. Finley and

as previously discussed with Mr. Presley it appears that the parcel would be suitable for an
alternative septic system Surface Drip Wastewater Treatment and Dispersion (Septic) System for
a 3-bedroom residence.
To properly design the drainfield for the on -site septic system, several factors are considered,
including but limited to topography, soil characteristics, soil wetness conditions, soil depths,
restrictive horizons, available space with required setbacks, impact of water table and surface
water and a permanent vegetative cover management plan.
Site Location
The parcel encompasses approximately 12facres in size is located along Old Charlotte Highway
in Monroe, North Carolina (Figure 1). The property is bounded to the north by Old Charlotte
Highway, to the east by developed residential property, to the south by Sun Valley High School
and to the west by undeveloped property (pasture).
Soil Survey Map Description
The U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Services (MRCS), previously known as the Soil
Conservation Service, of Union County Soil Survey map indicates one soil type (unit) present on
the site (Figure 2). This soil unit includes two soil types the Goldston and the Badin.
This map unit consists mainly of shallow and moderately deep, well drained to excessively drained
undulating Goldston and Badin soils on ridges in the uplands. The topography is highly dissected by
intermittent drainageways. The unit is about 45 percent Goldston soil and about 40 percent Badin soil.
The two soils occur as areas so intricately mixed that mapping them separately is not practical at the
selected scale. Individual areas are irregular n shape and range from 5 to more than 100 acres in size.
Typically, the surface layer of the Goldston soil is brown very channery silt loam 5 inches thick. The
subsoil is light yellowish brown very channery silt loam 11 inches thick. Weathered, fractured slate
bedrock is at a depth of about 16 inches. Hard, fractured bedrock is at a depth of 27 inches. In some
places bedrock extends to the surface, resulting in narrow, scattered bands of rock outcrop. In other
areas fragstones are in and on the surface layer.

Permeability is moderately rapid in the Goldston soil. Available water capacity is very low. Reaction
ranges from extremely acid to strongly acid in the subsoil and underlying material. It varies widely in
the surface layer as a result of local liming practices. The shrink -swell potential is low. The hazard of
erosion is moderate in bare or unprotected areas. Flat slate fragment on the surface create a mulch
effect that helps to hold water in the soil and helps to control. Erosion. The depth to weathered bedrock
ranges from 10 to 20 inches. The depth to hard bedrock ranges from 20 to 40 inches.
The Badin soil is well drained. It is moderately deep over bedrock. Typically, the surface layer is
brown channery silt loam 7 inches thick. The subsoil is 21 inches thick. In the upper part, it is red silty
clay and in the lower part it is red channery silty clay loam that has yellow and strong brown mottles.
Weathered, fractured slate bedrock is at a depth of about 28 inches. Hard fracture slate bedrock is at a
depth of 41 inches. In eroded areas where the upper part of the subsoil has been mixed with the surface
soil by plowing, the surface layer is reddish brown channery silty clay loam. In some areas the surface
layer is silt loam.
Permeability and shrink -swell potential is typically described as moderate. Available water
capacity is low or moderate. This soil is typically described as strongly to extremely acid to
extremely acid in the subsoil and underlying material. The hazard of erosion is moderate in bare
or unprotected areas. Flat slate fragment on the surface create a mulch effect that helps to hold
water in the soil and helps to control. Erosion. The depth to weathered bedrock ranges from 20
to 40 inches. The depth to hard bedrock ranges from 20 to 40 inches.
On -Site Soil Investigation (May S through 9, 2006)
On May 5, 2006 a preliminary Soil and Site walkover was conducted on a limited portion of the
subject property. The objective of the walkover was to determine the location of the proposed
initial and repair wastewater treatment and dispersion (septic) treatment area that would
accommodate a design waste flow of 360-gallons per day for a 3-bedroom residence.
The topography of the site is nearly level to gently sloping with topographic a gradient 0 to 10
percent (Photographs 1 and 2). Eight soil auger borings were advanced to a depth of 48-inches
or until unsuitable characteristics were encountered by using a hand auger. These soil borings
were used to characterize soil properties such as texture, structure, consistency, soil horizon

thickness, depth to seasonal high water table or weathered bedrock, and the presence of
restrictive horizons. Soil structure, texture and soil horizon thickness (soil layer thickness) were
determined and estimated by field observation. Typical suitable soil depths ranged form 10 to 20
inches in depth.
To establish a better understanding of the soils in questioned and to determine the final design
for the proposed surface drip septic system, on May 8, 2006 we had the contractor excavate five
pedons (pits) within the proposed treatment areas (Photographs 3) (Summary Table 1, Typical
Soil Pit Description). These pits were used to characterize the soil profiles. Soil properties such
as texture, structure, consistency, soil horizon thickness, depth to seasonal high water table,
weathered bedrock, CEC, pH, nutrient potential and the presence of restrictive horizons were
evaluated. For ease of reading English units were used in reference to soil depths.
Typical soil description based on the soil borings located on the subject site generally consisted
of 4-inch thick brown silt loam A horizon. The yellowish brown silt loam to loam Btl soil
horizon was 6 to 20-inches thick and the BC horizon was typically greater than 29-inches. Most
limiting factor was mottled soil (gray soil color) and depth to bedrock (fractured bedrock)
(Photographs 4 through 21).
In Situ Hydraulic Conductivity (May 9, 2006)
On May 9, 2006 two saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) measurements were taken in the
field from two locations. The advanced field instrument, the Compact Constant Head
Permeameter (CCHP), was used to measure in -situ hydraulic conductivity of the soil on the
proposed site (Photographs 22 through 23). Measurements were continuously taken in moist soil
conditions for a period of 24 hours. Recommended hydraulic loading rates were determined
from the Btl soil horizon (most restrictive horizon) and field data. The Ksat of the Btl soil
horizons were 0.009 and 0.011 in/hr respectively. According to the U.S. Natural Resources
Conservation Services (NRCS), previously known as the Soil Conservation Service of Union
County the Soil Survey maps indicates the permeability of the Btl (most restrictive horizon) soil
horizon to be 2.0 to 6.0 in/hr. Field observation indicated a much lower value when compared to
a
the reported in the Union County Soil Survey. Due the shallow BC soil horizon and weak

structure the proposed maximum proposed loading rate for this soil should be 0.10 in/day or 0.70
in/wk with an instantaneous loading rate of 0.20 in/hr (Attachment B the Spray Irrigation Water
Balance Data Sheets).
Note: The 80`h percentile data for Indian Trail climate station was not readily available from the
State Climate Office of North Carolina, therefore the Union County Soil Survey Book 1989 data
from a period of 1951 through 1981 was used for the 80t` percentile data. A slight variation may
result since the data was not from the same source and location. However the variation should be
minimal due to the sites close proximity of each other.
Summary of Site Recommendations
In summary, it is recommended that the treatment areas for parcel be used for a Surface Drip Septic
System with a pretreatment that would accommodate a design waste flow of 360-gallons per day
(gpd) for a 3-bedroom residence. One important factors of concern within the surface drip
system are the shallow weathered bedrock. To minimize runoff, it is highly recommended that
the drip area be covered in lawn or pasture type grass at all times.
Until construction, the site should be maintained in mulch. All contractors should be provided
special installation instructions when working within the drainfeld area. There should be no
construction while the soil is in the wet state. Any field preparations should be stabilized as
quickly as possible with mulch to reduce erosion. This report is documentation for the engineer
design by Mr. B. K. Barringer, P. E with Piedmont Design Associates, P. A. Information in this
report may be incorporated in their report.
Closing
This opinion report may be relied upon by you only in connection with and for the purposes set
forth herein and may not be used or relied upon by any other person, firm, or entity for any purpose
whatsoever than in connection with regulatory requirements or in response to a court order without,
in each instance, the written consent of the undersigned. Independent conclusions, opinions and
recommendations made by others based on the field data are not the responsibility of the
undersigned. The parcel was covered in a diligent manner in order to assess its on -site septic

potential, and guarantee that the work was performed to professional standards. However, this
report represents a professional opinion, and does not guarantee government approval or denial.
As discussed in our recent telephone conversation, the Union County Health Department must
approve all proposed Wastewater Treatment and Dispersion (Septic) Systems and their locations. It
is highly recommend that you obtain a Licensed Soil Scientist or an Engineer to properly design the
proposed septic system including but not limited to this soils report. If you should have any
questions concerning this report, or need further assistance, please call [phone]

SECTION I - GENERAL
Steve and Jennifer Pressley are proposing to construct a new 4-bedroom house on a portion of a piece of property
currently owned by Steve's father, Mr. Ervin Pressley at 5019 Old Charlotte Highway in Indian Trail, Union
County, North Carolina. Due to limited available space, soil conditions and 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 74 East in Indian Trail, turn right on Wesley Chapel Road towards Sun
Valley High School. Turn left on Old Charlotte Highway and go past the front of Sun Valley High School. The
entrance to the property is about 300 yards past the school on the right hand side of the road. Follow the asphalt
drive to the rear of the property and head toward the gate at the rear. The subject property is on the other side of
the gate behind the existing barn. The residence is to be served by municipal water supply provided by the City
of Monroe. There are some existing structures overall property, however there are no houses on the subject
portion of the property and no wells drainage features or surface waters within 500 feet from the system or any of
its components.
Kenny Owens, LSS with Septic Environmental Solutions, has identified the area for the proposed disposal area.
An instantaneous application rate of 35.92 in/yr has been recommended for this treatment and disposal system.
The effluent will be pretreated using a septic tank, recirculation tank with an Orenco Advantex recirculating textile
media enclosed filter bed and UV disinfection to surface drip for disposal.
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 two 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.
Geoflow's Field Representative and designer shall provide written acceptance of the system installation prior to
issuance of operation permit.

Panel Operation:
❖ High Level Alarm Float: When lifted this float will activate the audible alarm and the illuminated
pushbutton. Note: This function can be combined with the Override Timer On & Off Function.
❖ Override Timer & Off Float: When lifted this float will activate the normal timer function. This timer is
capable of cycling at a faster rate to accommodate high flow conditions.
❖ Timer On & Off Float: When lifted this float will activate the normal timer function. This timer will begin
with its `off? cycle.
❖ Redundant Off & Low Level Alarm Float: When lowered this float will activate the audible alarm and
illuminated pushbutton. This float will also deactivate the pump in both auto and manual.
❖ Pump & Valve Operation: The pump dosing cycles will be controlled by the timer. During high flow
conditions, the pump dosing cycles will be controlled by the override timer. Zone valves will open as
programmed and the pump comes on. The spin filter valve will open for 1 minute (field adjustable) to
allow for drainage of the return line. After an operator defined number of cycles (field adjustable prime
numbers), the field flush valve and the zone valve will open for one cycle. At the end of the dose, the field
flush valve closes and normal operation resumes. Since the flush cycle is to be set at an odd interval (prime
number), the next flush cycle will fall on the opposite zone.

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 on]. 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.
I. 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.
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 unit. 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
approving the system and finally, all disturbed area should be planted with grass according to specifications.
Pressley Surface Drip Page 9 August 4, 2006
Union County, NC

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 of the 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 6.97 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.

For AdvanTex® Treatment Systems
Control
Applications
VeriComm' AXBI and AX132 remote telemetry control panels are
used with two -pump operations — recirculation and discharge
(on -demand or timed) — for AdvanTex°° Treatment Systems.
Coupled with the VeriComm web -based Monitoring System,
these affordable control panels give water/wastewater system
operators and maintenance organizations the ability to monitor
and control each individual system's operation remotely, with
real-time efficiency, while remaining invisible to the homeowner.
VeriComm AXB panels allow remote operators to change system
parameters, including timer settings, from the web interface.
Typical AXB VeriComm`Control Panel
Standard Model
VCOM AXBI, VCOM AXB2
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.
Additional Features
• Status light indicators on the board,
including...

Installation Guide: AdvanTex® AX Treatment Systems
The AdvanTex®-AX Series Textile Filter Treatment System has five main functional units:
1. Control Panel
2. Recirculating Splitter Valve
3. AdvanTex® 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 fmal 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: AdvanTW 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, timer 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 1A: 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
corners 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' long,
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 V
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 1B 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). -- o
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-adapterioint
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 4D), 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.

Information subject to change without notice Rev M,09M

Installation Guide: Ad vanTW 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 1" 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 backfill 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 20';
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 Hole 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.

Information subject to change without notice Rev L1,OWM

Installation Guide: AdvanTW-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 Riser
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.
Installing Filtrate Return Line and Discharge Line
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 6' 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 'TN" The discharge pipe connects to the end of the
Split -Flow Tee labeled "OUT."

Installation Guide: AdvanTW 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 and a 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.

Detail of transport fine
Installing Transport Line
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).
Installing Control Panel
Step 10A: Installing Control Panel
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
Backfilland 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-T. 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
Blinldng 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.
Step 1413: Setting Programmable Timer
NOTE: Refer to Design Criteria if additional information on
timer settings is required.
To set the MVP's programmable timer, refer to the documenta-
tion that goes with the panel.
VeriComm® (VCOM) telemetry -enabled panels are used for
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.

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 141): 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

• 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

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, verb that the `Low Water
AlarnnlRedundant Off 'float is positioned 10" below the top of
the RSV cage.

Mini-Clik Rain Sensors
Installation 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.
•
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 loclknut 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 dips 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. Conned the valve common
to the IRS 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).

Mini-Clik Rain Sensors
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 in this 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.
Where the timer is
controlling a pump, the
relay may be inside the

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 "click" 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.
Figure 7

1/2 3/4

+- Vent Ring~ Vent
The Mini-Clik can keep the irrigation system from
starting or continuing after rainfall quantities of /E",
t/a", 1/2", 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.
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-Cfik 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.
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.

How Does Ultraviolet Light Disinfect Water?
r
Before Exposure to Ultraviolet - All Bonds Intact
After Exposure to Ultraviolet - Bonds Broken
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-sec/cm2. Properly maintained IWG Wastewater Treatment Units produce a minimum of 26,000 µW-seC/cm2.

8OB66ER ON -SITE 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.

Netafim USA's Basic Valve can be operated manually
through the use of a 3-way selector. Selector options are:
Closed (C): Upstream pressure or pressure from an
external source is applied to the control chamber.
Initiated by the spring, the diaphragm is pressed down
to close the valve drip -tight.
Open (0): Relieving the water or air pressure to the
atmosphere from the control chamber causes the valve
to open.
Automatic (A): The automatic port of the 3-way
selector is connected to a solenoid, hydraulic relay or
pilot, which controls the valve. The common port of
the 3-way selector connects the control chamber to
either A, O or C, depending on the direction the
selector is pointed.

Valve Installation Tips
Threaded Valves
Use a few layers of Teflon tape or Teflon sealer compound on the adapter and tighten by
hand. Use a wrench to tighten the adapter another half revolution.
Socket or "Slip" Valve with PVC Pipe
Use the some procedure as when cementing PVC pipes. Mark the pipe first, then apply
glue to the socket of the valve and the PVC pipe. Insert the pipe until reaching the mark
and rotate a quarter turn. Hold the joint in place until the cement hardens.
Installation Above Ground
When installing a manifold above ground the length of the manifold should be kept as
short as possible, (this eliminates the need for additional support). For longer lengths a
firm support under the horizontal pipes is recommended. Always install the value with
the bonnet exposed to the sun.
Diaphragm Replacement
Loosen bolts, remove old diaphragm and install new diaphragm. Tighten the bolts,
applying even pressure in a diagonal pattern, until the diaphragm is firmly pressed
between the body and the bonnet. Do not over tighten. If leakage occurs between the
bonnet and valve, tighten until leakage stops.
Underground
For underground installations use thrust blocks where needed, allow sufficient space and
keep the area around the valve free from rough objects and stones. Cover the valve with
clean soil — up to 24" is recommended for 'protection against heavy equipment. The
controls for the valve, like the pilot, 3-way valve, should be positioned above ground. Be
sure to mark the control tubing by color or number and put a protective poly or PVC
tubing around the control tubing.

NOTES;
This manual is for secondary treated effluent. For septic tank effluent disposal please phone Geoflow Head-
quarters at 800-828-3388.
Each State and County has regulations concerning wastewater disposal, which must be followed. This
manual is intended to be a guide to users of Geoflow subsurface wastewater disposal equipment and should
be used only as a supplement and secondary to your State regulations.

INTRODUCTION
Geoflow's WASTEFLOW@drip system disposes of effluent below the ground surface through 1/2"
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 year. 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 Geoflow's 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 circumstanoes 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, worship 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.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS:
See Diagram 1 on page 4.
A typical drip system installation will consist of the elements listed below:
1. WASTEFLOW® DRWLUgE
(See Appendix 1 on page 21 for product specification)
WASTEFLOW lines corny thewater into the disposaVreuse 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 pipe has no joints 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 avail-
able. Rolls of alternative lengths may be special ordered
WASTEFLOW dripline features;
a) ROOTGUARD®
The risk of root intnision with an emitter slowly releasing nutrient rich effluent directly into
the soil is well known to anyone who has observed a leaking sewer pipe. Geoflow has an ex-
clusive license for ROOTGUARD, to protect emitters from root intrusion. ROOTGUARD ® is
warn ded for 10 years.
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) Bactericide
Geoflow's WASTEFLOW has an inner lining impregnated with a bactericide, Ultra Fresh DM
50, 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.
We recommend thatWASTEFLOW PC be used when the advantages are of substantial eco-
nomic value.
i) Wasteflow PC can be run longer distances than WASTEFLOW Classic.
ii) Steep slopes. Systems should be designed for the dripline lateral to follow the contour.
When this is practical, the extra cost of installing pressure regulators required for
WASTEFLOW Classic would likely be less than the incremental Cost of WASTEFLOW
PC.
iii) Rolling terrain. 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.

2. CoNTRouzRs
(See Appendix 3 on page 27 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. Pubs
WASTEFLOW dripfields mid on pumps to supply effluent and pressure to the field These must
be sized according to flow and pressure requirements. Look 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 clean -out port is at the base and can be opened or closed 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 MANwom
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
chart in the appendix to determine the best diameter for your application.
f. R.muRN MANIFOLD
In 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 pressures in the system.
Flushing should be done frequently 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 R.EGUTATOR
(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 nomial 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. SELEcr AREA,
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 APPLICATION DESIGN
Note: This paragraph is extracted from Subsurface Trickle Irrigation System for On -Site Wastewater
Disposal And Reuse by B. L. Carlile and A. Sanjines.
The basis of the infomiation 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 deterniiriation 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 dzYi#gfbra sagyfmibr of 10 or 12, h2saicn
tF� sahazz�l hl ccrz� r ; the s)6t wa 1�e zmb- n2 st of t e titm he dx uld, aztaavi u4tb-
autfailia�gextyerrt'zcetr. --
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. Sou. LAYERS AND TYPES
The shallow depth of installation is an advantage of the subsurface dripfield sine the topsoil or
surface soil is generally the most biologically active and permeable 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 THE DISPOSAL FMM
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 minimized 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.
AThe fill material should be applied in shallow layers with the first 4 to 6 inches incorporated
into 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 diversion 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 POIN15, SIPHONING AND SLOPES
AA potential problem with buried drip lines is siphoning curt 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. ExcEssrvE LEVEL DIFFERENCES
WASTEFLOW Classic. If the level variation within a WASTEFLOW Classic zone exceeds
Asix feet, individual pressure regulators should be placed for each six-foot interval.
WASTEFLOW PC. WASTEFLOW PC can tolerate very large height variations provided
the pressure remains within the 7 to 60 psi range, and preferably within 10 to 45 psi.
Updated
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 "towhead 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. KiLLY SITE
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 -growing seasor-L This calculates to be about 0.16 to 0.22 gal/ft2/
day, a significant part of the daily effluent loading. By overseeding 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. INsTAUAMN GUEDEL vES
All drip systems require:
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
should 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 Lockslip adapters should be glued to PVC tees, riser units should be pre -
assembled, the submain 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 comers 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 pipe is installed Geoflow dripline must be spaced 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 field, 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.
cp 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 back 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 return
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.
Turn 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 rapacity.
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 because, 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 frostline. 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 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 insu-
lation.
g) Mark the valve bo with a metal pin so you can find it in the 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 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/1 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.
11) Check for effluent surfacing in the field

DESCRIPTION
The flexible 1/2" polyethylene dripline has large
emitters regularly spaced in the line. With the drip -
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
ROOTGUARD® protection, and the dripline wall
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, dnpline 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 dog-
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 root 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.
WASTEFLOW DRIPLINE
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 cost of pressure regulators required
for WASTEFLOW Classic would likely be less
than the incremental cost of WASTEFLOW PC.
c) Rolling terrain. 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.

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, throwing organic
and inorganic particles outward against the screen.
Gravity, moves the debris down the screen wall to
the 3/ ° flush outlet at the base of the Vortex Filter.
24
VORTEX FILTERS
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.

Float functions:
• Ra&d2tt Offs-1 Lcw krdA1mm Fkrrt. This float
turns off the pump when lowered_ It is a secon-
dary off float that will prevent the operation of the
pump if the timer on and off float fails. Pumping
will be disabled in both the automatic and manual
modes. This float also activates the audible and
visual alarm. Pressing the illuminated PUSH TO
S I L E NC button will silence the audible alarm.
The alarm light will remain on until the float is
raised. When raised, this float will enable opera-
tion of the pump.
• 7"mia- On & Q jb5it. Activates timer. Timer will
control pump cycles, beginning with the off mode.
• Olzr-rkb tvmr On & Offjb5W. Activates the over-
ride timer. Over -ride timer will control pump cy-
cles. The over -ride timer will finish at least one
complete cycle even if the over -ride float drops.
• Nigh &UYakvM fbZ Activates the audible and vis-
ual 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 louvered.
NOTE: We reconunend the use of normally open
mercury control floats.
Pump and Valve Operation:
• P #?pdxvgc}d6s are controlled by the timers when
the H-O-A switch is in the auto position. Under
normal conditions the "primary" tuner 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 tinier "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.)
• Tim Vorloc Fd1erf 4,h mkvwiil 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 sec-
onds (field adjustable) to accommodate the opening of
the field flush valve.
The, fxYdj1ish uAe win open during the 15 seconds the
pump is still activated after filter flush cycle. After the
pump is deactivated the flush valve will re n-riin 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-
cles (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.
Panel Components:
Programmable logic module for timing and controls.
• Contactor and circuit breaker for pump (see panel de-
scription for max hp ratings and other specifications).
• Hand -Off -Auto (H-O-A) switches for pump and
valve operation.

Description
The 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.
Features
Unique Dual Ported Diaphragm greatly minimizes
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
O-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/
inch cover bolts and mating brass body inserts
make re -assembly easy.
Shock cone on diaphragm seat eliminates water ham-
mer in all except extreme cases.
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 downstream; has stops for
open and dosed 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-
tions.
Installation
Teflon tape is recommended. 1 inch FIP can be
bushed to 3/ inch. 1-1/2 inch FIP can be bushed to
1-1/4 inch. International threads. (Specify ISO)

standards of an innovative system when the following conditions for use, monitoring and operation are met:
1. 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 thanorequal 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 -

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 dose 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 1.2 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:

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.
R

VI. Operation, Maintenance and Monitoring Requirements:
a. 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).
b. 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.

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.
The effluent from the facility shall be monitored at a point prior to irrigation
every March, July and November for the following parameters:'- 11<i ; °' , W _ li - _ ,, OR.
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.
0&M Manual Page 1 August 4, 2006

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.
Pump: 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
fnllnws.
(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.
0&M Manual Page 2 August 4, 2006

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 ...
• The AdvanTexm System's configuration and
treatment process
• Performance expectations (norms) at each stage
in the treatment process
• System components
• Routine cleaning and maintenance procedures
and frequencies
• Routine cleaning and maintenance checklist
• Testing procedures
• 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

Treatment Process and Performance
Expectations: Processincg. 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 AdvanTex•' Textile
Filter.
Because the AdvanTex® 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 tanks
dear 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 wastewater 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. BOD5 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 recirc/blend
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:

MANUAL
Routine Cleaning & Maintenance Procedures
Orenco Systems® requires regular inspection and
maintenance of AdvanTexll 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 Timer
Setting Instructions and Record of System Facts,
at the back of this Manual. Place the date and
your initials by the recorded change.
t

ADVANTEX® O&MMANUAL
C
4 Read and record the elapsed time meter
(ETM) and cycle counter (CI) 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 MOA 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.

ADVANTEX® O&M
MANUAL
If the Biotube® 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
• If necessary, the RSV valve may be removed to
allow room in the riser for cleaning the
Biotube®
— 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
• 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.

ADVANTEX® O&M MANUAL
If faulty plumbing isn't the problem, the sound
of trickling water could indicate I 8c I (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 1 " of scum
and 2" of sludge per year for 3-4 occupants)
11
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.
I
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 a ponding in the textile 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
characto-istic. For the AX 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 clean as
often as necessary.) The textile media hangs in individual
sheets, and these sheets can be pulled out for cleaning (if
necessary). First, remove the Recirculating Splitter Valve.
Use a hose or pressure washer, connected to the nearest
spigot. Wash the biomat into the underdrain and it :will
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 occur

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.
Biomars 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 frequency 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 I S% 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, biosohds 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 (cfin) per pod is typical. Record inlet flow
and outlet flow, where applicable, to ensure there
isn't 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
AdvanTex°) Treatment System Dealer who sold
the system. If no Dealer was involved in the sale,
then documentation must be forwarded to
Orenco Systems, Inc., 814 Airway Avenue,
Sutherlin, OR 97479, ATTN: Systems

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. (Don't 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.

performance is affected. • Check Dissolved Oxygen levels
Troubleshooting Effluent Quality
If your effluent samples are cloudy and color/
turbidity is > 15 units, do the following:
• Perform BOD5 and TSS tests
• Check to ensure the recirc ratio isn't too high
or the pump dose time isn't too long
• Check the effluent filter for clogging
• Interview user re: System abuse
If performance continues to be poor, explore the
following design remedies, in this order:
1 Expanded tankage (e.g., additional grease/
oil tank)
2 Pretreatment (e.g., additional aeration)
3 Larger filter area (e.g., additional module)
• Use a DO meter or Colorimetric Kit
• Note filtrate DO levels that are
<2.5 or >6 mg/L
Filtrate DO that's <2.5 mg/L indicates insuffi-
cient oxygen. If the filtrate DO is <2.5 mg/L:
• Check filter surface for evidence of clogging
• Check to ensure the pump is working
• Check to ensure the ventilation fan assembly
is working (RX only)
• Check to ensure the recirc ratio isn't too low;
increase if too low
• Check to ensure influent strength isn't too high
(see AdvanTexo Design Criteria)
• Check to ensure hydraulic retention time isn't
too high
Filtrate DO that's >6 mg/L indicates excessive

• Check to ensure recirc ratio isn'r too high
• Check to see if influent flows are below normal
• If influent flows are below normal or recirc
ratio is too high, reduce recirc ratio

Troubleshooting Biotube® Filter
Clogging
If a visual inspection of the Biorube® 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?
Uacuzzi' tub?)
• Excessive use of detergents?
If the system user can't identify the probable
source, try the following:
• Sample/test effluent for BOD, 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
• Note if biomat is yellowish and wax -like or
lard -like
• If so, scrape biomat sample for analysis
• Photograph/document 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:
• Verify the pump isn't running too long
• Ensure the recirc ratio isn'r too high
• Ask residents about detergent use

ADVANTEX® O&M MANUAL
O&M For Nitrogen Reduction
AdvanTex® 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 AdvanTex® 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 250t
mg/L or higher (lab rest shows levels)
• pH of 6-8
• Filtrate DO level of 2.5-8 mg/1-; Process tank
DO level o'f <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 frequently 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 BOD5 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 alkalinity to
nitrify 1 part ammonia.
Total Nitrogen is the sum of organic and ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, and nitrite nitrogen.
(TN=ON + NH3-n + NO3-n + NO2-n ... or ... TN=TKN-n + NO3-n + NO2-n)

ADVANTEX® O&M
MANUAL

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 air flow in the ventilation fan assembly
(RX only)
• Check the recirc ratio; if it's too low (<3:1 t)
increase as necessary*
If your filtrate DO is tom (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/derutrification 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 ratio that's too high can generate a highly aerobic biomatgrowth on thepump filter and
a recirc patio thats too low can tend to liberate periodic odors during dosing events. So search for the optimum ratio
(typically between 3 and 5:1)

Appendix: The Nitrogen Reduction Process
and Key Indicators
The Process
Nitrogen removal (or "nirrification/denitrifica-
tion") is a biochemical process in which ammo=
nia is converted to nitrate (nitrification) (2NH3
converts to 2NO3 + 3H20) 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-
tive 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 isn't 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 medias 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
520 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 G mg/L. If the
11

ADVANTEX® O&M MANUAL
0
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 250t
mg/L for recirculating processes and double that
for single pass processes. Many wastewater streams
do not have sufficient 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 (<6t). 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 full 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.

I Preinstallation Information I
1. Inspect your unit. Occasionally, products are damaged
during shipment. If the unit is damaged, contact your dealer before
using.
2. Carefully read the literature provided to familiarize yourself
with specific details regarding installation and use. These
materials should be retained for future reference.
3, A WARNING "Risk of electrical shock" Do not remove
EVpower supply cord and strain relief or connect conduit directly
to the pump. Installation and checking of electrical circuits
and hardware should be performed by a qualified and licensed
electrician.
4. ®A WARNING Donotlift, carry, orhang pump by the electrical
cables. Damage to the electrical cables can cause shock,
bums or death.
5. A WARNING For your protection, make certain the
pump ground wire is properly connected to the ground
wire with the incoming power line. Test for ground at the
junction box using an Underwriters Laboratory listed circuit analyzer
which will indicate if the power, neutral and ground wires are correctly
connected. If in doubt, call a qualified licensed electrician.
6. M
A WARNIN Make certain that the receptacle is within
the reach of the pump's power supply cord. DO NOT USE
AN EXTENSION CORD. Extension cords that are too long
or too light do not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor. But,
more important, they could present a safety hazard if the insulation
were to become damaged or the connection end were to get wet.
7. ®A WARNING Make sure the pump electrical supply
circuit is equipped with fuses or circuit breakers of proper
capacity. A separate branch circuit is recommended, and
sized according to the "National Electrical Code" for the current
shown on the pump nameplate.
8. A WARNING DO NOT run the pump dry. DO NOT run the pump
with a completely closed discharge. DO NOT pump chemical or
corrosive liquids. Failure to follow above warnings could result in
damage to the pump, voiding the warranty and causing personal
injury.
9. A CAUTION I Check to be sure your power source is
capable of handling the voltage requirements of the motor, as
indicated on the pump nameplate.
10. The installation of pumps using au�xiliaryvariable level float switches
is the responsibility of the installing party. Care should be taken
such that the tethered float switch will not hang up and are secured
so that the pump will turn on and off properly.
11. A c-AuTio-W-1 Water hammer creates momentary high pressure
surges. These surges can cause severe damage to check valves
and the piping system. Consideration for water hammer must be
included in the piping system design. Reference ASPE Data Book,
Chapter 2.33. Some systems may require external spring or lever
weighted check valves or other engineered solutions.
12. A CAUTION In cold climates the discharge pipe may be subject
to freezing. If the riser on the septic tank is above the frost line, it will
be necessary to protect the system from freeze up. The discharge
pipe can be insulated or the check valve can be removed. If the
check valve is removed, the "on -off" cycle must be adjusted for
any back -flow from the discharge line.
13. A WARNING According to the state of California (Prop 65), this
product contains chemicals known to the state of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Major Components
1. Submersible Effluent Turbine Pump - A submersible effluent
turbine pump is a multistage centrifugal design pump. Each stage
consists of an impeller and diffuser. Water pressure increases in
equal amounts as it passes from stage to stage_ The more stages,
the higher the pressure the pump will develop.
To correctly select a pump for a specific application, the following
information must be known:
• The amount of discharge required in GPM or LPM
• The total dynamic head required in feet or meters
Use this information along with the performance data found on the
previous page to make your selection.
2. Control Panel - Submersible effluent turbine pumps require the
use of an above ground control panel orjunction box with a pump
control switch for proper operation. Operation of these pumps
without a control panel or junction box with a pump control switch
can result in failure of the pump and void the warranty.
3. Float Switches -All submersible effluent turbine pumps are non-
automatic. The use of float switches are required for the proper
operation of the pump. Operation of these pumps without float
10-27 GPM MODELS
switches can result in failure of the pump and void the warranty.
A minimum of two float switches should be used in each appli-
cation:
• A pump control float switch
• A high water alarm float switch
4. Piping - The submersible effluent turbine pump can be installed
with schedule 40 PVC pipe. The pipe size should be 1 %" diameter
for the 10 GPM to 27 GPM pump series and 2" diameter for the 35
GPM pump series.
General piping from the pump to a splitter, distribution box, drain
field etc., should be the same diameter as stated above. For long
pipe runs consult friction loss tables for correct pipe sizing.
5. Check Valve -A check valve is required in all duplex systems. It is
also required when a large amount of effluent can backflush into the
system causing rapid cycling of the pump.
A 1/8" weep hole must be drilled in the side of the discharge
head when using a check valve (see drawing below for drill
location).

Pump Installation and Wiring Diagram I
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 infor-
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.

?. Controllers
-ontrollers are used for time dosing and auto -flushing of the filter and dripfields. GEO controllers include a programmable logic control interface for field modifications.
hey 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
_ontroller Description
he following have been used in the standard GEO controller. Refer to paperwork supplied with controller for more detailed operating instructions.
'anel Components:
Programmable logic module for timing and controls.
-ontactor and circuit breaker for pump (see panel description for max hp ratings and other specifications).
land -Off -Auto (H-O-A) switches for pump and valve operation.
-onnections/contacts for normally closed 24 VAC valves. (Contacts for normally open valves special order)
lapsed time meter and cycle counter for pump monitoring built in to PLC.
-ircuit breaker for control power.
;urge arrestor for lightening protection.
12" x 10' NEMA 4 X fiberglass enclosure.
=1oat 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 off float fails. This float turns off
he 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
lluminated 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
Othe pump. Timer On & Off float. Activates timer. Timer will control pump cycles, beginning with the off mode.
aver -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
wen if the over -ride float drops.High4evel alarm float Activates the audible and visual alarm when raised. Audible alarm may be silenced by pressing the illuminated
'USH TO SILENCE button. The alarm light will remain on until the float is lowered.
40TE: We recommend the use of normally open mercury control floats.
lump and Valve Operation:
lump 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
lose 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,
f 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
ninutes 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,
:he pump will remain activated for 15 seconds (field adjustable) to accommodate the opening of the field flush valve.
fhe 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
)ne minute (field adjustable) to allow for drainage of the return line.
:or severe freezing conditions allow adequate time for the mani fold to drain completely.
fo 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
:he field flush valve will stay open until all zones have been f lushed. This operation will also occur after a power outage.
Niring 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
Dumps 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 1 SO 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 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 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
diameter for your application.
6. Return Manifold
In 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
pressures in the system. Flushing should be done frequently during the installation period. Periodic flushing under full system pressure will guarantee along system life.
The return manifold should be installed to drain the line back to the pretreatment tank in freezing climates.
7. Pressure Regulator
Pressure regulators fix the inlet pressure at a given rate and a re recommended 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
8. 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 or b 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
end of the supply manifold and one on the high point of the ret urn manifold. Additional air vents may be required depending on terrain. Maximum flow per vacuum
breaker is 50 gpm. Freezing conditions require the air vacuum breaker be protected with insulation.

internal seat shall be constructed of vinyl. The air vacuum relief valve shall seal at 5 psi. Inlet size shall be a 1-inch male pipe thread. The air vent shall be
Geoflow item number APVBK-1
9. Filter Flush Valves
Used 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,
it 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
increase 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.
Flush valve specification and description
The 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.
Unique Dual Ported Diaphragm greatly minimizes clogging. In operation, the diaphragm ports constantly 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. 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. The solenoid is constructed of molded epoxy resin having no carbon steel components exposed thereby
eliminating possible external corrosion and deterioration. Solenoid is completely waterproof, with an O-ring seal, and complies with NEC Class 11 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.
Stainless steel 1/4 inch cover bolts and mating brass body inner is make re -assembly easy. Shock cone on diaphragm seat eliminates water hammer in all except
extreme cases.
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 downstream; has stops for open and closed positions.
Cold water working pressure: 150 psi
10. Field Flush valves.
Used 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
manual 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
of 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 efficientflow rate of the
filter and/or pump if necessary. Certain States do require automated
electronic flushing. Please refer to your State codes.
Flush valve specification and description
See specifications and description for filterflush valves above.

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 regulatorand 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/I 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.

Subject: Non -Discharge Permit Inspection
Wastewater Surface Irrigation System
Permit #WQ0030716
Union County
Staff of the Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) conducted a compliance inspection on Aril 61h, 2017. The
MRO would like to thank Mrs. Ashley Hilliard and your AQWA technicians (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 with the
increased development in your area; otherwise, a renewal application is due by, October 31S1
2018, 6 months prior to the expiration date of April 301h, 2019.
For future reference a renewal form may be located at the NCDEQ website below.
http://deg. nc. gov/about/d ivisions/water-resources/water-resources-permits/wastewater-
branch/non-discharge-permitting-unit/application. Scroll down the page to the "Single -
Family Residence Wastewater Irrigation Systems" section.
• The application field is very well maintained, but the driplines are difficult to assess, since over-
time they have become hidden below the grass root mass. Should you notice any run-off or
unseasonably wet areas, during extended dry periods, inform your contractor for required repairs.
• Per conversation with Mrs. Hilliard you are maintaining the required owner inspection log.
Please email a copy of your most recent page of entries to my address below.
The inspection report should be self-explanatory; however, I may be reached by phone [phone]) or
email (maria.schutteCcDncdenr.gov) with questions.

Comments: Contractor replaces UV bulbs annuallv. A new bulb was installed during this inspection. The UV
system is NOT connected by telemetry. The owners will need to contact AQWA for repair should they find the
UV inoperable during their weekly inspection. Do not view the UV bulb for inspection. It is unsafe for your

unit is functional. Call your contractor for further assistance.

N Are there any limiting slopes in the disposal fields?
N Are restrictions for use of these areas specified? This is a residential property, so signage is not required
but the standard two wire fence is in place.
Y Is the permit being followed? It appears to be, but the permittee logs were not viewed and are requested
to be emailed.
Y Is site access restricted in accordance with the permit? If so, how? With fencing.
Y Is the permit available upon request?
NE Are operational logs present? The permittee logs were not viewed and are requested to be emailed.
NE Are operation and maintenance records present? The contractor had their records, but owner records
were not examined.
N Has the permittee received any public complaints in the last 12 months?
Comments: The application field was maintained in veg good condition. Typical dripline breaks are not easy to
assess as they are covered by the grass root mass. This minor concern is noted in the cover letter for owner
assistance. The MRO is reluctant to request the owner raise driplines for ease of viewing because that creates
the potential for damage from mowing this grass application area.
Additional Comments Semi-annual system maintenance is conducted by AOWA.

satisfactorily.
Please note that recently passed legislation (SL 2009-406 & SL 2010-177) has extended the expiration date of
