This meeting is an opportunity for the owner, builder, engineer/designer, local regulatory agencies, service provider and installer to clarify property lines, building location, system location, power sources, drainage areas, final site grading and answer general questions. Off Loading Treatment System: The E-Z Treat re -circulation filter Pod/Unit is injection molded polyethylene weighing about 300 lb. Because of the relative light weight and toughness of the material special handling is not necessary, two men can easily unload the Pod/Unit. If machinery is use to off load the Pod or transport to the excavated hole nylon straps, chains or cables used to lift the Pod should be in good condition and rated for at least 1000 lb. The re -circulation pump and control will be shipped in factory sealed cardboard box, these items are not fragile but should be handled with reasonable care not dropped or thrown.

Excavate a hole approximately 6' x 9' x 4'. Place 4" of #57 stone or equal in the bottom of the excavation forming a level base for the Pod to set, this will prevent settling of the Pod and allow for leveling of the Pod. Backfill the Pod with clean fill dirt, free of rocks and foreign material. Do not compact the fill, allow the soil to settle naturally. Once the Pod is placed in the excavation adjust the Pod to slope 1 inch toward the 4" PVC outlet this assure proper drainage. E-Z Treat # 600 Pod W -------------------------- 4" Outlet Piping the E-Z Treat Pod/Unit Supply and Return: Once the Pod is placed and Leveled connect 4" PVC pipe between the outlet of the Pod and the By -Pass valve located in the recirculation tank. Attach F PVC supply line between the F inlet on the Pod and the recirculation pump. Installing the By -Pass Valve: The By -Pass Valve is located in the recirculation tank and one side is connected to the 4" PVC drain line coming from the Pod and the other side is connected to the 4" PVC effluent discharge line or into the effluent pump tank. Float Ball 12 Weir 18 Installing the Re -Circulation Pump: Connect the 1" PVC pipe between the Inlet of the Pod and the Re -Circulation pump. Always provide a quick disconnect device for removing the pump, this can be accomplished with a Union, Can -Lock or Pittless adapter. DO NOT install a Check Valve in the pump supply line this will prevent the supply line to the Pod spray manifold from draining and may cause freezing. To insure complete drainage of the spray manifold drill an 1/8 inch hole in the PVC pump supply pipe just above the discharge end of the pump. 1/8" Hole Setting Pump Control Floats: (SEE Page 4) The control panel will come with 3 liquid level floats. 1.Low Level Alarm Float protects the pump from Run Dry damage by turning off the pump and sound an Audio Visual Alarm. Set float to activate if the effluent level drops to 4" above the pump intake. 2. Timer Enable Float activates the pump run time and assures the pump only runs when there is sufficient effluent in the re -circulation tank. Set float to activate when effluent level in the recirculation tank is filled to 50%. 3.High Water Alarm Float will sound an Audio Visual Alarm when the effluent in the re- circulation tank is too high. Set float to activate when the effluent level in the in the recirculation tank is level with the top of the By -Pass Valve. 13 19 Float SettinLs: Re -Circulation Tank High Level Float 60% Liquid Level Wide Angle Float LJI Low Level Alarm Float 4" Above Pump Inlet 14 20 E-Z TREAT Synthetic Media Filter Installation Manual E-Z Treat Company or its representative will conduct on -site training with each installer before they are certified to install E-Z Treat systems. The training will include instruction on proper site prep, locating Pod/Unit, equipment handling, excavation, pod placement, piping, wiring and startup of the E-Z Treat system. Annual classroom training will be a requirement for contractors to maintain their certification. As a condition of E-Z Treat certification, contractors must have proper state and local licenses and insurances. E-Z Treat distributors will only sell or authorize installations by E-Z Treat certified contractors. The E-Z Treatment pod will ship pre -assembled, requiring only field piping of the Pod/Unit supply line and discharge line, installing the recirculation pump, four inch float by-pass valve and the recirculation control. When installing the E-Z Treat system the order of components installation is not critical and each segment can be installed independently. Pre -Construction Meeting: A pre -construction meeting is recommended before any construction commences. This meeting is an opportunity for the owner, builder, engineer/designer, local regulatory agencies, service provider and installer to clarify property lines, building location, system location, power sources, drainage areas, final site grading and answer general questions. Off Loading Treatment System: Because of the relative light weight and toughness of the pod/unit material, special handling is not necessary and could be offloaded without machinery with proper lifting techniques and adequate personnel. If machinery is used to offload the Pod and/or transport it to the excavated hole then nylon straps, chains or cables used to lift the Pod should be in good condition and rated for at least 1000 lb. The recirculation pump and controls will be shipped in a factory sealed cardboard box, these items are not fragile but should be handled with reasonable care not dropped or thrown. NOTE: Due to transportation company's packaging requirements the units could weigh up to 50 lbs. more than just the weight of the unit. The standard E-Z Treat Model #600 Package Includes: 1.

It is always preferred to be above the seasonal high water table and burying the unit by bringing soil in to mound around the unit. If an installation would require setting the unit in a seasonal water table, stabilization must be provided — consult the Manufacturer for guidance. Excavate a hole approximately 6' x 9' x 4'. Place 4" of #57 stone or equal in the bottom of the excavation forming a firm base for the Pod to set, this will prevent settling of the Pod and allow for leveling of the Pod. Backfill the Pod with clean fill dirt, free of rocks and foreign material. Do not compact the fill, allow the soil to settle naturally. Once the Pod is placed in the excavation adjust the Pod to slope 1 inch toward the 4" PVC outlet this assure proper drainage.

UV-C light is germicidal - i.e., it deactivates the DNA of bacteria, viruses and other pathogens and thus destroys their ability to multiply and cause disease. Specifically, UV-C light causes damage to the nucleic acid of microorganisms by forming covalent bonds between certain adjacent bases in the DNA. The formation of such bonds prevent the DNA from being unzipped for replication, and the organism is unable to reproduce. In fact, when the organism tries to replicate, it dies.

Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation's purifier units contain one or more germicidal ultraviolet lamps. The Ster-L-Ray— germicidal lamp produced by Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation is a short wave low pressure mercury vapor tubes that produces ultraviolet wavelengths that are lethal to micro-organisms. Approximately 95% of the ultraviolet energy emitted is at the mercury resonance line of 254 nanometers. This wavelength is in the region of maximum germicidal effectiveness and is highly lethal to virus, bacteria and mold spores. Therefore, the water or air that passes through the chamber is exposed to the germicidal uv light and the genetic material of the micro-organism is deactivated, which prevents them from reproducing and renders them harmless.

The inlet and outlet on the Dual Bulb UV housing are reversible, allowing flow in either direction. The inlet on the single Bulb UV is the 4" hub and the outlet is the 2" hub. The inlet/outlet of the housing will accept any Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 PVC pipe or locally approved water tight pipe connection. The housing must be installed so the UV Lamps are in the vertical position. 2. UV Lamp control panel can be installed indoors or outdoors, the panel should be secured in a manner that is consistent with local regulations. The UV Lamp control requires a dictated 120 Volt power source that complies with local codes. 3. The UV Lamps should be wiped clean in accordance with the cleaning instructions and inspected for cracks or chips prior to installing the Lamps into the UV housing. 4. Once the inlet and outlet connections to the UV housing are complete, insert the UV Lamp assemblies into the UV housing. Take Caution UV Lamp housing connections should be tightened hand tight, Do Not use wrenches, pliers or other tools to tighten. 6. Fill UV housing with water/effluent before applying power to the UV Lamps. 7. Turn On Power to the UV System. 01 29 E-Z Treat UV Cleaning Your UV Light System Caution: Do Not Run UV Lamps Dry, Fill UV Housing With Water/Effluent Before Turning On Power. It is recommended the quartz tubes, housing the UV Lamps, be cleaned at least every 12 months. Caution: Always turn off the power to the UV system before any maintenance is performed. Use extreme care when handling the fragile UV lamp assembly. Step One: Turn Off power to the UV System! Step Two: Unscrew the fitting holding the UV Lamp and Quartz Sleeve. Step Three: Lift the UV Lamp assembly upward until it is clear of the UV System housing. Step Four: Using a clean, damp sponge or clean soft cloth, wipe all residue from the quartz tube. Clean stubborn dirty areas with a liquid glass cleaning product. Caution: Do Not Scrape or Use Scouring Pads, this may scratch the quartz tube and alter the performance of the UV system. Step Five: Visually inspect each quartz tube for cracks or breaks; replace the UV Lamp assemblies if they are cracked, scratched or broken. Step Six: Re -Insert the UV Lamp assembly into the UV housing and tighten the fitting that holds the UV Lamp and Quartz Sleeve. Use Caution (Finger Tight Only) Do Not use pliers, wrenches, etc. to perform this maintenance.

Box 97 • Elkwood, Virginia 22718-0097 www.americanonsite.com The system control panel is equipped with four float switches and controls the timed doses to bE discharged. The water level must be high enough to overcome the "Redundant Off" (Bottom) float in order for the pump to run. When the water level rises enough to overcome the "Dose Enable" (sec- ond) float and the timer is in a dose enable mode the cycle will initiate. The pump will activate and automatically backflush the disc filters then dose the lead zone. The pump will continue to run for the length of time as set on the pump run timer to provide a complete dose. The system will remain off until the preprogrammed time enters a new cycle enable mode, at which time the control will activate another cycle and dose the new lead zone (as long as the "Dose Enable" float is still up). This process will continue until the water level drops below the "Dose Enable" float and the pump run timer has timed out. Each zone will automatically receive a field flush each 25 cycles to clean the drip tubing. The control system is equipped with a peak enable circuit to manage peak flows and excess water use event. If the water level rises enough to overcome the "peak enable" (third) float and the peak enable selector switch is on, the system will be cycled at the peak (design) rate. The system will continue to cycle at an increased rate until the peak enable float is deactivated at which time the system will resume the normal dosing cycle. In the event the water level continues to rise enough to overcome the "High Level' (fourth) float, the audio/visual alarm will be activated. This condition alerts excess water use in addition to possible mechanical failures. For slopes over 10%, systems must be de- signed with top feed manifolds to control draindown after the pump shuts off. The construction of the "bioline" drip tubing is unique in that the inter- nal diaphragm and labyrinth provided for an exact amount of effluent to be discharged from each of its emitters which are normally spaced at two foot intervals along the entire length. Each emitter maintains a constant flow over pressure ranges of 7 to 70 psi. Because the effluent is distributed at an ultra low rate, large quantities of effluent may be economically distributed over large areas during controlled periods of time without saturating the surrounding soil.

Air release valves are provided with the zone return kit for each zone. 0 0 HYDRAULIC UNIT Disc Filtration - The submersible pump delivers unfil- tered effluent to the unit. The filter backflushing sched- ule is triggered at the beginning of each dose cycle. One filter valve closes, thus blocking the flow of unfiltered effluent to that filter thereby backflushing the unused filter. The accumulated impurities discharge back into the pretreatment unit. The closing and opening proce- dure of the filter and back flush valves causes a change of flow within the unit to provide filtered water from one filter to backflush the other. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE The Perc - RiteO drip dispersal system provides a user friendly operator interface with no programming skill nec- essary to operate system. The only thing that varies is the run time. Each mechanical component has a H-O-A switch (Hand -Off -Auto) which can be used to check component operation. Dialers and remote monitoring are available at additional cost. Data acquisition though a hand held computer device can collect substantial operational data.

TOP FEED MANIFOLD SYSTEM OPERATION Patent No. 5,984,574 The Top Feed Manifold (TFM) system is comprised of a set of manifolds located at the highest point in the drip zone and provided with air release valves to prevent drain down of upper laterals in the zone to lower laterals in the zone, thus preventing saturation of the lower laterals after the pump shuts off. The system provides for the fastest possible pressurization of the zone and the most efficient method of Drovidina drain down control. Top feed supply manifolds can be used with supply lines fed by zone valves located with the filtration equipment or zone valves located at the same location as the (TFM). The emitters are normally open and when at low pressure they will drain effluent out of the pipe. The effluent will also flow downhill within a lateral when the lateral is made up of several runs located on contour but each being down slope from the previous run. The (TFM) system is designed to make effluent go. Instal Inwlation for .all— systems In freezing cllmata See diagram above.

The "PERC-RITE®" Drip System is a complete wastewater dispersal system utilizing pressure compensating drip tubing, automatic disc filtration, automatic forward field flushing and efficient effluent pumps with state-of- the-art controls for long term sustainable onsite wastewater installations. Use Filters! A Filter that has both surface area and depth can be cleaned through automatic backwashing. Particle separator Filters of this design can last for Years before maintenance. Even neglected filters will continue to protect the f- field. Not Screens! A Screen particle separator only has surface area and cannot be cleaned through backwash and are susceptible to biological re- growth. Screens cannot be cleaned in placed but must be removed and cleaned or replaced. Dirty Screens may collapse and can extrude material which may damage tubing and cause field failure of tubing and field. COMPETITIVE CONTROL! These open face control panels provide complete management of the integrated "Perc-Rite@ Drip Dispersal System". The control includes manual override ca- pability bypassing the PLC, automatic field flushing, and multi -zone Control. The build in sceen has many built in op- tions best operator control. 41 American Manufacturing Company, Inc.'s PERC-RITE® Filtration system offers several choices of filtration based on your budget and the desired intervals between Service Events. In secondary treated effluent ap- plications, filter backwash water is performed automatically through a large washdown filter. This configuration creates a very economical controller to manage I multi -zone systems with mainte- nance frequencies being extended for up to a year. Reduced pre- treatment water quality will in- crease the maintenance fre- quency requirements. Any po- tential filter buildup will result a high water alarm protecting the tubing from catastrophic failure and announcing to the owner the need for maintenance.
