V. EVALUATIONAND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Provide any additional narrative regarding your review of the application.: Performed the site visit
accompanied by Perry Wyatt, soil scientist with the Winston Salem Regional Office. He confirmed that the
suggested loading rates are within the acceptable range for the types of soils present. He suggested that the
trees not be cut, and just a minimal amount of undergrowth be removed for line installation.
Page 3, section (n) of the SITE PREPARATION REQUIREMENTS states that: "the surface of the ground in
the area of the dripper lines, to a minimum distance of 5 feet from the dripper line locations, shall be raked to
remove leaves and debris from the soil surface. This disturbed area shall be covered with 4 to 6 inches of
mulch." Due to the very steep nature of the site, we recommend that the surface of the ground not be disturbed
and no mulch be placed in the dripper line area. Disturbing the soil would likely promote erosion and any
mulch placed on such a steep slope would soon be washed away.
2. Attach Well Construction Data Sheet - if needed information is available
3. Do you foresee any problems with issuance/renewal of this permit? ❑ Yes ® No. If yes, please explain
briefly.
4. List any items that you would like APS Central Office to obtain through an additional information request.
Make sure that you provide a reason for each item:

DESCRIPTION OF MAINTENANCE ITEMS
ITEM DESCRIPTION
Septic Tank When solids become concentrated in the septic tank, they
will also settle in the second chamber. When solids reach
1/3 of the liquid level in the first compartment of the tank,
they should be pumped out immediately. When re-
attaching the access lids, inspect their seals, and replace, if
damaged.
High Water Alarm Follow all manufacturers' requirements relative to operation
and servicing of the alarm. Malfunction of any electronic
control equipment will probably require outside service for
repair. Check the float controls to see that they remain at
the proper design settings.
Force Mains from The route of the force mains should be checked for
Pump Stations to breakage. A break in the line would probably show up as a
Media Filters wet area at the ground surface.
& Fields
Pump Station If solids have built up in the tanks, they should be pumped
out. Check for infiltration at influent pipe and at seams in
tank.
Equipment Specifications All materials relative to the pumps, controls, electrical
filters, etc. shall be maintained by the owner.
Check the operations of all float switches and check for
proper setting height.
Check the pump operation by manually operating and
observing the flow and calculate draw downs from the tank.
UV alarm Follow all manufacturers' requirements relative to operation
and servicing of the alarm. Malfunction of any electronic
control equipment will probably require outside service for
repair. Check the sensor and bulb to see that they remain
clean and operational.

DESCRIPTION OF MAINTENANCE ITEMS
ITEM
Septic Tank When solids become concentrated in the septic tank, they
will also settle in the second chamber. When solids reach
1/3 of the liquid level in the first compartment of the tank,
they should be pumped out immediately. When re-
attaching the access lids, inspect their seals, and replace, if
damaged.
High Water Alarm Follow all manufacturers' requirements relative to operation
and servicing of the alarm. Malfunction of any electronic
control equipment will probably require outside service for
repair. Check the float controls to see that they remain at
the proper design settings.
Force Mains from The route of the force mains should be checked for
Pump Stations to breakage. A break in the line would probably show up as a
Media Filters wet area at the ground surface.
& Fields
Pump Station If solids have built up in the tanks, they should be pumped
out. Check for infiltration at influent pipe and at seams in
tank.
Equipment Specifications All materials relative to the pumps, controls, electrical
filters, etc. shall be maintained by the owner.
Check the operations of all float switches and check for
proper setting height.
Check the pump operation by manually operating and
observing the flow and calculate draw downs from the tank.
UV alarm Follow all manufacturers' requirements relative to operation
and servicing of the alarm. Malfunction of any electronic
control equipment will probably require outside service for
repair. Check the sensor and bulb to see that they remain
clean and operational.

High output UV lamps
The UV light is generated from
a low-pressure, high -output lamp
new to the residential and
commercial UV market These
lamps provide a higher intensity
of UV light making it possible
to treat a given volume of water
with smaller, more efficient units.
A unique water
chamber design
Trojan's unique water chamber
optimizes hydraulic performance
and increases disinfection
efficiency. Designed by computer
simulation and validated by
bioassay testing, the water
chamber maximizes exposure
to the penetrating light.
With models to treat flow rates
from 0.75 to 40 gallons per minute
(2.6 to 151 liters per minute),
TrojanUVMax"' is leading the
next generation of residential
and commercial UV systems.
New power supply
technology
Electronic advances in Trojan's
power supply offer flexibility
over a broad range of voltage
supplies (90-265v). In addition,
it can withstand fluctuations in
voltage that most power supplies
are unable to tolerate while
maintaining lamp intensity to
ensure continuous disinfection.

TrojanUVMax"' reminds
YOU to replace the lamp
To help remind you when to
replace the lamp (it is important
to do it once every year), Trojan
has incorporated visual and audio
signals. And, at any time, the display
will tell you how many months the
lamp has been in use. Should your
lamp ever fail, your system will
automatically sound an alarm.
New UV intensity
monitoring device
The premium version,
TrojanUVMaxPlus,"' incorporates
brand new and innovative UV
intensity monitoring technology.
The new design enhances the
reliability and accuracy of this
optional safety feature.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
GROUNDING
This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This system is equipped with a cord
having an equipment -grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER — Improper connection of the equipment -grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrocution.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with this system — if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use any type of adapter with this system.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION
To comply with the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and to provide additional protection from the risk of
electric shock, this system should only be connected to a properly grounded, grounding -type power supply

To meet the water quality parameters described above, you may need to pre -treat your water to ensure
appropriate disinfection. Pre-treatment equipment must be installed BEFORE the UV reactor. Ask your water
treatment dealer for further information about water quality and testing.
Pre-treatment systems can be comprised of one or man; of the following elements:
• Cuban Filter
• Iron Removal System
• Water Softener
• Cyst reduction filter (ANSI/NSF Standard 53 listed)
Required: Pre-treatment MUST INCLUDE a sediment filter (5 micron nominal) installed upstream of (before)
the UV system in order to ensure that particles capable of shielding pathogens are removed from the water
prior to entering the UV system.
Recommended: Shut off valves should be installed before and after the UV unit, and a sample valve (outlet)
should be installed after the unit to allow for pressure -release and water sampling.

operational.
12.Clean the distribution lines:
Once the UV system is installed, any
contamination in the distribution lines
between the UV system and your
water outlets must be removed.
Similarly, if the power goes out and
your system is not equipped with an
automatic shut-off feature, you must
also disinfect the downstream
distribution lines.
• Make sure the UV system is on.
Leave the system on during the
entire cleaning process.
• Remove a filter housing and fill the
filter container with bleach (remove
the filter for this process).
• Replace the filter housing and allow
water to flow to all faucets (hot and
cold, inside and outside the house),
your washing machine, toilets, and
all other water outlets. Once you
can smell bleach in the hot and the
cold water, turn the water to that
outlet off. When this has been
done for all outlets, let the water sit
in the water lines for two to four
hours.
• Completely flush all the lines a
minimum of five minutes and then
put the filter back in the filter
housing.

such as a lamp malfunction
An audible alarm will sound when-
ever the indicator light is red.
The audible and visual alarm
indicators will persist until the
problem is corrected or the
system is unplugged from the
electrical outlet. It is possible to
disable the audible alarm; see
24-Hour Alarm Postpone Function.
Note: If the system is unplugged
the water will not be disinfected
and the distribution lines will have
to be cleaned.
If you experience any kind of alarm
(audible or visual), see the
Troubleshooting Section of this
manual.
Elapsed Time Meter
The Elapsed Time Meter measures
the number of months that the
lamp has been operating. The
lamp must be replaced after it has
been operating for 12 months.
• After 11 months indicator light
turns amber.
• After 12 months indicator light
turns red and alarm sounds.

After 14 months the alarm postpone
function is disabled, indicating that
the lamp must be replaced and that
it is not providing proper
disinfection.
After lamp replacement, the time
meter must be reset (see Elapsed
Time Meter Re -Set Function).
Push Button
The push button has two functions
24-Hour Alarm Postpone Function:
When the unit is in alarm, the indicator
light is red and an alarm sounds. If you
press the push button for less than
two seconds, the indicator light will
flash red and the audible alarm will
stop. The unit is still in alarm, but the
audio alarm stops for your
convenience until you can contact
a dealer.
This alarm will re -occur after 24 hours
if its cause has not been corrected.
If the unit detects another problem
during the 24-hour alarm postpone
period, it will go into alarm again, the
indicator light will turn solid red, and
the alarm will sound.
After 14 months of lamp operation,
the alarm postpone will not work until
the lamp is replaced and the time
meter is reset.
Elapsed Rme Meter Re -Set Function:
After the lamp has been
changed, the Elapsed Time
Meter must be reset by following
the procedure below:
a) Disconnect the power supply
and leave it unplugged for 10
seconds.
b) Press and HOLD the push
button.
c) Connect the power supply to
the outlet while continuing to
press the push button. The
indicator light will flash green
for about 3 seconds.
d) Continue to hold the push
button until the indicator light
flashes red, then release
immediately.
External Control Relay
This feature provides switching
for the operation of a solenoid
(shut-off) valve and/or remote
alarm. When the lamp is not
operating properly or the UV
sensor signals that the UV
output is below set point, the
contacts will open causing the
solenoid to stop the water flow
and/or a remote alarm to sound.
The dry contact remains open if
the lamp has been in operation
for 12 months or more.
UV Sensor
The UV sensor measures the
amount of UV light reaching it,
allowing the system to monitor
whether the intensity is above the
minimum required for proper
disinfection. The sensor is factory
calibrated and is not field_
adjustable.
13

CAUTION:
UV-C rays are present
when the unit is
operating. Follow the
instructions carefully to
avoid injury to eyes
and skin. Only qualified
persons should install
or replace UV lamps or
sleeves.
14
SERVICE
AND MAINTENANCE
There we two regular maintenance
requirements common to all UV
systems: cleaning and lamp
replacement.
CLEANING
Minerals in the water will eventually coat
the quartz sleeve (which protects the
Imp), as well as the sensor (if system
is so equipped). This coating must be
cleaned off periodically because it
reduces the amount of UV light reaching
the water, thereby reducing disinfection
performance.
Once a month, check the sleeve and
clean it if you can see a mineral coating
starting to farm. If sleeve requires
cleaning, refer to Lamp Replacement
instructions but re -install the original
Imp. If system is equipped with a
sensor, be sure to clean the sensor
each time the lamp is cleaned, as per
Lamp Replacement instructions.
LAMP REPLACEMENT
The I mp's UV intensity decreases over
time. You can safely use your lamp for
12 months, after which it must be
replaced. For instance, if you use your
system for 12 continuous months, you
must replace your lamp at the end of
this period. If you use the system only
siz months each year, you would need
to change your lamp at the end of the
second six-month period.
Follow the steps outlined below to
replace your lamp.
Lamp Removal
1. Shut off water supply to (upstream
of) the UV system.
2. Open a tap downstream of the UV
unit to release pressure, then close
this tap.
3. Unplug the power supply and let the
lamp cool for 5 minutes.
4. Squeeze the sides of the safety cap
in the area opposite the tabs (do not
squeeze tabs), and remove the cap
(Figure 1).
5. Pull the lamp plug off the lamp end
(Figure 2). Do not pull on the cord
when removing the plug. Note:
During lamp replacement, the ground
and strain relief wires of the lamp
plug should remain connected to the
peg on the reactor.
6. Holding the sleeve bolt, unscrew the
lamp/sleeve assembly and carefully
remove it from the reactor (Figure 3).
Handle assembly by ends only. If
required, a wrench can be placed on
the two flat sides of the sleeve bolt.
Do NOT apply the wrench to the
lamp end, which sits within the
sleeve bolt and protrudes 1 /2".

Z To remove the lamp from its
sleeve, use a glove or cloth to
support and hold an to the sleeve.
Holding the sleeve bolt tight,
unscrew the lamp end, the top of
which protrudes 1/2" above the
sleeve bolt (Figure 4). Be careful
not to drop the sleeve.

sensor for signs of damage or wear.
5. Ensure that the O-rings and any
surfaces in contact with them are
clean.
6. Clean the quartz --glass window of
the UV sensor using a soft, lint -free
cotton swab and a chemical scale -
remover such as Lime-a-Way1° or
CLR1O (follow manufacturer's
15

directions). Remove all traces of
cleaning solution by thoroughly
rinsing.
7. Insert the UV sensor completely
into the sensor port, turning the
sensor slowly while doing so.
Water may be put on the sensor
0-ring to facilitate this procedure.
8. Screw the brass nut on finger tight.
Caution: Over tightening may
cause leakage.
Figure fi
Lamp Installation
1. Each lamp and sleeve comes with
two new 0-rings. Place the new
O-rings and the original sleeve bolt
an the lamp sleeve as per Figure 7.
Caution: Do not lubricate any
of the 0-rings.
2. Put the lamp completely into the
sleeve. Maintain it in that position
5N
and screw the sleeve bolt into the
lamp end until solidly hand -tight
(Figure 8). Caution: Over
tightening will break the
quartz lamp sleeve.
3. Carefully place the lamp/ sleeve
assembly into the reactor, making
sure it is centered. Apply pressure
to the assembly and screw it into
the reactor until solidly hand -tight
(Figure 9). Caution:
Over tightening will break the
quartz lamp sleeve.
4. Push the plug onto the end of the
Imp while ensuring that the male
tab on the lamp inserts into the

Disinfecting the Lines
It is recommended that the
distribution lines be cleaned
following my maintenance procedure
in which the water in the lines may
have been exposed to the air or to
any undisinfected water.
1. Remove a filter housing, remove
the filter, and fill the housing
container with bleach. Replace the
filter housing.
2. Allow water to flow to all faucets
(hot and cold, inside and outside
of the house), your washing
machine, toilets, and all other
outlets. Once you can smell
bleach in the hot and the cold
water, turn the water to that outlet
off. When this has been done for
all outlets, let the water sit in the
water lines for two to four hours.
3. Completely flush all the lines a
minimum of five minutes and then
put the filter back in the filter
housing.

EXPLANATION OF SYSTEM OPERATION AND DESIGN
The wastewater disposal system recommended for this site consists of a
pretreatment system and a four -zone surface drip irrigation wastewater disposal system
containing the following: a 1,200 gallon septic tank with effluent filter; a 1,000 gallon
recirculating tank with an Orenco AdvanTex treatment system; a 3,000 gallon pump tank
for field dosing; a Geoflow Headworks pump controller with accessories for the 3,000
gallon pump tank; supply and return piping system; four surface drip irrigation
wastewater disposal fields using Geoflow Wasteflow PC dripper line; and an alarm
system for indication when problems with the system occur. It should be kept in mind
that this system is designed to accommodate a moderate amount of wastewater from the
household and that all measures should be undertaken to minimize the volume of water
entering the system to include the following precautions:
(a) Providing water conserving plumbing fixtures within the house;
(b) Making timely repairs to leaking plumbing fixtures;
(c) Developing conservative water use habits on the part of all members
of the household;
(d) Monitoring and maintaining the system as may be necessary for
proper operation;
(e) Checking and pumping the septic tank sludge on a regular basis of
approximately every year when garbage grinders are included in the
wastewater system (NOT RECOMMENDED) or every two years
when garbage grinders are not included;
(f) Insuring proper installation of this system by a competent Installation
Contractor; and
(g) Avoiding excessive sprinkling of the yard in the vicinity of the
absorption fields.
The system as recommended is intended to provide satisfactory wastewater disposal for
the site for a reasonable period of time. Due to the rather complex inter -relationship
between soil properties, system installation, wastewater habit patterns of the household,
system maintenance, vegetative activity, climate and rainfall, and other factors over
which the Engineer has no control, yet which ultimately influence the successful
operation of a wastewater disposal system, the Engineer requires that he be relieved of
any liability that may result from failing or malfunctioning of this system of wastewater
disposal. The persons occupying this residence should be familiar with the contents of
the Engineer's recommendations. A CONFERENCE SHOULD BE HELD WITH THE
ENGINEER AND THE INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR IN ATTENDANCE PRIOR
TO BEGINNING ANY ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE WASTEWATER
DISPOSAL SYSTEM IN ORDER TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND TO
INSURE THAT THE INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR WILL MAKE NO CHANGES
TO THE RECOMMENDED SYSTEM WITHOUT FIRST OBTAINING WRITTEN
PERMISSION FOR SUCH CHANGES FROM THE ENGINEER. THE
CONTRACTOR SHALL COORDINATE HIS WORK SCHEDULE WITH THE
ENGINEER AND WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT IN
/2

ORDER THAT APPROPRIATE AND TIMELY INSPECTIONS OF THE
CONSTRUCTION WORK CAN BE MADE.

DESIGN WORKSHEET
1. House size = 3 bedroom = 360 gallons per day wasteflow.
2. Soil loading rate = 0.033 gallons per day per square foot as recommended by licensed
soil scientist Steven Price of Soil & Environmental Consultants, Inc.
3. Total dripper field required = 360 GPD divided by 0.033 GPD/SF = 10,900 ft.2
required — 10,900 ft.2 divided by 3' spacing = 3,634 linear feet of drip line required.
Recommend 4 separate zones: Zone 1 of 2,725 ft.2 = 2,725 ft.2 divided by 3' wide
area per line = 909 linear feet of drip line required; Zone 2 of 2,725 ft.2 = 2,725 ft.2
divided by 3' wide area per line = 909 linear feet of drip line required; Zone 3 of
2,725 ft.2 = 2,725 ft.2 divided by 3' wide area per line = 909 linear feet of drip line
required; Zone 4 of 2,725 ft.2 = 2,725 ft.2 divided by 3' wide area per line = 909
linear feet of drip line required
4. Because of excessive slope the actual dripper line spacing is 4 feet on center - Divide
each field into separate lines along the contour as shown on sheet 3 of the engineering
plans.
5. Each of the 4 disposal fields will have drip emitters every 2 feet of dripper pipe run.
Therefore, zone 1 will have 455 emitters, zone 2 will have 455 emitters, zone 3 will
have 455 emitters, and zone 4 will have 455 emitters.
6. Septic tank size = 1,200 gallon capacity precast concrete
7. Recirculating treatment tank size = 1,000 gallon capacity precast concrete. Pump tank
size = 3,000 gallon capacity for dosing pretreated effluent from the treatment system
to the disposal fields.
8. Length of 1-1/2" diameter Schedule 40 PVC force main supply pipe = 111 linear feet
longest run from pump control panel to Zone #4
9. Length of 1-1/2" diameter Schedule 40 PVC field flushing pipe = 111 linear feet
longest run from Zone #4 to pump control panel.
10. Configuration of the drip irrigation disposal fields. Four separate surface drip disposal
zones required.
Zones 1 contains 3 runs of drip emitter pipe making multiple passes through the area
of the drip disposal fields for a total of 910 linear feet of dripper pipe having 455 drip
emitters total per disposal field zone.

Zones 4 contains 3 runs of drip emitter pipe making multiple passes through the area
of the drip disposal fields for a total of 910 linear feet of dripper pipe having 455 drip
emitters total per disposal field zone.
11. Dosing flow rate per surface disposal field zone
Zone 1 = 455 drip emitters per surface disposal field zone x 0.53 gallons per hour per
emitter = 241.15 gallons per hour = 4.02 gallons per minute. Each field will receive
(360 gpd)(455/1820) = 90 gpd. Pump run time for zone 1 = 90 gal./241.15 gph =
0.373 hours = 22 minutes, 24 seconds.
Zones 2 = 455 drip emitters per surface disposal field zone x 0.53 gallons per hour
per emitter = 241.15 gallons per hour = 4.02 gallons per minute. Each field will
receive (360 gpd)(455/1820) = 90 gpd. Pump run time for zone 1 = 90 gal./241.15
gph = 0.373 hours = 22 minutes, 24 seconds.
Zone 3 = 455 drip emitters per surface disposal field zone x 0.53 gallons per hour per
emitter = 241.15 gallons per hour = 4.02 gallons per minute. Each field will receive
(360 gpd)(455/1820) = 90 gpd. Pump run time for zone 1 = 90 gal./241.15 gph =
0.373 hours = 22 minutes, 24 seconds.
Zone 4 = 455 drip emitters per surface disposal field zone x 0.53 gallons per hour per
emitter = 241.15 gallons per hour = 4.02 gallons per minute. Each field will receive
(360 gpd)(455/1820) = 90 gpd. Pump run time for zone 1 = 90 gal./241.15 gph =
0.373 hours = 22 minutes, 24 seconds.
12. Field flushing flow rate per subsurface disposal field zone
Zone 1, 2, 3, & 4: have 3 return connections x 1.9 gallons per minute per connection
= 5.7 gallons per minute required to flush.
13. Total FLOW required per subsurface disposal field
Zone 1: 4.02 gpm dosing flow rate + 5.7 gpm field flushing flow rate = 9.72 gpm,
say 10 gpm.
Zones 2: 4.02 gpm dosing flow rate + 5.7 gpm field flushing flow rate = 9.72 gpm,
say 10 gpm.

DESIGN WORKSHEET (continued)
Zones 3: 4.02 gpm dosing flow rate + 5.7 gpm field flushing flow rate = 9.72 gpm,
say 10 gpm.
Zones 4: 4.02 gpm dosing flow rate + 5.7 gpm field flushing flow rate = 9.72 gpm,
say 10 gpm.
14. Length of suction line from the field dosing tank to the headworks location = 20
linear feet of 1 1/4" diameter Schedule 40 PVC pipe (includes fittings).
15. Suction lift required from the pipe inlet within the pump tank to grade @ the pump
location = 9 feet.
16. Calculations of line losses for pump system design are as follows:
(a). Suction line friction loss through 20 LF (includes fittings) of 1 1/4" diameter pipe
at 10 gpm = (1.67 ft./100 ft.)(20 ft.) = 0.33 ft.
(b). Supply line friction loss through 111 LF (includes fittings) of 1-1/2" diameter
pipe at 10 gpm = (0.79 ft./100 ft.)(111 ft.) = 0.88 ft
(c). Return flush line friction loss through 111 LF (includes fittings) of 1-1/2"
diameter pipe at 10 gpm = (0.79 ft./100 ft.)(1I I ft.) = 0.88 ft.
(d). Pump and filter unit friction loss at 10 gpm = 8.1 ft.
(f). Elevation head = 0 ft.
(g). Dripper line friction loss for 360' lateral = 16.2 ft.
(h). Static lift from pump to control unit = 9 ft.
(i). Pressure head required at drip field = 25 psi = 57.75 ft.
TOTAL OF ALL LOSSES AVOVE = 0.33 ft. suction line loses + 0.88 ft. for supply
pipe losses + 0.88 ft. return flush line losses + 8.1 ft. pump & filter unit losses + 0 ft.
elevation losses + 16.2 ft. dripper line losses + 9 ft. static lift + 57.75 pressure head =
93.14 ft. TOTAL losses @ 10.0 gpm flow rate.
Pump must deliver 10 gallons per minute at 93.14 ft. of head. Use Zoeller model
5030-0006 submersible pump.

Re: Revised Soils Report for Proposed Residential Surface Drip Irrigation Septic System
Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA. (S&EC) has performed a soil/site evaluation on
Lot 194 in Catawba Falls Preserve in McDowell County, NC. This was performed at
your request as part of a preliminary planning process in order to determine areas of soil,
which have potential for a wastewater disposal system. This lot does not contain enough
suitable soils to support a 3-bedroom subsurface septic system. Therefore, a surface drip
system is being proposed. S&EC has determined the location and characteristics of a site
that is potentially usable for a surface drip irrigation wastewater system. This report
details S&EC. findings and provides the necessary soil/site information needed for a drip
irrigation system to be designed by a professional engineer.
The potentially usable soil areas were flagged on the ground using orange S&EC logo
flagging and are shown on the accompanying AutoCAD map (Map 1). The proposed drip
field on the map does not meet all state of North Carolina buffer requirements. This is
due to the property lines not being marked between the lots. The map also shows the
approximate locations where measurements of saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat)
were performed.
An USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service soil survey for McDowell County was
available for use in utilizing recorded maps and data for the soil at this site. The upland
soils on the site are most like the Cowee soil series. A profile description is attached.
The site consists of upland sideslopes. Shallow depth to rock and steep slopes in the
examined areas can be an unsuitable condition for subsurface disposal of wastewater.
However,these limitations still allow the opportunity for surface drip application of
treated wastewater on this site.
The soil conditions in the proposed drip area are described in the accompanying soil
profile description. No indications of seasonal wetness were found in the borings. The
site is forested land with slopes that range up to approximately 70%. Based on the
dominant soil series (Cowee), the attached water balance shows that the site can
hydraulically assimilate 19.58 inches of irrigation water per year. This is approximately

equivalent to 0.38 inches per week. A three -bedroom house (360 gallons per day design
flow) would require a minimum of 10,900 square feet of wetted area for drip irrigation
application. The maximum instantaneous application rate should not exceed 0.15 inches
per hour.
Soils within the proposed drip area were also analyzed for current fertility conditions.
Since the proposed drip area consisted of hardwood forest with comparable landscape
position, past management and growing conditions are considered to be similar. Based
on these similarities and the uniformity of the soils that were encountered on the site, one
composite sample was used to infer soil fertility status. The standard soil fertility analysis
was completed by A&L Eastern Laboratories, Inc on October 3, 2006. Soil sample
results and fertility recommendations are included in "Soil Analysis Report" provided by
A&L (see attached).
Site disturbance should be absolutely minimized on the area to be used for surface drip
application of wastewater. If the existing vegetation is to be removed, then special care
(i.e. trees removed by hand) should be utilized in this removal process. Site disturbance
could create unsuitable conditions for a drip system. A permanent vegetative cover
should be immediately established and maintained over the entire application field after
installation.
Calculations
Maximum Instantaneous Application Rate (in/hr)
Utilizing the attached Table 1 for typical ranges of soil infiltration rates the Cowee
soil falls into the very fine sandy loam class in the 9+% slope range. This
infiltration rate is 0.15 to 0.3 in/hr. The recommended rate is 0.15 in/hr.
2. Water Balance
A water balance was developed for the proposed irrigation field by
balancing water losses and gains:
Evapotranspiration + Natural runoff + Drainage = Precipitation + Irrigation
A. Potential Evapotranspiration (PET)
PET data were obtained from the North Carolina University
Experiment Station Bulletin 396, "Weather and Climate in North
Carolina". Data for the Piedmont region was used.
B. Drainage (DR)
The drainage term was calculated by the procedure described in
zq

US EPA 625/1-77-008, "Process Design Manual for Land
Treatment of Municipal Wastewater". The percolation or drainage rate
was calculated as 1% of the measured Ksat of the most restrictive horizon
in the soil. Three Ksat measurements were made on site. Each
measurement was made in the Bt horizon of the soil. The recommended
Ksat value used by S&EC is 0.06 in/hr. Although the slowest Ksat value
measured on site (0.99 in/hr) is higher than this recommended value,
S&EC feels that 0.06 in/hr better represents the suitable drip area as a
whole. 1.0% of 0.06 in/hr is 0.06 in/hr or 0.144 in/day. Input for this
figure is based on 31, 30, and 28 day months.
C. Natural Runoff (NR)
Since the system is designed to operate with no runoff, the rate of natural
runoff was not used in the water balance calculation.
D. Precipitation (PPT)
Precipitation data were obtained from the McDowell County Soil Survey.
This data was gathered from 1951-1981 at Marion, North Carolina. The
total rainfall from the 2 years in 10 column listed in the soil survey was
utilized which was 65.68 inches. The monthly totals were taken as a
percentage of this total rainfall. The yearly totalwas utilized to determine.
average application rates.
The water balance application rates are assumed to be maximum rates in a 2 year in 10
rainfall year with normal distribution. Actual application rates will depend on actual
precipitation during a given year.
Specifications:
Assumed Design flow - 360 gal/day
Allowable Irrigation Rate - 0.033 gal/ft /day (0.38 in/week)
Total minimum area needed for sprayfield—10,900 fit (wetted area)
Maximum Instantaneous Application Rate- 0.15 in/hr
The area required is the minimum wetted area needed for treated wastewater applicatioA. '
The usable soil area indicated on the attached map was flagged (numbered 19 — 35) by i
S&EC, and estimated to be in excess of 70,000 ft. The delineated area and property lm- es
should be surveyed to make sure all setback requirements are met. The area flagged by'
S&EC is more than enough area for the septic system, but does encroach upon the setback
requirements since the property lines were not marked. By flagging out more area than is
needed it gives you and your engineer more options on system placement.

This report discusses the general location of potentially useable soils for on -site surface
wastewater disposal and, of course, does not constitute or imply any approval or permit as
needed by the client from the State. S&EC is a professional consulting firm that
specializes in the delineation of soil areas for wastewater disposal. As a professional
consulting firm, S&EC is hired for its professional opinion in these matters. The rules
governing wastewater treatment (interpreted and governed by local and state agencies) are
evolving constantly, and in many cases, affected by the opinions of individuals employed
by these governing agencies. Because of this, S&EC cannot guarantee that areas
delineated and/or systems designed will be pemvtted by the governing agencies. As
always, S&EC recommends that anyone making financial commitments on a tract be fully
aware of individual permit requirements on that tract prior to final action.
An individual septic system permit will be required for this lot prior to obtaining a
building permit. This will involve a detailed evaluation by the county or state to
determine, among other things, system size and layout, drive/parking and building
location. Only after developing this information can a final determination be made
concerning specifics of system design and site utilization.
Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA. is pleased to be of service in this matter and we
look forward to assisting in any site analysis needs you may have in the future. Please
feel free to call with any questions or comments. If requested to meet on -site, S&EC
should be given at least a five-day notice for scheduling purposes.
Sincerely,
Steven M. Price

Applications
VeriComm® AXA7 and AXA2 remote telemetry control panels are
used with simplex pumping operations — timed recirculation,
with gravity discharge — 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 AXA panels allow remote operators to change system
parameters, including timer settingsfrom the web interface.

To Specify... -
To specify this panel for your installation, require the following:
Basic Control Logic. Two Operating Modes
• 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
time, 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.

Overview
AdvanTex° Treatment Systems � ama•

1-800.348-9a43
Orenco's AdvanTex® Treatment Systems are an innovative technology for onsite treatment
of wastewater. The heart of the System is the AdvanTex filter, a sturdy, watertight fiber-
glass basin filled with an engineered textile material. This lightweight, highly absorbent
textile material treats a tremendous amount of wastewater in a small space. That's because
textile has a very large surface area for biological breakdown of wastewater components —
about five times greater than that of an equivalent volume of sand. Yet the AdvanTex fil-
ter has a very small footprint.
System Performance
Orenco Systems® has been researching, designing, testing, and selling a variety of textile
filters for about seven years. Approximately 2,000 textile filters have been installed
throughout the United States and Canada, on sites ranging from federal demonstration proj-
ects to university testing facilities, single-family homes, commercial properties, and com-
munity systems.
Unlike other wastewater treatment technologies, the AdvanTex Treatment System provides
consistent reliable wastewater treatment, even during "peak flow" conditions. The
AdvanTex Treatment System includes a processing tank and a control panel with a pro-
grammable dosing timer. So it discharges small amounts of treated wastewater, regularly,
throughout the day.
AdvanTex treats residential -strength waste to better than "secondary" standards. Effluent
can be used for drip or subsurface irrigation, or discharged to shallow, inconspicuous
trenches. It can also be discharged to fine-grained polishing filters for coliform removal
and water reuse.
Third -Party Performance Verification
AdvanTex Treatment Systems have undergone lengthy performance testing to ANSI and
ANSI/NSF standards. This third party testing (NSF Final Report, April 2002) of treatment
performance recorded a maximum 30-day arithmetic mean of 8 mg/L for CBOD5 and 6
mg/L for suspended solids. Over the six-month course of the evaluation, the average efflu-
ent CBOD5 was 5 mg/L, and the average effluent suspended solids was 4 mg/L.
System Benefits
Significantly smaller land area is required for the AdvanTex Treatment System than is
required for sand and gravel filters. That's because textile has demonstrated the capacity to
support microbial populations that can treat filtered processing tank effluent at greater
hydraulic loading rates. In fact, loading rates for AdvanTex Treatment Systems are typically
5-20 times higher than for sand filters. In addition, reductions in drainfield.size are often
permitted with AdvanTex Treatment Systems. Moreover, textile is lightweight, making it
ideal for prepackaging and shipping, which simplifies installation and reduces costs.
Applications
The AdvanTex Treatment System is ideal for...
• New construction
• System upgrades and repairs
• Pretreatment of moderately high -strength waste
• Wherever typical secondary treatment standards suffice

System Operation and Maintenance
AdvanTex is easy to service, easy to clean, and generates virtually no troublesome activated sludge.
Like most advanced technologies, the AdvanTex Treatment System requires regular maintenance. As a
condition of warranty, property owners must purchase a service contract from a certified third party
provider.
The AdvanTex Treatment System includes a VeriComm® telemetry control panel with a web -based
monitoring system, supervised by the System's service provider. Alarm notifications are automatically
sent to the service provider's e-mail capable device. Messages are resent until the condition has been
cleared. As a back-up, the VeriComm control panel also has an audible alarm. And the System is sized
to allow for a minimum of 24 hours of wastewater storage (at average daily flows). That means an
operator can provide service to the system during normal working hours, regardless of when an alarm
occurs.
The AdvanTex System's pumps typically run 30-60 minutes per day, so AdvanTex uses very little
power ... an average of $1.25-2.50 per month (based on the national average of eight cents per kilo-
watt hour). Compare that to power costs of up to $20-$60 per month for many "activated sludge" aero-
bic treatment units.
Treatment Methodology
The AdvanTex Treatment System works just like a recirculating sand filter: a reliable, proven technolo-
gy that Orenco's engineers have helped to perfect over the past 20 years. While the treatment process is
similar, the proprietary treatment module is more efficient.
In an AdvanTex Treatment System, wastewater percolates through the textile media, whose complex
fiber structure provides tremendous water -holding capacity and offers an extremely large surface area
for biomass attachment. A visible biological film normally develops on the filter medium within a few
days. BOD5 and TSS reductions occur almost immediately.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Testing of the Orenco Systems Advantex AX20N, rated at 500 gpd, was conducted under the
provisions of ANSI/NSF Standard 40 for Residential Wastewater Treatment Systems (July 2000
revision). ANSI/NSF Standard 40 was developed by the NSF Joint Committee on Wastewater
Technology.
The performance evaluation was conducted at the Mamquam Wastewater Technology Test
Facility located in Squamish, British Columbia, using wastewater diverted from the Mamquam
municipal wastewater treatment plant, which serves a predominantly residential neighborhood.
The Mamquam Wastewater Technology Test Facility is a Standard 40 subcontractor for NSF.
The evaluation consisted of six days of dosing prior to the start of sampling, followed by sixteen
weeks of dosing at design flow, seven weeks of stress test and three weeks of dosing at design
flow. Sampling started in the spring and continued into the fall, covering a range of operating
temperatures. Over the course of the evaluation, the average effluent CBOD5 was 5 mg/L,
ranging between <2 and 25 mg/L, and the average effluent suspended solids was 4 mg/L,
ranging between <2 mg/L and 42 mg/L. The Advantex AX20N produced an effluent that
successfully met the performance requirements established by ANSVNSF Standard 40 for Class
I effluent:
The maximum 7-day arithmetic mean was 14 mg/L for CBOD5 and 11 mg/L for
suspended solids, both below the allowed maximums of 40 and 45 mg/L
respectively. The maximum 30-day arithmetic mean was 8 mg/L for CBOD5
and 6 mg/L for suspended solids, both below the allowed maximums of 25 and
30 mg/L respectively. The effluent pH during the entire evaluation ranged
between, 6.0 and 7.2, within the required range of 6.0 to 9.0. The plant met the
requirements for noise levels (less than 60 dbA at a distance of 20 feet) and
color, threshold odor, oily film and foam.

System Description and Treatment Process
The AdvanTex Treatment System is a multiple -pass, packed bed aerobic wastewater treatment system
specifically designed and engineered for long-term processing of residential strength wastewater. See
Figures la and lb.
Fig. la Fig. lb
AdvanTex Treatment System: Side View AdvanTex Treatment System: Top View
AdvanTex treatment systems are capable of processing residential strength wastewater to better than
"secondary standards" (see page 4, Figures 2a and 2b). 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 flow -through pori(s) in the Tahk'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 pod. The treated effluent flows out of the filter pod through the Filtrate Return Line that
returns the treated effluent to the Recirculating Splitter Valve (RSV). The RSV automatically splits or
diverts the flow between the Processing Tank and the final discharge. The RSV also controls the liquid
level within the Processing Tank. During extended periods of no flow, 100% of the treated effluent is
returned to the Processing Tank. The residential AdvanTex filters have a passive vent system and do not
require the use of a fan.

System Selection: Configuration
Multiple -pass recirculation treatment systems can be configured in several Modes. Mode 1 (shown in
Fig. la and lb) is the operating configuration used most frequently. In Mode 1, the filtrate recirculates
through the second compartment of the Processing Tank. In Mode 3 (a specialty mode), a portion or all
of the filtrate may be recirculated through the primary chamber of the tank to enhance nutrient removal.
Systems utilizing a separate Processing/Recirculation Tank, or systems that must provide high treatment
levels, will be configured for Mode 1. Refer to AdvanTex Treatment System drawings for further
details on Mode and discharge options.
System Requirements: Residential Strength Wastewater
Residential waste must meet the criteria in the "Residential Strength Wastewater" table, below. Consult
Orenco or an authorized Dealer for larger system designs.

*Maximum allowable wastewater strength pumped to an AdvanTex Treatment System is "Residential Strength Wastewater."
Residential strength wastewater is defined as primary sewage effluent from aseptic tank that does not exceed the above
parameters.
System Requirements: Processing Tank
Homes with gows u to o 50 gp require a minimum two -compartment, 1500 gallon tank with flow -
through port(s) equaling a minimum flow -through area of not less than 12 —square inches at 60L70% of
the lowest normal liquid level (see "Typical Liquid Level Positions" drawing). In larger residential
systems, the first compartment should be sized at approximately 2/3 to 3/4 of the total processing tank
volume.
All tanks must meet minimum structural requirements, be completely watertight, and pass a
test including the riser/tank connection. For detailed specifications, see structural and watert
criteria in Orenco's "General Specifications," document NDA-DG-SPEC-1 and tank specifi,
checklist in Orenco's "Concrete Tank Questionnaire."
System Selection: Recommended Tankage and Filter Units
AdvanTex treatment systems may be configured as shown in Table 2 to satisfy occupancy and flow
requirements. The following charts summarize the recommended tankage and number of textile 'filter
units based on the maximum design flow.
Recommendations assume that residential peak weekly average flows are typically two times normal
average daily flows (i.e., Qpwa = 2Qa+) and peak weekly average flows meet typical regulations
governing gpd-to-bedroom ratios.

'Processing tank includes primary and secondary compartments. The secondary compartment functions as the recirc/blend
chamber.
'With multiple tank configurations, a separate septic tank will precede the AdvanTex recirculation tank.
*System applications greater than 6 bedrooms will require a design review by Orenco Systems, Inc.
Design Loading Rates
Orenco's suggested design loading rates are based on typical per capita flow rates and average strength
characteristics expected from residential type installations, as shown above. Performance is a function
of the expected typical loads with periodic weekly highs. Typically, the daily mass loading is based on
the expected daily flows and parameter strength. Figures 2a and 2b show periodic peak loading capacity
at 95% confidence level.
The void capacity, surface area per unit volume, and moisture -holding capacity of textile are many times
greater than that of sands or gravels, thereby enabling equal treatment at higher loading rates. If the
loading rate (or mass load) needs to be reduced to meet discharge limits, it's a simple matter of adding
additional modular units. Operationally, the module's flexible and easily serviceable features make
AdvanTex units an ideal, efficient, and effective solution for all wastewater treatment applications with
domestic waste characteristics. i
Orenco Systems, Inc.'s AX20 AdvanTex Treatment System is listed as an ANSI/NSF Standard 40
Class I treatment unit for flows up to 1500 gpd in various configurations. However, in applications that
are greater than six bedrooms, please contact Orenco Systems, Inc.'s Systems Engineering Department
for more information. AdvanTex AX20 units that are required to carry the NSF mark will be labeled
AX20N per NSF protocol.
Typical Effluent Quality
Effluent quality is dependent on a number of factors, including influent characteristics and loading rates.
The following charts show third party ANSI and NSF 40 testing results. The results demonstrate that
low -to -moderate loading rates produce cBOD and TSS of <5 mg/L, while higher loading rates produce
cBOD and TSS in the range of 15-25 mg/L.

Nitrogen reduction in Mode I will typically exceed 50 percent, with total nitrogen in the filtrate ranging
between 25 and 35 mg/Lf. In Mode 3, nitrogen reduction can reach 85 percent or better, depending on
wastewater strength and other characteristics like grease and oils, pH, and alkalinity concentrations.
Nitrification can be inhibited if the buffering capacity (alkalinity) of the wastewater is too low! On a
theoretical basis, 7.14 mg/L of alkalinity as CaCO3 is needed to nitrify 1 mg/L of NH4+.
Pumping Equipment I '
The integrated treatment package includes an Orenco Biotubee pump package.
Residual Head Pressures
A 5 ft. residual pressure is used to determine the initial time -dosing settings. (Residual presst
however, may range between 1 and 10 feet, depending on system hydraulics.) Consulting will
is required when the residual pressure dosing falls outside the typical 4 to 6 foot range.
Recirculation Ratios and Timer Settings
The AdvanTex Treatment System's 4:1 recirculation ratio and initial timer settings have been 1
established based on the expected average daily flow. If flows vary significantly from expectej flow;
timer settings can be recalculated. See AdvanTex Installation Guide, NIM-ATX-AX-1, "Appendix 1:
Timer Settings Worksheet."
AdvanTex Control System
Critical to the success of the AdvanTex Treatment System is the method in which the effluent isloaded
onto the AdvanTex textile filter. Over the past three decades, timer controlled applications haveiproven
to play an essential role in optimizing the performance of both fixed and suspended growth biological
systems. A timer -controlled pump in the processing tank periodically doses effluent to a distribution
system on top of the AdvanTex Filter. Each time the filter is dosed, effluent percolates through the filter
media and is treated by naturally occurring microorganisms that populate the filter. During periods of
high flow, a timer override float will temporarily modify the timer settings to process the additional
NOA-ATX-2
Rev. 3.1,09/02 65-
Page 4 of 5

flow. Conversely, during periods of low flow, the timer settings can be modified to reduce loading onto
the AdvanTex filter.
VeriComm® remote telemetry control panels and web -based monitoring system are incorporated into all
AdvanTex Treatment System standard equipment packages. VeriComm gives wastewater system
operators and maintenance organizations the ability to monitor and control each individual system's
performance remotely. There are several additional operational benefits associated with telemetry -based
controls, including Advanced Control Logic — functions that activate in the event of component
malfunction to diagnose the system using pre -established trend data and, if necessary, modify the
operation of the system until it can be serviced. VeriComm also provides additional alert and alarm
functions to notify the operator/designer in the event that trend data indicate potential problem
conditions (e.g. high flows).
Surge Volume
For most residential applications, the recommended surge volume is approximately 150 to 250 gallons.
The actual surge volume used should be approximately 50-100% of the actual average daily flow. The
surge volume is the volume between the normal low liquid level and the high water alarm float. The
normal low liquid level is the level at which 100% of the filtrate returns to the tank. For most residential
installations, the low liquid level will be approximately 5 to 6 inches below the top of the RSV cage.
See the "Typical Liquid Level Positions" drawing for a description of typical RSV and float settings for
residential systems installed in two -compartment tanks. Refer to AdvanTex Installation Guide,
NIM-ATX-AX-1, for details.
Cold Weather Considerations
AX units are available with two inches of insulation attached to the bottom of the lid. Installing
insulation around the sides of the filter pods themselves is optional and is done onsite as needed.
Other cold weather considerations include standard practices used with most onsite pump systems, such
as allowing all lines to drain, insulating processing tank lids, and backfilling risers with pea gravel if
frost -heave is a concern. Consult Orenco if supplementary options need to be considered.

ZOELLER OXwS1TE 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 applications
include mound systems, drip systems, and recirculating media
filters. All units include cool running Franklin submersible motors
that do not require external water flow to prevent overheating.
Therefore, 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. Pumps can also be used in conjunction
with the Zoeller Effluent Turbine Filtered STEP system.

Mini-Clik® Rain Sensors
here's nothing more embarrassing
— or more wasteful or costly — than
an irrigation system that runs when It
doesn't have to ... In the rain. And the simplest,
most effective way to prevent your sprinklers
from coming on during or after precipitation
Is the Hunter Mint-Clik'. Easily installed on
any automatic irrigation system, Mini-Clik
shuts sprinklers off In a storm and keeps
them off, automatically compensating for
the amount of rainfall that occurred. Disks
absorb water and then expand proportionally
to the amount of rain that fell (e.g., a small
cloudburst would result In little absorption,
a thunderstorm with 6" of rain would lead to
more absorption and thus more expansion).
As the moisture -laden disks expand, they
eventually activate a switch that Interrupts
the circuit from the controller to the solenoid
valves. Once dry, they contract and release
the switch. Thus, the Mini-Cllk automatically
resets without ever affecting your controller.
Built to withstand the harshest conditions,
there's no better way to ensure that your
system Isn't watering when It Isn't necessary...
no wonder the Minl-Clik name has been
synonymous with rain sensors for more than
two decades.

Elmd �..° Mini-Clik Raln Sensors
Iffya'�Installation Instructions
In most installations, Uxe Mini-Cltk acts as a switch to break the circuit to the
solenoid valves of the irrigalon system when it has rained. This allows the oher
I o 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-Ciik has two blue wires ronneded to a 25 fool etension.
Forlhe Model Mini-Clik-C:This rain sensor unilis (he some 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 loldally
enclose the wires. Unless local code slates otherwise, plumbing grade PVC pipe
can be used as well as electrical grade conduit
Forlhe 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 (liner (e.g.. Inlermatie) that switches power to a pump, either directly
or through a relay: or 2) single -station electrical Umer that switches power to a
solenoid valve.
Standard Model:
Using the screws provided, niounllhe Mini-Clik on any surface where ilwdll lie
exposed to unobstructed rainfall, but not in the path of sprinkler spray.The
switch -housing I:ortron must be upright (as pictured), but the swivel-brockel can
he moved for mounting on any ended surface. Loosen the locknut and screw
before swiveling bracket,
and then re -lighten.
For the Conduit Model
Mini-Clik-C
The conduit acts as tine
mounting support for the
unit Therefore, pace
and mount the ronduil
to allow for the desired
sensor location as
described in the main
inslmrtions for the
standard model. Be sure
to support, the conduit
sufficiently along its
various lengths
Forlhe High -Voltage
Model Mini-Clik-HV:
The mounting of this unit
is primarily made by
screwing the filling 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 spoVights. Locale
the junction box so that
with the Mini-Clik
attached, unobstructed
rainfall will Willa
outermost sensing end of
the unit. If a longer reach is needed, [lie "Carlon" flexible conduit piece can be
substituted with a slightly longer place (up to B" length with no support or up to
11"with support).
Helpful hints for mounting:
A. When looking for a suilable 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 — iljusl will not be as accurate in its
gauging as It could be.
C, As described in the 'Operation" section of this manual,'fesel rate" refer, to
the amount of time it lakes the Mini-Clik to dry out suffi'aent y for the sprinkle
system to Iva allowed to come back, on.The mounting location will afford this
rate and should be taken into consideration should extreme rr,ndilions east.
For example, mounting the Mini-Clik co 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 feel with wire clips or sin pled 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 fl 50-'100 fl. 100 fi. or more

WASTEWATER DESIGN, INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
WASTEWATER DESIGN, INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
I

INTRODUCTION
Geoflow's WASTEFLOW01 drip system disperses 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 grid design provides a complete subsurface wetted area.
The objective with effluent dispersal is usually to disperse 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 a highly efficient method to dispose of effluent. Small, precise amounts of water
are uniformly applied under the soil surface from multiple points.
The main advantages of Geoflow's subsurface drip system for effluent dispersal are
• Human and animal contact with effluent is minimized, reducing health risks
• Correctly designed systems will not cause puddling or runoff.
• It can be used under difficult circumstances of high water tables, tight soils, rocky terrain,
steep slopes, around existing buildings, trees or other vegetation, 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, workmanship 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.
NOTES
These guidelines are for secondary treated effluent When using primary treated effluent,
Geoflow recommends automating all the self flushing valves, and increasing the number of
emission points in the dispersal field. For more information on septic tank dispersal, please
check our website at www.geoflow.com or telephone Geoflow at 800-828-3388.
Please follow your State and County Regulations for onsite wastewater dispersal. This
manual is intended to be a guide to users of the Geoflow drip system and should be used
only as a supplement to your local regulations

SYSTEM COMPONENTS:
See Diagram 1 on page 3.
A typical drip system installation will consist of the elements listed below:
1. WASTEFLOWO DRIPLINE
(See Appendix 1 for product specification)
WASTEFLOW dripline carries the water into the dispersal/reuse area. The dripline is connected to
the supply and return manifolds with Compression or Lockslip fittings. Typical spacing between
each dripline and between drip emitters is 24"on center. 12"spacing is used regularly for soils with
very low or high permeability. 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
available. Rolls of alternative lengths, diameters and dripper spacings may be special ordered.
WASTEFLOW dripline features:
a)ROOTGUARDQz
The risk of root intrusion with an emitter slowly releasing nutrient rich effluent directly into
the soil is well known to anyone who has observed a leaking sewer pipe. All Geoflow drip
emitters are guaranteed to be protected against root intrusion with ROOTGUARD. This
patented process fuses the root -growth inhibitor, TREFLANQ3 into each drip emitter during
manufacturing. Treflan is registered with the United States EPA for this application. The
ROOTGUARD technology slowly releases Treflan in minute quantities to prevent root cells
from dividing and growing into the barrier zone. It is chemically degradable, non -systemic,
and virtually insoluble in water (0.3 ppm). ROOTGUARD carries a 10 year warranty against
root intrusion.
b) U1traFresh© Protection
Geoflow's WASTEFLOW has an inner lining impregnated with a an antimicrobial, Tributyl tin
maleate, to inhibit adhesion of biological growth on the inside walls of the tube and the
emitters. It does not have any measurable biological effect on the effluent passing through the
tube. This minimizes the velocity required to flush WASTEFLOW dripline. The velocity only
needs to move out the fine particles that pass through the 100 micron filter that, if not flushed,
will ultimately accumulate at the distal end of each lateral. It is not necessary to scour growth
off the inside wall of WASTEFLOW tubing. Since all pumps deliver more volume given less
resistance to flow, just opening the flush valve will usually achieve this degree of flushing.
When a minimum flushing velocity is requested, 0.5 feet per second is used with Wasteflow
dripline to get the settled particles at the bottom of the pipe back into suspension. This equates
to 0.375 gpm per dripline.
c) 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

71

WAMFLOW Classic
d) WASTEFLOW Classic and WASTEFLOW PC Dripline
Both WASTEFLOW Classic and WASTEFLOW PC have turbulent flow path emitters with
ROOTGUARD and UltraFreshe protection. The WASTEFLOW PC has the added element of a
silicone rubber diaphragm that moves up and down over the emitter outlet to equalize flows
regardless of pressure between 7 and 60 psi. To ensure a long life the recommended operating
range is 10 to 45 psi.
For WASTEFLOW Classic the flow rate delivered by the emitter is a function of the pressure
at the emitter. The Classic dripline has the advantage of no moving parts or rubber that may
degrade over time. Also, when minimum flushing velocities are required, the flows during a
dosing cycle and flushing cycle are very similar with the Wasteflow Classic because when the
flush valve is opened, the pressure is reduced, causing the flows from the emitters to decline.
PC driplines require significantly higher flow for flushing than dosing as the emitter flow does
not go down during the flushing cycle.
We recommend that WASTEFLOW PC be used when the advantages are of substantial
economic 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.CONTROLLERS
(See Appendix 3)
Controllers are used for time dosing and time flushing of the filter and dripfields. GEO controllers.
include a programmable logic control interface for field modifications. They can be used on systems
ranging in size from one to eight 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. PUMPS AND PUMP TANKS
WASTEFLOW dripfields depend on pumps to dose effluent under 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. Pump tanks should be sized according to your local rules
and regulations.
4. FILTERS
Geoflow systems use a self-cleaning Vortex Filter with a stainless screen 150 mesh / 100 micron
filter element. The self-cleaning action is efficient over a range of flow rates depending on the filter
size. The clean -out port is at the base and can be opened and closed manually or automatically. If
using a manual flush valve, please keep the valve cracked open slightly at all times for continuous
flushing. Flush should be set at 1% of dosing flow but no less than 1 gallon per minute, whichever is
greater. The controller will fully open automatic filter flush valves.
72

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 freezing conditions. 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 will help to
keep the manifolds clean. The return manifold should be installed to self -drain back to the pump or
pretreatment tank in freezing climates.
5. PRESSURE REGULATOR
(See Appendix 6 for product specification)
Pressure regulators fix the inlet pressure at a given rate and are recommended with WASTEFLOW
Classic. Under normal operating conditions, pressure in the drip lines should be 10 psi to 45 psi.
8. AIR VACUUM BREAKER
(See Appendix 5 for product specification)
Air vacuum breakers are installed at the high points to keep soil from being sucked into the emitters
due to back siphoning or backpressure. 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. One
is used on the high end of the supply manifold and one on the high point of the return manifold.
Additional air vents may be required in undulating terrain. Freezing conditions require the air
vacuum breaker be protected with insulation.
9. FILTER IF, VALVES
(See Appendix 4 for product specifications)
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 valve. If manual, it should be opened for a full
flushing at least every six months 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.
10. FIELD FLUSH VALVES.
(See Appendix 4 for product specifications)
Used to flush out fine particles that have passed through the filter and accumulated on the bottom of
the tube at the end of each 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 efficient flow
rate of the filter and/or pump, or to set system pressure instead of a pressure regulator. Certain States
do require automated electronic flushing. Please refer to your State codes.
11. ZONE VALVES
Used to divide single dispersal fields into multiple zones, these can be hydraulic activated index
valves or solenoid valves.
73

12. WASTEFLOW HEADWORKS
(See Appendix 7 for product specifications)
WASTEFLOW Headworks is a pre -assembled unit including the filter, valves and pressure gauge in
a jumbo box. It is installed between the pump and the field, Be sure to insulate the box in freezing
climates.
DESIGN PARAMETERS:
1. SELECT 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. Surface water should be directed away from the proposed field area.
2. WATER QUALITY
Determine the quality of the water entering the system. Is it secondary treated or primary treated? If
using primary treated effluent, please refer to Geoflow's article for direct septic found at
www.geoflow.com or call 800-828-3388 for a copy. Be aware of water conditions intrinsic to the
area. If iron or iron bacteria is prevalent, please be sure to eliminate it upstream of the drip system
with ozone, ultraviolet or chemical treatment. Iron can be recognized as orange stain on plumbing
fixtures and may be treated prior to entering the facility.
3. SOIL APPLICATION DESIGN
Note: This section based on Subsurface Trickle Irrigation System for On -Site Wastewater Disposal
And Reuse by B. L. Carlhe and A. Sanjines. The basis of the information is from the Texas Health
Department regulations. The rules in your County and State may vary.
The instantaneous water application rate of the system must not exceed the water absorption capacity
of the soil. A determination of the instantaneous water absorption capacity of the soil is difficult,
however, since the value varies with the water content of the soil. As the soil approaches saturation
with water, the absorption rate reduces to an equilibrium rate called the "saturated hydraulic
conductivity." Wastewater application rates should be less than 10 percent 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 assume the worst case
condition of soil saturation. By designing for a safetyfactor of 10 or 12, based on the saturated
hydraulic conductivity, the system will be under -loaded most of the time but should function without
surface failure during extreme wet periods.
By applying wastewater slowly for a few hours daily, particularly if applied in "pulses" or short
doses several times per day near the soil surface where the soil dries the quickest would keep the soil
absorption rate at the highest value and minimize the potential 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 30 mg/l is
produced in the pre-treatment system and that any anomalies such as iron bacteria have been
removed prior to dosing.
NOTES
1) The above chart is provided as a guide only. States and Counties may have regulations that
are different. Check your State guidelines and consult with your local health department.
2) Problems with drip dispersal fields occur when soils are misinterpreted. If in doubt, choose
the more restrictive soil type from the table above.
3) "Soil type" should be based on the most restrictive layer within two feet of the dripline. In
many soils 1-ft. vertical separation from the limiting layer has proven successful with
secondary treated effluent. Geoflow recommends you follow State and Local guidelines.
4) Table 1 above, with only minor modifications over the years, has served us well since 1990
with tens of thousands of systems operating successfully based upon this data. However,
thanks to work by Jerry Tyler and his associates at the University of Wisconsin -Madison
soil structure has become better understood and can now be used as a comprehensive tool
to determine optimal hydraulic loading rates.

4. DEPTH AND SPACING
WASTEFLOW systems usually have emitter lines placed on 2 foot (600 ram) centers with a 2 foot
emitter spacing such that each emitter supplies a 4 sq. ft (0.36 m2) area. These lines are best placed
at depths of 6-10 inches (150 - 250 mm) below the surface. This is a typical design for systems in
sandy and loamy soils with a cover crop of lawn grass. Closer line and/or emitter spacing of 12
inches is used on heavy clay soils or very coarse sands where lateral movement of water is restricted.
Using closer spacing should not reduce the size of the field.
5. SOIL LAYERS AND TYPES
The shallow depth of installation is an advantage of the subsurface dripfield since the topsoil or
surface soil is generally the most biologically active and 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 difficult to obtain
uniform water spread. In many cases, particularly if the soil is compacted, soil properties can be
greatly improved by ripping and disking.
6. ADDING FILL TO THE DISPERSAL FIELD
Some dispersal sites require additional soil be brought in for agronomic reasons or to increase
separation 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
treatment. Dispersal however still occurs in the natural soil and the field size must be based on the
hydraulic 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
removed or it must be incorporated into the natural soil to prevent an organic layer from forming and
restricting downward water movement.
The fill material should be applied in shallow layers with the fast 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.
It is generally agreed that fill should not be used on slopes greater than 20%.
7. HIGH POINTS, SIPHONING AND SLOPES
A potential problem with buried drip fines is siphoning dirt into the emitters when the pump is
switched off. For this reason:
a. Drip lines should have a fairly constant slope. Run dripline along a contour.
b. At least one vacuum breaker should be installed at the highest point in each zone.
c. Avoid installing lines along rolling hills where you have high and low points along the
same line. If this is the case, connect all the high points together and install a vacuum
breaker on the connecting line. (See (3eoflow detail 602).
d. Drip lines should be connected at the end to a common return line with a flush valve.

8. EXCESSIVE ELEVATION DIFFERENCES
WASTEFLOW Classic If the level variation within a WASTEFLOW Classic zone exceeds six
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.
At the end of each dosing cycle, water in the dripline will flow down to the bottom lines within the
drip zone. This is called `towhead drainage". On a slope site Geoflow recommends installing short
manifolds with fewer lines and longer dripline runs. If unsure, a maximum of 1500 ft of Geoflow
dripline within each zone or sub -zone can be used as a rule of thumb. Do not exceed 5 lines in a
single zone or sub -zone with a slope greater than 10%. Be sure to open valves fully so manifolds
drain rapidly.

9. HILLY 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.
10. MULTIPLE ZONES
Drip dispersal fields can be divided into multiple zones or subzones with solenoid valves or index
valves for the following reasons:
a. Steep slopes with a risk of lowhead drainage can be subdivided to distribute the water
at system shut -down more uniformly in the field.
b. Smaller zones reduce the required flow per minute which consequently reduces the
size of the pump5, valves, filters, supply and return lines.
c. Subdividing the field is a tool used to achieve the optimum ranges required to
efficiently operate the Vortex filters.
d. If the dispersal field is located in multiple areas on the property.
e. To accommodate varying soils or vegetation on a single site.
Note. On multiple zones, a single Wasteflow Headworks can be used for filtration and flushing by
placing zone valves downstream of the Headworks box. All zones would require a check valve on the
individual flush lines upstream of each line joining a common flush line to keep flush water from
one zone entering any other zone during the flush cycle. (See Geoflow Design Detail No. 588)
If the effluent has not been through secondary treatment, then each zone should have a dedicated
filter or Wasteflow Headworks.

11. 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 season. This calculates to be about 0.16 to 0.22 gaUft2/day.
By over -seeding lawns with winter ryegrass, this use efficiency can be continued through much of
the year. For vegetation using 0.16 to 0.22 gaUft2/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.
12. WATER APPLICATION FORMULA
To determine the rate of application for various drip irrigation designs, use the following formula:
Water application (inches per hour) _ (231 x (emitter flow rate gph)) / ((Emitter spacing inches) x
(dripline spacing inches))
Example: Dripline with 1.3 gph flow rate emitters spaced 24"apart and dripline spaced 24"apart.
Water application = (231x1.3)/(24x24) = 0.52 inches of water per hour.

2. WINTERIZATION
Buried drip systems are not prone to frost damage because, in their design, vacuum release and drain
valves are provided. The dripline itself is made of polyethylene and not susceptible to freezing. It
drains through the emitters so will not be full of water after pumps are turned off. Please follow these
precautions:
a) Manifolds, supply lines and return lines must be sloped back to their respective dosing or
treatment tanks. These lines need to drain rapidly. Under extreme conditions return and supply
manifolds must 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.
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) In severe freezing conditions, use heat tape or small heater in the Headworks box.
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 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 rapid drainage of the flush line in freezing conditions.
i) Fields dosed with relatively small quantities of effluent are more likely to freeze than those
dosed with design quantities. If winter use is less than summer use, then only use proportional
number of fields to maintain water application rates in the field being dosed.
R/

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 >
30 mg/1 automation of maintenance is essential. For smaller systems with a BOD < 30 mg/1
inspection and maintenance should be performed every six months.
ROUTINE AND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
I) 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 the
filter cartridge in a chlorine bath - a mixture of 50% bleach and 50% water.
2) Open the field flush valve and flush the field for 3-5 minutes by activating the pump in
"manual" position. Close the flush valve. On automatic solenoid valves the manual bleed lever
should always be in the horizontal position and the dial on top should be free spinning.
Clockwise rotation closes valve
3) With the pump in the "manual' position, check the pressure in the drip field by using a
pressure gauge on the schraeder valve located on the air vents and by reading the pressure
gauge located in the Wasteflow Headworks box. The pressure should be the same as shown on
the initial installation records. On systems with manual flush valves, close the field flush valve
completely and then open the valve slightly until there is a 1-2 psi drop or design pressure is
reached. This will allow the field to drain after each dose to prevent the manifold lines from
freezing.
4) Remove the lids on the vacuum breaker and check for proper operation. If water is seen
leaking from the top of the vacuum breaker, remove the cap of the vacuum breaker and press
down on the ball to allow any debris to be flushed out. Be careful not to come in contact with
the effluent.
5) Turn off the pump and reset the controller for auto mode.
6) Periodically remove and clean the air vents, field flush and filter flush valves.
7) Visually check and report the condition of the drip field, including any noticeable wetness.
8) Treatment and distribution tanks are to be inspected routinely and maintained when necessary
in accordance with their approvals.
9) Record the elapsed time meter, pump counter, override counter, high-level alarm and power
failures. This information can be obtained from the controller.

VORTEX FILTERS
Description
The filters are placed between the pump and
dripfield to screen out any debris.
Body - TWo-piece threaded housing with 0-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 3/4" flush outlet at the base of
the Vortex Filter.
To stay clean, two criteria must be met:
a. Flow into the filter must be within the specified
range to produce a 5 to 8 psi pressure
differential across the filter.
b. The filter flush valve must be partially to fully
open allowing debris to flush away.

GEO CONTROLLERS
Geo controllers are the brain in the system, utilizing a programmable logic controller (PLC) to activate
the pumps cycles, zone valves and flush valves when needed. See the table below for the control panel
that fits your application.
All Goo controllers have the following built-in log functions:
- Elapsed time meter (ETM)
- Pump events
Peak timer events
- High level alarm events
- Power failure events
Note: ETM and pump events are recorded whenever contactor is energized.
Float Functions GEO Controllers
Floats Functions
High Level Alarm Float
Float raised - Alarm enable.

GE01 MANUAL CONTROLLERS
The Primary Timer (float 2-activated) controls the pump dose cycle during normal operating
conditions. During high flow conditions the pump dosing cycles will be controlled by the Peak
Timer (float 3 - activated). The Peak Timer off is typically set to trigger more frequent flow than the
Primary Timer off setting.
If duplex pump option is chosen, the pumps are alternated every pump cycle and never operate
simultaneously. There is a selection switch for pump 1, pump 2 or alternation. This allows one pump
to be taken out of service for maintenance without affecting the operation of the system.
Pump dosing cycles are controlled by the timers when the H-O-A switch is in the auto position.
Under normal conditions the Primary Timer (float 2) will control the pump(s). During high flow
conditions, the Peak Timer (float 3) will control the pump(s). The Peak Timer will cycle the pump
more frequently than the Primary Timer (field adjustable). The pump will dose for the same amount
of time as it does when operated by the Primary Timer but the time in between doses, or the Peak
timer `Off time", will be 75% of that of the Primary Timer "off time". Factory settings (field
adjustable) are 1 hr 55 minutes off and 5 minutes on for Primary Timer and Peak Timer is set to 1 hr
25 minutes off (I hr 55 mins x 75%) and 5 minutes on. Consequently peak doses are more frequent
than normal
Hydraulically activated zone valve(s) will index each time the PLC calls for a dose. Each time the
pump is called for another zone is dosed. The controller does not dose all zones sequentially as
"one" dose and ignores the fact that there are multiple zones for the purpose of dosing. For example
if the Primary Timer is programmed to be off for 1 hour, on for 5 minutes and there are four zones,
each zone will get 6 doses - five minutes in length - in a 24-hour period. The controller will dose a
single zone every hour and will not dose all zones every hour.
GEO AUTOMATIC CONTROLLERS
The Primary Timer (float 2 activated) controls the pump dose cycle during normal operating
conditions. During high flow conditions the pump dosing cycles will be controlled by the Peak
Timer (float 3 activated).
If duplex pump option is chosen, the pumps are alternated every pump cycle and never operate
simultaneously. There is a selection switch for pump 1, pump 2 or alternation. This allows one pump
to be taken out of service for maintenance without affecting the operation of the system. The Vortex
Filter flush valve will open for 15 seconds (field adjustable) at the end of the pump cycle to allow
the filter to self -flush. When the vortex filter flush is complete, the filter flush valve will close and
the system drain function will begin.
Pump dosing cycles are controlled by the timers when the H-O-A switch is in the auto position.
Under normal conditions the Primary Timer (float 2) will control the pump. During high flow
conditions, the Peak Timer (float 3) will control the pump. The Peak Timer will cycle the pump
more frequently than the Primary Timer. The pump will dose for the same amount of time as it does
when operated by the Primary Timer but the time in between doses, or the Peak Timer "off time",
will be 75% that of the Primary Timer "off time". Factory settings (field adjustable) are 1 hr 55
minutes off and 5 minutes on for Primary Timer and Peak Timer is set to 1 hr 25 minutes off (I fir
55 mins x 75%) and 5 minutes on.
Zone valve(s) will open when the PLC calls for a dose or flush. These can be electrically operated
solenoid valves (requires GE04 or GE08) or hydraulically activated index valves (used with
GE01). Each time the pump is called for another zone is dosed. The controller does not dose all
zones sequentially as "one" dose but rather ignores the fact that there are multiple zones for the
purpose of dosing. The total doses of all zones in a 24-hour period must be considered when setting
the "off' timer(s). After the pump is deactivated the electrically activated solenoid flush valve will
remain open for five minutes (field adjustable) to allow for drainage of the supply line and return
line.
If hydraulically activated index valve is used, be sure to drain the supply line in freezing climates.
C
E
C
o

If hydraulically activated index valves are used in combination with a solenoid field flush valve, a
field setting for number of zones and number of zone valves is available.
Field flush valve will open at the end of the dosing cycle. The pump will continue to run for 5
seconds (field adjustable) to accommodate the opening of this valve. After the pump is deactivated
the field flush valve will remain open for five minutes (field adjustable) to allow for drainage of the
return line in freezing conditions. It is best to clock the length of time it takes the return flush line
Gto drain and use this to set your drain time.
The activated zone valve remains open at the end of the dose for same " # " minutes as return flush
Eand filter flush valves to accommodate drainage of supply line.
To periodically flush the dripfield, after 10 dosing cycles (field adjustable) the pump will operate for
5 minutes (field adjustable) with the field flush valve open. The field flush cycle will repeat until all
zones have been flushed. This operation will also occur after a power outage. This is achieved by
correctly inputting number of zone valves (if applicable) and number of zones during setting of the
controller values.

HOMEOWNER'S OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
This infolrination is provided only to insure that the homeowner has general knowledge of the wastewater Systein
installedpn this site. It in no way implies that the homeowner should take on responsibility of operation and maintenance of the system. Thus system does require a certified operator properly licensed by the state and also
approved by the manufacturer of the system. It should be understood that the homeowner assumes full
responsilility for conditions or malfunctions caused by the manual operation of the system by anyone other than a
certified pperalor or the manufacturers representative.
Since all'processes in this sewage disposal system use biological activity to treat the wastewater, only typical
biodegradable household wastes are to be disposed of in drains leading to the septic tank. Never dispose of
pesticides, oil or grease based products, cigarettes, eggshells, or any other non -biodegradable solids (especially
feminine hygiene products) into the system. Minimize disposal of high strength over-the-counter type products such
as bleach, prescription dings, antibiotics, concentrated aimnonia based cleaners, blood, bones, dairy or fruit
products. All wastewater disposal systems should be treated with proper care and maintenance to insure long-term
performance.
The maintenance schedule enclosed in this document is provided to help the homeowner understand the system and
recognize the need for timely inspection. Please be reminded that maintenance is to be performed by a certified
operator and repairs by individual's skilled a the particular item of work.

DRIP DISPOSAL
Operating Regime
Three (3) mercury float switches shall be located in the pump tank: wide angle low water off/dose enable float, timer
override float, and high water alarm float. The microprocessor that controls pump, dosing, filter back -washing as
system flush operation will be programmed to commence field dosing at 180 minute intervals. This will achieve 8
does to the total application field in a 24-hour period. The amount of flow to the zones will slightly vary depending
upon the length of the dripper line in eacli zone. The length of line is designed to apply effluent without exceeding
the daily maximum application rate recommended by the Soil Scientist. Inflow into the pump tank will cause the
water level to activate the dose enable float switch allowing the pumping cycle to begin upon reaching the next
designated dosing episode.
Pumped field irrigation flow shall pass through a flow meter that will record flow volumes in gallons. Dosing
volume per cycle will be based on gallons passed through the meter or by timed basis, for the estimated average
flow which is less than 600 gpd.
If the "timer override level" float switch is activated, the system will begin its operation of delivering short pre-
determined dose volumes to the field zones, in sequence, and will return to normal status once the level has dropped
below the "override condition".
The microprocessor will also control the periodic backwashing of the vortex filter (100 micron) and the flushing
operation of the various field zones. Filter backwashing shall occur at the beginning of each does cycle. Filter will
also backwash after every power outage. System lateral flushing shall occur when the microprocessor senses
recognition of a pre-set number of dosing cycles (usually once a week). The system shall be configured to allow for
manual initiation of backwashing filters, field zone dosing or flushing. Lateral flushin
outage. g will also occur after power
The main pump control panel shall be a NEMA 4x enclosure.
Rain Sensor/Emergency Storage
The wastewater application system shall have installed a rain sensor such as the DPS-100 by Water Watcher, or
equal. The sensor shall be capable of measuring rainfall to the extent it will automatically shut down tine system
during periods of excessive rainfall. The sensor shall also have the capability of allowing tine system to continue
normal irrigation cycle once the rain sensor recognizes it is dry enough to continue normal dosing. In conjunction
with -the -rein -sensor, -the -wastewater system shall have -aaninimum-of-five. days -tank storageforthepurpose of
allowing the application fields to dry. The field dosing pump lank is to have an alarm system that will automatically
activate when excess effluent accumulates in the tank. The Owner shall be adequately familiar with the system in
order for him/her to recognize the reason for a shutdown situation caused by excess rainfall.

II. Control Lights and Manual Switch Positions
I. Open the control panel and open the lid to the headwork's unit.
2, Make sure all manual switches are in the automatic position.
3. Microprocessor on; power light and run light
4. Microprocessor input, see owner's manual table
5. Microprocessor output; only when in operation
III. Pump Tank Liquid Level
Check liquid level in pump tank to confirm switch operation. If a float is down, it's light should
be off.
IV. Pump and Valve Operation
1. Place pump "Hand -Off -Auto" switch in the "Hand" position to dead head pump against valves.
The flow meter should not turn, and there should be no leaks.
2. With the pump running, place each zone valve in the "hand" (open) position one at a time to check
operation. With the zone valve open, flow should register on the flow meter. When the zone
valve closes (off position), the flow should stop.
3. With the pump "hand" position open the filter backwash valve for 10 seconds then close. There
should be no flow registering in the flow meter and you should hear the valves open and close.
4. Return all switch to the automatic position.
V. Extended Check —Zone Dose Rates
1. Open the air release valve boxes and inspect. Make sure they close during dose (they should not
leak water after air is evacuated).
2. Determine how many zones are in operation and (lie set-up flow rates from the installation records.
3. With the pump in the "Hand" position, select the first zone by placing the zone valve switch in the
"Hand" position. After pressurization time, check flow rate by reading the flow meter for a timed
minute. Repeat for all zones. If flow varies by more than 10% from the original flow rate,
investigate further to find and correct the problem.
4. After the final zone is checked, place the "Zone Return" valve in the "Hand" position and verify
that the flow rate increased to provide field flushing.
5. Return all switches to automatic position.

OWNER'S MANUAL
GEOFLOW DRIP IRRIGATION
WASTEWATER DISPOSAL SYSTEM
When and How to use the manual
This owner's manual should be read cover to cover initially, and then as needed to answer any questions or assist tine
owner in fulfilling their maintenance and inspection responsibilities. This manual has been developed for the
specific site and application and should be used as a guide for proper operation and maintenance of the system.
When and Where to call for nssistance or get additional information
If at any time you have a question about the system or observe any alarm or unusual condition, you should call your
qualified service representative or installing contractor as soon as possible. The owner should record in the back of
this manual, the contact name and telephone number of the certified operator and the installing contractor.
Overview of Manual
The manual is organized to cover safety precautions and warnings, and is an overview of the system components
and the owner's responsibility.
Safety Precautions and Warnings
The owner or operator of the system should take precautions consistent with operators working with sewage and
electricity when working with or around any of the system components.
Electrical Hazards
The system incorporates pump(s), float switches, relays and may electrical components that use 230 volts, 120 volts,
or 24 volts AC. Improper use of equipment can cause an electrical shock and may lead to serious injury or death.
Sewage Hazards
Proper attention should be given to cleanup when working in and around the septic and pump tanks and wastewater
handling equipment to insure that disease causing bacteria are not transmitted to persons or contact surfaces. The
septic and pump tanks can allow for a toxic buildup of poisonous gasses that can lead to serious injury or death if
inhaled.
Heave Lifting Hazards
The owner and/or operator should exercise proper caution when lifting heavy system components. Improper lifting
-of-heavy components-can.lead to loss of limb and/or mobility. .
Overview of Drip Disposal
The system is a unique fluid handling system for dispersal of secondary effluent wastewater in soil systems. The
system incorporates filtration, time and level controlled application, and low rate drip distribution. In conditions
where land application with the use of conventional soil absorption fields are not acceptable, this system offers a
unique method for surface distribution of the wastewater effluent.
The system will receive secondary standard effluent from a pre-treatment unit called Advantex. It is an aerobic and
biological process giving a high degree of treatment to the wastewater. The incoming wastewater is trickled through
a filtering textile media where microbials colonize and ingest the contaminants producing the high quality effluent.
This provides the soil with an almost odorless clear liquid that is easily disposed of.
Since the installation of the field distribution lines causes very little soil disturbance and effluent discharge volume
from each emitter hole is insignificant, the installation of the system has very little site impact. After installation

there are virtually no visible indications that the installation site is being used for disposal purposes. This'system is
especially suited for heavily wooded areas for both commercial and residential subdivisions.
The system is operated by a controller that is activated by level sensing devises (standard mechanical differential
float switches) located in a dosing tank downstream from the pre-treatment process. When activated by the rising
level of effluent in the dosing tank, the controller will enable the disposal cycle, and as dictated by the time clock,
pump the effluent through a 100 micron screen filter and then to final drip dispersal.
The pump control panel is equipped for three float switches to control the limed doses to be discharged. The float
switches, "Low Water Off/Dose Enable", "Timer Override" and "High Level Alarm" function as follows.
"Low Water Off/Dose Enable" — The water level must be high enough to overcome the (first & bottom)
float in order for the pump to be permitted to run in the automatic mode. When the water level rises high
enough t overcome the float and the time clock has timed out the preset time delay the pump will activate
and the lead zone is dosed. The pump will continue to mn for (lie length of time as adjusted on the pump
run timer and then shut off. The pump will remain off until the internal time clock again times out the
preset time delay, after which the pump will activate (as long as the "Dose Enable" float is still up) and will
run until the pump run timer finishes it's timed dose, This process will repeat until either the water level
drops to the "Low Water" level or the pump tun timer has timed out.
"Timer Override" — If the water level rises to overcome the "Tinier Override' float, the microprocessor
starts the "override" mode of operation. It will send short doses of effluent (field programmable) to each
zone until the "override" condition has been corrected and the water level has dropped below the "Timer
Override" float. This is helpful when extraordinary conditions occur such as unusually high wastewater
flows during holiday periods or large entertainment activities.
"High Level Alarm" — If the water level rises enough to overcome [lie "High Level" float, the audio/visual
alarm will activate. The audio portion of the alarm may be silenced by pressing the Test -Normal -Silence
switch (located on the outside of the control panel) to the Silence position. The alarm circuit will latch
until manually reset after die "High Level" float returns to its normal (down) position. The alarm circuit is
manually reset by switching the High level Reset/Off-Normal switch (located inside the control panel on the
inner door) to die Reset position then back to normal.
Drip Tubing
The drip field supply line conveys the effluent to the drip absorption zone that is being dosed where it is discharged
to the soil through a patented chemical -resisting pressure compensating self flushing "drip" emitter. The emitters or
"drippers" are located every two feet in the tubing and emit 0.53 gallons per hour per emitter. The dripper lines are
automatically scoured (forward flushed) approximately one a week. This function is activated by the controller that
opens the field flush valve, thus allowing the flushed effluent to be reiuined fo the septic tank. The duration on flush
cycle is determined by the volume of effluent in the supply, drip tubing and return. lines. The duration time is
calculated but also can be field programmable if it is determined that each zone needs to be flushed longer. The
flushing cycle produces a high velocity cleansing/scouring action by the effluent along the inside walls of (lie
dripper tubing, PVC manifolds and emitters.
The construction of the drip tubing is unique in that the intemal diaphragm construction provides for an exact
amount of effluent to be discharged from each of its emitters which are spaced at two feet intervals along the entire
length of the drip tubing. Each emitter maintains a constant flow over pressure ranges of 7 up to 60 psi. Because
the effluent is distributed over large area during controlled periods of time without saturating the surrounding soil.
The Geoflow brand drip tubing is coated on the inside with a bactericide, Ultra Fresh DM-50, to inhibit bacterial
growth on the walls of the tube and in the emitter, eliminating the need to scour the dripline with velocities
exceeding turbulent flow. Each emitter has ROOTGAURD protection, a patented process that prevents roots from
entering the emitters. The active ingredient, Treflan, is impregnated into die emitter during the molding process to
direct root growtli away from the emitter and it is non -toxic.

Air Release Valves
The drip Geld return line conveys the effluent from the drip absorption zone (used to "flush" or the clean tubing)
back to the septic tank. Each zone will have an air release valve housed in a small valve box at the highest point of
the return manifold pipe in each zone. The valve will close when the water pressure arrives at [lie valve during each
dose. The air release valve allows air to reenter the tubing after each dose to allow the tubing to drain. This also
prevents the uphill tubing from draining water into the downhill tubing and overloading downhill tubing.
In the event of damage to the air release valve, effluent may leak from the system. This condition should be fixed
immediately by replacing damaged parts. Air release valves should not be covered with soil or other material and
should always be accessible to the service personnel.
Controller
The controller is enclosed in an outdoor electrical control box located near and connected to the pump, the float
switches, and the electronic valves of the system. The control panel uses •230 volt power and the microprocessor has
120 V and 24 V AC inputs and relay outputs for automatic operation of the system. When in the "Hand" or "Off,
position, the manual switches (Hand -Off -Auto) on the door of the control panel, completely bypass the
microprocessor. The "Iiand" position will allow manual operation of the entire system in the event of a
microprocessor failure or during service interval. NOTE: THE HOMEOWNER ASSUMES FULL
RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONDITIONS OR MALFUNCTIONS DUE TO MANUAL OPERATION OF THE
SYSTEM BY ANYONE OTHER THAN A QUALIFIED SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. LEAVING THE
PUMP CONTOL IN THE "HAND" POSITION WILL FORCE THE PUMP TO RUN CONTINUOUSLY AND
MAY RESULT IN PUMP FAILURE.

The submersible pump delivers pre-treated, secondary quality effluent to a final 150 mesh (100 micron) vortex
screen filter. The filter flushing schedule is triggered at the beginning of each dose cycle, The accumulated
impurities discharge back into the septic tank. The flush procedure lasts approximately thirty seconds (field
programmable) then the flushing valve closes. Effluent will then be pumped through the vortex filter, then through
the flow rrieteF and -finally through the outlet manifold to the drlp'fleld zone supply lines.
OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY
Preventive Maintenance
The drip field area should not be used for any other purpose. Under no conditions are any structures, automobiles,
or heavy machinery to be allowed on the side.
In order to prevent erosion, the site should be established and maintained as a healthy lawn, or if wooded, the site
should be mulched and stabilized. Erosion of the site and the adjacent areas should be controlled and eliminated.
Surface water flows must be diverted away from all components of the system.
Scheduled htspections
The drip field should be walked and inspected at least once a month for the first twelve months of operation. After
twelve months of operation withourshowing symptoms of failure, the drip Field should be walked and inspected

quarterly. Symptoms to look for on the walk through inspection are patches of wetness. If symptoms are identified
notify your certified operator immediately.
The tanks, pre-treatment system, and all controls should be inspected according to the "Maintenace Schedule" by a
certified operator. The septic tank should be pumped when the sludge level reaches 1/3 the liquid level of the septic
lank.
Alarms —Notifying Certified Operator of Alarms/Events
The system contoller is equipped with an audible/visual alarm to warn of a high water level condition. The high
level alarm may be silenced by pressing the "silence" button on the side of the control panel. Since a high water
level condition can be caused by pump failure, excessive infiltration, or an unusually large peak flow, the owner
Should call the system operator to determine the cause of the alarm prior to requesting service.
If at any time there are any indications of failure such as wetness in the drip field area or the tank area, notify your
system operator immediately.
Monitor & Regulate Waste Input to Septic Tanks
Since all processes in this sewage disposal system use biological activity to treat the wastewater, only typical
biodegradable household wastes are to be disposed of in drains leading to the septic tank. Never dispose of
pesticides, oil or grease based products, cigarettes, eggshells or any other non -biodegradable solids (especially
feminine hygiene products) into the system. Minimize disposal of high strength over-the-counter type products such
as bleach, and don't use colored toilet (issue. All wastewater disposal systems should be treated with proper care
and maintenance to insure long-term performance.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
The system controller monitors the liquid level in the pump tank. In the event of high-level alarm or peak dose
enable condition, an alarm will sound. Contact the system operator.
The owner understands that as a condition of any warranties, the manufacturer may monitor the system during the
warranty period for flow, peak dose enable conditions, high-level alarm conditions, and other mechanical functions
that result in a high level alarm.
The owner shall provide to the system operator such access to llme property and system as is reasonably necessary to
comply with the terms of this agreement. As soon as an alarm condition occurs, the owner shall notify the system
operator which condition occurred, the nature of the condition, and where the system is located. The owner
understands and will hold the installer, the operator, and manufacturers harmless for alarm conditions and other
events beyond their control. The installer, system operator, or distributor shallnot be responsible for damages
caused by any type of system failure or for soil suitability, damage due to construction, use, acts of God, or other
events. Note: In the event of a power, pump, or other mechanical failure, the system should be designed to provide
at least an additional 5 days of storage capacity.

two 1" NPT male end connections. The filter screen shall be of sintered stainless steel (sintering is a method of
transforming three pieces of stainless steel into one). The final mesh size is 150 or 100 microns. The screen collars
are molded from vinyl for long life and durability. The spin plate is molded of PVC or fiberglass. 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''/," flush outlet at the base of the vortex filter.
DRIPPER TUBING
The dripper tubing shall be Geoflow's "Wasteflow PC" pressure compensating dripper line for wastewater. The
tubing shall have nominal discharge rates of 0.53 gallons per hour from a pressure range of 7 to 60 psi. The tubing
shall be'F," linear low -density polyethylene, with turbulent flow, and drip emitters bonded to the inside wall. The
inside layer of the tubing shall be a bactericide protection (Ultra -Fresh DM 50, tin -based formula) and the emitters

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 AdvanTexm Treatment System and its compo-
nents to be one of the most trouble -free and serv-
ice -friendly residential treatment systems on the
marker. We've -also provided this O&M Manual,
In it, you'll find valuable information about ...
• The AdvanTex® System's configuration and
treatmentprocess
• 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
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-
tcm user to review the'Harneotoner'r Manual that
comes with the system, especially the "Do's and
Don'ts." This will educate the user on preventive
maintenance and on the operating and mainte-
nance responsibilities of system users and author-
ized personnel, as well as service=related obliga=
tions of the manufacturer, Meeting periodically
with the user will also allow you to track any sig-
nificant changes in the household (e.g., number
of occupants, changes in water use, use of deter-
gents, disposal of cleaning compounds, etc.).
We're very proud of the AdvanTexm Treatment
System. Like all our products, it has gone through
extensive research, development, and field-testing,
Then each component is built to written specifi-
cations and subjected to quality review, before
shipping. In addition, our AXN models meet the
requirements ofANSI-NSF Standard 40 for

Treatment Process and Performance
Expectations: Processing Tank
Processing Tank
The processing tank provides primary wastewater
treatment. The tank is an enclosed, watertight
receptacle designed to collect wastewater; segre-
gate settleable and floatab'le 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 -Bose type of reactor
(fluid and particles enter and exit the tank in pro-
gressivc sequence). Wastewater separates into three
distinct layers: a floating scam 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
Flitted effluent is dosed to the next step in the
treatment process ... the AdvanTexe Textile
Filter.
Because the AdvanTexe Treatment System oper-
ates in the recirculating mode, the filtrate from
the Textile Filter returns to the processing rank in
one of two ways: to the bath (outlet end) of the
tank in Mode I 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 ocher condi-
tions inside the tank:
• strength and characteristics of incoming waste

Trec-#ment Process and Performance
Exp6ctations: AdvanTexo Textile Filter
Adva4exo Textile Filter
The AdvanTexm textile filter provides secondary
wastewater treatment, The filter is a sturdy,
watertight fiberglass basin filled with an engi-
neered te>ltile material. This lightweight, highly
absorbem textile material treats a tremendous
amount of wastewater in a small space.
The AdvanTeX`e 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 (fpr free -flow of oxygen) and greater
water-holOing capacity,
Wastewater percolates both through ai dbetween-
the textile; media. A visible biological film nor-
mally develops on the filter medium within a few
days. BOPS 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,
chat resulr 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
(denitrificarion). Harmless nitrogen gas is the,,
released freely back into the armosphore. The
RX Series
acclimation period for nitrification may range
from four to eight weeks, or longer in colder cli-
mates.
AdvanTexO 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

Routine Cleaning & Maintenance Procedures
Orenco Systemso requires regular inspection and
maintenance ofAdvanTex°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, Fo.rAXN systems,
there is to be a minimum of four inspections
during the first two years, and theft 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 AdvanTexo Treatment System
warranty.
Copies of inspection and maintenance reports,
along with any additional documentation, must
be forwarded to and retained by the Authorized
AdvanTee Treatment System Dealer who sold
the system. If there is no Dealer, then the docu-
mentation must be forwarded to Orenco

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
matte sure the pump rusts. Then switch back to
Automatic and continue io 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

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.
Talce the sample at the RSV inlet, (Don't run the
pump manually to force a quicksample Take the
ample during normal system operation )
Sampling Schedule — Typicallyschedule full-
scale annual sampling events for spring.
Sampling and Storage Methods — Sampling
equipment, minimum sample size, and storage
procedures should conform to those recornmend-
ed-in-the-most current edition of Standard
Methods for the Examination of Water and
Wartewaten American Public Health Association
(APHA), available from the Water Environment

Routine Tests, Frequencies,
and Typical Values
While regional requirements vary, C renco recom-
mends that the following effluent tests be per-
formed three -to -six months after system steer -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 die first two years, and then annual inspec-
tions with sampling thereafter.
These tests can be performed in the field; they
cost very little and do not require lab work.
However, they are very useful in assessing system
performance and maintenance.

Troubleshooting Effluent Quality Use a DO meter or Colorimetric Kit
If your effluent samples are cloudy and color/ Note filtrate DO levels that are
turbidity is > 15 units, do the following; <2,5 or >6 mg/L
o Perform BODs andTSS tests
• Check to ensure the retire ratio isnt too high
or the pump dose time isrA 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)
Filtrate DO that's <2.5 mg/L indicates insu&
cient oxygen. If the filtrate DO is <2.5 mg/L:
Check Fitter surface for evidence of clogging
• Check to ensure the pump is working
r Check to ensure the ventilation fan assembly
is working (RX only)
r Check toensure the retire ratio isn't too low;
increase if too levy
• Check to ensure influent strength isn't too high
(see AdvanTexo Design Criteria)
r Check to ensure hydraulic retention time isn't
too high
Filtrate DO that's >6 mg/L indicates excessive
aeration. If the filtrate DO is >6 mg/L:
Check to ensure retire ratio isrA too high

• Check or below normal influent flows
• Check influent Grease & Oil and TSS; if
excessi e, a review of component sizes may

Troubleshooting Oily Film
All signs of oil or grease anywhere in the system
(in the t nk, in the vault, on the effluent or tex-
tile filter must be investigated. Ask the system
user to i entify the probable source:
i
• Recenchange of car oil?
• Canning meat or poultry?
t
• Excesle'!use of garbage disposal?
• a use of bath or mineral oils?
o tub?)
• Excessive use of detergents?
If the system user cant identify the probable
source, try die 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 AdvanTee
Filter
• Note if biomat is yellowish and waxlike or
lard -like
• If so, scrape biomat sample for analysis
• Photograph/document biomat sample
• Send to lab with eftluenrsamples
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), Iffoam is present.
• Verify the pump isn't running too long
• Ensure the recirc ratio isnrtoo high
• Ask residents about detergent use

AU VANTEXo
®&iVi 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 AdvanTexo 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 chat 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 tut shows levels) .
• pH of 6-8
• Filtrate DO level of 2.5-8 mg/L; Process tank
DO level of <1 mg/L
• Adequate time for the nitrifying bacteria to
develop (one to three months)
• Adequate temperature (below 400 F retards
the process)
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-looldng biomat on the textile filter
(light -brown to dark -brown and gelatinous in
texture)
Additional Filtrate Tests
Will Show...
• Typically, low BOD, 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 chat 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 alkalinitydetermines the degree of
nitrification possible for any wastewater treatment
system, because it takes 7.14 parts alkalinity to
nitrify P part ammonia.

If a large lquanciry of nitrification is required, it
may be necessary to add a buffering compound
to the system, to raise alkalinity levels.
FiltratelpH Too Low
A pH levbl of <6 retards microbial activity of all
kinds, including denitrification. If the filtrate pH
level is to,f low:
• Check influent alkalinity level (pH drops when
too much available alkalinity is consumed)
• Check 'retire ratios; reduce if too high`
• Ask sysf em user about chemical discharges into
the systkm, including carpet cleaners, chlorine,
and phlto developing agents
DO Levels Outside 2.5-6 mg/L

If your filtrate DO is too low (indicating insuffi-
cient o en), you may experience periodic sul-

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 AdvanTexomodes are config-
ured to produce lower nitrate levels. If it appears
that nitrification is dropping off;
Check the retire ratio; adjust as necessary"
(high retire ratios may drive pH too low for
effective nitrification/denitrifrcation and low
retire ratios may not provide sufficient
aeration)
• Verify incoming ammonia levels
• Check retire/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 AdvanTee
Treatment System has been installed in a very
cold climate, nitrification may not "lick in" for
several months until warmer temperatures are
reached. Typically, a June -September installation
provides die necessary temperatures for a 30-60
day nitrification start-up time. Once nittifiers
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 reciro ratio chats too high can generate a highly aerobic biomat growth at the pump fiber,- and

Appendix: The Nitrogen Reduction Process
and Key Indicators
The Process
Nitrogen removal (or "nitrification/denitrifica-
tion') is a biochemical process in which ammo-
nia is converted to nitrate (nitrification) (2NHr
converts to 2NO3 + 3Hr0) 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. Consequetidy, the nitrifica-
tion process usually lags until the organic concen-
tration is depleted or until sufficient oxygen is
present. At a 2.5:1 BODITKN ratio, the nitri-
fiers may only make up about 10 percent of the
microbial population. At 0.5!1 BOD/TKN, the
nirrifiers make up about 35 percent of the popu-
lation.
In a filtering process, the Filter column must be
deep enough, or the filter media must be efficient
enough at filtering organic particles, to deplete
organic concentrations to a level in which a suffi-
cient population of nitrifiers will be sustained.
The physical (dimensional) features of the filter
will vary depending on the medics characteristics
— void ratio, moisture holding capacity. and
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 NTUsi) 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 retire ratios can be gauged, cleaning
frequencies can be predicted, and nonvisible
clogging or saturation detected by watching
either of these constituents.
BOD
The nitrification process requires oxygen,
which is why nitrification is enhanced when
BOD is extremely low. Measures of filtrate
BOD should be <15 mg/L, although higher
BOD may not necessarily correlate with low
levels of nitrification.
Dissolved Oxygen
Dissolved oxygen also provides critical informa-
tion with which to diagnose how well a system
is performing. Measures of Dissolved Oxygen
should be in the range of 2.5 to 6 mg/L. If the

,6t .'.. .
DO level drops, the degree of nitrification will
normally drop as well, which could be a sign
Of blindi4 or saturated flow conditions — any-
thing tharimight inhibit free air from flowing
into the system. (Though its quite possible to
have low Qltrate DOs and still have high effluent
quality, as !measured by BOD and TSS levels.)
i
Biological Growth on Filter
With "fixed fill' treatment systems, biological
growth on! the filter media is natural. The biomat
should ap¢ear light -brown to dark -brown in
color and gelatinous in texture.
Influent 4haracterlstles
Influent characteristics will greatly affect the
amount of nitrogen reduction that is possible
i
from any wastewater treatment system.
Of. For nI anal residential nitrogen loads,
pH rypical�y 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 ca ` cd by the release of hydrogen ions).
Consequently, if the degree of nitrification is less
than expe' ed, it could simply be that there isrft
sufficient alkalinity to support more. Typical resi-
dential nitrification requires alkalinity above 250t
mg/L for recirculating processes and double that
for single I{ass processes. Many wastewater terrains
do not have sufficient alkalinity to rapport complete
nitrsfrcatioih.
Wastewatel streams without sufficient alkalinity
to support complete nitrification may, depending
on the typ� of process, cause a depletion in the
alkalinity � the point where the pH correspond-
ingly drop} to a level that causes the microbial
activity to (degrade (<6m). Recirculating the efflu-
ent helps, since half the alkalinity can be restored
in the recilc or process tank, wherever denitrifrca-
tion occur.({ (and adjusting the retire ratios may
also bring the pH back to preferred operating
levels). But wastewater streams that are alkalinity -
starved car}'t provide for 100% nitrification.
The use otlow 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 -
men[ 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.

SYSlI,EM INSTALLATION
1. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
All Geoflow drip systems require:
100 mScron / 150 mesh filter
Filter illush valve
Field flush valve and
Air veist in each zone
All W�steflow Classic drip systems require pressure regulation
Handll your dripline and components with care. ROOTGUARDei is temperature sensitive. 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 buriad an extra two or three inches below the soil surface, to avoid the warm temperature
extremes.
a) All dripfield construction shall be done in accordance with Local rules and regulations.
b) No. utilities, cable wire, drain tile, etc shall be located in dripfield.
c) Fence off entire dripfield prior to any construction.
d) System is not to be installed when ground is wet or frozen.
e) Diyert all downspouts and surface waters away from dripfield or into curtain drains.
f) Excavation, filling and grading should have been finished before installation of the subsurface
drip system.
' bl
g) Bey sure you have everything required for the installation before opening trenches. Pre-assem e
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 sub -
main manifold with tees can be pre -assembled and used to [nark the beginning and end of
WA.STEFLOW lines.
h) Fot particularly tough soil conditions moisten the soil the day before opening trenches or
installing WASTEFLOW. Remember 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 and not
cause smearing in the trenches. The soil surface should be, dry so that the installation equipment
maintains traction,
i) Mark the four corners of the field. The top two corners should be at the same elevation and the
bottom two corners should be at a lower elevation. In freezing conditions the bottom dripline
mast be higher than the supply and return line elevation at the dosing tank,
j) Install a watertight dosing tank. In freezing conditions the dosing tank should be at the lowest
elevation of the entire system. Install a watertight riser on the dosing tank if necessary.
k) Determine the proper size for the supply and return manifolds. See Worksheet line (L).
1) Install the PVC supply line from the dosing tank, up hill through one lower and one upper comer
stake of the dispersal field. Please refer to your State guidelines for depth of burial.
m) Paint a line between the two remaining corner stakes.
16 Geoflow Design and Installation Manual

n) Install the Geoflow WASTEFLOW dripline from the supply line trench to the painted line,
approximately 6" to 10"deep as specified. Upon reaching the painted line, pull the plow out of
the ground and cut the dripline I' above the ground. Tape the end of the dripline to prevent debris
from entering. 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.
o) Install the supply header with tees lined up at each Geoflow line. Hook up the Geoflow lines to
the supply header. Do not glue WASTEFLOW dripline.
Installing Lockslip fittings
a) Hold the fitting in one hand and position the tubing with the other hand.
b) Move the sleeve back, and push the tubing onto the exposed stem as far as possible.
c) Push the sleeve out over the tubing and thread the sleeve onto tubing, as though
tightening a nut to a bolt. Hand tighten. Do not use tools.
p) Install the Vortex filter and filter flush valve, or install the pre -assembled Headworks between the
field and the pump tank on the supply line. *Insulate the box in freezing conditions.
q) If using a pressure regulator, install it downstream of the filter or Headworks, just ahead of the
dispersal 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 in
freezing conditions.
r) Install the floats in the dosing tank and wire up to the timer control. The timer control should be
set to pump no more than the design flow, do not set to match the treatment capacity.
s) Install the pump. 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 five minutes to flush out any
dirt. Shut off the pump and tape the ends of the lines.
t) 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

drip systems are not prone to frost damage because, in their design, vacuum release and drain
are provided. The dripline itself is made of polyethylene and not susceptible to freezing. It
through the emitters so will not be full of water after pumps are turned off. Please follow these
Manifolds, supply lines and return lines must be sloped back to their respective dosing or
treatment tanks. These lines need to drain rapidly. Under extreme conditions return and supply
manifolds must be insulated or buried below frost -line, Be sure drain valve on flush line
remains open long enough for entire field to drain.
Remove the check valve at the pump.
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.
In severe freezing conditions, use heat tape or small heater in the Headworks box.
The top of air vacuum relief valves must be no higher than soil surface.
If using an index valve to split field zones, be sure it is capable of self -draining.
WASTEFLOW lines will self -drain through the emitters into the soil. If the cover crop over the
dripfreld is not yet adequately established, add hay or straw over the field for insulation.
Mark the valve box with a metal pin so you can find it in the winter when covered in snow.
If using manual filter flush valves or manual field flush valves, they should be left cracked
open slightly to provide for rapid drainage of the flush line in freezing conditions.
Fields dosed with relatively small quantities of effluent are more likely to freeze than those
dosed with design quantities. If winter use is less than summer use, then only use proportional
number of fields to maintain water application rates in the field being dosed.

SYS EM MAINTENANCE.,
The b st way to assure years of trouble free life from your system is to continuously monitor the
systenj and to perform regular maintenance functions. For large systems or systems with a BOD >
30 mg 1 automation of maintenance is essential. For smaller systems with a BOD < 30 mg/l
insoec ion and maintenance should be performed every six months.
AND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
1) emove the spin filter and install a clean cartridge. Clean the used filter cartridge back at the
hop with a pressure hose. The filter cartridge should be cleaned from the outside inwards. If
acteria buildup is a problem we advise first trying lye, and if the problem persists, soak the
titer cartridge in a chlorine bath - a mixture of 50% bleach and 50% water.
2) pen the field flush valve and flush the field for 3-5 minutes by activating the pump in
manual" position. Close the flush valve. On automatic solenoid valves the manual bleed lever
hould always be in the horizontal position and the dial on top should be free spinning.
lockwise rotation closes valve
3) ith the pump in the "manual" position, check the pressure in the drip field by using a
ressure gauge on the schraeder valve located on the air vents and by reading the pressure
auge located in the Wasteflow Headworks box. The pressure should be. the same as shown on
he initial installation records. On systems with manual flush valves, close the field flush valve
ompletely and then open the valve slightly until there is a 1-2 psi drop or design pressure is
reached. This will allow the field to drain after each dose to prevent the manifold lines from

OWNERS GUIDE FOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF GEOFLOW DRIP
:SAL FIELD
A Orip dispersal system has been installed on your property for the subsurface dispersal of the
of uent from your home.
The drip dispersal system consists of a series of 1/2"diameter drip tubing installed at a shallow depth
of 8-10"below the ground surface. It is designed to effectively disperse of the treated effluent in the
ground with a combination of soil absorption and plant uptake. Your drip dispersal system will
ftuiction for many years with only minimal maintenance being required, provided the following
re ommendations are followed:
Establish landscaping (preferably a grass cover) immediately. This will stabilize the soil and
allow for the vegetation to take up the water.
Do not discharge sump pumps, footing drains or other sources of clear water to the system,
except for the effluent discharge from your treatment system.
Maintain all plumbing fixtures to prevent excess water from entering the dispersal system.
Do not drive cars, trucks or other heavy equipment over the drip dispersal field. This can
damage the drip components or the soil and cause the system to mal-function. Lawn mowers,
rubber wheeled garden tractors and light equipment can be driven over the drip field.
Do not drive tent stakes, golf putting holes, croquet hoops etc., into the dispersal field
Contact your service company if your high water alarm should sound. The pump chamber is
sized to allow additional storage after the high water alarm sounds but you should refrain from
excessive water usage (i.e., laundry) until the system has been checked.
After a temporary shut down due to a vacation or other reason, the treatment plant ahead of the
drip field filter, initially may not function effectively, resulting in the filter blocking.
ct your service company if you notice any areas of excessive wetness in the field. In most
this is usually caused by a loose fitting or a nicked dripline and can be easily repaired. Note;
may be some initial wetness over the driplines following the system's installation. This should
once the ground has settled and a grass cover is established
2003 23

SHOOTING GUIDE:
,mptom: High water alarm activates periodically (1-2 times/week). During other times the
water level in the pump chamber is at a normal level.
le cause: Peak water usage (frequently laundry day) is causing a temporary high water
condition to occur.
Remedy: Set timer to activate the pump more frequently. Be sure to not exceed the total
design flow. To avoid this, reduce the duration of each dose.
Remedy: Provide a larger pump tank to accommodate the peak flow periods.
ptom: High water alarm activates during or shortly after periods of heavy rainfall.
cause: Infiltration of ground/surface water into system.
Identify sources of infiltration, such as tank seams, pipe connections, risers, etc.
Repair as required.
prom: High water alarm activates intermittently, including times when it is not raining or
when laundry is not being done.
cause: A toilet or other plumbing fixture may be leaking sporadically but not
continuously. Check water meter readings for 1-2 weeks to determine if water
usage is unusually high for the number of occupants and their lifestyle. Also
determine if water usage is within design range.
medy: Identify and repair fixture.
ptom: High water alarm activates continuously on a new installation (less than 3 months
of operation). Inspection of the filter indicates it is plugged with a gray colored
growth. Water usage is normal,
cause: Slow start-up of treatment plant resulting in the presence of nutrient in the effluent
sufficient to cause a biological growth on the filter. This is typical of lightly loaded
treatment plants that receive a high percentage of gray water (i.e., from showers
and laundry).
medy: Remove and clean filter cartridge in a bleach solution. Add a gallon of household
bleach to pump,tank to uldbe 9tgamics, Contact -treatment plant manufacturer for
advice on speeding up the treatment process possibly by "seeding" the plant with
fresh activated sludge from another treatment plant.
ptom: Water surfaces continuously at one or more isolated spots, each one foot or more
in diameter.
cause: Damaged drip line or a loose connection is allowing water be discharged under
pressure and therefore at a much greater volume than intended.
medy: Dig up drip line. Activate pump and locate leak. Repair as required.
cause: If water is at base of slope, can be caused by low -head drainage.
.medy: Install check valves and airvents in the manifolds to redistribute water in the
system after pump is turned off. This is not advised for freezing climates where
manifold drainage is required.
24 1 Geoflow Design and Installation Manual

Symptom: A portion of the drip field closest to the feed manifold is saturated while the rest of
the field is dry.
sible cause: Insufficient pump pressure. A pressure check at the return manifold indicates
pressure of less than 10 psi.
Remedy: Check filter and pump intake to insure they are not plugged. If they are, clean as
required.
Remedy: Leaks in the system may be resulting in loss of pressure. Check for water leaks in
connections and fittings or wet spots in the field. Also check air vents to insure
they are closing properly. Repair as necessary.
Remedy: Pump is worn or improperly sized. Pressure at feed manifold in less than 15-psi.
Verify pressure requirements of system and provide a new or larger pump. As an
alternate approach, the drip field may need to be divided into two or more zones,
sible cause: The duration of each dose is of insufficient length to allow the drip field to become
pressurized before the pump shuts off (or runs for only a brief time before turning
off).
Remedy: Increase the pump run time and decrease the frequency of doses. Always calculate
(or observe during field operation) how long the system takes to fully pressurize
and add this time to the design dosing duration.
Symptorn: High water alarm begins to activate continuously after a long period (1-2 years) of
normal operation. Inspection of the filter indicates it is plugged with a heavy
accumulation of sludge.
sible cause: A buildup of solids in the pump tank due to carryover from the treatment plant.
Remedy: Replace the filter cartridge with a clean cartridge. Check the pump tank and if an
accumulation of solids is noted, pump the solids out of the pump tank. Also, check
the operation of the treatment plant to insure it is operating properly.
Symptom: Water surfaces at several spots in drip field during dosing periods, Installation is
recent, less than 6 months of usage and the soil is a moderate to heavy clay.
Possibly, the installation was completed using a non -vibratory plow.
P ssible cause: Smearing of the soil may have occurred during installation of drip line. Also, the
"cut" resulting from the installation allows an easy path for the water to surface
during dosing.
Remedy: Inmost cases the sod will -compact naturally around the drip line and the surfacing'
will diminish and ultimately cease. To help, reduce the duration of each dose and
increase the number of doses/day. Also, it will help to seed the area to encourage
the development of a good root zone.
