Welcome : Service : User Manual : Start-Up Procedure

1. After a proper installation has been accomplished and all piping connections have been made (the inlet, outlet, and vent lines are properly connected, and system has been filled with water), proceed to step 2 of this Start-Up Procedure.

2. Add Formula 101 and Formula 101 Enhancer – Add 2 oz of each product for every 500 gallons of waste treatment capacity. For example, if your system is a model A, then it was designed to treat 33 gallons of wastewater per day. You would add 2 oz. of each product by flushing down the toilet.

3. Add Chlorine Tablets – Fill the chlorinator tube with chlorine tablets until full, (approximately 1 pound) and reinsert tube. These systems are designed to use 2 5/8" wastewater treatment chlorine tablets. Proper chlorine tablets must be used. Pool grade chlorine is unacceptable.

CAUTION: Avoid breathing chlorine vapors. Avoid contact with skin and clothing. Keep chlorine tablets in a clean, dry container – preferably the original container in which they were received.

4. Electrical Connections – Connect the power supply to the starter panel only! For 3Ø equipment, verify proper rotation prior to continuing on to the next step.

5. Blower Operations – Start blower and observe internal operations of tank by removing access covers on top of tank. Then check the following:

A.) Aeration Chamber
1.) Diffusers should be causing bubbling and rolling of water in this chamber.
2.) The one (1) return line should have a slow flow of water coming from the line. Adjust associated valves, ONLY if necessary.

B.) Clarifier Chamber
Water should be dropping into throat of skimmers approximately 1" to 2". Skimmer depth is _"-1/2" under surface of water to skim properly. Adjust floats, ONLY if necessary.
