CONTROL CENTER
SPECIFICATIONS
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
The contractor shall furnish and install one complete Singulair Green Bio-Kinetic wastewater treatment system with all necessary parts and equipment as described in the following specifications. Treatment of the domestic wastewater shall be accomplished by the extended aeration process with non-mechanical flow equalization, pretreatment of the influent and filtration of the final effluent. The treatment system shall provide primary, secondary and tertiary treatment of the wastewater flow, and if required, chlorination and dechlorination of the effluent prior to discharge. All treatment processes shall be contained within a single tank which shall be manufactured using high density polyethylene resin. The wastewater treatment system shall be a Singulair Green as manufactured by Norweco, Inc., Norwalk, Ohio, USA.
Systems not including integral pretreatment or non-mechanical flow equalization shall not be considered for this application.
The wastewater treatment system shall include high density polyethylene tankage providing separate pretreatment, aeration and final clarification chambers. The tankage shall be furnished with a Schedule 40 PVC inlet hub, removable sealed pretreatment cover, submerged transfer ports, aerator mounting riser with removable vented cover, molded outlet coupling, Bio-Kinetic system mounting riser with removable sealed cover and Schedule 40 PVC outlet hub. Principal items of electro-mechanical equipment supplied with the Singulair Green wastewater treatment system shall be a UL Listed 1725 RPM mechanical aerator, UL Listed Service Pro electrical control center, Bio-Static sludge return and a Bio-Kinetic tertiary treatment device for flow equalization and final filtration of system effluent.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
The Singulair Green system shall be certified to treat up to 600 GPD (gallons per day) of domestic wastewater. Total holding capacity of the system shall provide a minimum of 48 hour retention of the daily flow. The pretreatment chamber shall provide at least 18 hour retention, the extended aeration chamber shall provide at least 24 hour retention and the clarification chamber shall provide at least 6 hour retention. The non-mechanical flow equalization device shall increase each individual chamber and total system retention time in direct proportion to loading. Design of the system shall include a compartmented tank and a non-mechanical flow equalization device to insure successful treatment performance without upset even when the significant runoff period is six hours. Hydraulic design considerations of the system and flow equalization device shall be such that intermittent peak flow factors as high as four shall not upset hydraulic reliability within the system. Capability of the system to perform as outlined shall be certified by an independent testing laboratory and approved for use by the local governing regulatory agency.
PRETREATMENT CHAMBER
The pretreatment chamber shall be an integral part of the wastewater treatment system. All domestic wastewater shall be preconditioned and flow equalized while passing through the pretreatment chamber prior to being introduced to the extended aeration chamber. The outlet of the pretreatment chamber shall be equipped with a discharge tee that extends vertically into the liquid so that only the preconditioned equalized flow from the center area of the chamber is displaced to the extended aeration chamber. The discharge tee and transfer port shall be of adequate size to handle a peak flow factor of four without restricting the outlet and disturbing hydraulic displacement to the extended aeration chamber. A removable inspection cover shall be incorporated into the top of the pretreatment chamber to allow tank and transfer tee inspection.
AERATION CHAMBER
The extended aeration chamber shall provide in excess of 24 hour retention of the equalized daily flow. The chamber shall be of sufficient size to provide a minimum of 80 cubic feet of tank capacity per pound of applied BOD. The aeration chamber shall be an integral part of the system flow path and configured to insure effective mixing of microorganisms, wastewater and fresh air. No area of the chamber shall be isolated from process mixing, thereby eliminating dead or quiescent areas of the treatment chamber which are detrimental to the treatment process. Influent into the aeration chamber shall be preconditioned, equalized flow from the pretreatment chamber and settled solids via the Bio-Static sludge return.
FINAL CLARIFICATION CHAMBER
The final clarification chamber shall consist of 5 functionally independent zones operating together to provide satisfactory settling and clarification of the equalized flow. An inlet zone shall be provided and shall dissipate transfer turbulence at the flow inlet of the clarification chamber. Its performance shall also eliminate turbulence in other zones of the clarifier. Liquid shall be hydraulically displaced from the inlet zone to the sludge return zone. Hydraulic currents shall sweep settled sludge from the hoppered walls and return these solids via the inlet zone to the aeration chamber. As solids are removed, liquid is displaced to the hopper zone of the clarifier. In this zone, settling by gravity takes place. Three of the four sidewalls are slanted to form a hopper which directs all settled material back to the sludge return zone. Clarified liquid from the hopper zone shall be displaced into the final settling zone to provide additional clarification of the liquid. The liquid is displaced to the outlet zone for final filtration and discharge from the system.
Non-mechanical equalization of the flow, through all 5 zones, shall provide optimal settling and clarification.
BIO-STATIC
®
SLUDGE RETURN
A Bio-Static sludge return shall be mounted into the opening in the aeration/clarification chamber wall to provide positive return of settled solids. Aeration chamber hydraulic currents shall enter the sludge return and be directed through the Bio-Static device into the second zone of the clarification chamber. The Bio-Static sludge return shall accomplish resuspension and return of settled solids without disturbing the clarified liquid in the final settling zone and outlet zone.
MECHANICAL AERATOR
The Singulair aerator shall be installed in a rotationally molded, heavy duty, high density polyethylene aerator mounting riser above the aeration chamber. Fresh air shall be supplied through an injection molded, heavy duty, glass-filled polypropylene access cover above the aerator.

CONTROL CENTER
OWNER’S MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
The Singulair Green unit is the finest system available and utilizes the most up-to-date wastewater treatment technology. It is a sound investment that protects you and the environment. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the contents of this manual.
HOW THE SINGULAIR GREEN
®
SYSTEM WORKS
Developed to serve homes and small businesses beyond the reach of city sewers, the Singulair Green system employs the extended aeration process. Similar to the treatment method used by most municipal wastewater treatment facilities, this process involves a natural, biological breakdown of the organic matter in wastewater.
Wastewater enters the pretreatment chamber where anaerobic bacterial action combines with the effects of gravity to precondition the waste before it flows into the aeration chamber. Once in the aeration chamber, aerobic bacteria utilize the organic matter in the wastewater to biologically convert the waste into stable substances. Following aeration, flow is transferred to the clarification chamber where the effects of gravity settle out biologically active material. The Bio-Static sludge return, located in the clarification chamber, creates hydraulic currents that gently transfer settled particles back to the aeration chamber. As clarified liquids pass through the Bio-Kinetic system, they are filtered, settled and flow equalized. As a result, complete pretreatment, aeration, clarification and final filtration are assured. The
Singulair Green system reliably protects you, your property and the environment.
FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES
Singulair Green tanks and risers are constructed of rotationally molded, UV stabilized, high density polyethylene. Integrally molded treatment chamber walls and structural support ribs insure durability and maximum strength. Lids are injection molded, heavy duty, glass-filled polypropylene. All components within the system that will contact the wastewater are constructed entirely of molded plastic, stainless steel or rubber.
The Singulair aerator is powered by a 1725 RPM, 115 volt,
60 hertz, single phase, fractional horsepower motor. It is the only electrically powered component in the Singulair Green system. The aerator has been designed specifically for use in the
Singulair system. It costs less to operate and consumes fewer kilowatt hours of electricity than most major appliances.
The Singulair aerator is supplied with a prewired electrical control center contained in a NEMA rated enclosure. The control center contains a power switch and time clock that control aerator operation. The local dealer’s name, address and telephone number are displayed on the control center cover.
All system controls and necessary owner information are conveniently located at your fingertips.
Non-mechanical flow equalization and final filtration is accomplished within the Singulair Green tank by the
Bio-Kinetic system. This revolutionary device is installed in the clarification chamber and connected to the system outlet.
Optional chlorination and dechlorination may be included in the
Bio-Kinetic system if required. All Singulair Green components work together to assure complete pretreatment, aeration, clarification and final filtration.
SINGULAIR GREEN
®
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
Rivaling the performance of the most advanced wastewater treatment plants in the world, the Singulair Green system complies with USEPA wastewater treatment guidelines for secondary treatment systems and meets all requirements of
NSF/ANSI Standards 40 and 245. In ecologically sensitive areas, the most stringent effluent standards are 10 mg/L
CBOD and 10 mg/L TSS. Rated Class I after successfully completing the 7 month Standard 40 test protocol, the Model
960 system averaged effluent of 6 mg/L CBOD and 10 mg/L
TSS. The Model TNT system averaged effluent of 4 mg/L
CBOD, 9 mg/L TSS and 12 mg/L Total Nitrogen.
OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
The Singulair Green system is designed to treat only domestic wastewater. Domestic wastewater is defined as the waste generated from a typical residence. This includes flows originating from: bathtubs, clothes washers, dishwashers, drinking fountains, water coolers, food grinders, kitchen sinks, lavatories, mop basins, service sinks, shower stalls, sinks, wash sinks, water closets and whirlpool baths. While the use of bio-degradable detergents is recommended, the
Singulair Green system has been designed to handle any reasonable amount of bathroom, kitchen or laundry waste.
However, some care should be exercised to insure that non-biodegradable and/or toxic materials are not disposed of via the domestic wastewater plumbing. Do not use the plumbing system for disposal of lint, cooking grease, scouring pads, diapers, sanitary napkins, cotton balls, cotton swabs, cleaning rags, dental floss, strings, cigarette filters, rubber or plastic products, paints and thinning agents, gasoline, motor oil, drain cleaners or other harsh chemicals.
These items could plug portions of the plumbing, interfere with biological treatment, accumulate in the treatment system and adversely affect system performance. Never connect roofing down spouts, footer drains, sump pump piping, garage and basement floor drains or water softener backwash to the domestic wastewater plumbing or the treatment system. Water softener backwash will interfere with biological treatment and must be disposed of separately.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The Service Pro control center must be wired to a dedicated
115 VAC, single phase circuit at the main electrical service panel. A 15 amp circuit is recommended (10 amp minimum).
A pictorial wiring diagram is provided inside the control center enclosure. All electrical work must be performed in accordance with the requirements of the National Electrical
Code and all applicable local codes. Electrical connections should be made only by a qualified electrician following proper procedures and using safe tools.
CAUTION: Any time service is required, first shut off the dedicated circuit breaker in the main electrical service panel. Next, shut off the power switch in the Service Pro control center. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
SINGULAIR
®
AERATOR
The aerator has been specifically designed for use in the Singulair system and includes special alloy and molded plastic parts to prolong aerator life.
Aerator bearings are prelubricated and sealed.
The Singulair aerator is installed in a plastic mounting riser above the aeration chamber. Fresh air enters the aerator through four intake ports located under the aerator handle. Air is drawn down the hollow aspirator shaft where it is introduced below the liquid surface.
Only the molded plastic aspirator and the lower portion of the stainless steel aspirator shaft are submerged.
The aerator is not designed to run under water and will automatically shut off if a high water condition occurs. If the liquid rises to the level of the foam restrictor, the control center will shut off power to the aerator. Next, an automatic diagnostic sequence will begin, as outlined in the section titled SERVICE PRO
CONTROL CENTER.
The Singulair aerator is a precision engineered electro-mechanical device. Do not remove it from its installed position. Do not attempt any type of repair.
Contact your local dealer if service is needed. Unauthorized tampering or repair will void important provisions of the lifetime warranty and exchange program.
FRESH AIR VENTING SYSTEM
A fresh air vent is designed into the perimeter of the access cover above the Singulair aerator. The perimeter vent supplies fresh air to the aerator, which is drawn through the aspirator and into the wastewater. Finished landscaping should be maintained six inches below the top of the vented access cover and graded to drain runoff away from the cover. Do not obstruct the vented access cover or allow plants, shrubbery, mulch or landscaping of any type to restrict the flow of air to the perimeter vent.
SERVICE PRO
®
CONTROL CENTER
To permit fully automatic operation, prewired electrical controls are supplied in a sealed NEMA rated enclosure for your safety and the protection of components and wiring. The control center should be located so the red warning light can be seen and the audible alarm heard, while minimizing exposure to harsh weather or conditions that might prevent routine access. If an issue with the aerator is detected, the red alarm light will flash and the control center will attempt to restart the aerator every five minutes for two hours. For an open motor or under current condition, the alarm light will display a repeating pattern of two short flashes followed by a three second pause. For an over current condition, the alarm light will flash evenly until serviced. If the aerator does not restart after two hours, the audible alarm will sound. To silence the audible alarm and attempt to restart the aerator, push the reset button on the control center cover. This should allow the aerator to resume normal operation. If the alarm condition is not resolved, the audible alarm will be silenced for 48 hours, but the alarm light will continue to flash. In this case, contact your local Singulair Green dealer.
TIME CLOCK
The control center for the Model TNT system is supplied with a non-adjustable time clock. The non-adjustable time clock creates a 60 minute aeration cycle followed by a 60 minute anoxic cycle during which the aerator is off.
All other control centers are supplied with an adjustable time clock that determines the operating cycle of the aerator. The time clock will not permit the aerator to run less than 30 minutes out of each hour and is adjustable in five minute increments up to continuous operation.
The performance of the Singulair Green system has been certified to meet NSF/ANSI Standard 40 effluent quality requirements and USEPA secondary treatment guidelines at the minimum time clock setting. The time clock is factory preset and should not be adjusted by the owner. Your factory-trained Singulair Green dealer will make necessary adjustments under the specific direction and authorization of the local regulatory agency.
NOTE: The control center may regularly communicate with the Service Pro monitoring center using your telephone line and a toll free number. If the control center is using the line when you attempt to place a call, a high pitched digital communication signal will be heard. Hang up all telephones sharing the line and wait a few seconds. This will automatically disconnect the control center and make the line available for use.
BIO-STATIC
®
SLUDGE RETURN
A Bio-Static sludge return is installed in the aeration/ clarification chamber wall. Aeration chamber hydraulic currents enter the sludge return and transfer solids from the clarification chamber back to the aeration chamber for additional treatment. The Bio-Static sludge return accomplishes resuspension and return of settled solids without disturbing the contents of the clarification chamber.
BIO-KINETIC
®
SYSTEM
The Bio-Kinetic system provides non-mechanical flow equalization through all plant processes. The Bio-Kinetic system contains 3 separate filtration zones, 8 independent settling zones, optional chlorination and dechlorination tablet feed systems and serves as its own chlorine contact chamber. When used with Blue Crystal residential disinfecting tablets, the performance of the Bio-Kinetic system as a disinfection device is certified to
NSF/ANSI Standard
46, Section 11. All c o m p o n e n t s a r e manufactured from plastic or rubber. The
Bio-Kinetic system is equipped with fill and drain valves which facilitate service to the filter. Your local dealer has the necessary training, tools and equipment for removal and cleaning. If your
Bio-Kinetic system is in need of service, contact your local
S i n g u l a i r G r e e n dealer. During each semi-annual service inspection, your local dealer will remove and clean the Bio-
Kinetic system or replace it with a unit from their service stock.
NON-MECHANICAL
FLOW EQUALIZATION
The patented design of the Bio-Kinetic system provides non-mechanical flow equalization for the Singulair Green wastewater treatment plant. Equalization reduces incoming hydraulic surges (e.g. typical shower of 10 minutes duration, bathtub discharge of 5 minutes duration, clothes washer discharge of 2 minutes duration and dishwasher discharge of 2 minutes duration) throughout the system.
The flow equalization provided by the Bio-Kinetic system causes wastewater to be held upstream of the final outlet during hydraulic surges, which preserves treatment integrity and enhances system operation. The actual rate of equalization varies and depends upon specific loading patterns and the duration of each flow surge. At the 600
GPD (gallons per day) NSF/ANSI Standard 40 design loading schedule, minimum performance of the Singulair
Green system equalizes all flow an average of 50%. As a result, hydraulic surges and periods of high wastewater flow are automatically reduced to protect the environment and all treatment plant processes on a demand use, as needed, basis.
BLUE CRYSTAL
®
RESIDENTIAL
DISINFECTING TABLETS
If local regulations require, an initial supply of Blue Crystal disinfecting tablets will be placed in the Bio-Kinetic system chlorine feed tube at system start-up. Specifically formulated for use in the Singulair system, Blue Crystal disinfecting tablets provide efficient and reliable disinfection when effluent chlorination is desirable. Manufactured from calcium hypochlorite, Blue Crystal disinfecting tablets provide effective, economical bacteria killing power. Liquid entering the Bio-Kinetic system contacts the installed
Blue Crystal disinfecting tablets, just downstream of the equalization ports. A fully charged feed tube will last an average of three to six months. During each semi-annual inspection, your local dealer’s service technician will check system operation, the rate of tablet consumption and install tablets to insure maximum system performance.
NOTE: USEPA guidelines state, “On the average, satisfactory disinfection of secondary wastewater effluent can be obtained when the chlorine residual is 0.5 ppm after 15 minutes contact.” Retention time must comply with the controlling regulatory jurisdiction.
CAUTION: The improper handling of Blue Crystal tablets may cause personal injury or property damage. Keep out of the reach of children and do not allow the tablets or feed tubes to contact skin, eyes or clothing. Tablets may be fatal if swallowed and tablet dust is irritating to the eyes, nose and throat. Do not handle the tablets or feed tube without first carefully reading the product container label, MSDS information and the handling and storage instructions. Mixing of chemicals may cause a violent reaction leading to fire or explosion. For additional information about Blue Crystal tablets contact your local authorized dealer.
BIO-MAX
®
TABLETS
DECHLORINATION
In ecologically sensitive areas, environmental standards or regulations may require the use of Bio-Max dechlorination tablets. Bio-Max tablets are formulated to remove chlorine residual to non-detectable levels for the protection of sensitive receiving environments. Containing 92% sodium sulfite as the active ingredient, the tablets are manufactured to neutralize both free and combined chlorine. Bio-Max dechlorination tablets dissolve slowly, releasing controlled amounts of chemical for the instantaneous removal of residual chlorine from the wastewater flow. As liquid passes through the final discharge zone of the Bio-Kinetic system, the flow contacts the installed Bio-Max tablets and residual chlorine is removed from the system effluent. A fully charged Bio-Max feed tube will last an average of three to six months. During each semi-annual inspection, your local dealer’s service technician will check system operation, the rate of tablet consumption and install tablets to insure maximum system performance.
CAUTION: Bio-Max tablets or feed tubes should not be mixed with Blue Crystal tablets. Do not handle the tablets or feed tube without first carefully reading the product container label, MSDS information and the handling and storage instructions. For additional information about Bio-Max tablets contact your local authorized dealer.
NO OWNER MAINTENANCE
The Singulair Green system is inspected and serviced by a local licensed, factory-trained dealer, therefore, no owner maintenance is required during the warranty period. The
Singulair Green system does not require pumping as often as a septic tank. Under normal use only the pretreatment chamber should be pumped. How often pumping is necessary depends on system use. The local Singulair
Green dealer will inspect the aeration chamber contents and plant effluent at six month intervals to determine if the pretreatment chamber is discharging excessive solids.
Every three years, the pretreatment chamber should be inspected. The pretreatment chamber will normally require pumping at three to five year intervals. Contact your local dealer prior to tank pumping for complete information on removal of equipment, access to individual chambers, coordination of services and proper disposal of tank contents. A tank pumping service licensed by the local regulatory agency must be used for removal and disposal of tank contents. The tank pumper should consult with local authorities to determine the proper disposal method.
If a period of intermittent use, or an extended period of non-use of the Singulair Green system is anticipated, contact the local dealer for instructions. Your local dealer has comprehensive service instructions and has been factory-trained in troubleshooting procedures. Contact your local Singulair Green dealer if you require service or information regarding tank pumping.
SERVICE PRO
®
MONITORING CENTER
The Service Pro monitoring center is a maintenance tracking database that is free for use by all Singulair Green dealers and service providers. If your Singulair Green dealer uses the Service Pro website, a record for your system will be created at www.servicepromcd.com when the system is installed. The serial numbers for Singulair Green equipment and treatment plant information will be entered at that time. This proprietary website stores all relevant system information in one convenient, secure and password protected location. The Service Pro website keeps a detailed history of all maintenance visits that are made to your installation. The monitoring center will schedule future service inspections and notify your Singulair
Green dealer when they are due. System owners can also use the Service Pro website to access information, track service calls or monitor compliance with regulatory requirements. If you would like to use the Service Pro website, contact your
Singulair Green dealer to receive a user name and password.
An optional Service Pro MCD control center or Service Pro
TNT control center is available for use with the Singulair Green system. Designed to connect to a standard telephone line, these control centers provide MONITORING, COMPLIANCE and DIAGNOSTIC functions complete with telemetry for communication with the Service Pro monitoring center. Digital
Subscriber Line (DSL) phone service requires the use of a low-cost DSL filter. Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) is not reliable with any telemetry system and not recommended.
Once your Service Pro control center is connected to a telephone line, commissioned, and covered by a remote monitoring agreement, your dealer will be immediately notified of any alarm condition. The Service Pro monitoring center will automatically log the time and date of alarm conditions, as well as service performed, and store them in your system history record for viewing at www.servicepromcd.com

Is an adequate supply of sealing material available for all plumbing connections?
Does the delivery vehicle have the proper pick-up bar, cable, straps and/or chain?
Is the proper Service Pro control center available for delivery with the tank?
Is there sufficient underground electrical cable to reach from the control center to the tank?
PLEASE NOTE: The Singulair Green tank is constructed of high density polyethylene. All joints have been factory sealed for your convenience. This will minimize tank loading, unloading and setting time at the site. The Singulair Green tank has been designed for underground use only. Do not install the tank in a location that is subject to vehicular traffic.
the tank.
CHECKING THE EXCAVATION
Before tank setting begins, verify that the excavation is level and free of sharp stones and construction debris.
Clear out any objects that could come in contact with
The length, width and depth of the excavation should be checked. The excavation should have sufficient overdig to allow between 18" to 24" of clearance around the entire perimeter of the Singulair
Green system. In addition, the excavation should allow for a minimum of 6" and a maximum of 18 1 /
2
" of cover over the top of the tank.
For deeper installations, consult the Deeper Burial
Requirements section of this guide. Failure to follow the TANK WITH DELIVERY TRAILER excavation and backfilling guidelines may result in tank damage and will void the system warranty.
Check the influent and effluent sewer line trenches. The trench depth should correspond with the Singulair Green system inlet and outlet connections and the trenches should be smooth to prevent damage to the sewer lines.
A tank leveling pad should be installed in the bottom of the excavation. The leveling pad should be a minimum of 4" thick and leveled to within 1 /
4
" from side to side and end to end. The elevation of the top of the leveling pad should correspond to the outside bottom of the Singulair Green tank when installed. In areas with unstable soil conditions, a reinforced concrete pad may be required under the
Singulair Green tank.
Safe working conditions must be established and maintained during the entire installation procedure.
Unstable soil conditions require constant monitoring of the site to insure safety.
Installation procedures, equipment and personnel should always comply with applicable safety regulations as well as all federal, state and local codes.
Do not install the Singulair Green tank in saturated clay, areas with a high water table, bogs, swampy areas, landfills where the soil is soft or wet, areas containing expansive soils or soils with an ultimate bearing capacity of less than
1,500 psf. Failure to follow these directions may result in damage to the tank and will void the system warranty.
TEMPORARY UNIT STORAGE
If a Singulair Green tank is delivered before installation can occur, store the tank on smooth ground with no rocks or sharp objects against the tank. Chock the tank with sandbags to prevent tank movement. If high winds are anticipated, tie the tank down to prevent any damage.
PREPARING THE SINGULAIR GREEN ® TANK
Before installing the Singulair Green tank, inspect for signs of damage that may have occurred during transportation or handling. Damaged tanks could leak and should not be installed. Check the inlet and outlet couplings for any signs of damage that would prevent solvent welding to the plumbing. Inspect all risers and access covers to insure no damage has occurred. Verify that all riser and access cover fasteners are securely attached.
CAUTION: Extreme care should be used in the vicinity of any excavation. A delivery vehicle can place excessive loading on excavation sidewalls and care must be taken in its positioning. Once installed, no vehicle should operate over the tank or any other part of the treatment system.
TANK SETTING AND SAFETY
Make sure the delivery vehicle outriggers are firmly placed on stable soil at the excavation site. All personnel must be out of the excavation area and at a safe distance from the tank. Before lifting the tank, check all lifting chains, straps or cables to be sure they are properly secured. Lift the tank using at least four of the molded lifting lugs located on the Singulair Green tank. Carefully lower the tank into the excavation. Stop the tank several inches above the excavation floor and position it in the desired location.
Lower the tank carefully until all tension is off the lifting device. Do not remove the lifting chains, straps or cables until tank leveling has been completed.
LOWER TANK INTO EXCAVATION
LEVELING THE TANK
Remove the access covers and place a level on the risers to verify that the tank is level within 1 /
4
" from side to side and end to end. If the tank needs to be raised more than
6" to apply leveling material, all personnel should move to a safe location so the tank can be fully removed from the excavation. Fall through the system from inlet invert to outlet invert is 4". Therefore, the outlet invert of the system must be installed 4" lower than the inlet invert.
LEVEL BEFORE BACKFILLING TANK
MOUNTING RISER AND
OPTIONAL EXTENSION RISER INSTALLATION
If extension risers are required, install them as needed above each mounting riser. To insure a watertight seal, install a gasket in all joints between the risers.
Access to the pretreatment chamber can be developed to grade or below grade as required by local regulation or owner preference. The access cover on the pretreatment chamber must be developed to within 12" of finished grade. Place a sealed access cover on the pretreatment chamber access opening. Place a vented access cover on the aerator mounting riser and a sealed access cover on the Bio-Kinetic system mounting riser before backfilling.
SEWER LINE INSTALLATION
Sewer lines may be installed as soon as the Singulair
Green tank has been leveled. Sewer line trenches must be smoothly excavated and free of debris or sharp objects.
The trenches must allow sewer lines to be laid with 1 /
8
" of fall per lineal foot. Influent and effluent sewer lines must be at least 4" in diameter. The influent and effluent lines should be PVC pipe and solvent welded into the Singulair
Green tank inlet and outlet couplings. Influent and effluent lines must be laid continuously and unspliced from the tank to the undisturbed earth beyond the tank excavation site.
Underground electrical cable for electrical service to the
Singulair aerator should be installed in the influent sewer line trench before backfilling the Singulair Green tank.
Refer to the “ELECTRICAL WIRING AND CONTROL
CENTER INSTALLATION” instructions for complete details.
CAUTION : Do not attempt to adjust the position of the tank or sewer lines with the backhoe bucket. Excessive force may damage the inlet and/or outlet couplings.
GROUND WATER RELIEF POINT
The effluent sewer line should be installed with a ground water relief point to prevent back-up into the system if the effluent discharge point is blocked or flooded. This device can be constructed by installing a pipe tee in the effluent sewer line and extending it to grade. The relief point must be at a lower elevation than the outlet invert of the Singulair Green tank. The extension to grade should be installed with a suitable screen to prevent access to the sewer line.
BACKFILLING THE GREEN SYSTEM
Prior to backfilling, add a minimum of 12" (250 gallons) of ballast water to the Singulair Green tank to prevent shifting in the excavation. Fill each chamber to an equal level. Do not add water through the clarifier access opening. The clarification chamber will be filled through the transfer opening between the aeration and clarification chambers as the aeration chamber is filled. The Singulair Green tank must be backfilled immediately after the sewer lines, underground electrical cable and ballast water are in place.
GRAVEL BACKFILL
Be sure that the backfill is free of rocks, sharp objects, large clumps of earth and construction debris. Never use clay for backfill material. The backfill must flow freely and care should be taken to insure that all recesses formed between the ribs and beneath the area between the pretreatment and aeration chambers are completely filled. Add backfill evenly around the entire perimeter of the Singulair Green tank in 12" increments. Hand tamp each layer of fill to compact soil. When backfilling over the tank, add fill to the area between the risers first. Final grading should be
3" to 4" below the top of each access cover and should slope away from the tank so surface runoff will drain away from the Singulair Green system. Use extreme care when backfilling the excavation. Do not allow dirt or mud to enter any part of the Singulair Green system or sewer lines.
TANK HOLD DOWN WATER
The Singulair Green tank must be filled with clean water to the outlet invert immediately following backfilling.
The water must be free of leaves, mud, grit or other materials that might interfere with system operation.
EARTH BACKFILL
GRAVEL PAD
PROPER BACKFILL FOR THE TANK
Cover all openings, then begin backfilling with gravel under and around the sloped clarifier. Continue to add gravel until the discharge line from the Singulair Green tank is covered.
Proceed to the inlet end of the pretreatment chamber and add gravel until the inlet line is covered. Fine, loose earth may be used to backfill the remainder of the excavation.
UNDISTURBED EARTH
TANK HOLD DOWN WATER
When pumping or dewatering the Singulair Green tank, only pump the pretreatment chamber. Then, promptly refill the tank to capacity with clean water. Dewatering and leaving the Singulair Green tank empty will affect tank integrity and void the Singulair Green warranty.
DEEPER BURIAL REQUIREMENTS
Special consideration should be taken if the Singulair Green tank is buried deeper than 18 1 /
2
" below grade. However, the tank should never be buried deeper than 36 1 /
2
" below grade. If deep burial is required, first fill the tank with 12" of clean ballast water. Next, backfill around the entire tank with gravel up to the base of the risers. Once gravel is in place, fill the tank with clean water to the design flow line.
Finally, backfill to grade with native soil.
SPECIAL ANTI-FLOTATION SYSTEM
In areas where high water is a concern, it may be necessary to provide additional anti-flotation measures to secure the
Singulair Green tank. Anti-flotation is not required when the tank is installed with at least 18" of fill over the tank and the soil density of the backfill is at least 100 pounds per cubic foot. Failure to follow the anti-flotation recommendations provided in this document may result in damage to the
Singulair Green tank or shifting in the excavation and may void all or part of the limited warranty.
If anti-flotation is required, consult a soil scientist to measure soil density. Once soil density is defined, refer to the SHALLOW BURIAL AND REDUCED SOIL DENSITY
HOLD DOWN REQUIREMENTS chart below. After the amount of additional hold down weight is determined, it is recommended that a pair of concrete beams of appropriate size be placed at the base of the excavation. Alternately,
0.60 CCA treated lumber beams may be used. Treated lumber beams and anti-flotation strap assemblies are available from Norweco. Beams must not be placed directly under the perimeter of the Singulair Green tank. The weight of the soil over the beams significantly contributes to the tank hold down forces. Placing beams under the tank will limit the amount of soil anchoring the beams into the excavation and should never be done.
Secure the anti-flotation beams to the Singulair Green tank with properly rated hold down straps that attach to the lifting lugs located at the top of each of the three chambers. The weight of the beams plus the weight of the soil over the beams must be greater than the required hold down weight shown in the table below.

COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION
Once the tank has been filled with clean water, the access openings must be secured. Install a sealed access cover on the pretreatment and clarification chamber risers. Install a vented cover on the aeration chamber riser. CAUTION:
All access covers must be secured with fasteners provided. Failure to secure covers could result in injury or death.
Installation of the control center and underground electrical cable are normally completed before leaving the site. Refer to “ELECTRICAL WIRING AND CONTROL
CENTER INSTALLATION” instructions for details.

The Singulair aerator enjoys the distinction of being the only aerator on the market today backed by a lifetime exchange program. After the initial Singulair aerator three year warranty has expired, the owner is entitled to a lifetime of aerator protection with the exchange program.
Customers with a Singulair system may exchange any aerator, any age, for a replacement unit. The three year limited warranty starts over again on the replacement unit installation date. Norweco is proud to be able to offer a lifetime of protection to its Singulair customers. To qualify for the exchange program the conditions outlined below must be met.
Aerators can be accepted by Norweco for exchange if they are returned, freight prepaid, to our factory by a licensed Norweco Singulair distributor, licensed service center or authorized dealer. Collect shipments, or units returned directly from customers cannot be accepted. If aerator parts are missing or the aerator has been disassembled by unauthorized persons or tampered with in any way, it will be remanufactured on a time and materials basis rather than at a fi xed exchange cost. Norweco cannot guarantee that the current exchange program will always be available, however, that is our goal, and we are happy to offer it at this time.
Singulair installations are also protected with an initial two year service program included in the cost of the system. A series of service and adjustment inspections by our local factory-trained personnel are prescheduled for the fi rst two years of operation and included in the purchase price. “Progress through service since 1906” sums it up nicely. A quality product - serviced by a local expert - has earned Norweco a reputation for excellence.

How the BK 2000 System manages the treatment process
Heavy-Duty Access Cover
The cover, which is available in black or green to blend into your landscape, securely interlocks with the top rib of the Settling and Retention Basin. A locktab is provided to secure the cover and clamp. Unlike conventional treatment systems that are hard to access, the BK 2000 is easily maintained from grade. Routine annual inspections do not require tank pumping trucks, backhoes or confined space entry equipment.
You can schedule inspections through a simple service contract with your local
Norweco dealer or distri butor, or with their authorized agent.
Baffled Perimeter Zone
The second of our 9 settling zones, the
Baffled Perimeter Zone, is positioned immediately downstream from the
Molded Filter Media to capture any contaminants that may have cleared the filter media.
Flow Deck
The Flow Deck with an adjustable outlet weir is just downstream of the six flow ports. Liquids entering and exiting the
BK 2000 are held, controlled and directed by this Flow Deck.
Settling and Retention Basin
Constructed of corrosion-resistant polyethylene, the core basin is built to treat wastewater for a lifetime. Need more storage capacity? Simply add risers and more ring sections.
Safety/Service Guard
Located beneath the Access Cover, it prevents any accidental entry into the Basin and functions as a service funnel for routine maintenance.
Removable Moisture/Vapor Shield
This shield prevents condensation from entering the system. Built-in collars secure our optional chemical feed tubes.
Molded Filter Media
The Molded Filter Media traps and retains suspended solids that would otherwise plug your filter bed. These easy-to-clean filters function reliably for the life of the system.
Compartmented Settling Zone
It contains 42 chamber plates and 329 feet of kinetic filtration to establish a multidirectional plug flow path through the system.

Consider the facts:
• Dual-pass design assures the integrity of the treatment process. All liquid flowing through the system is treated twice by the UV lamp, once on the way down and again on the way back up.
This doubles the exposure to UV light and greatly improves treatment.
• All electrical components are contained in a NEMA
4X weatherproof electrical enclosure. These components control the disinfection process and assure treatment integrity. The gasketed cover is secured with screws to seal the enclosure.
• Our long-life lamp is designed and tested to be superior to competitive products currently used in onsite wastewater treatment. The bulb is stronger and provides more complete disinfection.
• The lighting ballast is contained within the gasketed electrical enclosure to assure maximum life. Competitive systems leave the ballast exposed to the treatment environment.
• Disinfection quality is assured by a corrosion resistant solid state circuit board that continually monitors system performance. A current sensing circuit automatically gives immediate notification should a service interruption occur.
• Easy to install and maintain. The entire UV process is contained within a convenient ABS disinfection chamber. Optional concrete or highdensity polyethylene enclosures are also available to provide additional treatment.
• No chemical residual or harmful by-products. The
AT 1500 UV disinfection system provides superior treatment and its performance is independent of the pH, temperature and ammonia content of the effluent being treated.
• Low electrical usage. The high efficiency electrical controls use very little electricity.
• Inexpensive to install and operate. The AT 1500 can be installed for less than some chemical feed systems, and requires no recurring chemical purchase. The only maintenance requirement is periodic cleaning of the Teflon cover.
• Can be used to eliminate contaminants not readily removed by chemical treatment. Advanced
Oxidation Processes (AOP) can be constructed by supplementing the AT 1500 system with ozone or

Backed by an extensive library of drawings, project research and decades of hands-on experience, we focus on keeping you on schedule and under budget.
The exclusive multi-tiered flow deck delivers consistent chemical treatment, regardless of flow rate
Flow surges are common in any treatment system.
This variation in flow rate can cause major problems for conventional tablet feeders and manually adjusted gas or liquid chemical feed systems. That’s why we engineered a multi-tiered flow deck to enhance the fluid dynamics of the liquids passing through the system. During low flow, usually at night, liquids are directed through the inert drainage tier, the lowest tier of the feeder. It forms a narrow hydraulic channel that increases the velocity of the flow for uniform tablet exposure. When flow increases during morning hours, the liquid flow rises to the intermediate flow tier. It creates a flume to accelerate the flow passing the tablets. When the flow rate is greater than the capacity of this intermediate tier, liquids rise to the upper flow tier.
That tier causes the liquid to lose velocity, preventing excessive tablet consumption.

Residential Disinfecting Tablets
Blue Crystal disinfecting tablets are the first microbiocide specifically developed for use in residential wastewater treatment applications. Using a proprietary grade of calcium hypochlorite as the active ingredient, Blue Crystal tablets are manufactured to provide a consistent chlorine dose. To insure the effective treatment of residential wastewater flows, Blue Crystal tablets automatically adjust their dissolve rate in direct proportion to the rate of incoming flow. Residential treatment plant owners and operators can finally meet regulatory disinfection requirements with a product that is inexpensive, safe and easy to use. Formulated to maintain positive disinfection during low, sustained, variable and intermittent flow rates that are common to residential systems,
Blue Crystal disinfection tablets provide a very quick, effective and long-lasting bacteria kill.
Safe to use in all domestic wastewater treatment systems, Blue Crystal tablets are approved and listed with the
United States Environmental Protection Agency for the treatment of wastewater. Designed to provide rapid disinfection, the potent formulation of Blue Crystal reduces 99% of bacteria within the first ten minutes of contact. Blue Crystal tablets help maintain wastewater pH levels above 6.8 and dissipate quickly after complete disinfection, leaving no hazardous by-products in the effluent. Acid based products, such as common swimming pool tablets, disinfect slowly and produce a non-degradable chlorine residual while lowering effluent pH. Even occasional use of these acid based products in wastewater treatment can result in the discharge of inadequately treated wastewater and create potentially harmful or hazardous gases. Blue Crystal tablets set a new performance standard for disinfection by offering the highest level of effectiveness, convenience and safety for homeowners, regulatory officials and the environment.

Bio-Neutralizer dechlorination tablets are uniquely formulated to provide an efficient and cost effective way of removing free and combined chlorine from the effluent of wastewater treatment systems. Scientifically blended to protect dissolved oxygen levels and to reduce wicking or swelling in the feed tubes, Bio-Neutralizer dechlorination tablets automatically maintain a flow dependent application rate, up to intermittent peak flow factors of four. Optimum significant runoff period of the treatment system is six hours. When used in a Bio-Dynamic tablet feeder or other approved gravity flow tablet system, Bio-Neutralizer dechlorination tablets provide a stable and consistent release of environmentally safe sodium sulfite. A controlled dosage effectively reduces the chlorine residual to non-detectable levels while maintaining overall effluent quality.
High concentrations of residual sodium sulfite can degrade beneficial dissolved oxygen levels, increase
BOD5 and reduce overall effluent quality. The superior formulation and predictable performance of
Bio-Neutralizer dechlorination tablets provides a consistent reduction or elimination of chlorine residual without significantly reducing dissolved oxygen. Packed in 25 lb. and 45 lb. DOT approved containers, Bio-Neutralizer dechlorination tablets are a preferred alternative to costly liquid, hazardous gas or mechanical dechlorination systems. Bio-Neutralizer dechlorination tablets, when used with Norweco's Bio-Sanitizer disinfecting tablets or Blue Crystal residential disinfecting tablets, insure that only a stable, high quality effluent is returned to the environment. If your treatment system requires dechlorination or if you're located near environmentally sensitive surface water and want to add a dechlorination system, consider the advantages of Norweco's Bio-Neutralizer dechlorination tablets.

Biological Remediation Tablets
Bio-Perc biological remediation tablets rejuvenate failing wastewater treatment systems by reducing or eliminating organic buildup in distribution lines and disposal processes. Formulated for use in all residential and small commercial treatment systems, Bio-Perc tablets enhance the operational life of leach fields, surface sand filters, subsurface sand filters, sand trenches, cesspools, mounds, low pressure distribution systems, evapotranspiration beds, constructed wetlands, septic tank effluent pump
(STEP) systems and any other type of system prone to failure from the buildup of organic solids. When incorporated into a regular maintenance program, Bio-Perc tablets restore failing wastewater treatment systems to proper operation and prevent the failure of new systems.
Sand filters and soil-based disposal systems often receive more organic material than they can oxidize. Excessive organic loading reduces system capacity and ultimately leads to the total failure of the treatment system.
Chemical shock treatments or mechanical remedies, such as blasting the tile field with high pressure air or water, are expensive and the benefits last only a short time. Bio-Perc tablets provide continuous, long-term treatment and are safe, easy and economical to use.
Bio-Perc tablets add billions of beneficial microorganisms to accelerate the biological digestion that naturally occurs in wastewater disposal systems. Dissolving in direct proportion to the incoming flow rate, Bio-Perc tablets can be dosed by any gravity-flow feeder or added directly into a distribution box, pump station or dosing chamber. Providing continuous treatment on demand, Bio-Perc tablets allow failing treatment systems to function as originally designed for only a fraction of the replacement cost. Bio-Perc biological remediation tablets are available from your local Norweco dealer or distributor in a conveniently packaged, DOT approved and child resistant 10 lb. resealable polyethylene pail.

EFFLUENT SAMPLING FOR
RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT SYSTEMS
For various reasons, many wastewater treatment systems periodically require effluent sampling and characterization.
Whether sampling is done to verify compliance with specific effluent limits or simply to indicate if the system is operating properly, effluent sampling must follow specific procedures and guidelines to insure accuracy. Analysis of improperly collected or contaminated effluent samples will result in data that could lead to an incorrect conclusion regarding treatment system operation. Conversely, laboratory analysis of properly collected effluent samples will generate data that can be used to evaluate actual treatment system performance. “The objective of sampling is to collect a portion of material small enough in volume to be transported conveniently and yet large enough for analytical purposes while still accurately representing the material being sampled.” 1 Wastewater sampling is generally performed by one of two methods, grab sampling or composite sampling. Each method has specific limitations on what tests can be performed and how the data is used.
GRAB SAMPLING
A grab sample (sometimes called an individual discrete sample) indicates that all of the test material is collected at one time. Grab samples are collected by manually removing a quantity of effluent from the flow stream at a single point in time during the flow day. As such, a grab sample reflects the effluent conditions only at the point in time the sample was collected. Therefore, by definition, a single grab sample can never be used for long term performance evaluation of a wastewater treatment system. However, there are a number of very specific places where grab sampling must be used.
“Grab samples serve to characterize variations of the waste stream over time. They also allow analysis of unstable parameters soon after sample collection. Examples of such parameters include pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), chlorine residual [and] temperature.” 2
COMPOSITE SAMPLING
Composite sampling consists of collecting, at specific time or volume intervals, a number of individual samples in one single container. Composite samples are almost always collected by the use of automated sampling and storage equipment, which will refrigerate the sample over the entire time of collection. A composite sampler withdraws a small volume of effluent periodically throughout the sampling period, usually 24 hours. This equipment is designed to automatically purge the sampling pump, transfer a programmed amount of effluent into a single storage container and purge the sampling apparatus again to remove material that could affect the results. Usually, refrigeration of the composite sample must continue during the entire time of collection and transportation to the laboratory. In order to prepare the sample for analysis, the total volume of composited effluent is thoroughly and completely mixed.
Collected and analyzed in this manner, the blended composite sample represents the wastewater characteristics over the entire time or the specific volume of flow.
GRAB SAMPLING VS. COMPOSITE SAMPLING
Monthly operating reports, performance evaluations or compliance monitoring forms (used by municipal treatment systems) usually record performance data as individual daily values. In most cases, these data points represent the analysis of a composite effluent sample collected over a 24 hour period. As these results are shown by a single value, individual daily data points are frequently confused with data from grab samples. However, a composite sample consisting of a quantity of programmed individual collection events is not the same as one or more grab samples. A proper composite sample will result in one data point that represents the effluent quality over the time of collection or volume of flow. Even when the data from grab samples is averaged, that one data point represents the effluent flow only at specific moments in time when the samples were collected. Due to the differences in how the samples are typically collected and analyzed, an average of multiple grab samples does not provide valid information regarding system operation and performance the way composite sampling does.
The analysis of grab samples is necessary for certain effluent parameters, but the primary indicators of system performance including CBOD
5
(carbonaceous five day biochemical oxygen demand), TSS (total suspended solids) and TN (total nitrogen) require the collection and analysis of 24 hour composite samples. The cost and logistics of proper composite sample collection make it tempting to use grab samples for all evaluations. Performance testing by grab sampling is a blatant misapplication of technology and has no basis for use with treatment systems of any size.
However, it is even more inaccurate when used with residential treatment systems. The residential sewage characteristics and flow patterns compound the degree of error when residential treatment system performance is judged by the use of a grab sample. The table on page six lists specific effluent parameters and whether grab or composite sampling is required for proper evaluation.
EFFLUENT SAMPLING FOR RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT SYSTEMS (Page 2 of 6)
MUNICIPAL FLOW PATTERNS
Municipal wastewater treatment systems receive their flow over a 24 hour period, and the volume and strength characteristics of the incoming waste vary over the daily flow pattern. By their nature, biological treatment systems fluctuate slightly in their performance due to the growth and lag phases of the microorganisms, particularly if there are large fluctuations in the volume and strength of the influent during different periods of loading. Both of these factors result in a varying amount of impurities contained in the effluent discharged from these treatment systems over the course of the day. In municipal systems, these variations are minimized by the blending of incoming waste from a number of different homes or sources combined into one treatment system of very large capacity. Even so, the Water
Environment Federation recommends that all of the primary performance indicators for municipal systems be evaluated by using composite effluent samples.
RESIDENTIAL FLOW PATTERNS
Residential treatment units receive a frequent number of short hydraulic surges throughout the day followed by intermittent periods of no flow whatsoever. Additionally, the wastewater characteristics range from nearly potable water characteristics (i.e. rinsing fresh vegetables), to graywater from doing laundry and dishes, to full strength sewage. There is little opportunity for these individual flows to be blended into a homogenous flow stream of average characteristics. The changing volume and strength of the wastewater will maximize normal fluctuations in the effluent produced by the treatment system. For example, flow surges that are present in most individual home flows will often create a washout of substantial amounts of treatment system suspended solids.
Therefore, a grab sample of the effluent taken at only one specific time throughout the daily flow pattern is not representative of system performance over the entire day.
“Failure to obtain a representative sample can produce invalid data, leading to erroneous process control decisions.” 2 The type and quantity of samples collected should be determined by the data required. For example, the Code of Federal Regulations stipulates that the performance of secondary treatment systems should be evaluated by tabulating 30-day averages of system effluent.
As it is impossible to judge long term treatment system performance by a single discrete grab sample, or even a single 24 hour composite sample, a 30-day regimen of proper samples must be collected, analyzed and tabulated before system performance can be evaluated.
sampling techniques. Each individual daily composite sample is collected over 24 hours by withdrawing an aliquot
(a measured volume of sample) of effluent at 80 separate times throughout the day. If samples were collected every calendar day, each 30-day average applied to the pass/fail criteria would actually represent 2,400 individual sampling events, collected over an entire month.
Statistically, this could present some interesting possibilities for any program requiring 30-day averages. Theoretically, an individual daily composite sample could have test results as high as 871 mg/L TSS and still compute to a 30-day average of 30 mg/L. Within the single composite sample analyzed at 871 mg/L, an individual aliquot (the equivalent of a grab sample) could contain as high as 69,601 mg/L and still be analyzed as a daily composite sample of 871 mg/L. Of course, this is a practical impossibility. However, it does demonstrate that an individual grab sample parameter could test excessively high, and yet the system could still be operating in compliance with federal standards or better. Considered individually, a number of grab samples taken from a residential treatment unit might appear to indicate a system that is not operating properly, when in reality, the average effluent could actually be of very high quality. Composite samples, while requiring electromechanical equipment and more complex sampling methods, will provide the only accurate indicator of system performance. For these reasons, professional wastewater treatment system operators and third party certifiers continue to rely on composite sampling in order to conduct evaluations that accurately measure system performance.
SAMPLING PROCEDURES
Proper collection of an effluent sample, by either technique, requires specific procedures to be followed. A grab sample of effluent must be a free falling sample, collected from a cleaned effluent pipe, in a proper sample bottle, stabilized during transport, stored for a limited period of time and analyzed by specific laboratory methods. When using a composite sampler, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to insure an accurate, representative sample is collected.
An automatic sampler may require withdrawing the sample from a pipe or channel that is cleaned daily. Samples should be collected “at points where the sample stream or tank is well mixed.” 3 This insures the effluent is moving with enough velocity to prevent the settling out and accumulation of solids. If solids are allowed to settle and accumulate, as would occur in any effluent sump, sampling previously accumulated solids mixed with the effluent is not representative of either past or current operating conditions.
It is wholly inaccurate, bad science and irresponsible to evaluate system performance by the analysis of data collected from one, or even several, effluent grab samples.
The most widely used performance evaluation for residential treatment units (NSF/ANSI Standard 40) evaluates performance by tabulating data collected via composite

EFFLUENT SAMPLING FOR RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT SYSTEMS (Page 3 of 6)
Whether collecting a grab sample or preparing a composite sample for analysis, proper procedures must be followed:
1) Personal safety should be the first consideration in any sampling protocol. The same safety precautions exercised in any area of wastewater treatment should be taken during effluent sample collection. Proper eye protection and disposable gloves should be worn.
Always wash hands thoroughly following any sample collection and especially before handling any food.
The use of hand sanitizing lotion is recommended.
2) A properly sized and cleaned sampling bottle must be prepared before going to the site. The bottle, cap and sampling equipment must be sterilized if the sample is to be analyzed for bacteriological activity.
3) The effluent sample should be tested at the time of collection for the presence of chlorine. If the testing laboratory needs to analyze chlorinated effluent, the presence of chlorine should be noted on the sample bottle. Prior to analysis, only sufficient dechlorination agent should be added to reach the chlorination endpoint. In past practice, many laboratories used prepared sample bottles with a dechlorination agent already present in the bottle. It has since been discovered that if the amount of dechlorination agent exceeds the chlorine demand in the effluent, false positive BOD
5
and CBOD
5
readings can result.
4) For the parameters that require collection of a grab sample, several considerations must be followed: a) The location of sample collection is extremely important. A grab sample must be free falling from the end of the effluent pipe or taken at a point where the flow stream is uniform with enough velocity to prevent the deposition of solids in the line. “Where samples are to be collected from flowing pipes, keep the sample line as short as possible.” 2 b) The effluent pipe in a gravity flow residential treatment system will rarely flow full of effluent.
Typically, the effluent flows through only a small section of the bottom of the pipe. The remainder of the pipe above the normal flow line is exposed to all types of environmental factors. Dust, leaves, plant spores, insects and small animals may have access to a partially full effluent pipe. This foreign material can, and routinely does, collect in the pipe during a low flow/no flow period and could be washed into the sample bottle when routine flow is present. For this reason, the interior and exterior of the pipe in the vicinity of the sampling area must be cleaned and sterilized prior to collection of an effluent sample.
This will include removal of grass or weeds around the effluent pipe and cleaning the inside and outside of the pipe with soap and water followed by a disinfectant (i.e. bleach or peroxide).
c) A residential treatment system can be effectively sampled only when there is an effluent flow. Due to intermittent residential flow patterns, there may not be effluent flow at the time designated to collect a grab sample. Hydraulic flow may be induced into the treatment system in order to generate effluent for grab sampling. With detention time designed into any wastewater treatment system, water flow introduced into the system inlet or pretreatment chamber in order to generate effluent, will undergo full treatment before reaching the system outlet.
Remember that the effluent grab sample is not representative of the average flow and therefore can not be used to evaluate long term system performance. Also, keep in mind that the induced flow must be typical of the normal incoming flow rate. A surge flow into most wastewater treatment systems will create a washout of solids that can be carried into the sample container. This effect will skew certain test results dramatically.
d) Once the effluent is free flowing and the prepared sample bottle is in position to collect the effluent, carefully place the mouth of the sample bottle directly into the falling stream of effluent and collect the sample. Be careful not to touch the effluent pipe with the mouth of the sample bottle. Fill the sample bottle nearly to the top. Leave an airspace above the sample liquid of approximately 1% to 5% of the container volume to allow for thermal expansion during shipment.
5) Extreme care must be used when handling an open sample bottle to prevent contamination from environmental factors. Airborne dust, insects, blades of grass or any material coming in contact with the sample bottle or cap, other than free falling effluent, will contaminate the sample. Even a properly collected sample can easily become contaminated if the container is allowed to touch the sides of a basin or access riser, or if dirt or other material is allowed to enter the bottle.
6) The volume of sample required for proper analysis varies according to the test performed. Refer to the table on page six for sample volume guidelines.
7) Minimum sample sizes are recommended by
Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and
Wastewater, and other sources. However, laboratory experience, familiarity with the treatment system being tested and the number of analyses required for a given effluent may allow collection and submittal of smaller volume samples. The minimum sample size indicated in the table on page six considers only the volume required for an individual parameter. Confer with a local laboratory to establish the volume requirements needed based on the total number of parameters requiring analysis.
EFFLUENT SAMPLING FOR RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT SYSTEMS (Page 4 of 6)

9)
Once the sample has been collected, carefully remove the bottle. Be sure not to touch the mouth of the bottle against any other surface. The sample can then be analyzed for field parameters, if required, or capped and stored as necessary.
The sample bottle containing the grab or composite sample should be carefully labeled to include the following information: a) A unique sample identification number b) The source/location of sample collection (i.e. final effluent, discharge pipe, etc.) c) The date and time the sample was collected d) The name of the technician who collected the effluent sample e) The name of the treatment system owner where the sample was taken f) Whether a grab or composite effluent sample was collected g) The presence or absence of chlorine in the effluent sample h) All parameters requiring analysis, such as CBOD
5
TSS, etc.
, i) Listing of any required preservative added (see the table on page six) j) The results of any analysis that needed to be performed onsite b) Samples collected to test for the presence of coliform or other bacteriological examinations must be collected in a sterile bottle and immediately checked for the presence of chlorine. Any chlorine present must be removed or stabilized prior to storage or transport of the sample. Storing a bacteriological sample with chlorine present allows additional “contact time” and may result in a false positive indication of disinfection efficiency.
Conversely, stabilizing or removing the chlorine allows the process of bacterial regrowth to begin.
Therefore, stabilized samples must be immediately cooled to 4 o C and stored for a maximum of 6 hours, before significant bacterial regrowth occurs.
c) The point of sample collection is also critical. If a contact chamber is designed for effective bacteriological reduction and is followed by a dechlorination system at the contact tank outlet, bacteria regrowth due to environmental exposure can begin to occur in a long outlet pipe and could be significant in a downstream component, such as a post-aeration chamber. Therefore, samples for bacteriological analysis must be taken at the end of contact time, but upstream of any other treatment or storage process.
10) For parameters not requiring immediate testing, the analysis should be performed as soon as possible, using proper storage and sample preservation during transport. This almost always involves cooling the sample to inhibit further biochemical reactions occurring during transport and storage. Chilling the liquid to the required temperature and maintaining it during all transport and storage time is essential for
11) sample integrity. Icing down the sample is preferred as rapid chilling takes place without expensive mechanical refrigeration equipment, and there is no danger of over-chilling and freezing the sample.
Invalid data will result if the sample is held for a longer period of time than the guidelines permit. For this reason, travel time, laboratory operating hours, weekend or holiday schedules all need to be considered with any sampling program.
12) Sampling for the level of chlorine, coliform bacteria or for the performance of dechlorination equipment requires some special considerations:
13) Special precautions and record keeping are required for any samples taken for compliance with an NPDES
(National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permit or other regulatory requirement. Be sure to have the analysis performed by a laboratory certified for the specific testing required. Analytical data must be logged in the required format and on the form appropriate to the proper agency.
a) Where legal action or other serious considerations are dependent on the results of sampling to determine system performance, chain-of-custody procedures to track possession of the sample are required. These procedures usually require a sample bottle to be closed with a tamper-evident seal immediately after collection. A written record on the chain-of-custody form requires each person transporting or handling the sample to certify the specific period of time that the sample is in their possession. The completed form insures that proper handling of the sample has been documented. The chain-of-custody record should remain with the sample during laboratory analysis and be filed with the permanent log of lab results.
a) Due to the unstable nature of chlorine, samples collected for this parameter must be analyzed immediately. Storing samples in an open container allows the chlorine to volatilize into free air.
Samples stored in a closed container can continue chemical reactions that can change the chlorine into other compounds.

EFFLUENT SAMPLING FOR RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT SYSTEMS (Page 5 of 6)
LOCATION OF SAMPLE SITE
While the limitations of analyzing effluent collected by grab sampling have been discussed, the use of grab samples for evaluation of a residential treatment unit is further compromised if the grab sample is not collected from effluent with sufficient velocity to keep solids in suspension.
“Avoid taking samples at points where solids settling occurs or floating debris is present. These situations occur normally in quiescent areas, where the velocity of the flow has decreased.” 3 For this reason, under no circumstances should system performance be evaluated by a grab sample of effluent taken from a pump chamber, distribution box or any device that contains a sump. Especially due to the intermittent flow patterns that are typical of individual residences, effluent solids tend to settle out in a sump when allowed enough time and a low velocity. Even the few solids present in a high quality treatment system effluent can settle out in a sump during a no flow period. If only a very few solids settle out in the sump during a no flow period today, they can remain and accumulate with additional solids settling out over successive days. This will result in an amount of solids accumulated in the sump that are a gross misrepresentation of what the treatment system effluent has in suspension during any given flow day.
Using a mathematical model will allow us to put these considerations into perspective (see Figure 1). At 500 GPD, a residential treatment unit will discharge approximately
90,000 gallons of effluent over the six month period between routine service inspections. In our mathematical model, this treatment system is generating a high quality effluent of 10 mg/L CBOD
5
and 10 mg/L TSS. In the flow path of this model, the treatment system effluent passes through a common 12" by 12" distribution box containing a 2" sump below the effluent discharge pipe.
In our mathematical model, we will assume that due to the intermittent flow pattern of a residential treatment unit, 0.1%
(0.001) of the total effluent suspended solids will settle out and accumulate while effluent passes through the sump.
(While it is likely that a higher percentage of solids will settle out, especially during an overnight period of no flow, we will consider that on the average, only 1 out of each 1,000 effluent solids will settle out in the distribution box.
Therefore, 999 out of every 1,000 effluent solids will stay in suspension and are carried out with the flow.) In this model, these parameters will remain in a steady state for six continuous months, corresponding to the period between service visits. After six months of operation, the sump in the bottom of the distribution box has accumulated 1 out of each 1,000 effluent solids that were contained in the 90,000 gallons of high quality effluent that has passed through the distribution box. If the contents of the sump in the bottom of the distribution box are then mixed, collected and analyzed as a grab sample, the data will show an effluent containing more than 700 mg/L of total suspended solids.
This obviously erroneous data would seem to indicate that the effluent contains more suspended solids than typical residential influent flow. In reality, this treatment system is actually discharging an effluent of 10 mg/L total suspended solids. With this model, it is easy to understand that judging treatment system performance by dipping into any effluent sump and stirring the contents (effluent and accumulated solids) is totally invalid.
FIGURE 1
It is understood that under absolute conditions, some degradation of the accumulated solids will occur during the length of time the solids are retained in the sump. Also, some of the organic material processed in the treatment system is converted into suspended solids, prohibiting an exact solids mass balance to be performed. While it would be scientifically impossible to ascertain the exact degree of bio-degradation or conversion of organic matter, neither process will be of enough significance to affect the conclusion. It is absolutely certain that stirring or mixing the contents of a sump and analyzing this mixture will result in data showing effluent solids that are hundreds, if not thousands, of times greater than data from samples collected by proper composite sampling techniques. These same principals hold true whether the effluent sample is taken directly from a distribution box, a pump chamber, a chlorine contact chamber, a post-aeration chamber, a roadside ditch or any structure that retains effluent below the flow line. Even a small sump, such as a 4" diameter pipe cross capped at the bottom, will accumulate effluent solids over a short period of time. Use of this pipe cross in conjunction with a composite sampler designed for automatic operation will still require the cross to be flushed clean each day. This is usually done when the operator is collecting the daily sample and checking the equipment operation.
When properly performed, effluent sampling is the most important tool available to evaluate treatment system performance, make operational adjustments, protect the environment and insure the health and safety of all.
However, the proper techniques for collecting and analyzing any effluent sample must be followed before an accurate, informed conclusion can be made.

COMMERCIAL, MUNICIPAL, INDUSTRIAL AND RESIDENTIAL
FLOW EQUALIZATION FOR WASTEWATER
TREATMENT SYSTEMS
In the past 50 years many advances have been made in the nature and extent of pollution control through the use of improved commercial, municipal, industrial and residential wastewater treatment facilities. Each new refinement and process, while improving overall treatment efficiency, has been hampered by the widely varying nature of wastewater types, strengths and fluctuations in volume. Just in the last 25 years, serious efforts have been undertaken to develop new systems, equipment and components designed to reduce or eliminate the negative effects of volume and strength variations in wastewater. These effects have led to the development and widespread use of flow equalization equipment.
Flow equalization is the process of controlling hydraulic velocity, or flow rate, through a wastewater treatment system. The equalization of flow prevents short term, high volumes of incoming flow, called surges, from forcing solids and organic material out of the treatment process. Flow equalization also controls the flow through each stage of the treatment system, allowing adequate time for the physical, biological and chemical processes to take place.
Published in 1974, the USEPA TECHNOLOGY
TRANSFER REPORT states “The cyclic nature of wastewater flows in terms of volume and strength is well recognized.” It goes on to say “improved efficiency, reliability and control are possible when physical, biological and chemical processes are operated at or near uniform conditions. For this reason, flow equalization is employed.”
Since the mid-1970’s, flow equalization has been widely used for commercial, municipal and industrial wastewater treatment systems, both in the design of new facilities and also to modernize and upgrade existing systems.
This technology has only recently begun to be used in residential treatment systems. The flow patterns of residential treatment systems are intermittent and variable in nature, generating frequent hydraulic and organic surges.
These surges can result in large quantities of solids being washed out of the system. The SEPTIC SYSTEM
OWNER’S GUIDE, published in 1999 by the University of
Minnesota Extension Service, states “for complete and uniform treatment of wastes, the system needs time to work.
The ideal situation would be to have wastewater enter the system as evenly as possible throughout the day and week.”
The GUIDE continues to explain that when a surge occurs
“suspended solids are carried into the soil treatment system, clogging soil pores and preventing adequate treatment.”
In 1970, the National Sanitation Foundation developed a model of daily residential flow patterns for use in testing onsite treatment systems. This model flow pattern, which is still in use today, consists of three periods of concentrated flow, alternating with varied periods of no flow.
This pattern was purposely structured to reflect the most severe flow rate fluctuations that are typical of individual residences. In 1982, a separate test procedure was completed to include stress sequences. These stresses consisted of prolonged no flow periods combined with surge flows several times the daily loading rate. In 1990, the stress sequences were incorporated into the residential flow pattern to reflect the less frequent but more harmful variations in flow that systems may very well experience.
A residential treatment system that can reduce these surges and properly process the wastewater will consistently have higher quality effluent and longer operational life.
When flow equalization is incorporated into a wastewater treatment system, numerous benefits are produced:
1.
In the case of a septic tank or pretreatment tank, gravity separation of solids is greatly enhanced. This prevents short-circuiting and eliminates excess solids from being carried downstream into the secondary treatment facility or disposal system.
2.
When a secondary biological or chemical treatment system is used, elimination of hydraulic surges guarantees adequate process retention time and a much higher degree of treatment.
3.
Clarifiers following secondary treatment will have greater solids separation and improved effluent quality.
If an internal filtration device is used, solids loading to the filtration device will be reduced, resulting in longer filter life and higher effluent quality.
4.
The operation of a downstream sand filter, media filter or constructed wetland is enhanced by more consistent loading, the equalization of surge flows and the removal of excess solids.
5.
All types of effluent disposal systems, including tile fields, mounds, irrigation systems, etc., will operate longer and more efficiently because organic and hydraulic surges are eliminated and system overloading is prevented.
FLOW EQUALIZATION FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS (Cont.)
Norweco’s patented Bio-Kinetic System incorporates non-mechanical flow equalization, effluent filtration, settling, solids storage and chemical addition in one easily installed assembly that is serviceable from grade. The system provides flow equalization for wastewater treatment systems without the use of pumps or holding tanks, with no moving parts and no electricity required.
This is accomplished by storing incoming flow surges in the upstream treatment tank. Six flow control ports in the Bio-Kinetic
System meter the stored liquid through all treatment processes at a controlled rate. In a typical septic system, daily residential flow is equalized an average of more than 50% when a Bio-Kinetic System is used. This revolutionary device is an integral component of the Singulair Wastewater Treatment Plant. In addition, the Bio-Kinetic System can be easily incorporated into any onsite treatment and disposal process through the use of a Bio-Kinetic Wastewater Management System.

The above chart clearly demonstrates the important role flow equalization plays in wastewater treatment. Incorporating flow equalization into residential onsite treatment systems makes any system perform better and prevents premature failure.
Hydraulic surges are produced in the home every day through the combined use of bathtubs, dishwashers, disposals, clothes washers, shower facilities and a variety of other water using appliances. When these surges occur, a residential treatment system without flow equalization is compromised and often will not provide adequate treatment. Flow equalization allows commercial, municipal, industrial and residential wastewater systems to deliver the treatment they were designed to provide.

SERVICE PR
CONTROL CENTER WITH
MCD
®
TECHNOLOGY
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
The contractor shall furnish and install one complete Service Pro control center with MCD technology as described in the following specifications. Monitoring, Compliance and Diagnostic
(MCD) functions for the domestic wastewater treatment system and auxiliary equipment shall be accomplished by combining solid state microprocessor technology with optional advanced telemetry and web-based data acquisition. The control center shall operate the Singulair wastewater treatment plant and monitor the entire system, including up to three auxiliary treatment components. Once commissioned, the telemetry system shall communicate with the Service
Pro website and monitoring center to record all maintenance and alarm details. The website shall function as the user interface to manage all operational data with password protected access available to distributors, service providers, regulatory agencies and homeowners.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
The Service Pro control center with MCD technology shall be UL Listed and provide Monitoring,
Compliance and Diagnostic functions for the Singulair wastewater treatment plant and auxiliary equipment using a microprocessor based platform. The microprocessor shall contain nonvolatile memory to prevent loss of programming in the event of a power failure. When used with the
Singulair Model 960 system, the programmed run cycle shall not permit the aerator to be “off” for more than thirty minutes per hour. When used with the Singulair Model TNT system, the programmed run cycle for the aerator shall be sixty minutes “on” and sixty minutes “off.” The control center shall be housed in a NEMA rated electrical enclosure designed specifically for outdoor use. Control centers that do not include integral telemetry equipment require multiple enclosures with interconnecting wiring and shall not be considered for this application.
? MODEL
MONITORING FUNCTIONS
The Service Pro control center shall monitor the operation of the
Singulair system and up to three auxiliary treatment components.
The performance of the Singulair aerator shall be constantly monitored to detect any aerator over current, aerator under current or open motor condition. If any one of these conditions is detected, power to the aerator shall be interrupted, a diagnostic sequence shall begin and the visual alarm shall activate. After a factory programmed recovery interval, an automatic restart attempt shall be initiated. If normal aerator operation does not resume during 24 programmed recovery and restart cycles, the audible alarm shall activate and, if the telemetry system has been enabled, the control center shall report the specific condition to the Service Pro monitoring center. In the event that any of the auxiliary inputs detect an operational problem, the audible and visual alarms shall immediately activate and, if the telemetry system has been enabled, the control center shall report the specific alarm condition to the monitoring center. The distributor shall be automatically notified by the Service Pro monitoring center of the specific alarm condition using phone, fax or email.
COMPLIANCE FUNCTIONS
SERVICE PRO CONTROL CENTER
MODEL 960 SYSTEM
The Service Pro control center shall insure compliance with regulatory requirements by confirming normal system operation, providing remote system monitoring and automatically recording operating data and service visits. Distributors shall have the ability to grant regulatory agencies access to reports about installations in their jurisdiction that have been recorded on the
Service Pro website. The optional integrated telemetry system shall enable the Service Pro control center to communicate with the monitoring center via standard residential telephone or Internet service. By use of the alarm reset button, the monitoring center shall be notified of the beginning and end of any service visit. The monitoring center shall provide a time and date stamped record of each service visit and post the data to the Service Pro website. If telemetry is enabled, the control panel shall automatically contact the monitoring center monthly and deliver a heartbeat call indicating proper system operation. If the heartbeat call is not received, the monitoring center shall provide notification to the service provider indicating the system has not confirmed proper operation and a site visit is required. Control centers and/or telemetry systems without the heartbeat feature do not provide proactive confirmation of system compliance and shall not be considered for this application.
DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTIONS
The diagnostic functions of the Service Pro panel shall insure automatic identification of any alarm condition from the Singulair system or accessory equipment. Excessive load on the aerator from any cause, including effluent pump failure, a Bio-Kinetic system requiring service or system high water, shall result in the control center visual alarm indicating an aerator over current condition. An open electrical circuit anywhere in the control center or aerator, a broken service wire between the control center and the aerator, open motor windings within the aerator or an aerator that has been left unplugged shall activate the visual alarm indicating an aerator under current condition. Any aerator alarm condition shall activate the diagnostic sequence during which the control center shall allow for a temporary condition to correct itself before a call is made to the remote monitoring center. The diagnostic sequence shall include up to 24 automatic restart attempts within a two hour period. During this diagnostic period when the control center is attempting to automatically restart the Singulair aerator, pushing the reset button shall result in a manual restart attempt. Any successful restart attempt shall return the system to normal operation and the visual alarm shall deactivate. If the condition has not been corrected after 24 manual or automatic restart attempts, the control center shall activate the audible alarm and, if the telemetry system has been enabled, notify the monitoring center of the specific alarm code.
Any auxiliary equipment malfunction shall immediately activate the control center audible and visual alarms. If enabled, the telemetry system shall then call the monitoring center to identify the specific auxiliary alarm.
CONTROL CENTER COMPONENTS
The Service Pro control center shall use a microprocessor based platform to control and monitor the wastewater treatment system.
Nonvolatile memory built into the solid state circuit board shall prevent programming loss in the event of a power failure to the facility being served. The pre-wired controls shall be mounted in a lockable NEMA rated enclosure designed specifically for outdoor use. The corrosion resistant enclosure shall have knockouts molded into the bottom surface to facilitate installation of electrical conduit and the system phone or network line. Each control center shall be a UL Listed assembly and shall include a time clock, main alarm light, reset button, power switch, power light, phone/network light, aerator alarm light and three auxiliary alarm lights. The power switch shall control power for all Service Pro control center and aerator functions. The green power light shall be lit when the controls are energized and is the only light that will be illuminated during normal system operation. The yellow phone/ network light shall be illuminated when the telemetry system is communicating. The red aerator alarm light shall be illuminated
BOTTOM OF ENCLOSURE WITH KNOCKOUTS when normal operation of the aerator has been interrupted. The red auxiliary input lights shall illuminate only when the respective optional device requires service. The main alarm circuit of the

Extension risers shall be connected to the mounting casting and sealed with a polyisoprene gasket and injection molded compression clamp.
BIO-KINETIC
®
TERTIARY DEVICE
A Bio-Kinetic tertiary device shall be connected to the outlet coupling within each retention basin. Suspended and settleable solids and BOD shall be removed from the wastewater flow and retained within the basin and/or the three separate filtration zones and eight independent settling zones of the Bio-Kinetic tertiary device. Each Bio-Kinetic tertiary device shall provide non-mechanical flow equalization through all gravity flow treatment processes of the upstream and downstream wastewater facility, including (as applicable) pretreatment, anaerobic treatment, aerobic treatment, clarification, filtration, chlorination, dechlorination and surface or subsurface effluent disposal systems. The Bio-Kinetic device shall be supplied with locking lugs and removable moisture/vapor shield and shall consist of a design flow and peak flow micronically molded filter, baffled perimeter settling zone, non-mechanical flow equalization, flow distribution deck, lifting handles, level indicator, adjustment lugs, chlorination feed tube, unbaffled perimeter settling zone, solids contact zone, vertical inlet zone, compartmented settling zone consisting of forty-two baffled chamber plates, effluent stilling well, final discharge zone, adjustable outlet weir, dechlorination feed tube, outlet zone and gasketed discharge flange. All components shall be manufactured from inert synthetic materials or rubber, assembled in circular fashion and connected to a PVC outlet coupling. The outlet coupling shall permit a solvent weld connection to the discharge piping. Each Bio-Kinetic device shall be installed such that the inverts of the design flow equalization ports are located at the normal liquid level of the gravity flow treatment facility. If intermittent flow rates exceed the capacity of the design flow ports, flow shall be held upstream until the intermittent flow dissipates or continues to increase. If the intermittent flow continues to increase, it will reach the pair of sustained flow equalization ports. With four ports in use, flow through the system increases while the Bio-Kinetic device continues to provide non-mechanical flow equalization to all upstream and downstream processes. Two peak flow equalization ports shall be supplied to equalize intermittent periods of peak hydraulic loading. Blue Crystal tablet chlorination system and Bio-Neutralizer tablet dechlorination system feed tubes shall be positioned such that the flow-activated chemical cannot make contact with the liquid upstream of the feed tubes. Treatment systems utilizing only slotted or screen filtration do not provide non-mechanical flow equalization throughout all gravity flow processes or chemical addition and shall not be considered for this application.
NON-MECHANICAL FLOW EQUALIZATION
The Bio-Kinetic device shall provide non-mechanical, demand use, flow equalization to the entire gravity flow wastewater treatment facility. Flow equalization shall control normal residential flow rates and reduce typical residential flow surges (e.g. shower @
10 minutes duration, bathtub discharge @ 5 minutes duration, clothes washer discharge @ 2 minutes duration, and dishwasher discharge @ 2 minutes duration). The flow equalization rate shall be dependent upon the hydraulic loading pattern, the duration of flow surges and the size of the treatment facility tankage. In order to fully utilize the upstream flow equalization capacity, the transfer pipe connecting the upstream facility to the Bio-Kinetic wastewater management system shall be not longer than 10 feet and shall fall no more than 1 /
4
" over the entire length. The transfer pipe may be installed at greater length and/or with more fall, but shall result in decreased flow equalization rates that are dependent upon overall pipe length and total fall. At a 2,000 gallon per day residential loading pattern, minimum performance of the device shall equalize daily flow more than 60% when used with a treatment facility having at least 80 square feet of upstream liquid surface area. Flow equalization shall increase detention time of the wastewater in all treatment processes and shall prevent hydraulic upset and solids washout. Flow equalization shall result in additional solids being retained in the upstream portion of the treatment facility, insuring fewer and more stabilized solids in the effluent. Remaining solids shall be further reduced by the Bio-Kinetic wastewater management system. Reduced hydraulic and organic loading shall result in increased treatment and disposal system life.

BIO-DYNAMIC ® TABLET FEEDERS
Bio-Dynamic tablet feeders are a technological advancement in self-contained tablet dosing systems for water or wastewater treatment. A low cost, low maintenance and effective method of chemical treatment, Bio-Dynamic feeders have no mechanical components and require no electricity. The safety, accuracy and reliability of
Bio-Dynamic feeders outperform gas, liquid and ultraviolet systems. With fifteen different models, Bio-Dynamic feeders accommodate a wide range of flows and plant conditions. Installation flexibility including direct burial, inline and contact chamber mounting provides many options for locating the feeder. Complete 24" riser assemblies are available for Series 2000 and 4000 tablet feeders, while the
LF Series uses 4" PVC pipe and Norweco’s remote removal system to allow service from grade. No model of Bio-Dynamic feeder will ever require confined space entry equipment under OSHA regulations. Molded inlet and outlet hubs allow the Bio-Dynamic feeder to be directly connected to treatment system piping without the need for a separate drop box. The tiered flow deck of the Bio-Dynamic feeder accommodates variable, intermittent and surge hydraulic flows into the system. The flow deck directs liquid to the feed tubes during low flows and disperses liquid velocity throughout the feeder during peak flows, resulting in consistent chemical application. In many models, chemical dosage is further controlled by interchangeable weir plates or an optional sluice that can be completely adjusted from a 1" to 3" outlet width. The sluice can be adjusted during tablet feeder operation using only a standard socket wrench with extension.
All models are backed by a ten year limited warranty. Standard components include one-piece feed tubes with twist lock caps, molded inlet and outlet hubs, molded mounting feet and Norweco’s tiered flow deck.
BIO-SANITIZER ® DISINFECTING TABLETS
Bio-Sanitizer disinfecting tablets are uniquely formulated to provide efficient and reliable disinfection of water or wastewater treatment system flows. Bio-Sanitizer tablets provide treatment plant operators a consistent means to meet disinfection standards without exceeding new and stringent limits for total residual chlorine. Produced from a proprietary grade of calcium hypochlorite and containing a minimum of 70% available chlorine, Bio-Sanitizer tablets are registered by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and the Canadian Ministry of the Environment. With a unique beveled edge, Bio-Sanitizer tablets dissolve slowly and evenly, providing effective, economical bacteria killing power. Bio-Sanitizer disinfecting tablets are packaged in easy to open, resealable 10 lb., 25 lb., 45 lb. and 100 lb. Department of Transportation approved containers.
BIO-NEUTRALIZER ® DECHLORINATION TABLETS
Bio-Neutralizer dechlorination tablets are formulated to effectively remove free and combined chlorine from water or wastewater treatment system flows. Containing 35% active sodium sulfite, Bio-Neutralizer tablets will reduce or remove chlorine and protect water quality without degrading environmental conditions. Research shows that higher concentrations of sodium sulfite will reduce beneficial dissolved oxygen in receiving environments, producing harmful effects on the ecosystem. The superior formulation of Bio-Neutralizer dechlorination tablets provides consistent reduction or elimination of residual chlorine without affecting water quality, dissolved oxygen or other discharge parameters. Bio-Neutralizer tablets are packaged in easy to open, resealable 25 lb. and 45 lb. Department of Transportation approved containers.

BIO-DYNAMIC ® TABLET FEEDERS
Bio-Dynamic tablet feeders are a technological advancement in self-contained tablet dosing systems for water or wastewater treatment. A low cost, low maintenance and effective method of chemical treatment, Bio-Dynamic feeders have no mechanical components and require no electricity. The safety, accuracy and reliability of
Bio-Dynamic feeders outperform gas, liquid and ultraviolet systems. With fifteen different models, Bio-Dynamic feeders accommodate a wide range of flows and plant conditions. Installation flexibility including direct burial, inline and contact chamber mounting provides many options for locating the feeder. Complete 24" riser assemblies are available for Series 2000 and 4000 tablet feeders, while the
LF Series uses 4" PVC pipe and Norweco’s remote removal system to allow service from grade. No model of Bio-Dynamic feeder will ever require confined space entry equipment under OSHA regulations. Molded inlet and outlet hubs allow the Bio-Dynamic feeder to be directly connected to treatment system piping without the need for a separate drop box. The tiered flow deck of the Bio-Dynamic feeder accommodates variable, intermittent and surge hydraulic flows into the system. The flow deck directs liquid to the feed tubes during low flows and disperses liquid velocity throughout the feeder during peak flows, resulting in consistent chemical application. In many models, chemical dosage is further controlled by interchangeable weir plates or an optional sluice that can be completely adjusted from a 1" to 3" outlet width. The sluice can be adjusted during tablet feeder operation using only a standard socket wrench with extension.
All models are backed by a ten year limited warranty. Standard components include one-piece feed tubes with twist lock caps, molded inlet and outlet hubs, molded mounting feet and Norweco’s tiered flow deck.
BIO-SANITIZER ® DISINFECTING TABLETS
Bio-Sanitizer disinfecting tablets are uniquely formulated to provide efficient and reliable disinfection of water or wastewater treatment system flows. Bio-Sanitizer tablets provide treatment plant operators a consistent means to meet disinfection standards without exceeding new and stringent limits for total residual chlorine. Produced from a proprietary grade of calcium hypochlorite and containing a minimum of 70% available chlorine, Bio-Sanitizer tablets are registered by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and the Ministry of the Environment. With a unique beveled edge, Bio-Sanitizer tablets dissolve slowly and evenly, providing effective, economical bacteria killing power. Bio-Sanitizer disinfecting tablets are packaged in easy to open, resealable 10 lb., 25 lb., 45 lb. and 100 lb. Department of Transportation approved containers.
BIO-GEM ® ORGANIC DIGESTER
A blend of bacteria, enzymes and natural growth accelerators, Bio-Gem organic digester effectively digests grease, fats and oils in wastewater treatment systems, lift stations, septic tanks, sand filters, drain lines and commercial grease traps. When used as directed, Bio-Gem liquid will quickly and effectively convert common grease, fats and oils into carbon dioxide and water. This organic digestion process is much more effective and reliable than compounds that merely emulsify the grease, fats and oils, sending the problem to downstream treatment processes. Regular use of Bio-Gem liquid will reduce odors, stabilize effluent quality, reduce system maintenance and minimize tank pump-out frequency. Packaged in one or five gallon containers and 55 gallon drums, Bio-Gem organic digester is environmentally safe and works in aerobic or anaerobic conditions.

SINGULAIR GREEN ® BIO-KINETIC ® WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM
TANK PUMPING INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions provide a general guideline concerning when and how to pump out the Singulair Green system. This literature supplements other instructional materials included in the Singulair Green Bio-Kinetic System Product Manual.
In order to maximize performance, protect system components and insure protection of the surrounding environment, the
Singulair Green system should be thoroughly checked every six months by a factory-trained Norweco service technician. An initial service program that provides a minimum of four service inspections during the first two years of system operation is included in the system purchase price. Renewable service contracts to extend these routine inspections after the initial program expires are available from the local licensed Norweco dealer.
The pretreatment chamber of the Singulair Green system will periodically require pumping. Because the Singulair Green system is a biological treatment device, the time frames listed within these instructions are estimates. Actual pumping frequency will depend on the amount and strength of the wastewater being treated.
Handling and disposal of pretreatment chamber contents, referred to as septage, or the contents of the aeration and clarification chambers, referred to as biosolids, are regulated by local, state and federal authorities. Disposal options may include land application, lagoon treatment, municipal wastewater treatment or landfill disposal. Prior to arranging for tank pumping, contact the Norweco dealer to obtain complete information on access to chambers, removing equipment, coordination of services and disposal of tank contents.
During Singulair Green system installation and backfilling, do not allow dirt or mud to enter the system. Once in the system, dirt or mud will form a heavy sludge which will affect settling characteristics, interfere with filtration and degrade effluent quality.
If dirt or mud enters the system, it must be removed to insure proper system operation. Removing the dirt or mud may require repeated flushing and tank pumping. For additional details refer to Singulair Green Tank Delivery and Setting instructions.
INTRODUCTION
The Singulair Green system is a biological treatment device and should not require pumping as frequently as a septic tank. Septic tanks are designed to store solids and perform limited biological treatment. Frequent pumping of a septic tank is mandatory to remove and dispose of these solids before they discharge from the tank. The Singulair
Green system is designed to biologically treat all incoming wastewater and return only a high quality effluent to the environment. The multiple operating processes contained within the plant accomplish primary, secondary and tertiary treatment in each Singulair Green system. The pretreatment chamber of the Singulair Green system is designed to retain non-biodegradable solids and allow biodegradable solids to flow into the aeration chamber.
The aerobic treatment process in the Singulair Green system utilizes these biodegradable solids to convert the wastewater into carbon dioxide and water. This natural biological process minimizes the accumulation of solids and eliminates the need to pump the system as frequently as a septic tank. Because the Singulair Green system utilizes the biodegradable material found in wastewater to perform biological treatment, pumping the system more often than needed will not improve operational performance.
Removal of the solids in the Singulair Green system will be required when indicated by an inspection or evaluation as outlined herein.
WHEN TO PUMP
Norweco dealers provide maintenance and service inspections free of charge at regular six month intervals during the initial warranty period. These routine service inspections will determine if a pretreatment chamber evaluation is necessary. The pretreatment chamber should be evaluated by a factory-trained technician at least every three years to determine if pumping is required. Pumping of this chamber by a licensed tank pumping and disposal service will likely be necessary at
3 to 5 year intervals, based on variations in system occupancy, usage and loading.
ROUTINE SERVICE INSPECTIONS
Semi-annual service inspection procedures are outlined in detail in the Singulair Green Bio-Kinetic System Service
Manual. These routine service procedures include inspection of the aeration chamber, clarification chamber and effluent line to determine if the pretreatment chamber should be evaluated. A brief outline of these routine service procedures, as well as the detailed steps required to perform a comprehensive pretreatment chamber evaluation, are listed here. The results of the routine service inspection, pretreatment chamber evaluation and tank pumping (when performed) should be noted on the
Service Inspection Card.
AERATION CHAMBER INSPECTION
A summary of the aeration chamber inspection procedure is listed below. For complete details on aeration chamber service, refer to the Singulair Green Service Manual.
CAUTION: Any time an aerator or service pump is connected or disconnected, first shut off the selector switch in the Service Pro control center. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
1. Remove the vented aeration chamber access cover and set aside.
2. Unplug the aerator and secure the closure cap in position to protect the electrical connector.
3. Lift the aerator straight up out of the aeration chamber access opening and lay it flat on the vented cover. DO
NOT bump the aspirator shaft or rest the aerator on the aspirator shaft.
4. Perform a settleable solids test using a graduated cone or other clear container. For this test, make sure the aerator has been running for at least 10 minutes. Collect an aeration chamber sample immediately after turning off and removing the aerator.
Refer to the “Settleable Solids
Test” section of these instructions for additional details.
5. Loosen the two set screws on the bottom of the intermediate shaft and remove the aspirator shaft.
6. Connect the aspirator shaft to the shaft cleaning hose and outside water faucet to flush the inside of the aspirator shaft clean. Use full water pressure. Remove the aspirator shaft from the cleaning hose and inspect the bore to see that it is clean.
7. Visually check the aeration chamber surface for the presence of grease or oil. An accumulation of these materials indicates the pretreatment chamber should be evaluated.
8. Check the aeration chamber contents for the presence of non-biodegradable materials, paper, mop fibers, hair, grease or oil. A significant accumulation of these materials in the aeration chamber indicates the pretreatment chamber should be evaluated.
NOTE: Do not replace the aerator until the Bio-Kinetic system has been removed from the clarification chamber and properly serviced.
SETTLEABLE SOLIDS TEST
A settleable solids test should be conducted as part of the aeration chamber evaluation during each routine service inspection to monitor system performance. The results of the settleable solids test can be used to verify that a mature biomass has developed in the Singulair Green system. The test will also indicate when excessive solids have accumulated in the pretreatment chamber of the Singulair
Green system. When this occurs, it may be necessary to pump the contents of the pretreatment chamber.
To insure a well mixed sample is collected for the settleable solids test, make sure the aerator has been running for at least 10 minutes. Collect the sample immediately after turning off and removing the aerator and before the aeration chamber contents begin to settle. Using a graduated cone or other clear container, dip the container into the aeration chamber to a depth of 2 1 /
2
feet. Set the container on a level surface and allow the solids to
“settle” for 30 minutes while you complete the service inspection.
Do not disturb the container during the test.
After 30 minutes, read the level of solids and compare it with the total liquid volume in the container.
Calculate the percentage of settled solids volume (i.e. 1 /
2
full of solids equals 50%). If the settled material contains large pockets of clear liquid, estimate the volume of these pockets and reduce the settled solids reading by that amount. A settled solids reading of up to 75% indicates no adjustments are necessary.
NOTE: The solids should settle and compact within the 30 minute test. System start-up, or periods of low organic loading will result in solids that are too light to settle, and will appear as a full container with no clear separation. This should not be interpreted as having excess solids and system operation can continue without any adjustment.
A settled solids level greater than 75% at the end of the 30 minute test indicates excessive solids in the aeration chamber and that the pretreatment chamber may need to be pumped. In this case, a pretreatment chamber evaluation must be performed. Refer to the “Pretreatment Chamber
Evaluation” section of these instructions for more details. If the pretreatment chamber evaluation indicates pumping is not required, the aerator operating cycle may need to be increased. Consult the local regulatory agency and the
Service Pro Time Clock Setting instructions before adjusting the aerator operating cycle.
The results of the settleable solids test, and any adjustment made to the system time cycle, should be recorded on the Service Inspection Card.
CLARIFICATION CHAMBER INSPECTION
A summary of the clarification chamber and Bio-Kinetic service inspection procedure is listed below. For complete details on clarification chamber service, refer to the
Singulair Green Bio-Kinetic System Service Manual.
1.
Remove the clarification chamber access cover.
2.
Remove the optional Blue Crystal and Bio-Neutralizer feed tubes. Do not allow the tubes to touch.
3.
Install the outlet sealing tool into the receiving flange to prevent loss of liquid from the Singulair Green system during service.
4.
Remove the Singulair aerator and place the service funnel over the aerator mounting riser.
5.
Using the universal tool, remove the flow deck and chamber plate assembly from the Bio-Kinetic system.
Place the assembly on the service funnel for cleaning.
6.
Using the universal tool, disengage all four black locking lugs to allow for removal of the outer chamber.
7.
Lower the fixed handle of the universal tool into the upper lip of the Bio-Kinetic system outer chamber. Turn the handle until the lifting tool is engaged into the lifting rib.
8.
The outer chamber is equipped with a drain valve and fill valve to allow for easy removal and reinstallation during service. Begin lifting the outer chamber from the tank.
The drain valve will automatically open as the outer chamber is lifted out of the clarification chamber.
Remove the outer chamber from the mounting riser and set it on the upside down lid of the service container.
9.
Reinstall the Singulair aerator as outlined in the Singulair
Green Aerator Service Instructions. The aerator must be in operation while the remaining clarification chamber service is performed. The aerator works in conjunction with the Bio-Static sludge return to create a hydraulic current that will return settled solids to the aeration chamber.
10. Check the surface of the clarification chamber for the presence of grease or biologically untreatable material. A significant accumulation of these materials would indicate that the pretreatment chamber should be evaluated.
11. With the aerator running, use the hopper scraping tool to gently scrape all areas of the clarification chamber hopper side walls.
12. Complete the clarification chamber service as outlined in the “Clarification Chamber” section of the
Singulair Green Bio-Kinetic System Service Manual.
13. Make appropriate notations on the Singulair Service
Inspection Card and on the Owner’s Manual.
EFFLUENT LINE INSPECTION
Check the groundwater relief point installed in the effluent line to make sure it is free of obstruction. An accumulation of paper, fibers, hair or grease indicates that the Singulair Green system needs to be pumped. If there is a surface discharge point, make sure that it is free of debris, foam, mud, etc. Make appropriate notations on the
Service Inspection Card.
PRETREATMENT CHAMBER EVALUATION
The pretreatment chamber must be evaluated within three years of system start-up or the most recent tank pumping.
An evaluation must also take place any time a routine service inspection indicates the chamber may be discharging excessive solids. This evaluation includes measuring the depth of the floating scum and settled sludge layers to determine if pumping is required. If the pretreatment chamber evaluation indicates the chamber does not require pumping, these evaluations should be repeated annually until pumping is necessary.
PRETREATMENT CHAMBER INSPECTION
A complete pretreatment chamber inspection procedure is listed below. The results of the inspection should be noted on the Service Inspection Card.
1. If the pretreatment chamber access opening is not equipped with a riser and cover at grade, dig down to the access opening in the top of the tank. The opening is in line with the access opening for the aeration chamber and the system outlet. The access cover should not be more than 12" below grade.
2. Remove the access cover and be careful not to allow dirt or mud to enter the tank. If dirt or mud enters the system, it must be removed to insure proper system operation.
3. Visually examine the surface of the pretreatment chamber for a significant accumulation of grease, oil or non-biodegradable materials.
4. Using the hopper scraping tool, gently probe the surface of the chamber to determine the thickness of the scum mat. Force the tool down through the scum mat, rotate the tool one quarter turn, then raise it until the bottom of the mat is felt. If the depth of the floating scum layer has reached the bottom of the discharge tee, the chamber should be pumped.
5. To check the depth of the settled sludge layer, secure a rough white towel to the handle of the hopper scraping tool and lower it to the bottom of the chamber.
Push the tool through the settled sludge layer to the bottom of the tank. Wait several minutes and carefully remove the tool. The depth of the settled sludge layer will be shown by a dark line on the towel. If the settled sludge layer has accumulated to the bottom of the discharge tee, the chamber should be pumped.
Review the “Operational Requirements” section of the
Owner’s Manual with the owner. If lint, grease, scouring pads, diapers, sanitary napkins, cotton balls, cotton swabs, cleaning rags, dental floss, strings, cigarette filters, rubber or plastic products, paints, thinning agents or other harsh chemicals are discovered in the system, the owner should be cautioned regarding proper use of the system.
WHAT TO PUMP
When pumping is required, normally it is necessary to pump only the pretreatment chamber if the system has been serviced at regular 6-month intervals. If service has been interrupted for an extended period of time, or if mud or toxic material is present, it may be necessary to pump out the entire system. When pumping, it is not necessary to wash down the compartments unless significant quantities of grease, hair, fibers, mud, toxic substances or biologically untreatable materials are present. The capacity of the pretreatment chamber is 450 gallons. When pumping the pretreatment chamber, an additional 400 gallons will be removed from the aeration and clarification chambers until the liquid level drops below the transfer port invert. A total of
850 gallons will be removed when the pretreatment chamber is pumped. The total capacity of the system is 1,300 gallons.
CAUTION: After pumping any portion of the Singulair Green tank, it is essential to immediately refill each chamber with clear water to the design flow line. The water must be free of leaves, mud, grit or other materials that might interfere with system operation. Dewatering and leaving the system empty will affect tank integrity and void the warranty.
HOW TO PUMP THE SYSTEM
A complete Singulair Green system pumping procedure is listed below. Prior to pumping, contact the Singulair Green dealer to obtain complete information on equipment removal and reinstallation. Failure to properly remove and reinstall equipment and access covers during tank pumping may result in damage to the system and will void the warranty.
1. If any portion of the Singulair Green system requires pumping, contact a tank pumping service licensed by the local regulatory agency. The septage or biosolids must be removed and disposed of in a manner consistent with federal, state and local regulations.
2. Advise the pumping service what volume of liquid is to be removed from the system.
3. For pumping the pretreatment chamber only, remove all three access covers and insert a suction hose into the pretreatment chamber. Lower the hose until it contacts the bottom of the tank. Withdraw the hose approximately 2" and connect the opposite end to the pump being used to evacuate the chamber. Do not allow the hose to rest on the bottom of the tank.
4. Break up the scum mat to facilitate pumping. Activate the pump and remove the pretreatment chamber contents.
It is not necessary to wash down the sidewalls or tank bottom.
5. If the solids in the chamber are so concentrated that the suction hose cannot withdraw them, the pretreatment chamber contents may be back-flushed to break up the solid matter.
6. If special circumstances require the total system to be pumped, contact the local Singulair Green dealer. The aerator and Bio-Kinetic system must be removed for full access to all chambers and to prevent damage to components. Only the factory trained
Singulair Green dealer should attempt to remove and reinstall the equipment.
NOTE: Access to the contents of the aeration and clarification chambers of Singulair Green systems should be made only through an aerator mounting riser. Never insert the hose through the Bio-Kinetic system mounting riser.
7. A Singulair Green system that has been inactive for an extended period of time or that has accumulated mud or dirt during installation may have to be washed down with fresh water and pumped out. This process may have to be repeated for proper system operation.
8. After pumping, fill all chambers to capacity with water.
Return the aerator, Bio-Kinetic system and all access covers to their proper locations, as outlined in the
Singulair Green Product Manual. Be sure each control center selector switch is in the “on” position, and each enclosure is secured with a tamper evident seal.
Following tank pumping, no other system adjustments are necessary for proper biological treatment to continue.
Semi-annual service inspections by a factory-trained
Norweco service technician should be conducted to insure long term system performance.

SINGULAIR GREEN ® BIO-KINETIC ® WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM
TAKING THE ORDER
Each Singulair Green Bio-Kinetic wastewater treatment system is sold complete including: delivery and installation of the tank; installation and start-up of the mechanical aerator, Service Pro control center and Bio-Kinetic system; three-year limited warranty with four prescheduled service inspections at six month intervals; and lifetime aerator exchange program. It is important that the Singulair Green order be taken and recorded carefully to insure that all federal, state and local regulations are met. A clear outline of responsibilities when the order is taken will simplify installation of the system and establish a sound working relationship with your customer and local health department.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Installation of the Singulair Green system normally occurs in two phases. First, the polyethylene tankage is delivered and installed at the contractor’s convenience. The electrical control center and underground electrical service cable are also installed at this time. Only when the system is ready for start-up are the Singulair aerator and Bio-Kinetic system delivered and installed. When the Singulair Green installer has completed equipment installation, he should also start-up and test the entire system and familiarize the owner with its operation. This installation procedure will assure efficient use of the contractor’s and installer’s time and protect equipment from possible damage or unauthorized start-up.
CONTACT THE LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT
The contractor must contact the local health department prior to installation of the Singulair Green system and apply for an installation permit. The local Singulair Green dealer will have drawings, specifications and performance data for the system on file with the health department. Normally, the contractor will not be required to supply this information to receive the installation permit. The health department may request a drawing showing the proposed method of effluent disposal and location of the Singulair Green system in relation to the building, property lines and potable water supply. The health department may wish to inspect the site and proposed point of discharge, take soil samples or run percolation tests before issuing an installation permit. The contractor must find out if an inspection of the Singulair
Green tank and sewer line will be required before backfilling is allowed.
DELIVERY TRUCK ACCESSIBILITY
Inform the contractor of the dimensions and weight of the delivery truck. The excavation must be accessible without interference from trees, shrubbery, power lines or other obstacles. Earth from the excavation must be piled outside the working area needed to operate the truck. Remind the contractor that extra charges will apply if the excavation is not complete and readily accessible.
POSITIONING THE EXCAVATION
The Singulair Green tank is available with three potential inlet locations. They are located on the inlet end wall and both inlet sidewalls at the same elevation. The position of the sewer line with respect to the building, inlet sewer line and point of discharge will dictate the best inlet choice. It is not necessary to position the system with the inlet end wall facing the building. Review the installation requirements and choose a tank that has the correct inlet location.
TANK LEVELING PAD
To insure that the tank bottom will be bearing the weight evenly, all tanks should be set on a four inch thick pad of gravel, sand or fine crushed stone. The pad should be installed and leveled by the contractor before delivery and setting of any tank takes place. The tank pad must be leveled to within 1 /
4
" from side to side and end to end.
EXCAVATION SIZE AND DEPTH
The Singulair Green tank is 10' 3" long and 6' 6" wide. The excavation should have sufficient overdig to allow between
18" to 24" of clearance around the entire perimeter of the
Singulair Green system. Additional overdig will be required on deeper installations or for safety where the excavation side walls are unstable.
The excavation depth is calculated using several factors.
First, note the elevation of the sewer line as it leaves the building. From this sewer line elevation, subtract 1 /
8
" per foot from the building to the system location to determine the inlet invert elevation. Next, measure from the outside bottom of the tank to the inlet invert of the system. Subtract this distance from the inlet invert elevation to determine the finished excavation depth. Deduct 4" from the finished excavation depth to accommodate the leveling pad. Fall through the system from inlet invert to outlet invert is 4".
Therefore, the outlet line from the system must be installed four inches lower than the point where the inlet sewer line joins the system. The excavation depth should allow a minimum of 6" and a maximum of 16 1 /
2
" of fill over the tank.
ANTI-FLOTATION
In areas where high water is a concern, it may be necessary to provide additional anti-flotation measures to secure the
Singulair Green tank. Failure to follow the anti-flotation recommendation provided in the Tank Delivery and Setting document may result in damage to the Singulair Green tank or shifting in the excavation and will void the warranty.
BACKFILLING THE GREEN SYSTEM
Special backfill instructions must be followed for Singulair
Green systems buried deeper than 161 /
2
" below grade.
Consult the Deeper Burial Requirements section of the
Singulair Green Tank Delivery and Setting document for details. Prior to backfilling, add a minimum of 12" (250 gallons) of ballast water to the tank to prevent shifting in the excavation. Fill each chamber to an equal level. Cover all openings, then begin backfilling with gravel under and around the sloped clarifier. Continue to add gravel until the discharge line from the tank is covered. Proceed to the inlet end of the pretreatment chamber and add gravel until the inlet line is covered. Fine, loose earth may be used to backfill the remainder of the excavation. Be sure that the backfill is free of rocks, sharp objects, large clumps of earth and construction debris. Never use clay for backfill material.
Add backfill evenly around tank in 12" increments. Hand tamp each layer of fill to compact soil. Final grading should be 3" to 6" below the top of each access cover.
FILLING THE SYSTEM WITH WATER
The Singulair Green system should be filled with clean water immediately after installation. Water should be added as the tank is being backfilled to equalize internal and external tank pressure. Fresh water is preferred but water from a nearby pond may be used if it is free of silt and other debris. A septic tank pumping service should never be used to fill the Singulair Green system. If this is done, large amounts of biologically untreatable materials may be deposited in the system and they could interfere with system operation and performance.
INLET SEWER LINES
Only domestic wastewater must be allowed to enter the
Singulair Green system. It is not intended to handle flows from roofing down spouts, basement footer drains, sump pump piping or garage and basement floor drains. If the sanitary sewer system must be used for disposal of these liquids, it must be connected downstream of the Singulair
Green system. Water softener backwash will affect system performance and must not flow into the Singulair Green system.
EFFLUENT DISPOSAL LINE
Due to the high level of treatment provided by the Singulair
TAKING THE ORDER (Cont.)
Green Bio-Kinetic wastewater treatment system, its effluent may be discharged in a number of acceptable fashions.
There must always be a ground water relief point installed in the discharge line that provides an outlet no higher in elevation than the outlet invert of the Singulair Green tank. This will prevent tank contents from backing up in cases where the normal discharge point is temporarily under water or the effluent disposal field is saturated.
ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY
A dedicated 115 volt AC single-phase, 10 amp (minimum)
60 Hertz circuit must be provided in the main electrical service panel for the Service Pro control center.
FINISH GRADING AND LANDSCAPING
A polypropylene aerator mounting riser with vented cover is provided for the aerator and extends twenty inches above the top of the Singulair Green tank. The top of the cover must project a minimum of 3" to 6" above finished grade.
Individual extension riser sections may be added in 6" increments when necessary. If possible, determine if riser sections will be needed before tank installation is scheduled.
A polypropylene system mounting riser with sealed cover is provided for the Bio-Kinetic system. The top of the cover must project 3" to 6" above finished grade. Individual extension riser sections may be added in 6" increments when necessary.
PRETREATMENT CHAMBER ACCESS
Normally, the removable cover in the tank top is all that will be needed for pretreatment chamber access. On deeper installations, the access opening in the tank top must always be developed to within twelve inches of grade. Some owners and regulatory officials require that access to the pretreatment chamber must be at finished grade. These conditions should be determined when the order is being taken so that the appropriate riser and cover may be delivered with the tank.
SCHEDULING TANK DELIVERY
When all points have been fully explained, find out the customer’s preferred installation date and make preliminary scheduling with your dispatcher. Take the customer’s telephone number to call and confirm the actual date and time of tank delivery.

CONTROL CENTER WITH MCD TECHNOLOGY
ELECTRICAL WIRING & CONTROL CENTER INSTALLATON
The underground electrical service cable for the Service Pro control center should be installed by the tank delivery truck driver or electrician as soon as the Singulair tankage has been installed in the prepared excavation. Usually it is best to begin with the underground service cable so that backfilling of the Singulair tankage and influent sewer line is not delayed. The information contained in these instructions is not intended to be a complete electrical installation reference, as code requirements vary according to geographic area. Always insure safe working procedures are followed whenever electrical work is performed on the Singulair system.
UNDERGROUND ELECTRICAL
CABLE INSTALLATION
To insure proper electrical system protection and uninterrupted service to the Singulair aerator and control center, be sure to follow these instructions carefully.
Always double check all work before leaving the job site.
1.
Electrical work must be performed in accordance with the latest edition of the
National Electrical Code as well as all applicable local codes.
2.
Underground electrical service cable used with the
Singulair system must be
UL and CSA approved, type UF, #14/2 AWG minimum and must have a full-size center ground.
Larger cable is required if the underground service needs to be run more than
80 feet. Consult your electrician for details.
3.
The underground cable installation must be unspliced from the location of the Service Pro control center into the aerator mounting riser above the aeration chamber of the Singulair tank.
4.
Install a watertight conduit fitting into the power cable entrance in the side of the aerator mounting riser. Insert the free end of the power cable through a pre-formed two foot by one foot conduit ell, then into the watertight conduit fitting in the power cable entrance of the aerator mounting riser. Guide the power cable up into the aerator mounting riser. Pull enough cable through the riser to reach thirty-six inches above the riser opening. Coil and secure the cable in the mounting riser so that it will not hang down into the tank while the system is being filled with water.
5.
Lay the conduit ell with cable directly across the top and down the tank side. Do not allow the power cable to be laid across the end of the tank or any removable access cover. Insure the conduit and cable entrance openings are sealed.
6.
Check the excavation and sewer line trench to be sure they are free of debris, rocks and any sharp or abrasive objects.
7.
Uncoil the electrical service cable into the excavation and influent sewer line trench. Leave sufficient slack in the cable so that it will not be stressed or pulled tight during backfilling or settling.
8.
Backfill around the underground electrical cable with fine granular material.
9.
The underground electrical cable should have at least two feet of earth cover. If the proposed finished grade will not permit this coverage, the cable should be installed in approved conduit from the tank to the building foundation.
10. Always encase the electrical cable in conduit any time it is above finished grade. Route the conduit and cable as directly as possible to the control center mounting location.
INSTALLATION OF
ELECTRICAL CONTROL CENTER
Although the aerator is not installed until system start-up, the control center should be wired for operation when the tank and underground electrical cable are installed. The control center should be located so the red warning light can be seen and the audible alarm heard. The mounting location should minimize exposure to direct sunlight,
ELECTRICAL WIRING & CONTROL CENTER INSTALLATION (Cont.) freezing rain or conditions that might prevent routine inspection or access. The control center should always be mounted out of the reach of children.
Detach the control center cover from the enclosure and remove the insert from the mounting posts. Set the control center insert aside. Remove two of the three 1 /
2
" knockouts in the bottom of the control center enclosure. Install a conduit connector into each of the openings. For installations requiring a NEMA 3R rated enclosure, remove the 1 /
8
" drain opening knockout to vent moisture from the enclosure.
Exposed wiring to or from the control center should always be enclosed in conduit. NOTE: Be sure to assemble the hub to the conduit before connecting the hub to the enclosure.
Mount the enclosure securely using masonry nails, wood screws or common nails as appropriate. The following steps should be performed by the installing electrician to complete system wiring:
1.
Use a dedicated 115 volt AC, single-phase, 15 amp
(maximum) circuit breaker in the main electrical panel for service to the Singulair aerator.
CAUTION: Make sure the circuit supplying power to the Singulair system is de-energized. Check it with an electrician’s test light before proceeding. Remember that other circuits in the main electrical service panel may remain energized as you are working. Use only tools with insulated handles, stand in a dry location and work with extreme care.
control center to a proper ground will void the Singulair system warranty.
5.
Connect the black lead of the underground electrical cable from the aerator to the red wire attached to the

CONTROL CENTER WITH MCD TECHNOLOGY
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The advanced integrated circuitry of the Service Pro control center simplifies the Singulair installation, improves system performance and allows for communication with the Service Pro website. The control center insert and enclosure provide space for power and communication wiring connections. The integrated circuitry continually monitors both motor over current and under current conditions and minimizes nuisance alarm conditions using the automatic restart feature. To reduce unnecessary service calls, the control center shuts down the Singulair aerator in the event of an over current or an under current alarm condition, illuminates the alarm light and begins an automatic two hour aerator restart attempt sequence before activating the audible alarm and telemetry system.
Service Pro MCD and TNT control centers are equipped with an automatic telemetry system designed to communicate through a toll free telephone number or an Internet connection. In the event of an alarm condition that cannot be corrected by the control center’s self-diagnostic sequence, the telemetry system contacts the Service Pro remote monitoring center. The monitoring center identifies the alarming control center and logs the time that the message was received and specific alarm condition reported. The monitoring center then automatically updates the website and notifies the responsible Norweco distributor or service provider by email, fax or telephone. In addition to documenting alarm conditions, the website tracks the date, time and duration of service visits, service contract renewals and maintains a complete database for every Singulair system registered. Access to the information is password protected and available to licensed distributors, sponsored service providers, health departments and system owners.
These instructions are not intended to be a complete electrical, telecommunication or network system installation reference.
Telecommunication and network system policies as well as electrical code requirements vary according to geographic area.
Consult your local policies and regulations prior to installing the Service Pro control center. Refer to the Electrical Wiring and
Control Center Installation instructions for additional details.
INSTALLATION OF ELECTRICAL CONTROL CENTER

COMMUNICATION CABLE
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
If a telephone connection will be utilized, a telephone line must be installed unspliced from the telephone box to the
Service Pro control center. Before installing the telephone line, familiarize yourself with the equipment and policies of the local telephone service provider. The Service Pro control center is not compatible with digital telephone service. With
DSL Internet service, a DSL filter will need to be connected to the telephone jack on the Service Pro controls to insure proper operation of the monitoring feature. If a telephone line is not available, one will need to be installed by the local telephone service provider or an Internet communication module should be utilized.
If an Internet connection will be utilized, a network cable must be installed from the home Internet connection to the
Service Pro control center. The network cable will typically be plugged into a switch or router that distributes Internet service in the home. Regardless of whether the communications will take place through a phone line or the
Internet, the following steps must be performed to complete system wiring:
1.
Make sure the dedicated circuit breaker in the main service panel is in the “off” position. Using the auxiliary input conduit or one of the grommets provided, run the telephone or network cable into the bottom of the enclosure. NOTE : The telephone or network cable cannot be installed into a conduit with any power lines.
Crimp the appropriate phone or network jack on the communications cable in the control center.
2.
Connect the telephone or network cable into the jack provided on the control panel. Connect the other end of the communications cable to the existing telephone system or home Internet service.
3.
Snap the control center insert into position. Close the control center cover.
RESET BUTTON
The reset button on the Service Pro control center is used to perform multiple tasks during installation and operation.
To activate the reset button, apply pressure with your index finger. The button is activated when a “click” is heard. The reset button can be used to silence the audible alarm, turn on the aerator when it is in an off cycle or restart the run cycle when the aerator is currently running. The reset button is also used to test the control center audible and visual alarms and telemetry system. NOTE: Excessive pressure on the reset button should be avoided.
To test the alarms, press and hold the reset button for approximately five seconds until the alarms activate and then release. After five seconds, the panel will call out and deliver an alarm test message to the Service Pro monitoring system. Once the communication is complete, the control center will return to normal operation.
RESET BUTTON AND SELECTOR SWITCH
The reset button can also be used to record service visits.
When arriving on site, press and hold the reset button for five seconds until the alarm test feature activates, then release the button. After the control panel has completed the alarm test call, routine service should be performed on the Singulair system. Once system service has been completed, press and hold the reset button again for five seconds until the alarm test feature activates. The Service
Pro control center will register two alarm test calls received within a four hour period as a service visit. The date, time and duration of the service visit will be logged in the database for future reference.
TELEMETRY SYSTEM COMMISSIONING
Each control center is shipped with the integrated telemetry system disabled. All other monitoring, diagnostic and local alarm functions will operate as designed. The reset button is used to enable the integrated telemetry system once the communications cable has been connected. This process is referred to as commissioning the control center.
Commissioning notifies the Service Pro monitoring center that the control center is functional and ready to transmit information.
To commission the control center, insure the dedicated circuit breaker in the main service panel is in the “on” position and the communications cable is properly installed. Place the control center selector switch in the “off” position. While

AERATOR INSTALLATION
Installation of the aerator and Bio-Kinetic system should take place when the Singulair Green system is ready for start-up.
Refer to the Bio-Kinetic System Installation instructions for additional details regarding the installation of the Bio-Kinetic system. Your delivery truck driver should have instructed the contractor or owner to contact your office and make arrangements for equipment installation to occur after the home is occupied and the sanitary sewer is in use. Review your Singulair Green tank setting records weekly to insure that you do not have equipment installations that are overdue. If you suspect that adequate time has passed for system start-up and you have not yet heard from the owners, contact them to schedule equipment installation.
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
The installer should have accurate directions to the facility and a list of service inspections due at other installations in the vicinity.
The service vehicle should carry the Singulair Tool Kaddy fully stocked with tools, spare parts and test equipment for use during installation.
The installer should have the Singulair Green Installation Manual.
Someone should be present at the location to allow installer access to the control center and electrical service panel.
The main electrical service panel wiring must be complete so the aerator may be started-up and tested.
All chambers of the Singulair Green tankage should be full to the flow line.
The installer must have the proper model aerator for the installation.
The serial number on the aerator must match the service and warranty record card.
AERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE
When you arrive on site, introduce yourself to the owner and ask to see the main electrical service panel and Service Pro control center. Be certain the circuit for the Singulair Green system in the main electrical service panel is de-energized and that the selector switch in the Service Pro control center is placed in the “off” position.
Explain to the owner that you will be installing the aerator into the aeration chamber of the tank and you will need access to the main electrical service panel for system start-up after the aerator has been installed. Carry the aerator in its shipping carton to the tank site. Place the Singulair
Tool Kaddy nearby for easy access to tools and test equipment. Remove the vented cover from the aerator mounting riser. Carefully remove the aspirator shaft from the shipping carton. Do not bump or bend the aspirator shaft. Lay the shaft on the vented cover. Grip the outside bottom of the shipping carton with your feet and lift the aerator to remove it. Lay the aerator on its side with the brackets resting on the vented cover near the aerator mounting riser.
Uncoil the underground electrical service cable from inside the aerator mounting riser and extend it out of the riser.
Test the exposed leads with the electrical multi-meter from the Tool Kaddy before proceeding. The circuit should not be energized and voltage should not be evident when the leads are tested with the multi-meter.
WIRING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR
The moisture resistant electrical connector must be properly wired to insure system operation and protect components. Carefully follow these steps to completely wire the electrical connector:
1.
Uncouple the two halves of the electrical connector on the Singulair aerator. Unscrew the three captive stainless steel screws from the face of the female half of the assembly. They will stay in the body of the receptacle.
Lift out the rigid internal receptacle body.
2.
Unscrew the compression nut on the strain relief connector assembly at the small end of the female half of the connector. Do not misplace the compression ring. Insert the electrical service cable through the compression nut, compression ring and neoprene grommet, which is contained in the molded plastic sleeve of the female connector.
3.
Strip the outer insulation back 1 1 /
4
" on the underground electrical service cable and expose the three individual leads. Use extreme care to be sure the insulation jackets on the individual black and white leads are not scarred or damaged while stripping the outer jacket.
Check them carefully. If even slight damage is noticed, cut off the end of the cable just below your work and begin again.
EXPOSE GROUND WIRE
4.
Strip off the insulation jackets 7 /
16
" from the ends of the black and white leads.
5.
Insert the black lead end of the electrical cable into the hole adjacent to the brass-colored screw and tighten the screw securely.
6.
Insert the white lead end of the electrical cable into the hole adjacent to the silver-colored screw and tighten the screw securely.
7.
Insert the bare copper ground lead into the hole that is adjacent to the green colored screw and tighten the screw securely.
8.
Inspect your work to see that no two uninsulated leads are in contact with each other and that all screws are tight. Also be sure the wire insulation is not captured in the terminal. All power cable leads must be connected to the correct terminals in the female receptacle for proper aerator operation. The back of the insert body is clear, making it easy to verify that each wire is in place before tightening the terminal screws. Improper wiring or electrical hook-up will void the warranty.
9.
Locate the insert key above the grounding pole on the side of the rigid receptacle body and align it with the keyway molded on the inside of the rubber receptacle sleeve. Grasp the connector and insert the receptacle body fully into the sleeve.
10. Engage the three captive stainless steel screws on the face of the receptacle body and tighten them.
11. Press the neoprene grommet onto the small end of the female half of the electrical connector. Tighten the compression nut and clear plastic compression ring against the grommet. The compression nut achieves maximum torque by hand-tightening. Do not over-tighten the compression nut.
AERATOR INSTALLATION (Cont.)
ASPIRATOR SHAFT INSTALLATION
Each Singulair aerator is manufactured and tested to a critical straightness tolerance from the aerator motor to the aspirator. Remember that the operating life of the aerator often depends on the straightness of the aspirator shaft. It must not be bumped or allowed to contact anything except the aeration tank liquid.
1.
With the Singulair aerator lying on its side and the brackets propped up on the vented cover, rotate the foam restrictor until the stainless steel set screws in the intermediate shaft are facing up.
2.
Loosen the two set screws that are located closest to the foam restrictor.
3.
Examine the upper end of the aspirator shaft and locate the alignment mark permanently affixed during factory testing. Insert the aspirator shaft into the intermediate shaft so that the alignment mark on the aspirator shaft meets the corresponding mark on the intermediate shaft. Be sure both set screws have been loosened before inserting the aspirator shaft. The aspirator shaft must be fully inserted to the depth of the stop shoulder that has been machined in the outside of the aspirator shaft. Use a tee-handle allen wrench to tighten both set screws finger tight only. Overtightening may dish the side of the aspirator shaft and compromise the straightness tolerance.
INSTALLATION IN THE MOUNTING RISER
1.
Lower the aerator into the aerator mounting riser carefully to avoid any contact between the aspirator shaft, aspirator tip and tank side walls.
2.
Make sure that the weight of the aerator is evenly distributed on all four mounting brackets and that the brackets are seated in the four grooves on the top of the aerator mounting riser.
3.
Arrange the underground power cable in the mounting riser so that it does not touch or come into contact with the side of the Singulair aerator.
4.
Make sure the blades on the male half of the electrical connector are clean and dry. Plug the two halves of the watertight electrical connector together making sure the multiple lip seal is securely engaged. Arrange the aerator power cord, electrical connector and underground electrical cable around the aerator, and secure them into the mounting clips attached to the aerator upper brackets. Before replacing the aerator mounting riser lid, make sure these electrical connections are not resting against the top of the aerator.
NOTE: Any time the female connector is not in use, secure the closure cap in the end of the receptacle.

®
SYSTEM
Installation of the aerator and Bio-Kinetic system should take place when the Singulair Green system is ready for start-up.
Refer to the Bio-Kinetic System Installation instructions for additional details regarding the installation of the Bio-Kinetic system. Your delivery truck driver should have instructed the contractor or owner to contact your office and make arrangements for equipment installation to occur after the home is occupied and the sanitary sewer is in use.
The Bio-Kinetic system is installed in the final clarification chamber of the Singulair Green tank. This unique device accomplishes tertiary treatment, flow equalization and, if required by local regulations, effluent disinfection and dechlorination in one compact assembly. The Bio-Kinetic system is recommended for use in direct off-lot discharge applications and any other application where extremely high quality effluent is desirable. Installation of the Bio-Kinetic system can take place as soon as the tank is ready for storage or immediately after the tank is installed in a prepared excavation.
Drain and fill valves built into the Bio-Kinetic system allow it to be installed within the Singulair Green tank any time before or after the tank has been set. This allows faster Singulair Green system installation and less time at the installation site. When installing the Bio-Kinetic system before tank delivery, make sure the tank is stored in a level position to avoid stress on the receiving flange, the Bio-Kinetic discharge flange or to prevent damage to the outer chamber filter media.
BIO-KINETIC ® SYSTEM PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
All chambers of the Singulair Green tank should be full to the flow line with clean hold down water as soon as the tank is placed in the excavation and backfilling is complete. When the owner calls for start-up, ask him to check the liquid level in the Singulair Green system. If the liquid level has not reached the outlet invert, have the owner add clean water until full.
The service vehicle should be fully stocked, including the Singulair Tool Kaddy, Bio-Kinetic lubricant,
Blue Crystal disinfecting tablets and Bio-Neutralizer dechlorination tablets.
Make sure the proper model of Bio-Kinetic system for the installation is in the service vehicle. The Bio-Kinetic system may be supplied with or without Blue Crystal and Bio-Neutralizer chemical feed systems.
Therefore, check your order and Distributor Service and Warranty Record Card carefully to be sure you have selected the proper Bio-Kinetic system with the correct service cover, flow distribution deck and feed tube(s) and that it is properly labeled for the correct model Singulair Green system.
PREPARING THE SINGULAIR GREEN TANK
1.
The Bio-Kinetic system mounting riser should be used for access to the clarification chamber. Additional extension risers may be added as necessary to reach finished grade.
2.
The Bio-Kinetic system should only be installed in a mounting riser with a sealed access cover above it. All mounting risers and covers must be in place before backfilling the tank to prevent fill material from entering the Singulair Green tank. The top of each access cover must be located 3" to 6" above finished grade. Check to be sure that a pretreatment tee is installed in the opening in the pretreatment/aeration chamber wall.
3.
Check to be sure that a Bio-Static sludge return is properly installed in the opening in the aeration/clarification chamber wall.

SINGULAIR GREEN ® BIO-KINETIC ® WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM
FINAL CHECK & SYSTEM START-UP
Immediately following installation of the Singulair aerator and Bio-Kinetic tertiary treatment device, the entire Singulair Green system should be given a final check and start-up. All tests should be performed to insure equipment is installed and operating properly. After all tests are satisfactorily completed, the selector switch in the Service Pro control center should be set to the “on” position. The aerator should not be turned off, even during extended vacation periods. If the system will not be operated for an extended period of time, the aerator should be removed from the system and properly stored.
CAUTION: Any time an aerator or electrical test equipment is connected or disconnected, first shut off the selector switch located in the Service Pro control center. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage. Always insure safe work procedures are followed.
PRELIMINARY ELECTRICAL INSPECTION
Inspect the control center for damage that might have occurred after its installation. Inspect all visible wiring to and from the control center. Report any damage to the owner at once; it must be corrected before proceeding with electrical testing.
Make sure the circuit breaker which supplies power to the
Singulair Green system in the main electrical service panel is in the “off” position. Open the control center cover and place the selector switch in the “off” position. Proceed to the Singulair Green system and unplug the watertight electrical connector from the aerator power cord. Secure the closure cap in position on the electrical connector and return to the control center.
SECURE CLOSURE CAP
VOLTAGE TEST OF CONTROL CENTER
Use the multi-meter provided in the Singulair Tool Kaddy to check the voltage in the Service Pro control center. Energize the circuit breaker in the main electrical service panel.
Always follow safe work procedures when power to the
Singulair Green system is energized.
Place one probe of the meter from the Tool Kaddy in the wire nut connector attached to the black wire and one probe in the wire nut connector attached to the white wire. It should read between 109 and 121 volts. Place one probe of the meter in the wire nut connector attached to the red wire and one probe in the wire nut connector attached to the white wire. The meter should read zero volts.
Once these readings are confirmed, place the selector switch in the “off” position, carefully reinstall the insert and proceed to the aerator.
VOLTAGE TEST OF AERATOR
Remove the polarity tester from the Tool Kaddy and insert it into the receptacle of the electrical connector. When the circuit is energized, the polarity tester should indicate proper wiring of the connector and control center. If the polarity tester does not illuminate, press the reset button in the Service Pro control center. This will enable power to the polarity tester for ten seconds. After ten seconds, the Service
Pro control center will detect an under current condition and turn off power to the electrical connector. Remove the polarity tester and insert one probe of the multi-meter into each slot of the electrical connector. It should read between 109 and
121 volts. CAUTION: Do not energize the Singulair Green system if an electrical problem is found. Advise the owner and return only when the problem condition has been corrected by a qualified electrician.
SINGULAIR GREEN ® SYSTEM FINAL CHECK & SYSTEM START-UP (Cont.)
AMPERAGE TEST
Remove the electrical test pigtail from the Tool Kaddy and place the current sensor of the multi-meter around the exposed black lead of the test pigtail. Plug the test pigtail in line between the two halves of the watertight electrical connector. When energized, read the current draw of the aerator. The initial reading should never be greater than 4.4
amps. After 48 hours of operation, break-in of the mechanical seals will allow the amp draw to drop to 4.2 amps or less. If an excessive current reading is obtained, de-energize the aerator immediately and do not re-energize it until the cause is found and corrected. When the test is complete, place the control center selector switch in the “off” position, unplug the test pigtail at both ends and plug the aerator directly into the receptacle on the underground electrical service cable. Make sure the two halves of the connector are firmly engaged to insure the integrity of the multiple lip seal for a moisture proof connection. Place the control center selector switch in the “on” position.
AERATOR INSPECTION
Check the aerator to make sure it is running smoothly without vibration. Make sure the four brackets are properly seated in the four recessed grooves. Arrange the power cord assembly and electrical connector so they are secured in the mounting clips and are not touching the top of the aerator.
Confirm that the debris screens are in place in the air intake ports. Replace the vented cover over the aerator mounting riser and check for excessive noise. Listen for evidence of debris in the aeration chamber striking the aspirator shaft.
Occasionally, discarded construction materials may enter the sewer line and Singulair Green tank. They must be removed at once so that the aspirator shaft straightness tolerance is not compromised. Inspect the perimeter vent area to assure the unrestricted passage of air.
FINAL INSPECTION OF BIO-KINETIC SYSTEM
Remove the access cover from the clarification chamber mounting riser. Carefully lift out the optional Blue Crystal and Bio-Neutralizer feed tubes and inspect them to make sure they are filled. Carefully lay the feed tubes on the access cover. Remove the Bio-Kinetic system service cover.
Inspect the black locking lugs to make sure they are fully engaged into the recesses in the mounting riser. Inspect the level indicator to be sure that the Bio-Kinetic system is installed in a level position to insure proper operation.
Replace the system service cover and optional Blue Crystal and Bio-Neutralizer feed tubes, making certain they are correctly positioned. The Blue Crystal feed tube must be positioned in the mounting collar on the inlet side of the system nearest the aerator mounting riser. The
Bio-Neutralizer feed tube must be installed in the mounting collar closest to the system outlet. Replace the clarification chamber access cover.
LAY FEED TUBES ON COVER
INSPECTION OF EFFLUENT DISPOSAL SYSTEM
Inspect the final discharge point to make sure that the outlet is unrestricted. If you suspect any possibility of a drainage problem, report it to the owner and request that corrective action be taken immediately. The system could be subjected to high water and liquid may back up into the inlet sewer line if not corrected. Locate the ground water relief point and insure it is clean and unobstructed.
When an effluent lift pump or other accessory equipment has been installed as part of the Singulair Green system, these items must be started-up, and placed into operation at this time. Refer to the individual start-up instructions furnished with accessory equipment and test them accordingly.
WHEN YOUR INSPECTIONS ARE COMPLETE
Place the selector switch in the Service Pro control center in the “on” position. Latch the control center cover and secure it with a tamper evident seal. Notify the owner that the Singulair Green system is operating properly. Ask if there are any questions regarding system operation. Most start-up problems are caused by improper or incomplete installation of the system or because of a misunderstanding on the part of the contractor or owner. Refer to the Singulair
Green Troubleshooting guide for direction if a problem is discovered during start-up.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM
SERVICE PROGRAM AND RECORDKEEPING
Complete and detailed installation and service records must be kept on each Singulair system. Properly maintained records will enable you to determine, at a glance, the history and condition of each system sold. Keep all installation and service records filed as outlined herein so that you will have immediate access to this information. Following these procedures allows efficient organization of service inspection dates and service policy mailings. Their use will enable you to provide complete and professional service to your Singulair customers.
INITIAL ORDER RECORDS
When a Singulair order is received, record the following information on your delivery slip: customer’s name, address and telephone number, equipment ordered (including system model number and optional equipment such as Blue Crystal disinfection system, Bio-Neutralizer dechlorination system or risers) directions to the site, delivery date and time requested. Give this information to the dispatcher for delivery truck scheduling.
ASSIGN COMPONENTS FROM STOCK
To begin processing the order, select the proper quantity of Norweco aerators from your stock. Open each aerator shipping carton at the top and remove the Singulair control center. Attached to the control center is a copy of the three-part warranty registration card, an Owner’s Manual and a red warning tag. Make sure that the model number and serial number on the outside of each aerator shipping carton matches the aerator nameplate and all three sections of the registration card. Give all control centers with attached literature to the tank delivery driver.
Remove the vent cap assembly from each aerator shipping carton and place it into your revolving stock. Do not remove the aerator or aspirator shaft from the shipping carton. Close each aerator carton and identify it on the outside with the name and address of your customer so that matching aerator and control centers will be installed.
All aerators will remain in your plant until the customer requests installation and start-up.
Select the proper quantity of Bio-Kinetic systems and optional equipment from your stock. Make sure the model number for each Bio-Kinetic system matches the customer order. Identify the outside of each Bio-Kinetic system shipping carton with the customer’s name and address.
TANK INSTALLATION RECORDS
When the Singulair tank and controls are installed, the contractor or owner should sign an itemized delivery slip.
Your driver should tear off the bottom portion of the three part card attached to each control center. One service and warranty record card should be filled out with the tank setting date, owner’s name, address and telephone number, contractor’s name, directions to the jobsite, a description of the installation, optional equipment installed and location of the tank and control center. Other service and warranty record cards for the same system should be attached to the completed card. All service and warranty record cards should be returned to your office and kept until the system is ready for start-up. Leave the remaining two portions of the three part card intact and store them with the Singulair Owner’s Manual.
RECORDS OF SYSTEM START-UP
When aerator and Bio-Kinetic system installation is scheduled, give all service and warranty record cards to your installer. These cards contain all information needed to perform start-up services. The date of aerator installation and start-up should be filled in and these cards returned to the office when each aerator and Bio-Kinetic system has been installed.
SINGULAIR CUSTOMER MASTER FILE
When system start-up is complete, transfer the owner’s name, address, telephone number, system model number, serial number for each aerator and system installation date from the service and warranty record card to a standard
4 x 6 file card. Place all cards alphabetically by owner name in the Singulair master file. The file should contain one card for each Singulair installation. It must be updated whenever an exchange aerator is installed or system ownership changes.
SINGULAIR SERVICE FILE
File each original service and warranty record card in the
Singulair service file. The service file should be set up on the first month you begin to install and start-up Singulair systems. Make a divider tab which has visible the number
“1” on it. File the service and warranty record card for each
SERVICE PROGRAM AND RECORDKEEPING (Cont.) system placed into operation this month ahead of this divider “1” tab. On the first day of the second month, make a new divider tab titled “2.” File this divider behind the first one and move all registration cards filed last month to a new position in front of divider #2. Place all record cards for installations started-up in this, your second month, ahead of divider #1. On the first day of each succeeding month, a new divider must be placed at the end of the file, then all cards moved back one divider, then all new installation cards for the current month filed ahead of divider #1. Do not file current installation cards prior to advancing the previous month’s cards.
be completed by your service technician and returned to your office. When it is returned, the check for “Special
Service Call” signifies that the service and warranty record card for this installation probably will not be found following a divider tab scheduled for service this month. When the record card is located, fill in the service call date for the next prescheduled inspection and file the service card in chronological order behind the service and warranty record card. When the next prescheduled inspection for this system is due, service will be considered complete.
MAILING SERVICE POLICIES
SCHEDULING SINGULAIR SERVICE INSPECTIONS
Four semi-annual service inspections are to be completed after the system has been installed. They are scheduled after six, twelve, eighteen and twenty-four months. To determine which systems are due inspections each month, update the Singulair service file with a new month divider on the first day of the month and remove all cards from behind divider tabs 6, 12, 18, and 24. Fill out one three-part service inspection record card for each system with system model number, all aerator model and serial numbers, county, owner’s name, address and directions to the site. Be sure this information is duplicated on all three sections of the card. The other side of the card will be filled out by the service technician at the site. If this is to be the 24th month inspection and the owner has not returned a service contract, check the box on all three portions of the card indicating that the service policy has expired.
Give the service inspection record cards to the service manager.
Initial Singulair service is in effect for the first twenty-four months of system operation. After that time the owner is invited to continue service on an annual basis. Service contracts should be mailed in the twenty-second month of system operation. After updating the service file at the beginning of each month, remove all service and warranty record cards from behind divider tab #22 and mail a service contract and cover letter to each. Follow-up each
Your service technicians must fill in the remaining items on both sides of each card as they make the inspections. The top portion is torn off and left with the owner. The lower two portions are returned to the office. The middle portion of the card is for health department notification. Most health departments prefer that these cards are collected by the distributor and mailed in monthly rather than individually.
The bottom portion of the service card is retained for your records. It should be filed behind the service and warranty record card for that installation. This allows all records of service inspections for each installation to be filed together.
As you file the service inspection cards, you should update the service and warranty record card with the date and results of your service inspection.
EMERGENCY SERVICE CALLS
Occasionally you may be asked to service a Singulair system in advance of its next prescheduled inspection.
When the service request is taken, look up the service and warranty record card in the service file. Use it to prepare a new three-part service inspection card and check the box for “Special Service Call.” This service inspection card must
MAIL SERVICE POLICIES AT 22 AND 23 MONTHS mailing to owners who have not responded to your 22nd month notice by remailing to all service and warranty record cards behind divider tab #23 whose contracts have not been renewed. Record the dates of these mailings on the registration card.

RENEWED SERVICE POLICIES LAPSED SERVICE CONTRACT RENEWALS
If an executed service contract and fee are received by the end of the two year service period, the service and warranty record card (followed by four completed service inspection cards) is retained in the service file. Service policy inspections after the initial two year program are performed in the same fashion as initial inspections. Cards each month from behind divider tabs 6, 12, 18 and 24 and from behind tabs which are multiples of six: 30, 36, 42, 48, etc. are used to schedule routine service for the month.
Fill out three-part service cards for each installation and continue to file completed service inspection cards chronologically behind individual service and warranty record cards. Remember to update the service and warranty record cards for each installation as service contract inspections are performed.
Continued service policies are renewed annually. Renewal service contracts should automatically be mailed in their tenth month. They should be done monthly when initial service contracts are mailed to owners in the twenty-second month of Singulair system operation. In any given month, service contracts due to expire in two months will be located behind divider tabs #34, 46, 58 and so forth.
Second mailings may be made from cards located behind divider tabs #35, 47, 59, etc. excluding those whose renewal contracts have been returned.
Executed service contracts should be filed alphabetically by owner’s name in a separate file. Multiple copies for owners who consistently renew their contracts should be attached to each other and organized chronologically.
From time to time an owner may wish to renew a service contract which had been permitted to lapse. When the executed contract and fee are received, remove the service and warranty record card, with all service cards, from the alphabetical master file. Only the 4 x 6 master card should remain. Refile all other cards in the active service file behind the divider tab it would have been found in, according to system age as if the service policy had been continuously in force. This filing order will allow you to use the procedures already established for service scheduling and renewal policy mailings.
INSTALLATION OF EXCHANGE AERATORS
When an owner uses the lifetime exchange program to receive a new aerator, the three year limited warranty begins again. However, the two year initial service program does not. No service is performed unless a service contract is in effect. When the exchange aerator is installed, a new warranty registration is included. The top portion, containing the new aerator serial number is to be kept with the Owner’s Manual. The middle portion must be signed by the owner and returned to the factory. The lower portion is filed behind the original card in the Singulair customer master file or service file, whichever is appropriate. Note on the new card the aerator installation date and also mark the card that the six, twelve, eighteen and twenty-four month inspections will not apply. Record the exchange unit serial number and installation date on the 4 x 6 card in the alphabetical master file. It is important that service and warranty record cards be retained for installations with exchange aerators because future determinations of aerator age will be based upon the original system start-up date.
INACTIVE SINGULAIR INSTALLATIONS
If an executed service contract and fee are not returned by the end of the twenty-fourth month of system operation, the installation is considered inactive. Its service and warranty record cards and all service cards must be removed from the active service file. They are refiled behind the alphabetical listing card in the Singulair customer master file. Inactive cards remain in this file unless the owner executes a new service contract at a later date. All renewed service contract holders whose contracts lapse must also have their cards transferred to the alphabetical file. If an owner requests service on an out-of-warranty system, service should be performed on a time and materials basis. A three-part service card must be completed as usual and the distributor’s copy should be returned to the office and filed in order behind the last service card for the installation.

SINGULAIR
®
SYSTEM AND CONTROL CENTER SERVICE
To maximize owner protection, the Singulair Bio-Kinetic wastewater treatment system is backed by a three year limited warranty on system components and a lifetime aerator exchange program. The initial selling price includes a series of four prescheduled service inspections at six month intervals which cover the first two years of system operation. These inspections should completely familiarize the owner with the Singulair Bio-Kinetic wastewater treatment system and answer any questions that arise. Carefully check all component parts of the Singulair system to insure proper operation and overall wastewater treatment quality. Regular service inspections by qualified technicians establish an excellent relationship with the owner as well as with local health officials. They must be performed faithfully to keep you up-to-date on the performance of each Singulair system you have installed.
While making service inspections during the intial two year period, be sure to explain to the owner that they are being performed at no charge and that the same coverage can be renewed on a continuing basis at a nominal charge following the initial two year program. Point out the advantages of continuous protection with the service contract. Be sure to remember that service contract sales have advantages for the distributor as well. They result in more efficient service inspection scheduling with more actual “service time” and less “travel time” per day. These savings can be passed on to the owner through more attractive renewal contract fees in future years.
All of the equipment and tools needed for Singulair system service work are contained in the Singulair field service cart and
Tool Kaddy. You will also need exchange Bio-Kinetic systems, a supply of Blue Crystal disinfecting tablets and a supply of
Bio-Neutralizer dechlorination tablets. Bio-Kinetic systems may be supplied with or without Blue Crystal and Bio-Neutralizer chemical feed systems. Therefore, check your Distributor Service and Warranty Record Card carefully to be sure you have selected exchange Bio-Kinetic systems with correct flow distribution decks.
SINGULAIR SYSTEM SERVICE PROVIDES CONTINUOUS
OWNER PROTECTION WITH THESE ADVANTAGES
• Travel and labor costs during service inspections are provided at no charge to the owner.
• Owner has an up-to-date, written record of the condition of the Singulair aerator, control center and
Bio-Kinetic system.
• Special service calls that may be necessary during the program are performed at no charge to the owner.
• Owner is continuously informed of the treatment quality provided by the system.
• Owner’s investment, property and the environment are fully protected.
• Routine maintenance is performed by factory-trained service technicians; no owner maintenance is required.
• Guaranteed response to emergency service requests is made within forty-eight hours.
• Owner can expect maximum aerator life and minimal power consumption costs due to regular, qualified service visits.
• Local health department is automatically notified of system condition by the distributor.
These instructions are designed to cover the important points of Singulair Bio-Kinetic system operation which should be checked during each service inspection. They have been arranged in normal service order to assure that you make the most efficient use of your time. While a visual check is normally sufficient to be certain that each item is in proper working order, several items listed in this manual are indications of potential problems. If anything unusual is encountered, refer to the

TIME CLOCK SETTING AND SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
The design of the Singulair system incorporates 48 hour retention and non-mechanical flow equalization to provide continuous treatment. The performance of the Singulair system has been tested and certified with the aerator operating on a minimum run cycle of 30 minutes per hour and no adjustment should be made to the factory preset time clock setting without following the detailed steps outlined in these instructions.
INTRODUCTION
The biological processes in the aeration chamber of the
Singulair system convert wastewater to microorganisms, carbon dioxide and water. The Singulair system is designed so that the aerator will operate 30 minutes out of each hour.
Under typical organic loading conditions, this run cycle will maintain a balance between organic loading and the level of microorganisms in the aeration chamber. If an increase in organic loading occurs, increasing the aerator run time will result in additional aerobic digestion and allow the biological balance to be maintained. Prior to adjusting the aerator run cycle, a complete Singulair system service inspection, including pretreatment chamber evaluation, aerator service and measurement of air delivery must be performed. Whenever the pretreatment chamber is pumped, the system should be given time to achieve a biological balance before considering time cycle adjustment.
Adjustments to the aerator run cycle should not be made within one week of any other system process changes, including system pump out or extended vacation.
NITRIFICATION AND DENITRIFICATION
Nitrification is the oxidation of nitrogen compounds
(primarily ammonia) that results in the production of nitrates.
This process improves the quality of the effluent returned to the environment and is an important step in wastewater treatment. Nitrification is routinely performed by the
Singulair system and the level of performance is directly linked to biological balance within the system.
Denitrification will only occur if nitrification has already taken place. Denitrification is the process of breaking down nitrates into oxygen and nitrogen. The Bio-Static sludge return prevents denitrification (sludge bulking) in the clarification chamber by continuously returning solids to the aeration chamber. Denitrification will occur in the aeration chamber if the aerator time cycle is properly adjusted. To accomplish denitrification, the aerator off cycle must be long enough to allow the aerobic bacteria to consume the available dissolved oxygen and the nitrate bound oxygen, thereby returning the nitrogen to its natural state. It is important that the aerator have a long enough off cycle to deplete dissolved oxygen levels in the aeration chamber in order to achieve partial or total denitrification.
SETTLEABLE SOLIDS TEST
To determine if an adjustment to the aerator run cycle is required, a Settleable Solids Test must be conducted.
See Singulair Tank Pumping Instructions for details on performing this test. Too much air being introduced to the system (overaeration) will negatively affect operating characteristics. This condition is indicated by finely divided particles and/or crisp, white foam floating in the Settleable Solids
Test or aeration chamber. The supernatant will be turbid (cloudy) with fine suspended particles
(pin floc). Solids will be lighter brown, almost white, in color.
SET. SOL. TEST
Overaeration will not allow proper settling of the treated wastewater and may adversely affect system performance. Likewise, too little air being introduced to the system (underaeration) will cause the system to operate at less than its maximum efficiency.
Underaeration is indicated by darker and more coarse solids in the Settleable Solids Test or aeration chamber and may have a dark, thick foam or scum layer on the top. This condition is similar in appearance to organic overloading and the system may have a foul or septic odor. The supernatant will have a grey, almost dishwater, appearance. Solids will have a grainy appearance and will settle more compactly due to their thickness and greater density.
To check for nitrification during the Settleable Solids Test, allow the sample to sit undisturbed for 2 to 3 hours. The nitrogen (fine bubbles) being released should cause all or a portion of the solids to float to the top. This process is called sludge bulking and is actually denitrification occurring in the sample container. The solids may then break up and settle to the bottom of the sample. For
Singulair systems with more than one aerator, the
Settleable Solids Test should be conducted on a sample from each aeration chamber. The results of all tests should be averaged to evaluate system operation.
TIME CLOCK SETTING AND SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.)
The results of the Settleable Solids Test should be evaluated using the following chart:

Manual. Review Owner’s Manual with owner.
Adjustment
Required
Evaluate pretreatment chamber.
Increase aerator run time if required.
DISSOLVED OXYGEN TEST
A dissolved oxygen (DO) test can be conducted on the aeration chamber contents to confirm overaeration or underaeration. The DO test can be performed on site using a properly calibrated portable DO meter with probe.
The DO level can also be accurately determined through the use of an inexpensive colormetric test performed on a properly filtered sample from the aeration chamber. DO in the aeration chamber typically ranges from 0.5 mg/L to 9.5 mg/L and fluctuates according to cycle time and other factors including temperature and solids level.
Comparison samples must be taken at the same point during the aerator run cycle because DO levels will vary according to cycle time. DO levels in the aeration chamber must be greater than 2.0 mg/L at the end of the aerator run cycle to accomplish nitrification and less than 0.5 mg/L at the end of the aerator off cycle to accomplish denitrification. A properly balanced system will have more than sufficient air during the run cycle to allow nitrification to take place and will deplete DO during the off cycle sufficiently to allow partial or complete denitrification.
Some areas have specific DO requirements for effluent returned to the environment and the same tests can be conducted on final effluent samples. The treatment processes of the Singulair system will cause effluent DO to differ from aeration chamber DO levels. Typical effluent
DO will range from 1.0 mg/L to 6.0 mg/L depending on location, temperature and time of year.
HYDRAULIC OVERLOADING
Hydraulic overloading of the Singulair system is an indication that too much liquid is coming into the plant. This situation can adversely affect biological treatment and should be corrected immediately. Leak testing should be performed on toilets, faucets and other fixtures that discharge into the domestic wastewater plumbing to be sure that they shut off completely when not in use. Confirm that roofing down spouts, sump pump piping and other improper connections are not discharging into the Singulair system. Crushed or leaking influent sewer lines can cause groundwater to enter the system and should be thoroughly checked by a qualified contractor.
ORGANIC OVERLOADING
The Singulair system is designed to handle typical domestic waste. Occasionally, a specific application may result in excessive organic loading to the system. If you encounter an organic overload, the aerator run cycle can be adjusted in five minute increments up to continuous run.
Instruct the owner regarding proper use of the system as described in the Singulair Owner’s Manual.

TIME CLOCK SETTING AND SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.)
PRIOR TO SYSTEM ADJUSTMENT HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS
The Singulair aerator delivers more than 150% of the air required by nationally recognized wastewater treatment design standards. This abundant supply of air allows the
Singulair system to be installed at high elevations without special consideration. At an elevation of 6,500 feet above sea level, the available oxygen is approximately 23% less than at sea level. In high altitude installations, adjustment to the aerator run cycle should be made based on the same evaluation procedures used for all Singulair systems.
INTERMITTENT USAGE
When the Singulair system is to be used intermittently (one day per week or a few days per month), the aerator run cycle should be adjusted to the minimum setting. When low usage or non-use periods are expected, precautions should be taken to insure the protection of system components. If an extended period of non-use (four months) is anticipated, the distributor should suggest complete system shut down and removal of components. This may only be done with the full knowledge and approval of the local regulatory agency.
The final decision to shut down the system rests with the owner. The decision should be based on the same criteria as other seasonal or non-occupancy arrangements, such as care of hot water tanks, water pipes, refrigerators or freezers. The owner should arrange for the local distributor to remove and store the aerator and chemical feed tube(s) after vacancy. The service technician should place the control center selector switch in the “off” position.
Arrangements must be made for the distributor to re-install
Singulair system components before the site is to be re-occupied. Normal installation procedures, as outlined in the Singulair Service Manual, should be followed by the distributor when re-starting a system.
COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS
Local regulatory officials must be informed whenever a time cycle adjustment is made. Regulatory agencies should participate in the adjustment decision and standard procedures should include consultation with regulators before any adjustment is made. Norweco distributors and service personnel should attempt to build and maintain a close relationship with regulatory officials. Consulting with regulators and owners before adjusting a Singulair time clock should strengthen communication and keep all parties properly informed. In instances where a close working relationship already exists with local regulatory officials, regulators may allow service personnel to submit notification after an adjustment has been made. Such a practice should only occur when a strong relationship exists between distributor and regulator and with the full knowledge and approval of the regulatory agency.
The Service Pro control center is designed and manufactured to provide an aerator run cycle of at least 30 minutes per hour. The aerator run cycle can be adjusted, but in no case can the aerator operate less than 30 minutes per hour.
Use the Singulair flowmeter to determine that the proper amount of air is being introduced into the system. If the flowmeter confirms that the Singulair aerator is infusing the proper amount of air, proceed with the Settleable
Solids test. Should the
Settleable Solids or
Dissolved Oxygen tests indicate that a time cycle increase is desirable, turn the Service Pro control center time clock dial to the “continuous” position. Allow the system to operate on
“continuous” run for a few weeks until the service technician is available to check the system and speak with the owner. If the system has not returned to
SINGULAIR FLOWMETER normal operation, the system is experiencing a problem other than with the time cycle and alternatives must be investigated. Refer to the “Hydraulic
Overloading” and “Organic Overloading” sections of these instructions.
If the change to “continuous” run has solved the operational problem, the time clock should be adjusted to bring the system into biological balance. When the service technician returns to the site, and operation has returned to normal, the technician should adjust the time clock to reflect the deviation in loading from the original time clock setting. Adjust the aerator run cycle to half way between
“continuous” run and the original time clock setting (e.g. if the original setting was 30 minutes, adjust the time cycle to 45 minutes out of each hour). Instruct the owner to monitor the system and notify you of any problems. After at least one month, when a service technician is available and in the geographic area, check the system again.
Additional adjustments may be necessary to completely balance the system.
TIME CLOCK SETTING AND SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.)
TIME CLOCK ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Use a small blade screwdriver to rotate the time clock dial to the desired position. Do not use excessive force when turning the time clock dial.
Singulair systems with more than one aerator must have all control centers set for the aerators to operate on identical run cycles. Follow these steps to adjust the time clock:
1.
Open the control center enclosure and place the selector switch in the “off” position.
2.
Rotate the time clock dial clockwise until the arrow molded into in the dial is aligned with the desired run time setting.
3.
Place the selector switch in the “on” position.
AERATOR RUN CYCLE
4.
Close the control center cover and secure it with a tamper evident seal.
5.
Record the new aerator run cycle on the Service
Inspection Card.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
The operation of the Service Pro control center can be verified on site through a series of tests. Before testing the Service Pro control center operation, insure the aerator is installed in the Singulair tank and the watertight electrical connector is plugged into the aerator power cord. To restart the aerator time clock cycle, place the selector switch in the control panel momentarily in the
“off” position. Return the selector switch to the “on” position. The aerator should now be operating.
RESET BUTTON AND SELECTOR SWITCH
Allow the aerator to operate for 60 seconds before proceeding. If the aerator turns off or the alarms on the control center activate, an aerator over current condition has been detected or a problem has been detected in the Service Pro control center.
To test the aerator under current detection feature, simply unplug the watertight electrical connector from the aerator power cord. The visual alarm indicator on the control center should begin to flash within five seconds. Plug the electrical connector into the aerator power cord. The aerator should resume normal operation within five minutes and the visual alarm indicator on the control center will turn off.
To test the audible and visual alarms, hold the reset button in for five seconds. The alarms will activate for a five second period and then turn off.
Should the Service Pro control center require any service, replace the entire control center insert.
CAUTION: Be sure to shut off the Singulair circuit breaker in the main electrical service panel before any repairs are made. Confirm that the incoming electrical service reads zero volts before proceeding with control center insert replacement. Refer to
Control Center Wiring and Installation Instructions for details on replacement of the control center insert.

AERATOR SERVICE
The Singulair aerator has been specifically designed for use in the Singulair Green system and is the only electro-mechanical component. It provides maximum air introduction, thorough mixing and assures reliable, economical wastewater treatment. The Singulair aerator is factory lubricated for the life of the unit. No service inside the aerator is required.
Unauthorized disassembly will void the warranty. If a problem is suspected with the aerator, return it to Norweco for warranty replacement or exchange.
CAUTION: Any time an aerator or test equipment is connected or disconnected, first shut “off” the selector switch in the control center. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
1.
Open the control center and push the reset button on the Service Pro panel.
2.
As you approach the Singulair Green tank, listen for excessive noise before removing the vented cover.
3.
Remove the vented access cover located above the aeration chamber and place it aside. The aerator should be operating normally.
4.
Make sure the debris screens are in place in the air intake ports. Manually check the aerator brackets for excessive vibration.
5.
Check the aeration chamber for odor. A musty odor indicates the presence of aerobic conditions essential for good treatment. A septic odor indicates inadequate aeration, suggesting that the passage of air into the tank contents has been restricted.
6.
Carefully remove the debris screens from the air intake ports. Wipe the aerator air intake ports with a damp cloth being careful not to allow dirt or debris to enter the intake openings.
7.
Using the Singulair flowmeter, check the air delivery. It should read approximately 3 CFM. Refer to the
Singulair Aerator Flowmeter instruction sheet for complete details.
8.
Inspect the outside of the electrical connector assembly for worn spots. Uncouple the connector and check for any evidence of moisture inside. Secure the closure cap over the female half of the connector to keep it clean and dry while you work.
9.
Within 2-3 minutes after turning off the aerator, perform a settleable solids test of the aeration chamber contents. Refer to Singulair Green Tank Pumping instructions for details.
10. Remove the aerator from the mounting riser. BE
CAREFUL when removing the aerator to see that the aspirator shaft does not come in contact with the mounting riser. The aspirator shaft is straightened to a critical tolerance before it is shipped from the factory. It must retain this straightness tolerance or vibration may result. Excessive vibration can greatly shorten aerator life and could also cause the unit to consume more electrical power than necessary.
11. Check the rubber shock absorbers on each bracket for wear. Replace any that are missing or worn.
12. Check the power cord from the moisture resistant electrical connector to the aerator. Be sure it is free of nicks or worn spots.
13. Lay the aerator on its side against the aerator mounting riser or vented cover. Check to see if there is a water mark on the outside of the aerator and notify the owner if one is found. The aerator is flood proof and mechanically designed so that it can return to normal operation unharmed after being subjected to intermittent high water. However, a high water mark on the outside of the aerator does indicate there is a problem in the effluent disposal line, disposal field or elsewhere in the installation. If the problem is left uncorrected, wastewater could back up into the tank, void the aerator warranty and eventually flood the facility.
PLACE AERATOR AGAINST COVER
SINGULAIR ® AERATOR SERVICE (Cont.)
14. Carefully loosen the two stainless steel set screws on the bottom of the intermediate shaft and remove the aspirator shaft. Remove any internal deposits from the four aspirator orifices with the aspirator shaft cleaning tool.
Connect the aspirator shaft to the shaft cleaning hose and outside water faucet to flush the inside of the aspirator shaft clean. Use full water pressure. Remove the shaft from the cleaning hose and inspect the bore to see that it is clean.
15. Push the stainless steel brush with extension handle through the stainless steel intermediate shaft and hollow motor shaft to dislodge any residue that may have accumulated. NOTE: Do not flush the motor shaft with water. Remove any debris from the air intake openings.
16. Thoroughly clean both the bottom and the top surfaces of the foam restrictor.
17. Reinstall the aspirator shaft into the intermediate shaft.
Match the permanent alignment marks on the aspirator and intermediate shafts to maintain the original factory balance. Tighten the set screws with a tee-handle allen wrench, finger tight only. Too much pressure may dish the side of the aspirator shaft and compromise the straightness tolerance.
18. Clean or replace the four air intake debris screens. Make sure one screen is placed in each intake opening to prevent debris from entering the aerator.
19. Visually check the aeration chamber surface for the presence of grease or oil. An accumulation of these materials indicates the pretreatment chamber should be evaluated. Refer to Singulair Green Tank Pumping instructions for details.
20. Check the aeration chamber for the presence of non-biodegradable materials, paper, mop fibers, hair, grease or oil. A significant accumulation of these materials in the aeration chamber indicates the pretreatment chamber should be evaluated. Refer to Singulair Green
Tank Pumping instructions for details.
21. Inspect the underground power cable in the aerator mounting riser for breaks or scars in the insulation.
Examine the inside of the mounting riser for evidence of ground water entry.
22. Carefully reinstall the aerator in the mounting riser.
Do not allow the aspirator shaft to touch the mounting riser side walls. Make sure the weight of the aerator is evenly distributed on the upper end of all four mounting brackets.
23. Using a multi-meter, check the voltage at the electrical connector. The meter should read 115 volts ± 5% when the selector switch in the Service Pro control center has been placed in the “on” position. Record the voltage on the Service Inspection Card.
24. Wipe the aerator electrical connector with a clean, dry cloth to remove moisture or dirt accumulated during service. Plug the electrical test pigtail in between the male and female electrical connectors and check the amperage of the newly serviced aerator. The aerator should not draw more than 4.2 amps. Record the amperage on the Service Inspection Card. NOTE: When the aerator is started for the first time, the break-in period may cause the amp draw to be as high as 4.4 amps for the first 48 hours of operation.
25. Inspect the perimeter vent area in the aerator access cover and clear the fresh air openings of any debris to insure unrestricted passage of air. Reinstall the access cover on the mounting riser.
26. Make the appropriate notations regarding the aerator, the results of the settleable solids test and related items on the Service Inspection Card.
27. Proceed with clarification chamber service as outlined in the Clarification Chamber and Bio-Kinetic Service instructions. When the routine service is complete, return to the Service Pro control center and confirm that the selector switch has been returned to the “on” position.
Close the control center cover and secure it with a new tamper evident seal.
IF AN AERATOR MUST BE REMOVED
The service technician should be able to restore most installations to full operation during the initial service call. If the aerator is no longer eligible for the three-year limited warranty, the aerator should be removed and replaced with a remanufactured and fully warranted exchange unit from your rotating stock. This will become the permanent aerator in service at the facility and your company’s service records should be updated to reflect the new aerator serial number. If the serial number portion of the Warranty Registration Card is still attached to the control center, be sure to fill in the new serial number for the owner. When you have accumulated several aerators requiring factory service, return them to
Norweco. This reduces administrative time and the cost of shipment per unit. When remanufactured aerators are returned to you, add them to your rotating stock. In this way, the installation is restored to full service with a fully warranted unit in only one service trip.
EXCHANGE AERATOR COSTS
You may compute exact costs for exchange aerators during your service inspection since the cost is determined by system age, regardless of condition. Exchange rates are given on the
Singulair Warranty and Exchange Program data sheet. In cases where the aerator has failed under warranty, you should replace it with a loaner unit to insure continued operation of the system and protect effluent quality. Return the warranted unit to the factory immediately for replacement and schedule reinstallation with the owner at the earliest possible convenience when it is returned to you.

FILTER MEDIA REPLACEMENT KIT INSTRUCTIONS
The filter media replacement kit is provided so that repair of a Bio-Kinetic system with worn or damaged media may be easily accomplished, if required, during the routine service cycle. Media replacement should be done only when necessary and only by a factory-trained technician as part of maintaining a stock of exchange Bio-Kinetic systems. Media replacement should be performed at your place of business rather than at the installation site. Replacement of properly functioning media will not improve operational performance and is not recommended.
The filter media replacement kit contains the following items to be used during replacement:
One cylindrical filter media section, made up of design and peak flow media, lock-stitched together with bonded nylon thread for maximum strength and durability.
Two retainer straps, one inserted into each stitched hem located at both ends of the filter media cylinder.
One separate retainer strap to place around the outside of the center stitched seam connecting the peak flow and design flow media.
The following equipment is required from the Bio-Kinetic system Tool Kaddy:
rubber gloves
safety face shield or goggles
retainer strap tool
No adhesive is necessary to attach the media to the Bio-Kinetic system when utilizing the replacement kit. Media replacement, when performed as outlined in these instructions, will bring the unit up to new system standards. For instructions regarding removal and reinstallation of the Bio-Kinetic system from the Singulair tank, refer to the instructions contained in the Clarification Chamber and Bio-Kinetic Service section of the Singulair Service Manual.
1.
Remove the Bio-Kinetic system from the service container. Rinse the container and lid. Rotate the four locking lugs to the outboard position on the Bio-Kinetic system. Remove the gasketed discharge flange assembly from the flow deck and rinse it with water.

SETTLING ZONE AND INTERNAL
COMPONENTS FROM CONTACT CHAMBER
2.
Insert the disassembly tool beneath each of the strap handles on the flow deck. Pull up on the disassembly tool to remove the flow deck and internal system components from the contact chamber and set the internal components aside. Use the water hose and spray nozzle to wash the inside of the contact chamber.
3.
Use the water hose to wash off the filter media. Spray until all sludge and dirt have been flushed from the media. Now invert the filter assembly and flush accumulated material from the baffled perimeter settling zone. Inspect the perimeter settling zone to be certain that it is totally clean. Check the flow equalization ports to be sure they are clean and unobstructed.
4.
Remove the black rubber outlet grommet from the outlet opening. With a knife, cut and remove the three retainer straps and the old filter media from the Bio-Kinetic system. Take care not to damage the contact chamber or baffled perimeter settling zone. Clean any accumulation of adhesive from the horizontal grooves at the top, middle and bottom of the contact chamber. With a wet rag, clean the outside of the contact chamber to insure ease of installation of the new filter media and straps. Inspect the design flow, sustained flow and peak flow ports again to be sure they are clean and unobstructed. Be sure there are no burrs on the inside, as well as, the outside surface of each port.
FILTER MEDIA REPLACEMENT KIT INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.)
5.
Remove the locking lugs, bolts, nuts and washers from the top flange of the Bio-Kinetic system. Turn the contact chamber over with the top flange resting on a clean even surface.
6.
Starting with the peak flow filter end, slide the replacement filter media cylinder onto the contact chamber. The filter media cylinder will fit tightly against the baffles of the perimeter settling zone. Some effort will be required to slide the media over the contact chamber. Rubber gloves will provide the friction necessary for proper media installation. Be careful not to damage the filter media or retainer straps.
7.
The stitched hem at each end of the filter media cylinder has a retainer strap with plastic buckle. Install the filter media so that the retainer strap buckle is seated on the corner of the outlet boss of the contact chamber. This position is on the corner closest to one of the locking lugs on either side of the viewing port.
ALIGN BUCKLES WITH CORNER
8.
Engage the peak flow retainer strap into the horizontal groove closest to the top flange of the contact chamber. Once in position, tighten the strap with the retainer strap tool. The strap should be tightened enough to permanently locate the filter media in position. Make sure the buckle remains on the corner of the outlet boss. Do not over-tighten the strap.
Over-tightening could warp the contact chamber. Once the strap is secured, cut off the excess strapping material with the retainer strap tool.
9.
Attach the retainer strap tool to the strap at the bottom of the design flow media. Tighten the strap until all wrinkles have been removed from the filter and the media cylinder is taut and firmly drawn against the baffles of the contact chamber. Do not over-tighten the media. Cut off the excess strapping material with the strap tool.
TRIM MEDIA FROM OUTLET WITH KNIFE
10. Place the third, separate retainer strap over the seam that joins the design flow and peak flow media. Make sure this strap is properly engaged in the locating grooves molded into the baffles of the contact chamber. Place the buckle on the edge of the outlet boss in alignment with the other two. Using the retainer strap tool, tighten the strap over the seam and secure the buckle on the outlet boss corner. Once the strap has been firmly tightened, cut off the excess strapping material with the strap tool.
11. With a knife, trim the media from the outlet of the
Bio-Kinetic system using the outlet opening as a guide.
The hole in the filter media should not be larger than the outlet opening. Remove the trimmed media and reinstall the black rubber grommet. NOTE: When reinstalling the grommet, make sure the media surrounding the outlet opening stays between the contact chamber and the outboard flange of the grommet. Correct reinstallation of the grommet is important for proper Bio-Kinetic system operation.
12. Reinstall all four locking lugs with the bolts, nuts and washers originally supplied.
Proceed with the remaining steps outlined in Bio-Kinetic
System Cleaning and Disassembly Instructions. If no service is required, reassemble the Bio-Kinetic system according to Bio-Kinetic Cleaning and Disassembly
Instructions and return the system to your service stock.
