Start-up Procedure
After competition of the installation, plug the power cord into the designated 115 volt outlet. Allow the
system to fill with wastewater or fill the tank with clear water. Allow the equipment to operate
continuously. During the first few days you may smell a strong septic odor. This odor will disappear
after the system converts to an aerobic process.
IMPORTANT!
Contact Aero-Stream, LLC immediately if the odor is not completely
gone within five-(5) days.
Operation & Maintenance
WARNING:
Content in the following section pertains to certified Aero-Stream providers only! Property
owners must contact the service provider listed on the front of this manual if product assistance is
required. A property owner is not permitted to perform any diagnostics or product servicing. Failure to
comply with these requirements is a violation of state and municipal codes.
See Initial Service on page 29 for maintenance inspection.
•
See Tank Pumping Requirements for pertinent instructions.
•
When operating properly, a sample of the mixed liquor should be tea color and free of
large suspended solids.
•
Samples are to be collected from the inside of the outlet baffle. Care must be taken not to
dislodge the bio-mass growing on the Bio-brush when collecting a sample. Including bio-
mass in the sample will skew the test results.
•
Effluent strength: Not more than 10% of the effluent CBOD
5
values shall exceed 25 mg/L.
Not more than 10% of the effluent TSS values shall exceed 30 mg/L.
Tank Pumping Requirements
Your tank(s) need to be pumped at regular intervals to ensure proper treatment of the wastewater. At a
minimum, all chambers of the tank(s) shall be pumped within three-(3) year intervals or before the
combination of sludge and scum layer exceeds 30% of the tank volume. Local ordinances may require
more frequent maintenance.
The Bio-brush clusters do not need to be removed when pumping solids from the tank. Care shall be
taken when pumping the tank to avoid sucking the Bio-brushes into the suction hose.
It is normal to have a heavy bio-mass attached to the Bio-brushes. It is not required to remove the bio
mass for proper system operation. If removal of the bio-mass is required for another type of service,
simply wash the bio-mass off of the Bio-brushes with a high pressure garden hose nozzle.
As the tank refills with wastewater, the floats on the Bio-brushes will raise the brushes vertically. After
the tank is refilled, the service provider shall visually inspect the Bio-brushes to ensure they returned to
the vertical position. If the Bio-brushes are not vertical, use a stick, rake or hoe to position them
vertically. An option to waiting for the tank to fill with wastewater is to fill the tank with clear water and
inspect the Bio-brush positions.
