All electrical work to be carried out by a qualified electrician using suitable materials for the application. • Do not open the Tricel Pumping Chamber’s cover without firstly isolating the mains power. • Electrical work must be carried out strictly to the manufacturer’s instructions and to the relevant national rules for electrical installations. -
Page 5: Introduction: Tricel Pumping Chamber
Tricel pumping chambers are suitable for domestic and light commercial applications and used where gravity drainage is not possible. The Tricel Pumping Chamber comes with a Tricel 75 pump as standard for treated effluent and a GRI11 for raw sewage. The GRI 11 pump is also available if greater distances or a higher head is required. -

Page 11: Inspection On Reception Of Tanks
Once the tank has been installed, Tricel cannot accept any claims for damage. 5.3 Positioning and precautions • The Tricel Pumping Chamber must be situated a minimum of 7m from the dwelling and should be as far away as practically possible considering topography and pipe work levels. •... -
Page 12: Installation Procedure
Excavation (Dry & Wet Sites) 5.5.1.1 Excavation: Length & Width Length and width of the excavation must exceed the dimensions of the Tricel Pumping Chamber by at least 500mm to maintain a minimum space of 250mm all around the tank. Tank Length Tank Width Min. -
Page 13: Installation - Step By Step Guide
5.5.1.2 Excavation: Depth The excavation depth is determined by the inlet and outlet pipes, invert levels relative to the bottom of the tank, and allowing for the minimum base thickness. Dimension details of the tank are shown on the relevant drawing, see Section 3.2. Ground instability e.g. running sand may necessitate over-excavation and stabilization with hard core or blinding concrete. -

Page 18: Proximity To Rolling & Static Loads
5.10.3 Proximity to rolling & static loads Minimum separation distances from: • Rolling Loads (e.g. vehicle traffic): 4 metres • Static Loads (e.g. dwelling house, shed): 3 metres If the tank is installed in an area where traffic or other superimposed loadings can be applied, consult a structural engineer for the design of a reinforced concrete slab to prevent the load being transmitted to the tank (or its concrete surround). -
Page 19: Wiring Procedure
5.11.1 Wiring Procedure: • Wire the float into the alarm panel. • First crimp the brown and black cores. • Put the brown into the second live terminal and the black into terminal L See Figures below:... -
Page 21: Plumbing The Tricel Pumping Chamber
The Tricel Pumping Chamber with a Tricel 75 pump and Domo GRI 11 pump will have a 1 ½ Inch outlet (Philmac compression fitting). The inlet to the pumping chamber will be a 4-inch pipe socket. A 4-inch sewer pipe is plumbed from the house to the tank with a fall to the tank so sewerage will flow into the pumping chamber. -
Page 22: Pump Specifications
6.1 Tricel 75 Tricel 75 is the basic pump which is used to pump wastewater over a short distance with a low head. The Tricel 75 is capable of handling solids of up to 35mm in diameter. To operate correctly, make sure the On/Off float of the pump can move freely and that it is not snagging against the divider or the side of a tank. -

Page 27: High-Level Float
If the alarm is activated, the home owner should contact Tricel to send out a technician with a replacement pump. To operate correctly, make sure the float can move freely and that it is not snagging against the side of a tank. -
Page 28: Non-Return Valve
Once the Tricel Pumping Chamber is installed and operational, it is important that it’s commissioned by our service team or a Tricel Pumping Chamber distributor to ensure it is working effectively. A commissioning certificate will then be issued to the customer. -
Page 29: Disposal Of Treated Water
8 Disposal of Treated Water The water discharged from Tricel Pumping Chamber should be disposed of as per guidelines from the planning regulations issued by your local authority. 9 Maintenance Warning Any maintenance carried out inside the tank represents a confined space. Therefore, the maintenance person must be suitably trained to work in confined spaces. -
Page 30: Sludging (Emptying The Solid Waste From The Pumping Chamber)
Replace the de-sludging access covers/cap securely. 10 Operating Conditions Warning Tricel shall not be liable for any damage or loss, including consequential loss, caused by the failure of any plumbing equipment or failure caused by the inclusion of prohibited material, in the pumping chamber. - Page 31 Service personnel must be provided with clear access to the Tricel Pumping Chamber. • If others size the Tricel Pumping Chamber, Tricel will supply to these specifications. In this case, the responsibility lies with others in relation to the maximum flow/litres per day, the Tricel Pumping Chamber capacity and retention times.

Page 32: Troubleshooting
11 Troubleshooting Properly installed, operated and maintained pumping chambers will give many years of trouble free service. All pumping chambers are fitted with an alarm, which will alert of irregularities in the pumping chamber. If a pump stops working a buzzer will sound to indicate there is a problem with the pumping chamber. The buzzer can be muted until the problem is fixed. -
