NFPA 70/National Electric Code (NEC) or local
codes must be followed. System must be properly
grounded according to NEC.
DANGER – Biohazard risk. Once wastewater
source has been connected to system, biohazard
risk exists. Installer(s) and/or service personnel
must use proper personal protective equipment
and follow handling procedures per OSHA 29
CFR 1910.1030 when handling equipment after
wastewater source has been connected to system.
DANGER – Risk of fire or explosion. Do not smoke
or use open flames in or around this system.
This system is not intended for use in hazardous
locations per NFPA 70 National Electric Code.
Consult factory for optional equipment rated for
this use.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
This product and related
accessories contain chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
INSTALLATION SKILL REQUIREMENTS
The installation of a basin system is a specialized
skill, which requires individuals with the basic
understanding of excavating, pipe fitting, and
electrical wiring. These instructions are meant only to
be an installation guide; therefore, unusual installation
conditions not covered in these instructions require
experienced personnel capable of using reasonable
engineering principles for the installation and
operation of the system.
EXCAVATION INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER – Excavation location. Excavation
location shall be made according to local codes and
regulations. Check with local utility companies for the
location of underground utilities prior to excavation.
Care should be taken to avoid buried utility lines,
piping, and other buried structures and foundations.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in
serious personal injury or death.
BASIN INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION – If the basin is not tied down during
installation, rain or flood conditions may cause
the basin to float upward, causing damage to the
basin or basin connections.
Basin System Handling: Factory built basin systems
must not be dropped, dragged, rolled, or handled
with sharp objects. Improper handling of basins
may result in damage to the basin, damage to basin
components, or leaks in the piping assemblies.
Step 1: The pad under the basin requires 4 to 6
inches of appropriate fill. The ideal basin pad is
concrete in conjunction with anti-flotation tie-down
studs. Basin anti-flotation tie-down kits are available
from Pentair Water. If concrete pad is not used, the
aggregate must be compacted to a minimum 85%
standard proctor density per ASTM 0698, or as
required by the authority having jurisdiction. Concrete
pad or aggregate surface must be leveled flat and
free of voids to conform to the basin bottom. Basin
bedding depth should be calculated such that the
basin top will protrude 3" above the normal grade
upon final installation.
Step 2: Lifting of the basin may be done with a
nylon or other nondamaging type material sling. Do
not wrap a chain or steel cable around the basin as
damage may result. The two T-shaped molded-in lugs
may be used for lifting the basin. Do not attach lifting
mechanism around discharge hub or electrical hub.
DANGER – Failure to properly support electrical
conduit, lines and connections may result in
structural failure. Electrical connections may be
damaged exposing live electrical connections.
Step 3: Lower the basin into excavation, position and
level properly. Mount basin to base anchor bolts if an
anti-flotation tie-down kit is used. If basin is fiberglass,
inspect fiberglass basin and seal off any cuts or
scratches to prevent fiberglass deterioration.
