Treatment System Startup; Owner Maintenance, Care, And Operation Instructions - ProFlo 500 Owner's Manual

Treatment System Startup

Upon installation completion, your new system needs to be filled
with water before its first use. The installer usually performs this step
after the tanks are set. Once the system has been filled with water
and all electrical and plumbing connections have been made, you are
ready to start using your new system.
In order for the Pro Flo to be biologically stable, a population growth
of microorganisms (bacteria) will need to develop. This development
process may take from four (4) to twelve (12) weeks. It is these
bacteria that make the treatment system operate.
Owner Maintenance, Care, and
Operation Instructions
Pro Flo Home Wastewater Treatment Systems have been designed and
built to provide long term, reliable, and cost efficient service. Our
treatment plants will operate with a minimal amount of attention;
however, there are a few things you should know in order for your
new system to maintain its biological stability and give you years of
outstanding performance.
Your local regulating authorities have sized your new Pro Flo
Wastewater Treatment System for your home. This means you should
try to maintain a certain amount of daily flow into the system.* You
can find the size of your system in the back of this manual or on the
label that is attached to the motor cover or control panel on the system.
The amount of flow the system should obtain per day is as follows:

500 Gallons Per Day
600 Gallons Per Day
800 Gallons Per Day
1000 Gallons Per Day
1500 Gallons Per Day
