The Control Panel; Periodic Pumping And Cleaning - ProFlo 500 Owner's Manual

SYSTEM OWNER'S MANUAL

The Control Panel

Each Pro Flo Wastewater Treatment System has its own control panel.
This panel is located under the aerator cover on top of the system
(location may vary). This control panel is equipped with a complete
"Systems Malfunction" alarm system. If for any reason the air pressure
in the aeration system drops or the system has high water, the alarm
will sound and the red light will come on. If you hear your alarm
system sounding, something is not working properly with your system.
You will need to call your service provider for repair. Their number
will be located on a label on the aerator cover or the control panel. A
mute switch is located on the aerator cover (location may vary) to
allow the sound to be interrupted until your service provider arrives.
WARNING!
Never attempt to service the control panel yourself. Call your
authorized service representative. As with any electrical device,
there is a chance of electrical shock if you attempt to ser vice the
system yourself.

Periodic Pumping and Cleaning

Determination of the need for pumping can be made only by a trained
service person by testing the tank's contents and/or effluent. The
pumping should be done by a competent septic tank cleaning
company. Your system should be cleaned every 3 to 5 years depending
on your daily loading. You should expect to obtain one inch of sludge
at the bottom of your system every year. If you use more water than
what the system was designed to handle, you will have more build up
in less time. This means you may need to have your system pumped
and cleaned more frequently.
