INTRODUCTION
HOW THE DELTA TREATMENT SYSTEMS
AEROBIC WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM
WORKS
The Whitewater® Aerobic Wastewater Treatment System that
you have purchased produces high quality water suitable for
various disposal methods. It is used to enhance your on-site
wastewater disposal system. You can be proud that in
purchasing your Whitewater System, with a minimum amount of
maintenance, you can directly contribute to a cleaner, safer
environment.
All wastewater treatment systems of this type work by using
the bacteria that nature has provided. By pumping air into the
system, the bacteria grow and thrive in much larger amounts
than would occur naturally. The over-population of bacteria
speeds up the process of breaking down domestic wastewater,
making it safe to release into the environment. This entire
process takes place within the walls of your specially designed,
self-contained Whitewater Treatment System.
Your Whitewater System is made up of an outer mixing
chamber and center settling chamber. Raw unsettled domestic
wastewater enters directly into the mixing chamber. Mixing is
accomplished by air passing from the air pump to the air

droplines located around the outer wall of the mixing chamber.
The design is such that solids remain in suspension with a
general flow pattern up the outer plant wall, then down the
outside of the settling chamber when the air pump is on. This
flow pattern allows a quiet condition in the settling chamber.
The mixed liquid enters the hopper-shaped settling chamber at
the bottom and travels upward toward the discharge pipe. The
quiet condition allows solids to settle down and re-enter the
mixing chamber.
The result of this process is a clear, odorless discharge, which
meets or exceeds state water quality standards.
By following the few simple steps that you find in this manual,
your Whitewater System will provide you with years of service
and the knowledge that you are doing your part to protect our
groundwater, lakes, rivers and streams.
