CARE AND MAINTENANCE
than the mechanical and structural workings of the plant itself.
We cannot control the amount of harsh chemicals or other
harmful substances that may be discharged into the system
by the occupants of a household. We can only provide a
comprehensive owner's manual that outlines substances that
should be kept out of the system.
• Hydraulic overloading (flows in excess of design flow) may
cause the sewage treatment system not to perform to the
fullest capabilities.
• Ants have been shown to be destructive to the air pump.
Regular care should be taken to prevent infestation of ants
near the system. Damage or destruction by ants is not covered
under manufacturer's warranty.
• Your state or local health department may require other pieces
of equipment to function separately or in conjunction with
equipment manufactured by Delta Treatment Systems. Delta
is not responsible for the mechanical or electrical safety of
equipment it does not manufacture or supply with its aerobic
treatment units. Particular care should be used in evaluating
the electrical or mechanical safety of equipment manufactured
by others. This may include but not be limited to electrical
control panels or air pumps.
• Due to a possible fire hazard, DO NOT plug into service
equipment on power pole and DO NOT use extension cords.
All electrical work performed by the installer or others must
be in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and
local codes.
• The operation and maintenance outlined in this manual applies
to normal operating conditions. Extreme conditions such as
frigid cold temperature, extreme heat/or and high altitudes
may affect the operation and maintenance of this unit. Consult
the factory regarding these extreme conditions.
Failure to properly secure the top may result in a serious
health or safety hazard.
SOLIDS REMOVAL
The Whitewater® Treatment System is designed to provide
years of trouble-free operation.
Determination of the need for solids removal can be done with a
sludge judge sample. If the sludge judge indicates more than 12
inches of sludge in the bottom of the reactor tank, the treatment
plant should be pumped out. Call your local authorized sewage
disposal service to have the tank contents pumped out and
disposed of properly.
Pumping Method
• Remove any floating solids by skimming.
• The air pump must be operating to keep the solids in
suspension.
• Pump out two-thirds of the tank volume with the suction pipe
opening being placed at the tank bottom.

• After the pump-out process is complete, fill the tank with fresh
water to normal operating level.
• Refer to the Installation Instructions to get the treatment plant
back into operation.
• Should indication of improper operation be observed at any
time, contact your local authorized Delta Treatment Systems
dealer/distributor.
Note: The cost associated with pumping the treatment
system is not covered under warranty and is not included in
