JET AERATOR
The aerator is the only mechanical component in your plant. It requires
no homeowner maintenance.
The aerator shaft spins and combines fresh, outside air with the
wastewater in the Jet Tank Treatment Compartment. Air travels down
the mounting casting cover air vent through the aerator and into the
tank, providing oxygen for the treatment process. Any foam is controlled
by the foam restrictor.
Aerator operation is nearly silent. If the plant is located near an open
window, you may detect the sound of air moving into the treatment tank.
For virtually silent operation, ask your Jet Distributor to install an Aerator
Silencer.
The Jet Plant uses a sealed aerator. The aerator is sealed to protect it
from damage by water. It is not designed to operate under water. If a
high water level occurs, the control panel circuit breaker will trip, shutting
off power to the aerator. The warning light will turn "on". If this happens,
press the circuit breaker reset button on the control panel to restart the
aerator.
