SECTION I -GENERAL Cornerstone III Properties is seeking a septic system permit to construct a new 4-bedroom residence on a vacant lot located at Lot 88 The Summit at Lake Norman with an address of 1357 Karriker Lane, Catawba County, North Carolina.The septic system collection, treatment and disposal system will consist of a baffled septic tank with effluent filter, Orenco AX-20 RT with TS-I advanced treatment technology with incorporated recirculation tank and field dosing tank with pumps and controls. Other components include drip headworks and subsurface disposal. Due to limited available space, soil conditions and limiting topography, a pre- treatment system and subsurface drip effluent disposal system.The design flow has been set at 480 GPD. If repair is required, then the treatment will need to be TS-II. Tyler Sgro, LSS with Davis Horizons has evaluated the area for the proposed disposal and repair area.An application rate of 0.20 G/D/SF has been recommended for the primary and repair. The effluent will be pretreated using a septic tank,Orenco Advantex AX-20 RT Module recirculating textile-media enclosed filter bed and disposed of using subsurface drip irrigation technology. These specifications and design plans have been prepared for a subsurface effluent drip disposal system using a septic tank, recirculating textile-media filter w/incorporated recirculation and field dosing tank with a single zone drip disposal system. The system is designed to accept and treat domestic waste only. No other discharge is allowed, including condensate water from HVAC systems, etc. The Engineer has designed a textile-media filter and drip irrigation system that dispenses treated effluent through drip irrigation using design criteria intended to comply with NC DEM Administrative Code 15A NCAC 2H_0200 and 15A NCAC 18A .1969, and NC DEH Onsite Section Innovative Wastewater System IWWS— 2000-02R(Geoflow Sub-Surface Drip System)and OSI Advantex Recirculating Textile-Media Filter.(IWWS- 2004-03-R4). Until plan acceptance and construction, the drip field and repair field shall be maintained undisturbed. This shall include placement of signs, ribbons, and barricades to avoid traffic, storage, or parking in the area. Encroachment by any utility or others is not permitted. The Contractor shall be prohibited from working while the site is wet. The Contractor shall contact the Engineer prior to commencement of work after rainfall.The Contractor shall consult with the Soil Scientist or Design Engineer prior to filling areas shown on plan. This area shall only be filled with a preapproved material. The Engineer and/or the Soil Scientist have the right to suspend work until soil moisture conditions are favorable to optimal installation. The installer shall be knowledgeable of the type of system to be installed and shall have prior instruction on the installation of the various components of the system and shall have the prior approval of the component manufacturers, (Orenco)and (Geoflow), and the approval of the Design Engineer. Geoflow & Orenco Field Representative(s) and designer shall provide written acceptance of the system installation prior to issuance of operation permit. Scope of the Project:The scope of this project is to construct a system to collect the domestic waste from the proposed three-bedroom residence and convey it via gravity to a properly sized two-compartment septic tank. The outlet at the second compartment of the tank will have a slotted wastewater effluent filter.From the septic tank the effluent flows to a three-compartment module that contains the treatment unit,recirculation chamber, which will dose a textile-media pretreatment filter, which provides an aerobic environment for bacteria. A timer-controlled turbine pump will dose treated effluent to the drip field from the enclosed field dosing chamber within the treatment module. The drip dosing system will have solenoid valves, spin clean filter,flow meter, air release valves and other apparatus and controls to allow the automatic dosing and maintenance of the system. The pump controls will have a 24-hour clock, programmable as determined by the operator. Controls shall also have elapsed run time clock and cycle counter for each pump. Unless alternately provided with the advanced Pretreatment System, the drip system control panel shall enable the daily, 7-day and 30-day 1357 Karriker Lane Septic System Page 1 March 30,2022 Catawba County,NC monitoring requirements of Rule .1970 to be met, such as by data logging the field dosing times or field flow meter readings.The controls shall also have manual operating capabilities and alarms.The controls are to be located at a readily accessible location at the residence. DIRECTIONS TO THE PROPERTY: Take Highway 16 in Denver to Buffalo Shoals Road. Turn right on Sherrills Ford Road. Stay on Long Island Road. Turn right on Karriker Lane. Lot is located on right side of road before Eric Crane Drive.

Site shall be cleared of large diameter and small diameter trees at the hub and other vegetation and debris by system installer only. If a tree is unable to be removed, the contractor shall raise the canopy on tree to a minimum of 8 feet above the existing ground surface so that sunlight can reach the ground surface. If shown on the plan, areas shall be filled with an approved material approved by the consulting Soil Scientist and/or the Consulting Engineer. Drip irrigation lines shall be installed on contour. Drip irrigation lines shall be installed in the ground after the ground surface has been scarified and raked smooth as directed herein.The tubing shall be installed at a minimum depth of 6 inches with care to be certain that tubing is not kinked or deformed. After installation, the area shall be raked smooth to drain and to prepare for stabilization. Drip tubing that cannot go through an obstacle such as a root shall be routed around or below the obstacle and not over and exposed on the ground surface. No work shall be performed on the drip field under wet conditions."If it is too wet to plow,"it is too wet to work on drip field.The Contractor shall avoid the smearing of the wetted surface and should this occur,work shall be suspended. After installation of the lines, the ground surface shall be shaped to allow good surface drainage to prevent ponding of surface water. All disturbed areas shall be raked smooth and stabilized according to specifications. Drip Irrigation Tubing Storage and Handling The drip irrigation tubing should be kept in the shade due to temperature sensitivity of the tubing and away from exposure to direct sunlight except during the actual installation process. Construction Sequence Rule of Thumb: "If soil is too wet to plow," it is too wet to install the system. 1. Lay out drip irrigation field network area with stakes and flagging to ten feet (minimum) beyond the limits of the line. As soon as the absorption area is designated, it should be flagged, roped off and isolated from construction traffic.This barrier should be maintained until the Owner accepts the system. Refer to site plan for the size of absorption area and field locations.Observe all side yard,building,and other setback restrictions. 2. Clear site of all man-made debris, construction materials, etc. Dispose of legally. Cut all trees in the nitrification field flush with the ground. Do not remove any stumps with any earth moving equipment. Stumps shall be ground up with minimal distribution to surrounding soil. Fill areas shown on the plan with an approved soil material approved by the Consulting Soil Scientist and/or the Consulting Engineer. 3. Prior to beginning construction of the system,verify invert elevations of all tanks, carefully locate, lay out and identify disposal site,manifolds and the drip piping network,using a tripod mounted engineer's leveling instrument to accurately establish each lateral along a level contour. (A 2'minimum drip line separation must be maintained centerline to centerline.) 4. Install drip lines,piping,valves,and headworks. Ensure good bedding and cover and uniform slope as specified.All valve boxes shall be flush or slightly above the ground and clear of debris. Install washed stone in bottom to cover exposed soil. 5. Install septic tank and filter module at elevations to allow proper operation. The recirculation and dosing chamber will each contain a pump and a pump enabling float switch, a pump disabling float switch and a high-water alarm float switch.The drip-dosing chamber will be set at elevation to receive gravity from the filter. All components shall be checked, and proper flow verified. 6. Perform leak test on tanks as called for herein. Provide riser access as called for. 7. Carefully backfill tank, module, and trenches to finish grade with clean debris free earth (no stone). 8. Install pumps,filters, fittings, and floats. 9. Install control system and wire per NC Building Code and NEC. Contractor shall verify available electrical power before ordering components. Provide and connect to properly sized and number of breakers in the main panel board. 1357 Karriker Lane Septic System Page 9 March 30, 2022 Catawba County, NC 10. Seed all disturbed areas except for the drip field. Drip field shall be stabilized only until leaf litter covers area. Follow seeding specifications. Final Landscaping: After the system is installed,the following should be checked to ensure that the system will not be overloaded with excess rainwater and run-off. (a) The drip field is shared to shed rainwater and is free of low area. (b) Curtain drains, grassy swales, or ditches for diverting ground and surface water are installed properly. (c) Gutter and downspout drains are directed away from the system. Any problems should be corrected before approving the system. Finally,drip field shall be stabilized,and all other disturbed areas shall be planted with grass according to specifications. Seeding: After completion of the drip fields,the site shall be stabilized with tall fescue grass.This should be seeded at the rate of 25 lbs. per acre each for a total of 50 lbs. per acre. Before seeding, lime should be added at the rate of 1.5 tons per acre. Fertilizer should be added at the rate of 100 units of Nitrogen, 120 lbs. of P205 and 120 lbs. of K20. Both the lime and fertilizer should be lightly incorporated into the soil before adding seed. After seeding, the area should be mulched until stand is established. Due to the erosion potential of this soil, this is an important part of the system. SECTION VI -OPERATING CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS (START-UP) The system shall consist of one 1,000-gallon septic tank with slotted filter,Orenco Advantex AX-2ORT textile containing module with cover with recirculation pump,dosing chamber,and drip field with pump, headworks, controls, and other apparatus. All components of the system shall be checked and taken through a complete test cycle in the presence of the Owner's Engineer and to his satisfaction. If the test fails, adjustments shall be made, and the test repeated until the system is determined to operate properly. Septic Tank: Check water level, inlet pipe,outlet pipe and slotted filter.Verify that the filter can be removed for service and handle is within 12"from top of riser. Textile Filter: Using manufacturer's instruction, become familiar with filter components and operation. Drip System Dosing Tank Pump Chamber-Sequence of Operation: Effluent fills chamber in AX-2ORT to level that will activate the"Pump Enabling"float. Pump can now operate.The control panel will be set to allow the prescribed pump cycles per day based on customer setting of the programmable timer.When a pump is called for service, and the level in the dosing tank permits,the zone valve (if provided)and filter flush valve will open. After an adjustable time, the filter flush valve will close, and the system will continue to dose the active drip zone for the operator selectable time. If the timer override float is activated, the pump will be allowed to dose for 7.55 minutes and disable for one hour.Then the pump will activate again until the water level in thank reaches normal again. Dosing Cycle: If the system is equipped with multiple zones,all zones are dosed individually on an alternating basis so that each field is dosed once every other dosing cycle.The appropriate zone valve opens,the pump doses the field for 7.55 minutes and then the zone valve closes, and the pump stops. After an operator defined number of cycles (field adjustable prime numbers), the field flush valve and one zone valve will open for one cycle.At the end of the dose,the pump stops and the field flush and zone valves close. Since the flush cycle is to be set at an odd interval (prime number), the next flush cycle will fall on the opposite zone. The pump shall operate delivering a timer controlled predetermined dose to the designated drip field. The pump shall also shut off when the low water level "pump off"switch is activated. If the "high water alarm" float switch is activated, the controller shall activate audible and flashing alarm systems. Once energized, the flashing and audible alarm unit must be shut-off manually. After installation, each field shall be independently pressurized, and the function and operating pressure checked to verify compliance with the specifications and required wetted area shown on the Plans. System pressure is to be obtained at the Schrader Valves located at the ends of the manifolds as shown on the plans. The pressure and flow reading shall be recorded for comparison with future readings.The owner/operator cannot tell if the system is operating properly unless he has this info. 1357 Karriker Lane Septic System Page I U March 30,2022 Catawba County,NC SEEDING SPECIFICATIONS SLOPES 3:1 or FLATTER 1.Apply agricultural lime at the rate of 90 LB/1000 SF. 2.Apply 10-10-10 commercial fertilizers at the rate of 20 LB/1000 SF. 3.Seed in accordance with the following schedule and application rate: DATE TYPE PLANTING RATE Aug 15 -Nov 1 Tall Fescue 200 LB/AC or 7 LB/1000 SF Nov 1 -Mar 1* Tall Fescue And 200 LB/AC or 7 LB/1000 SF Abruzzi Rye 25 LB/AC or 2 LB/1000 SF Mar 1 -Apr 15 Tall Fescue 200 LB/AC or 7 LB/1000 SF Apr 15-Jul 30 Hulled Common or Bermuda 30 LB/AC or 1 LB/1000 SF Jul 15-Aug 15 Tall Fescue And 200 LB/AC or 7 LB/1000 SF Brown Millet Or 35 LB/AC or 3 LB/1000 SF Sorghum-Sudan Hybrids 30 LB/AC or 3 LB/1000 SF 4.Mulch with straw applied at the rate of 75-100 LB/1000 SF. * Heavily mulched during January- March period.

Data was recorded on September 25, 2021, utilizing a soil auger. Elevation data recorded at these locations shows elevations ranging no more than 124 inches between sample points. Soil Sampling Methodology In order to measure site elevations, a Trimble R10-2 external GNSS receiver was used to measure elevations at each soil boring location. Fixed real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning was obtained in order to maximize data accuracy. Elevation error was measured to not exceed 1 inch, based on data provided from the GNSS receiver. Orthometric elevation data was recorded at each data point and recorded on the subsequent data sheet. Elevation ranges between the soil borings were obtained by computing the difference between elevation points. In total, 3 data points were recorded for the purposes of finalizing the footprint of the proposed drainfield and associated repair area. Applicable Regulations Recorded soil documentation, included suitability considerations, were observed based on criteria found in the North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 18A, Section 1900, titled "Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems." Soil conditions such as soil texture, soil structure, soil consistency, soil mineralogy, soil color, soil wetness, observed soil depth, saprolite class, restrictive horizon presence, and subsequent loading rates were identified in accordance with this Section. Due to certain limitations with the observed soil profile described below in the additional sections of this report, it is recommended to explore septic permitting through the use of the Engineered Option Permit (EDP), outlined in North Carolina General Statue 130A-336.1. Design Criteria and Recommendations Soil wetness conditions were observed at a depth of>21 inches. In addition, a restrictive horizon was observed at a depth of 20 inches These parameters should be considered in the engineered design of the system with applicable vertical offsets based on system type. Any fill material necessary in the design of the drainfield should consist of Group 1 soil material (USDA texture of sand or loamy sand), with the fill cap and/or buffer area consisting of Class 2, or 3 (up to sandy clay loam in fineness) material, as outlined in the engineer's final design. It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that the applicable soil media used. If there are any questions regarding the texture classification of the fill material, inspection of the material may be required'. Horizons with more than trace amounts of organic carbon content existed to maximum depths of 8 inches. The aforementioned soil horizons with more than trace amounts of soil organic carbon do not need to be removed. However, the root mat should be removed prior to adding fill material if required. A long-term acceptance rate (LTAR) of 0.2 gallons per day (GPD)/square foot (SF) will be utilized for the loading rate2. At the completion of the construction of the drain field/disposal area, the fill material over this area will be immediately seeded and protected with straw or 2 Pressley- 1357 Karriker Ln mulch or sodded to establish a permanent vegetative cover. Any concerns regarding surface water flow and/or improvement of subsurface drainage conditions should be taken into account in the engineer's final design plans. The final grading plan will be designed to remove surface water from the drain field/disposal area. Soil Classification & Site Suitability The soils in this area formed from metamorphic rock typical of the Piedmont and in relation to the site's geomorphic position on the landscape. Thus, the soil conditions reflect drainage characteristics typical of soils of the mapped series below. This soil classification was based on the observed soil morphology in the excavated soil profile. Descriptions to further depths are not necessary to make interpretations for onsite wastewater disposal systems. The soil observations provided in this report and the below classification are derived by soil conditions in the observed sampled locations/area only. It should be noted that the below classification does not take into account any inclusions that might exist with the sampled area. Based on the recorded soil data, related soil classification below, and applicable suitability parameters listed in Section .1900, it is recommended that this site be considered Unsuitable (U) due to soil conditions; Provisionally Suitable (PS) due to site modifications and/or recommended system type for the placement of the engineered designed septic system. Similar to soils of the Saw series: Fine, Kaolinitic, Thermic Typic Kanhapludults 3 Pressley - 1357 Karriker Ln Other Considerations Adherence to Report: The depth to the soil wetness conditions, restrictive horizon(s),trench bottom separation, LTAR, and the land preparation prescriptions outlined in • A� ' this report are site condition minimums that must be adhered to in the design and installation of an onsite wastewater disposal system. Any yam,; expenses incurred due to deviations from the soil prescriptions outlined in this report that result in system malfunctions or repairs will be the liability of - -- _ �. the responsible party completing the onsite work. Notification Regarding Wetlands: It is the responsibility of the landowner and/or equipment operators to avoid regulated impacts to waters of the United States(WOTUS),including • wetlands.Should any part of the proposed onsite wastewater system be located in WOTUS, including wetlands, approval from the appropriate State and/or Federal agency[i.e., US Army Corps of Engineers, NC Div.of Coastal Management,etc.] must accompany the application for an engineered onsite wastewater system. It is recommended that the • landowner and/or equipment operators contact the applicable State and/or Federal agencies prior to initiating site work in order to avoid regulated impacts to WOTUS, including wetlands. Footnotes: ' ,'' 1 All material must be inspected and approved by Tyler Sgro prior to placement of material and system installation, if required. 1 ( /•ici?

The long-term acceptance rate is based on the most hydraulically limiting naturally occurring soil texture from the ground surface to 12 inches below the bottom of the proposed absorption trenches/disposal tubing. Estimates on the acceptance rates are based on soil texture and other applicable soil morphology. 4 7.

Cx S• -.r a FCAST-A-SEAL® 4021402E CAST-INCONNECOTORYPE IMPfor 1-1/4" to 6"PVC Pipe What It Is CAST-A-SEAL 4021402F is a watertight flexible connector that is cast into the structure when the concrete is poured. The connector is folded into the casting position and placed on the reusable heavy-duty solid plastic mandrel that is installed r ` directly to the form. After the concrete is cured, - the form is opened, removing the mandrel from the gasket, but leaving the CAST-A-SEAL 4021402F connector embedded in the concrete. The gasket is then simply unfolded at the jobsite and is tightened around the pipe using the sup- plied stainless steel take-up clamp.

Be sure to dress properly when inspecting and cleaning the fitter.Wear full-length pants and shirt,shoes,gloves,and goggles or glasses. Step r Remove the access lid to your septic tank by unscrewing the stainless steel lid bolts with the hex head wrench provided.If your lid is above ground,it will be easy to find. If it is buried below ground,find the marker that indicates its location. Step 2 Remove the filter cartridge by grasping the tee handle and lifting it out of its housing. Step 3 ' Spray the cartridge tubes with a hose to remove any material sticking to them. Ensure that the three orifices in the optional flow modulation plate inside the filter are clear of any debris, Make sure the rinse water runs back into the tank, but do not allow solids material to fall into the open filter housing. Step 4 .1111111111111 Firmly place the cartridge back into the housing. Step 5 Some effluent filters come with an alarm that activates when the filter needs cleaning.If you have an alarm,check to make sure it is working by lifting the float with a stick.An audible horn should sound.The alarm panel is normally mounted on the side of the house or in the garage. Note: If your effluent filter doesn't have an alarm system and you would like one, call your local septic system installer. Step 6 Record the date that you inspected and/or cleaned your filter on the form that follows this page.If you checked the alarm or made any other observations about the tank or system,include that information under"Notes." Step 7 Attach the access lid by placing it on the riser,matching the holes in the lid with the holes in the riser.Insert each lid bolt through the lid and the hole in the riser and tighten with hex head wrench provided.Before leaving,pull up firmly on the lid to make sure it is secure.

Septic Tanks Used in AX-RT Treatment Systems Be sure that any septic tank used in an AX-RI Ireatment System meets the following conditions: • The tank must conform to an approved and authorized tank design for AdvanTex Systems, and it must meet all applicable regula- tory requirements (no pour-in-place tanks, no homemade tanks, etc.). Call your local Dealer for specifics. •The tank must be structurally sound. •The tank must have at least 1000 gal. (3800 L) capacity for an AX20-RT, 1250 gal. (4730 L) for a 5-bedroom AX25-RT, and 1500 gal. (5680 L) for a 6-bedroom AX25-RT at the normal operating level (below the invert of the outlet). • The tank must have an at-grade access with a watertight, securable and removable lid. If it doesn't,an at-grade access must be installed onto the septic tank and be made watertight. • The tank must be watertight and free of leaks. •An Orenco effluent filter(model FTSO444-36V, FTW0444-36V,or FT0822-14B) must be installed in the septic tank. AKey Point:For existing septic tanks —the tank's depth of burial must allow for a minimum fall of 1i8 inch per foot (10 mm per meter or 1%) from the septic tank's invert of outlet to the AX-RT unit's invert of the inlet. If sufficient fall cannot be met, a grade ring extension must be installed on the AX-RT or a pumping system will need to be installed in the septic tank to move the filtered effluent to the AX-RT unit.

In the septic tank,the raw sewage separates into a scum layer,a sludge layer, and a clear zone. Effluent from the clear zone passes through a Biotubeh Effluent Filter and is discharged to the recirc/blend chamber of the AX-RT unit.The effluent flows through the recirc transfer line to the recirc pumping system, which pumps filtered effluent to the distribution manifold in the top of the unit. Effluent percolates down through the textile media and is divided—by means of a tank baffle —between the recirc/blend chamber and the recirc/filtrate chamber inside of the unit. The recirc pumping system's operation is controlled by a timer in the control panel. It allows the pump to dose the textile media for short periods(usually 40-60 seconds),typically 72 times a day.These frequent"micro-doses,"which optimize the treatment process, occur throughout the day to maintain the proper biological environment.

If there is no site plan,draw up a plan including locations and distances. Step 2: Perform the excavations for the AX-RT unit and (if needed)the septic tank. Step 3: If the septic tank has not been set, set it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Step 4: Set the AX-RT unit. Step 5: Install antibuoyancy deadmen on the AX-Rt unit(if needed). Step 6: Partially hackfill the AX-RT unit and (if needed) the septic tank. Step 7: If the tank adapters and risers have not been installed on the septic tank,install them according to the manufacturer's instructions. Step 8: If no watertightness test has been performed on the tank and the tank-to-riser connections, perform a watertightness test. AKey Point: f he tank and tank-to-riser connections must pass this test before the AX-RT is connected to the tank. Step 9: Perform a watertightness test of the AX-RT unit's midseam. Step 10: If the effluent filter has not been installed in the septic tank, install it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Step 11: Connect the transport line from the septic tank outlet to the AX-RT unit. Step 12: Connect the passive air vent to the AX-RT unit. Step 13: Connect the discharge line to the AX-RT outlet. Step 14: Install and test the control panel and wiring for the AX-RT unit. Step 15: Perform an operational test of the AX-RT float switches and pump(s).

Ammonia is oxidized by autotrophic bacteria,which do not have as ,L Re, F aggressive a growth rate,so if oxygen is not abundant,nitrification suffers. Consequently,the nitrification process usually lags until the organic concentration is depleted or until sufficient oxygen is present.At a 2.5:1 B0D5/TKN ratio,the nitrifiers may only make up about 10 percent of the microbial population.At 0.5:1 B0D5/TKN,the nitrifiers make up about 35 Tests for Ammonia and Nitrate Nitrogen—If the system is oxidizing percent of the population. ammonia to nitrate(nitrifying),lab tests should measure relatively low ammonia levels and relatively high nitrate levels in the filtrate.Because In a filtering process,the fitter column must be deep enough,or the filter nitrification responds to many and varying conditions within the aerobic media must be efficient enough at filtering organic particles,to deplete treatment processes,ammonia and nitrate nitrogen levels in the filtrate organic concentrations to a level in which a sufficient population of are the most ideal constituents to watch for any changes in performance. nitrifiers will be sustained.The physical(dimensional)features of the filter Start-up times can be plotted,optimum recirc ratios can be gauged, will vary depending on the media's characteristics—void ratio,moisture cleaning frequencies can be predicted,and nonvisible clogging or holding capacity,and effective surface area per unit volume ratio.Tankage, saturation can be detected by watching either of these constituents. surge capacity,application rates,and loading characteristics are other design considerations that play a role in the sizing of the filter unit, Typical nitrification in single-family residential systems is expected to be in the 98-99%range.Investigate if the process appears to degrade by 5 percentage points or more.

Typical influent characteristics are shown on page B.When B0D5 is high. there is a greater organic demand for oxygen,which may hamper the nitrogenous demand for oxygen.Increasing the recirc ratio should help establish oxygen balance.

Another difference is that the AX-RT has no Recirculating Splitter Valve(RSV).Effluent percolates down through the textile media and is split—by means of a tank baffle—between the recirc/blend chamber and the recirc/filtrate chambers of the AX-RT recirculating treatment tank. Raw sewage enters the septic tank through its inlet tee.In the septic tank,the raw sewage separates into three distinct zones—a scum layer,a sludge layer,and a clear zone.Effluent from the clear layer passes through a Biotube®effluent fitter and is discharged by gravity to the recirc/blend chamber of the AX-RT unit.The effluent then flows through the recirc transfer line to the recirc pumping system.The recirc pumping system pumps effluent from the recirc/blend chamber through the manifold to the spray nozzles in the top of the unit.Effluent percolates down through the textile media and is divided—by means of a tank baffle—between the recirc/blend chamber and the recirc/filtrate chamber inside of the unit.

Treated effluent can be discharged to the drainfield by means of a discharge pump system or by gravity discharge.The"High Level Alarm"and "ON"floats for the discharge pump are set at the factory and are non-adjustable.Dose volume for the discharge pump system is determined by adjustments to the"OFF"float.AX-RT units with gravity discharge simply discharge when the level of treated effluent in the recirc/filtrate chamber is at the level of the discharge outlet.For units equipped with UV disinfection,the effluent passes through the UV treatment unit before being pumped or flowing by gravity to final dispersal.

Page 3 of 6 PF Series High-Head Effluent Pumps (continued) Using a Pump Curve A pump curve helps you determine the best pump for your system.Pump curves show the relationship between flow(gpm or LJsec}and pressure(total dynamic head,or TDH),providing a graphical representation of a pump's optimal performance range. Pumps perform best at their nominal flow rate—the value,measured in gpm(or Usec),expressed by the first two numerals in an Orenco pump nomenclature.At low flow rates,TDH varies from pump to pump,so it is represented as a dashed line in the pump curves. For most accurate pump specification, use Orenco's PumpSelect'software. 60 Hz Models um . ` l r i 3a ■��minom ■��mi �■rwr r•�r r•�r.■ •' ilitI ■■■■■■■■ PF20 Series,60 Hz •a PF10 Series, 60 Hz ■■i�_�■���■■■■ C '� 1/2 hp to 2 hp — 3rs o �r.'� ii�■i■.. 1/2 hp to 1-1/2 hp 11111111111111111.1 1 1111111! m=I PHIMM - - ' immlimmi ossemonoll ••••••••••• Uld .. mm�._-'"■1M■■■■■■.•■■■■■■■■■■■ 1pF2o1oJ.u.. : .u.:: II::.:::I 500 151111:11:1::':I:::C:11111: P 1111111111111111111:11101111: T 400 i PF1010 1 m .11......11111111111........118,■■■■■■■■■■■■ ■■ Mblk`111: tr . 150gi&Z"m..-01■.■ ■■ ■ \ \■■■ rti ` ra E i PFF2005 ILuuI11111MM:911■■u■■■■ ■►'M■ a 3e — - m� ■r■■■■■■■■■■�7,11■■ ■■ O■\ -FaPF1007 -100 a.■0■■..■■■■■■.■■■.•■�..aN..►a 11 - t ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■:tee■■■■.■►, o PF1006 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII1011114166,2'TDH 2oM ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■►.9 '° ■■■■1■■■...■. .11.11111111111■ NoPF1t005-FC u■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■I■■■■■■■■■■■■■ w/1/1'flow A3 ■■■■■■■■■■ ■■ ■■■ ■■■■■■■■■■ controller r` 0 ■■■■■■■ ■■■■■■■■■■ '" 0 5 10 is 20 a a, I I 5 4 8 12 18 Gallons per minute(GPM) Gallons per minute(GPM) wo alfftN """1■■■■■■■■■I 1111111 PF30 Series.60 Hz a ® 111111 1/2 hp to 5 hp 1 ■--...M.■■■■.■■.■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■.■.. ■PF5050 3■■■■■■■■■ ■■ 6:�11111 750 PF3050 , �n,■■u••uu••••u PF50 Series,60 Hz ;; I IIIIII���I�I���I��I11I�Isl�1iil1i1i m "� ...::........... 1/2 h to 5 h ■mil . ■■■■■..■■■■■■■■■ P P mi.1111111111111111\.I111111111111111111 °' 350 ■■■■■■M-m■■■■■■■MEMMEMMEm:ISMEMEM ■■ ES Si 4t us 111 1111 111111111011111111111111111 •- iiiiiiiiiii■MliiiiiiiiiNIOMPN iiiiii t III1111111II1111IIIL:1111111111111111111 i ■■■■■■■■■■■ ■ ■ ` ■■■■■■■■■ ■■■■■■■■ mmmmmmmmmmummmmmm 11111111111111 1111110111111111111 1111 t600 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■•='u■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ MMMIIIYIIIIIIIIII1111��1IIIl1lII1 IIIC a .

It is designed using the grid concept with supply and flush manifolds at each end of the dripline creating a closed loop system. The grid design provides a complete subsurface wetted area. The objective with effluent dispersal is usually to disperse the effluent using the minimum area as quickly and safely as possible at an approximately uniform rate throughout the year. If the main purpose of the Geoflow system is to irrigate, then please use the standard irrigation manual for landscape available from Geoflow,Inc. Subsurface drip is a highly efficient method to dispose of effluent. Small, precise amounts of water are uniformly applied under the soil surface from multiple points. The main advantages of Geoflow's subsurface drip system for effluent dispersal arc: o Human and animal contact with effluent is minimized, reducing health risks. o Correctly designed systems will not cause puddling or runoff. o It can be used under difficult circumstances of high water tables, tight soils, rocky terrain, steep slopes, around existing buildings, trees or other vegetation,and on windy sites. o Disposal of water is maximized by means of evapotranspiration. o The system requires no gravel. It is easy to install directly into indigenous soils and the natural landscape can be maintained. o Minimizes deep percolation. o Consumption of nitrates by the plant material is increased. o Invisible and vandal proof installations. o Ten-year warranty for root intrusion,workmanship and materials. Systems are durable with a long expected life of approximately 30 years. o Non intrusive. It allows use of the space while operating. o Easily automated. o Effluent can be re-used for irrigation. NOTES • These guidelines are geared towards single family homes with secondary treated effluent. When using primary treated effluent,Geoflow recommends automating all the self flushing valves, and increasing the number of emission points in the dispersal field. For more information on septic tank dispersal, please check our website at www.geoflow.com or telephone Geoflow at 800-828-3388. • Systems with periodic use need special attention not covered in this guideline. • Please follow your State and County Regulations for onsite wastewater dispersal. These guidelines are intended to be a guide to users of the Geoflow drip system and should be used only as a supplement to your local regulations. • Occasionally, in forested area, the dripline is placed on the surface and covered with mulch. 1 WASTEFLOW®is a registered trademark of A.I.Innovations.

The driplin onnected to the supply and return manifolds with Compression or Lockslip fittings.Typical spacing between each dripline and between drip emitters is 24" on center. Twelve-inch spacing is used regularly for soils with very low or high permeability. Dripline is usually buried 6"-10" below ground. Standard coil length is 500-ft. Rolls of alternative lengths, diameters and dripper spacing's may be special ordered. WASTEFLOW dripline features: a)nano-ROOTGUARD®2 Wasteflow dripline has nano-ROOTGUARD®. The risk of root intrusion with an emitter slowly releasing nutrient rich effluent directly into the soil is well known to anyone who has observed a leaking sewer pipe. All Geoflow drip emitters are guaranteed to be protected against root intrusion with nano-ROOTGUARD. This patented process fuses the root-growth inhibitor, TREFLAN®3 into each drip emitter during manufacturing. Treflan is registered with the United States EPA for this application. The nano-ROOTGUARD technology holds Treflan for extended time inside the plastic, slowly releasing it in minute quantities to prevent root cells from dividing and growing into the barrier zone. It is chemically degradable,non-systemic,and virtually insoluble in water (0.3 ppm). With an expected life of 30 years,nano-ROOTGUARD carries a 15- year warranty against root intrusion. b) GeoshieldTMd protection Geoflow's WASTEFLOW has an inner lining impregnated with an antimicrobial,Tributyl tin maleate, to inhibit adhesion of biological growth on the inside walls of the tube and on the emitters. It does not have any measurable biological effect on the effluent passing through the tube. This minimizes the velocity required to flush WASTEFLOW dripline. The velocity only needs to move out the fine particles that pass through the 130 micron filter that, if not flushed, will ultimately accumulate at the distal end of each lateral. It is not necessary to scour growth off the inside wall of WASTEFLOW tubing. Since all pumps deliver more volume given less resistance to flow, just opening the flush valve will usually achieve this degree of flushing. When a minimum flushing velocity is requested by regulators, 0.5 feet per second is used with Wasteflow dripline to get the settled particles at the bottom of the pipe back into suspension. This equates to 0.375 gpm per dripline when using standard WASTEFLOW dripline (0.55"ID) c)Turbulent Flow Path WASTEFLOW drip emitters are pre-inserted in the tube usually spaced 6", 12", 18",or 24" apart with 24"being the most popular. Angles in the emitter flow path are designed to cause turbulence in order to equalize flow between emitters and keep the emitters clean. Geoflow emitters boast large flow paths,which, coupled with turbulent flow,have proven over the years to be extremely reliable and dependable. 2 NANOROOTGUARD is a registered trademark of A.I.Innovations 3 Treflan is a registered trademark of Dow Agro Sciences Geoshield is a registered trademark of A.I.Innovations GEOFLOW Inc. 800-828-33881415-927-6000 www.geoflow.com d) WASTEFLOW Classic and WASTEFLOW PC Dripline Both WASTEFLOW Classic and WASTEFLOW PC have turbulent flow path emitters with nano-ROOTGUARD and Geoshield protection. The WASTEFLOW PC has the added element of a silicone rubber diaphragm that moves up and down over the emitter outlet to equalize flows regardless of pressure between 7 and 60 psi. To ensure a long life the recommended operating range is 10 to 45 psi. For WASTEFLOW Classic, the flow rate delivered by the emitter is a function of the pressure at the emitter. The Classic dripline has the advantage of no moving parts or rubber that may degrade over time.Also,when minimum flushing velocities are required, the flows during a dosing cycle and flushing cycle are very similar with the Wasteflow Classic because when the flush valve is opened;the pressure is reduced,causing the flows from the emitters to decline. PC dripline requires significantly higher flow for flushing than dosing as the emitter flow does not go down during the flushing cycle. We generally recommend using WASTEFLOW Classic, unless the economic advantages to using PC is substantial. i) WASTEFLOW PC can run longer distances than WASTEFLOW Classic. ii) Steep slopes. Systems should be designed for the dripline lateral to follow the contour. When this is practical, the extra cost of installing pressure regulators required for WASTEFLOW Classic would likely be less than the incremental cost of WASTEFLOW PC. iii)Rolling terrain. If the difference in height from trough to peak exceeds six feet then WASTEFLOW PC should be used. Vacuum relief valves must be placed at the top of each rise. 2. CONTROLLERS Controllers are used for time dosing and time flushing of the filter and dripfields. GEO controllers include a programmable logic controller to increase flexibility and reliability in the field. They can be used on systems ranging in size from one to eight zones at the time this manual was printed. All controllers include a surge arrestor,elapsed time meter and counter. The choice as to which controller best supports your personal preference, capability and price. 3. PUMPS,PUMP TANKS&FLOATS WASTEFLOW dripfields depend on pumps to dose effluent under pressure to the field. These must be sized according to flow and pressure requirements. Look for submersible effluent pumps from a dependable source. Geoflow does not endorse a single manufacturer, but does advocate you use a pump that is readily serviced in your area. Two (duplex) pumps may be used. These will normally alternate at each signal from the control panel and are often used on commercial or large drip systems. Pump tanks are an important part of an onsite system design and serve to equalize flow, settle solids and even continue oxidation in some instances. All treatment systems will have occasional upsets, and an adequately sized pump tank will help increase the time between filter cleaning. Pump tanks should be sized according to your local rules and regulations. We recommend pump tanks for single family homes be at least 1.5 times daily flow. Remember a 500 gallon pump tank may not actually hold 500 gallons because of the loss of useable areal below the pump intake and above the high water cutoff level. Geoflow controllers are set-up for 4 floats with the lowest one in the tank being the redundant off float. The primary timer on/offfloat is second from the bottom, followed by the seeondary timerfloat third from the bottom and the high level alarrnfloat on the top. 6 GEOFLOW Inc. 800-828-3388/415-927-6000 www.geoflow.com 4. FILTERS Geoflow systems require 120 mesh or 130 micron filtration to keep any oversized upstream contaminants from entering the dripline. Geoflow offers a full range of drip filters,with the tried and true Vortex screen filters for small commercial and residential systems; disc filters with anti bacterial protection, and GeoVac suction cleaning filters for larger commercial and industrial systems. We recommend minimum filter size of I.5inch. 5. SUPPLY MANIFOLD AND LINE This carries the water from the dosing tank to the dispersal area. Rigid PVC schedule 40 is usually used. Schedule 80 is at times used to either avoid dips in the line that can collect water and freeze,or if pressure of at least 200 psi is required to pump water from the dose tank to the dripfield. To prevent water from freezing, the pipes should slope back to the pump tank, be buried below frost depth and/or be insulated. Refer to the PVC pipe sizing chart in the appendix to determine the best diameter for your application. 6. RETURN MANIFOLD AND LINE In order to help clean the system, the ends of the drip lines are connected together into a common return line,most often made of rigid PVC. This line will help equalize pressures in the system. Flushing should be done frequently during the installation period. Periodic flushing during operation will help to keep the manifolds clean. Best option is to return flush water to the inlet of the treatment stream. If this is not possible,a two compartment pump tank with diffuser is recommended with pump in separate chamber. To prevent water from freezing, the pipes should slope back to the pump tank,be buried below frost depth and/or be insulated. 7. PRESSURE REGULATOR Pressure regulators fix the inlet pressure at a given rate. Under normal operating conditions,pressure in the drip lines should be 10 psi to 45 psi. With WASTEFLOW Classic it helps to know exactly what the pressure is in the dripline,so system flow can be easily calculated. With all dripline it is prudent to have a pressure regulator to avoid oversized pumps from blowing out fittings. 8. AIR VACUUM BREAKER Air vacuum breakers are installed at the high points, above dripline and below grade to keep soil from being sucked into the emitters due to back siphoning or backpressure. This is an absolute necessity with underground drip systems. They are also used for proper draining of the supply and return manifolds in sloping conditions. One is used on the high end of the supply manifold and one on the high point of the return manifold. Additional air vents may be required in undulating terrain. Freezing conditions require the air vacuum breaker be protected with insulation. 9. FILTER FLUSH VALVES Used to flush debris from the filter cleanout port back to the pretreatment or dosing tank, this can be an electronically activated solenoid valve or a manual valve. If manual,it should be opened for a full flushing at least every six months and left cracked open slightly to flush continuously. Certain States may require automated electronic flushing. Please refer to your State codes. GEOFLOW Inc. 800.828-3388/415-927-6000 www.geoflow.com 7 10. FIELD FLUSH VALVES. Used to flush out fine particles that have passed through the filter and accumulated on the bottom of the tube at the end of each lateral, the field flush valve can be manual (continuous)or electronic (automatic). Geoflow recommends automatic flush. Continuous flush requires the valve be left cracked open slightly during operation and must be carefully designed and operated to work without increasing the risk of treatment plant upsets (if placed upstream of treatment) or reducing the effectiveness of the pump tank (if placed in drip pump tank). Certain States do require automated electronic flushing. Please refer to your State codes. 11. ZONE VALVES Used to divide single dispersal fields into multiple zones, these can be hydraulically activated index valves or electrical solenoid valves. Index valves are hydraulically operated, while solenoids use electricity. 12. WASTEFLOW HEADWORKS WASTEFLOW Headworks is a pre-assembled unit including the filter,valves and pressure gauge in a box or on a skid. It is installed between the pump and the field. Be sure to insulate the box in freezing climates. DESIGN PARAMETERS: 1. SELECT AREA Select the area with careful consideration of the soil, the terrain and your State and County regulations. Be sure the field is not in a flood plain or bottom of a slope where excessive water may collect after rain. Surface water should be directed away from the proposed field area. Consider: o Setbacks from water bodies, driveways,neighbors,wells.... o Restrictive limiting layers? Rock/Clay Shallow ground water? Seasonal high water? o Is dripfield located at lowest point in the area? Check surrounding hills and valleys o Is there any surface water coming in form neighbors? o Is there any construction debris at the site? 2. WATER QUALITY The source of sewage should be assessed for flow and constituents. Maximum daily flows should be used for design flow rates and should include peak/safety factors. Pre-treatment facilities may be designed with flow equalization for situations with inconsistent flow characteristics. Sewage with BUD, TSS or Oils and Grease levels in excess of normal residential sewage must be pre-treated to reduce effluent values for these constituents to residential levels prior to dispersal or custom design of loading rates will be necessary. Sources with very high levels of minerals or other abnormal chemical or physical characteristics require special consideration and custom design. If iron or iron bacteria are prevalent,please be sure to eliminate it upstream of the drip system with ozone, ultraviolet or chemical treatment. 3. SOIL APPLICATION DESIGN 8 GEOFLOW Inc. 800-828-3388/415-927-6000 www.geoflow.com Soil loading rates, as expressed in gallons per day per square ft., should take both percolation tests and soil and site evaluations into consideration. Soils classification date provided by USDA-NRCS can be used as a guideline, but these do not consider site specific variables. Soil loading charts are often provided by State and local health departments. We encourage you to be most conservative in estimating the soil loading rates. Non residential systems with multiple zones need to be more conservative due to the edge effect and larger actual daily flows being used in design rather than inflated flows that are most frequently used in single family home designs. Note:This section is based on Subsurface Trickle Irrigation System for On-Site Wastewater Disposal And Reuse by B. L. Cathie and A. Sanjines.The basis of the information is from the Texas Health Department regulations.The rules in your County and State may vary. The instantaneous water application rate of the system must not exceed the water absorption capacity of the soil. A determination of the instantaneous water absorption capacity of the soil is difficult,however, since the value varies with the water content of the soil. As the soil approaches saturation with water,the absorption rate reduces to an equilibrium rate called the "saturated hydraulic conductivity." Wastewater application rates should be less than 10 percent of this saturated equilibrium. Even though the trickle irrigation system maximizes the soil absorption rate through the low rate of application,thus keeping the soil below saturation, there will be times when the soil is at or near saturation from rainfall events. The design must account for these periods and assume the worst case condition of soil saturation. By designing for a safety factor of 10 or 12,based on the saturated hydraulic conductivity,the system will be under-loaded most of the time but should function without surface failure during extreme wet periods. By applying wastewater slowly for a few hours daily,particularly if applied in "pulses" or short doses several times per day near the soil surface where the soil dries the quickest would keep the soil absorption rate at the highest value and minimize the potential of water surfacing in poor soil conditions. As stated previously, this design criterion will under-load the system at all times except when the soil is at or near saturation from rainfall. If designing for an efficient irrigation system, the water supply may not be sufficient to meet the demands of a lawn or landscaped area during peak water demand months. This problem can be overcome by either of two solutions: add additional fresh-water make-up to the system during the growing season to supply the needed water for plants in question; or split the system into two or more fields with necessary valves and only use one of the fields during the peak water demand months and alternate the fields during winter months or extremely wet periods, or use both fields simultaneously if the pump capacity will so allow. NOTES: o The chart below is provided as a guide only. States and Counties may have regulations that are different. Check your State guidelines and consult with your local health department. o Problems with drip dispersal fields occur when soils are misinterpreted. If in doubt,choose the more restrictive soil type from the table above. o "Soil type" should be based on the most restrictive layer within two feet of the dripline. In many soils 1-ft. vertical separation from the limiting layer has proven successful with secondary treated effluent. Geoflow recommends you follow State and Local guidelines.

DEPTH AND SPACING WASTEFLOW systems usually have emitter lines placed on 2 foot (600 mm) centers with a 2 foot emitter spacing such that each emitter supplies a 4 sq. ft (0.36 m') area. These lines are best placed at depths of 6-10 inches (150 - 250 mm) below the surface. This is a typical design for systems in sandy and loamy soils with a cover crop of lawn grass. Closer line and/or emitter spacing of 12 inches is used on heavy clay soils or very coarse sands where lateral movement of water is restricted. Using closer spacing should not reduce the size of the field. 5. SOIL LAYERS AND TYPES The shallow depth of installation is an advantage of the subsurface dripfield since the topsoil or surface soil is generally the most biologically active and permeable soil for accepting effluent. The topsoil also dries the fastest after a rainfall event and will maintain the highest water absorption rate. The quality and homogeneity of the soil may present a problem. If the soil was not properly prepared and there are pieces of construction debris, rocks and non-uniform soils,it is very difficult to obtain uniform water spread. In many cases, particularly if the soil is compacted, soil properties can be greatly improved by ripping and disking. 6. ADDING FILL TO THE DISPERSAL FIELD Some dispersal sites require additional soil be brought in for agronomic reasons or to increase separation distances from the restrictive layer. Restrictive layers stop or greatly reduce the rate of downward water movement,as a result surfacing may occur during part of the year. In soils with high water tables treatment is minimized due to a lack of oxygen. Placing drip lines in selected fill material above the natural soil provides an aerated zone for treatment. Dispersal however still occurs in the natural soil and the field size must be based on the hydraulic capability of the natural soil to prevent hydraulic overload. Any time fill material is to be used,the area to receive the fill should have all surface grasses and other organic material removed or it must be incorporated into the natural soil to prevent an organic layer from forming and restricting downward water movement. Removal must be performed under dry conditions. Divert surface and subsurface water prior to adding fill, Soils to be used should be determined by a soils expert. Uniform soil material with good structure should be chosen. Avoid platy or massive materials with no structure. The fill material should be applied in shallow layers with the first 4 to 6 inches incorporated into the natural soil to prevent an abrupt textural interface. Placement of fill should be uniform so preferential bypass flows do not occur. Soil should not be compacted. Continue this process until all fill has been incorporated. The fill area should be left crowned to shed surface water and may need diversion ditches or some other devices to prevent surface water from infiltrating. The entire fill area should have a vegetative cover to prevent erosion. If possible,allow the fill to set at least seven to ten days before installing WASTEFLOW dripline. It is generally agreed that fill should not be used on slopes greater than 20% unless means for controlling erosion, such as netting,are used. Consult a soils engineer on a case by case basis. GEOFLOW Inc. 800-828-3388/415-927-6000 www.geoflow.com 11 7. SLOPES OR HILLY SITES A. High Points and siphoning A potential problem with buried drip lines is siphoning dirt into the emitters when the pump is switched off. For this reason: i) At least one vacuum breaker should be installed at the highest point in each zone. It is best practice to install one at the high point of the supply and one at the high point of the return manifold. ii) Drip lines should be connected at the end to a common return line with a flush valve. Run dripline along a contour if at all possible. Avoid installing lines along rolling hills where you have high and low points more than 3 ft. off contour along the same line. If the dripline is installed over a ridge,as shown below,connect all the high points together and install a vacuum breaker on the connecting line. Connecting line with air vent at high point Air vent Manifold • Flus B. Dripline Pressure Tolerances As water travels through a manifold or uphill, pressure decreases,or conversely,if water moves downhill pressure increases,which can affect the flow variation between the first dripline and the last dripline on the manifold. WASTEFLOW Classic: The Classic dripline can be operated in a range of 10 to 45 psi,however too wide a variance in the pressure in a single field will result in too high a variance in flow within that field. As a rule of thumb,if the level variation within a WASTEFLOW Classic zone exceeds six feet, individual pressure regulators should be placed for each six-foot interval. WASTEFLOW PC: PC dripline can tolerate very large height variations provided the pressure remains within the 7 to 60 psi range,and preferably within 10 to 45 psi. C. Low Head Drainage At the end of each dosing cycle,consideration must be taken for gravity. Where is the water going to drain when the pump shuts off? Water in the dripline will flow down to the lowest point within the drip zone. This is called "low head drainage." Use the following precautions to mitigate low head drainage. i. The dripline should run along the contour if at all possible because water will run to the lowest point of the line every time the pump is turned off. If the lowest point in the line is in the middle of the lateral, there will be excess flow at this point. Area of higher flow after pump is turned off. 12 GEOFLOW Inc. 800-628-3 $1415-927-6000 www.deoflow.com ii Have the dripline pass over an elevated berm between the manifold and beginning of the tubing to reduce gravity flow out of the lateral. In looped systems, elevating the loop will keep the effluent in its respective run. Dripline _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Manifold in trench --- Berm under flex PVC or plain Wasrcflow line iii. Use check valves or multiple zones to isolate the drip laterals. Check valves should only be used if there is no risk of freezing in the manifolds. They are placed on the supply and return manifolds coupled with an airvent on the downhill side. If unsure, as a rule of thumb,use a maximum of 1500 ft of Geoflow dripline within each zone or section. iv. Install short manifolds with fewer longer dripline runs. v. Slope the supply and return manifolds down to the pump tank so the effluent drains back down to the tank when the pump is turned off. Open the zone valves fully to drain the lines quickly. ® ®_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Air vent Slope .._.-.-.-.-._.-.-._ -•-•-•-•-•-• Dripline: Many -•-•---------------•---•----------------- Dnpline: fewer _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.IVshoarunsarenot _,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_ longer runs arc recommended on preferableona •-•-•-•-•-•-• _._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._ slopes. slope. _._._._.-...._._._._ Manifolds _.-.-.-.-.-.-._. ._ "—�..---- Manifolds Concentrate drip lines at the top of the hill with wider spacing towards the bottom. In the case of compound slopes consult a professional irrigation designer or engineer. 8. MULTIPLE ZONES Drip dispersal fields can be divided into multiple zones or sections with solenoid valves or index valves for the following reasons: o Steep slopes with a risk of low head drainage can be subdivided to distribute the water at system shut-down more uniformly in the field. o Smaller zones reduce the required flow per minute which consequently reduces the size of the pump ,valves, filters, supply and return lines. GEOFLOW Inc. 800-828-33881415-927-6000 www.geoflow.com 13 o Subdividing the field is a tool used to achieve the optimum ranges required to efficiently operate the pumps, filters and valves. o If the dispersal field is located in multiple areas on the property. o To accommodate varying soils or vegetation on a single site. Note. On multiple zones, a single Wasteflow Headworks can be used for filtration and flushing by placing zone valves downstream of the Headworks box. All zones would require a check valve on the individual flush lines upstream of each line joining a common flush line to keep flush water from one zone entering any other zone during the flush cycle. (See Geoflow Design Detail No. 588) If the effluent has not been through secondary treatment, then each zone should have a dedicated filter or Wasteflow Headworks. 9. FLUSHING DESIGN Proper flushing of the drip system is critical for proper long term operation. Manual flushing of mains should be facilitated by provision of cleanouts to allow sequential flushing from the pump outward. For the Dripfield Automatic flushing is recommended and should be designed considering the following key points: o Geoflow's Wasteflow dripline includes GeoShield, a biocide lining to prevent slime accumulation, and the system should be designed to flush at minimum 0.5 fps flow velocity. o Minimum volume flushed should be I volume of dose mains, dose manifold and Dripline. o Flush time should allow for system pressurization prior to flushing,or add time for pressurization to flush time. o The flush return should be in a visible location. One option is to position the return over the septic tank inlet tee. o Ideal location to return field flush flow is to the upstream side of a two compartment drip pump tank. Drip pumps would be in the downstream side of the tank. Flush return flows must not adversely impact treatment system performance; minimize disturbance in the return tank and be sure to not overload secondary treatment. o Flush frequency at average flows should be minimum I per day. 10. WINTERIZATION Buried drip systems can be safely used in cold climates. However,where severe freezing conditions may be an issue the designer should exercise special care,and some key requirements must be met: o The dripline itself is made of polyethylene and not susceptible to freezing. It drains through the emitters so it will not be full of water after pumps are turned off. o All Manifolds and mains must be laid to drain rapidly,and/or buried below frost depth and/or insulated. Be sure drain valve on flush line remains open long enough for entire field to drain. Control system must adequately control drain back o Remove the check valve at the pump. o Insulate equipment boxes,including Headworks box or filter and field flush valve boxes as well as zone dosing valves,pressure regulator and air vacuum relief valves. Use closed-cell insulation such as Perlite in a plastic bag. Place metal pins near,or in,the boxes to help locate them when under snow. o In severe freezing conditions use heat tape or small heaters on PVC and PVC parts. GEOFLOW Inc. 800-828-33881415-927-6000 www.geoflow,conm o When installing PVC supply and return lines and manifolds be sure there are no dips in the lines. This can be avoided by using large diameter pipes (over 2") or by using schedule 80 pipe. o Air valves must be installed in insulated sealed valve boxes with drain rock sump extending below frost line.The top of air vacuum relief valves must be no higher than soil surface. o If using an index valve to split field zones, be sure it is capable of self-draining. o WASTEFLOW lines will self-drain through the emitters into the soil. If the cover crop over the dripfield is not yet adequately established,add hay or straw over the field for insulation. o Mark the valve box with a metal pin so you can find it in the winter when covered in snow. o If using manual filter flush valves or manual field flush valves,they should be left cracked open slightly to provide for rapid drainage of the flush line in freezing conditions. o Fields dosed with relatively small quantities of effluent are more likely to freeze than those dosed with design quantities. If winter use is less than summer use, then only use proportional number of fields to maintain water application rates in the field being dosed. o Install Dripline with minimum 20cm (8") cover. o Maintain forest or shrub vegetation in dripfield wherever possible. o Maintain organic soil cover,where occurring. o Use organic material to assist in insulation of dispersal area for first winter. o Trap snow over system, and do not allow packing of snow. o Do not install near roads or driveways etc. o Keep effluent warm: o Install all tanks in insulated "heat island" at house or other location. o Do not use continuous flush systems. o Use effluent heaters where seasonal use or cold water use is problematic. 11. LIGHTNING PROTECTION A direct lightning strike on your valve, controller or wire is going to cause unpreventable damage. It is apparently very difficult to completely prevent electricity from spreading as it jumps across air,runs along electrical wires and may even travel along your water pipes. Power fluctuations can be prevented. The controllers are built to take some electrical surge and pass it through to the ground without damage.This requires a ground wire connected to a grounding stake driven deep into the ground. The best protection would be to use a separate ground wire or rod, not the third ground wire in the building's electrical wiring circuits. If you are installing this system in an area with frequent lightning storms,we advise you to install a separate grounding rod for each field controller installed according to the current version of the National electric Code or as prescribed by local zoning ordinances 12. REUSE FOR IRRIGATION A good vegetative cover is an advantage to prevent erosion from the field and utilize water applied to the rooting zone. Sites should be planted or seeded immediately after installation. Grasses are particularly suitable for this application. Most lawn grasses will use 0.25"to 0.35" (6.3-8.9mm) of water per day during the peak growing season. This calculates to be about 0.16 to 0.22 gal/fte/day. By over-seeding lawns with winter ryegrass, this use efficiency can be continued through much of the GEOFLOW Inc. 800-828-3388/415-927-6000 www.geoflow.com 15 year. For vegetation using 0.16 to 0.22 gal/ft2/day by evapotranspiration, a sewage flow of 1000 gallons per day would supply the water needs of a landscaped area of 4600 to 6400 sq. ft.without having to add fresh water. For areas larger than this, the plants will suffer water stress during the hot months unless additional fresh water is applied. 13. WATER APPLICATION FORMULA To determine the rate of application for various drip irrigation designs,use the following formula: Water application (inches per hour) _ (231 x(emitter flow rate ph)) / ((Emitter spacing inches)x(dripline spacing inches)) Example: Dripline with 1.3!ph flow rate emitters spaced 24"apart and dripline spaced 24"apart. Water application = (231 x1.3)/(24x24) =0.52 inches of water per hour. 16 GEOFLOW Inc. 800-828-3388/415-927-6000 www.geoflow.com WORKSHEET: The following worksheet is a simplistic guideline and is available as an Excel spreadsheet. It can be downloaded from Geoflow's homepage at www.geoflow.com.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES All Geoflow drip systems require: o - Filtration with 120 mesh/130 micron o - Filter flush valve o - Field flush valve o - 2 Air vents in each zone All Wasteflow Classic drip systems requires pressure regulation Handle your dripline and components with care. nano-ROOTGUARlY is temperature sensitive. To assure a long life,store the dripline out of direct sunlight in a cool place. o All dripfield construction shall be done in accordance with Local rules and regulations. o Protect the site prior to installation. Construction traffic and material stockpiling can change the soil profile. Fence off entire dripfield prior to any construction. No utilities, cable wire, drain tile, etc shall be located in dripfield. o System is not to be installed when ground is wet or frozen. When the moisture in the soil is near the plastic limit(soils will ribbon and not easily crumble),it will be prone to smearing. o Prior to construction note if any water is accessing the location of the dripfield. Dripfield should not be located at the low point of a site. Divert all downspouts and surface waters away from dripfield. If a curtain drain is to be used be sure it is serviceable and properly screened. o Excavation, filling and grading should have been finished prior to installation of the subsurface drip system. Be sure to minimize soil disturbance when clearing and grubbing the dripfield. Preserve as many trees as possible. Use light track equipment for tree removal and grind out roots to below dripline depth rather than fully removing the entire root. o Be sure you have everything required for the installation before opening trenches. Pre-assemble as many sets of components as practical above ground and in a comfortable place. Compression c� c or Lockslip adapters should be glued to PVC tees, L�� riser units should be pre-assembled,and the sub- main manifold with tees can be pre-assembled and e' Loop dripline around vices used to mark the beginning and end of WASTEFLOW lines. o For particularly tough soil conditions, soil moisture the day before opening trenches or installing WASTEFLOW. Remember it is much easier to install the system in moist soil. The soil should be moist but still allow the proper operation of the installation equipment and not cause smearing in the trenches. The soil surface should be dry so that the installation equipment maintains traction. o Mark the four corners of the field. The top two corners should be at the same elevation and the bottom two corners should be at a lower elevation. In freezing conditions the bottom dripline must be higher than the supply and return line elevation at the dosing tank. o Install the dosing tank. It is critical that the tank is waterproof. If installing a riser, check that it is watertight, and the entry and exit ports are completely sealed. In freezing conditions the 20 GEOFLOW Inc. 800-828-3388/415-927-6000 www.geoflow.com dosing tank should be at the lowest elevation of the entire system. Lid should be placed at grade and water should be able to shed over it. o Install zone valves; solenoid or hydraulic index valves. o Install the PVC supply line from the dosing tank,up hill through one lower and one upper corner stake of the dispersal field. Please refer to your State guidelines for depth of burial. o Paint a line between the two remaining corner stakes. o Install the Geoflow WASTEFIA W dripline from the supply line trench to the painted line, approximately 6" to 10"deep as specified. Upon reaching the painted line,pull the plow out of the ground and cut the dripline 1'above the ground. Tape the end of the dripline to prevent debris from entering. The tubing expands in warm temperatures and contracts in cold temperatures. If installing during the warmer months, be sure to allow some play in the tubing so it will not pull out of the fittings when it gets cold. Continue this process until the required footage of pipe is installed. Geoflow dripline must be spaced according to specification (2 ft. is standard). Depth of burial of dripline must be consistent throughout the field. Take care not to get dirt into the lines. o If the system is looped, install the looped ends with Geoflow plain tubing or flex PVC. If in a cold climate be sure to pitch these slightly so they do not hold water and freeze. The loops are to be installed on the outside of the measured field. o Install the supply header with tees lined up at each Geoflow line. Hook up the Geoflow lines to the supply header. Do not glue WASTEFLOW dripline. Lockslip Fittings Installations i) Hold the fitting in one hand and position the tubing with the other hand. Move the sleeve back,and push the tubing onto the exposed stem as far as possible. iii) Push the sleeve out over the tubing and thread the sleeve onto tubing, as though tightening a nut to a bolt. Hand tighten. Do not use tools. iv) Test the connection to make sure the sleeve threads have gripped the tubing tightly. o Install the filter headworks between the field and the pump tank on the supply line. Insulate the box in freezing conditions. When using an open bottom headworks box,place a rodent barrier down first. This can be made from bricks, paving stones, chicken wire, 3 layers of filter fabric or a 6"minimum depth of 1"gravel. Support the pipes entering and exiting the headworks with gravel. o If using a pressure regulator,install it downstream of the filter headworks, just ahead of the dispersal field,on the supply line. Although the pressure regulator can be buried directly into the soil, it is preferable to install it inside a small valve box for easy access. *Insulate the box in freezing conditions. o Install the floats in the dosing tank and wire up to the timer control. The timer control should be set to pump no more than the design flow,do not set to match the treatment capacity. o Install the pump. Fill the dosing tank with fresh water and turn on the pump. Check for flow out the ends of all of the Geoflow lines. Let the pump run for about five minutes to flush out any dirt. Shut off the pump and tape the ends of the lines. o Dig the return header ditch along the line painted on the ground and back to the pre-treatment tank. Start the return header at the farthest end from the dosing tank. The return line must have slope back to the treatment tank,septic tank or pump tank. GEOFLOW Inc. 800-828-3388/415-927-6000 www.geoflow.com 21 o Install the return header and connect all of the Geoflow lines. Care must be taken not to kink the dripline. o Install air vacuum breakers at the highest points in the dispersal field. Use pipe dope or Teflon tape and hand tighten. Use a 6" minimum depth of 1"gravel below the boxes to keep rodents out. Insulate in freezing climates. o Install a ball or solenoid field flush valve on the return line to the pretreatment or pump tank unless a pre-assembled Wasteflow Headworks is being used. If a Headworks was installed on the supply line, connect the return line back through the Headworks box. Support the return pipe before it enters the Headworks with gravel. If using electric solenoid valves, connect the valve common and an individual output wire to the solenoid leads using watertight electrical connectors. o Allow glue fittings 1 —2 hours to set. Open the field flush valve and turn on the pump to flush lines then close the valve and check the field and all piping and connections for leaks. Turn off the system o Check filters and valves for construction debris. o Turn on the pump and check: • Pressure at the air vacuum breaker(s) against design pressure. • Check the pressure in the WASTEFLOW Headworks. It should be five psi or higher. ' • if pressure gauges are on each side of the filter, note these for benchmark differential pressure across the filter. If using a manual valve for field flushing, crack it open until at least one PSI is lost or design pressure is reached and leave in that position. o Flow rates from flow meter or draw down on tank. Compare to design flow. o Wet spots in the field. If any sections are particularly wet,determine if they are caused by faulty connections, drippers or shallow burial. o Check that solenoid valves are functioning. Close the internal manual bleed after flushing the system. If solenoid will not close, first clean the solenoid with caution not to lose small spring, and if this fails, open the bonnet and clean the inside. o Establish vegetation cover as specified. o Provide owner with final as-built diagrams flow,measurements and pressure readings at startup. o Provide controller records at startup,including elapsed time meter,pump counts, secondary override counts,high water counts and primary float counts. o Solenoid Valve Installation and Operation • Wrap male adapters with 2 wraps of Teflon tape and thread the adapters into the valve inlet and outlet 1 turn past hand tight. CAUTION: over tightening may cause damage to the valve. The solenoid is located on the downstream side of the valve. • Flush the laterals by opening the internal manual bleed lever on the downstream side of the solenoid. Turn the flow control stem fully open (counterclockwise) for flow control models. • Check that solenoid valves are functioning. 22 GEOFLOW Inc. 800-828-33881415-927-6000 www.geoflow.com TABLE 2.

For large systems or systems with a BOD > 30 mg/1 automation of maintenance is essential. Inspection and maintenance should be performed every six months. ROUTINE AND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE o Clean the filter cartridge. This may be done with a pressure hose. Vortex screen filter cartridge should be cleaned from the outside inwards,while the discs in the disc filter cartridge should be separated and then cleaned. If bacteria buildup is a problem,we advise first trying lye, and if the problem persists, soak the filter cartridge in a chlorine bath - a mixture of 50% bleach and 50%water. o Open the field flush valve and flush the field for 3-5 minutes by activating the pump in "manual"position. Close the flush valve. On automatic solenoid valves the manual bleed lever should always be in the closed position and the dial on top should be free spinning. This allows it to open when pulsed electrically. Clockwise rotation closes valve. o With the pump in the"manual"position,check the pressure in the drip field by using a pressure gauge on the Schrader valve located on the air vents and by reading the pressure gauge located in the Wasteflow Headworks box. The pressure should be the same as shown on the initial installation records. On systems with manual flush valves,close the field flush valve completely and then open the valve slightly until there is a 1-2 psi drop or design pressure is reached. This will allow the field to drain after each dose to prevent the manifold lines from freezing. o Remove the lids on the vacuum breaker and check for proper operation. If water is seen leaking from the top of the vacuum breaker,remove the cap of the vacuum breaker and press down on the ball to allow any debris to be flushed out. Be careful not to come in contact with the effluent. o Turn off the pump and reset the controller for auto mode. o Periodically remove and clean the air vents, field flush and filter flush valves. o Visually check and report the condition of the drip field,including any noticeable wetness. o Treatment and distribution tanks are to be inspected routinely and maintained when necessary in accordance with their approvals. o Record the elapsed time meter,pump counter,override counter,high-level alarm and power failures. This information can be obtained from the controller. GEOFLOW Inc. 800-828-3388/415-927-6000 www.geoflow.com 25 HOME OWNERS GUIDE FOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF GEOFLOW DRIP DISPERSAL FIELD .116 A drip dispersal system has been installed on your property for the subsurface dispersal of the effluent from your home. The drip dispersal system consists of a series of diameter drip tubing installed at a shallow depth of 6-10" below the ground surface. It is designed to effectively disperse the treated effluent in the ground with a combination of soil absorption and plant uptake. Your drip dispersal system will function for many years with only minimal maintenance being required, provided the following recommendations are followed: o Establish landscaping(preferably a grass cover) immediately. This will stabilize the soil and allow for the grass to take up the water. o Do not discharge sump pumps, footing drains or other sources of clear water to the system, except for the effluent discharge from your treatment system. o Maintain all plumbing fixtures to prevent excess water from entering the dispersal system. o Do not drive cars, trucks or other heavy equipment over the drip dispersal field. This can damage the drip components or the soil and cause the system to malfunction. Lawn mowers, rubber wheeled garden tractors and light equipment can be driven over the drip field. o Do not drive tent stakes,golf putting holes,croquet hoops etc.,into the dispersal field o Contact your service company if your high water alarm should sound. The pump chamber is sized to allow additional storage after the high water alarm sounds but you should refrain from excessive water usage (i.e.,laundry) until the system has been checked. o After a temporary shut down due to a vacation or other reason, the treatment plant ahead of the drip field filter initially may not function effectively, resulting in the filter blocking. Refer to maintenance guidelines above to clean the filter. Contact your service company if you notice any areas of excessive wetness in the field. In most cases, this is usually caused by a loose fitting or a nicked dripline and can be easily repaired. Note: There may be some initial wetness over the dripline following the system's installation. This should cease once the ground has settled and a grass cover is established 26 GEOFLOW Inc. 800-B28-33881415-927-6000 www.geoflow.com SITE INSPECTION LIST: Contractor Site Address Date Site observations 1 Is dripfield located at the lowest point in the site where all waters may pond? 2 Is there any water coming in from neighbors?Downspouts?

During other times the water level in the pump chamber is at a normal level Possible cause: Peak water usage (frequently laundry day) is causing a temporary high water condition to occur. Remedy; Set timer to activate the pump more frequently. Be sure to not exceed the total design flow. To avoid this,reduce the duration of each dose. Remedy: Provide a larger pump tank to accommodate the peak flow periods. Symptom: High water alarm activates during or shortly after periods of heavy rainfall, Possible cause: Infiltration of ground/surface water into system. Remedy: Identify sources of infiltration, such as tank seams, pipe connections,risers,etc. Repair as required. Symptom: High water alarm activates intermittently,including times when it is not raining or when laundry is not being done. Possible cause: A toilet or other plumbing fixture may be leaking sporadically but not continuously. Check water meter readings for 1-2 weeks to determine if water usage is unusually high for the number of occupants and their lifestyle. Also determine if water usage is within design range. Remedy: Identify and repair fixture. Symptom: High water alarm activates continuously on a new installation (less than 3 months of operation). Inspection of the filter indicates it is plugged with a gray colored growth. Water usage is normal. Possible cause: Slow start-up of treatment plant resulting in the presence of nutrient in the effluent sufficient to cause a biological growth on the filter. This is typical of lightly loaded treatment plants that receive a high percentage of gray water (i.e., from showers and laundry), Remedy: Remove and clean filter cartridge in a bleach solution. Add a gallon of household bleach to pump tank to oxidize organics. Contact treatment plant manufacturer for advice on speeding up the treatment process possibly by"seeding" the plant with fresh activated sludge from another treatment plant. Symptom: Water surfaces continuously at one or more isolated spots, each one foot or more in diameter. Possible cause: Damaged drip line or a loose connection is allowing water be discharged under pressure and therefore at a much greater volume than intended. Remedy: Dig up drip line. Activate pump and locate leak. Repair as required. Possible cause: If water is at base of slope,can be caused by low-head drainage. Remedy: Install check valves and airvents in the manifolds to redistribute water in the system after pump is turned off. This is not advised for freezing climates where manifold drainage is required. Symptom: A portion of the drip field closest to the feed manifold is saturated while the rest of the field is dry. 8 GEOFLOW Inc. 800-828-3388/415-927-6000 www.geoflow.com Possible cause: Insufficient pump pressure. A pressure check at the return manifold indicates pressure of less than 10 psi. Remedy: Check filter and pump intake to insure they are not plugged. If they are, clean as require. Remedy: Leaks in the system may be resulting in loss of pressure. Check for water leaks in connections and fittings or wet spots in the field. Also check air vents to insure they are closing properly. Repair as necessary. Remedy: Pump is worn or improperly sized. Pressure at feed manifold is less than 15 psi. Verify pressure requirements of system and provide a new or larger pump. As an alternate approach, the drip field may need to be divided into two or more zones. Possible cause: The duration of each dose is of insufficient length to allow the drip field to become pressurized before the pump shuts off(or runs for only a brief time before turning off). Remedy: Increase the pump run time and decrease the frequency of doses. Always calculate (or observe during field operation) how long the system takes to fully pressurize and add this time to the design dosing duration. Symptom: High water alarm begins to activate continuously after a long period (1-2 years) of normal operation. Inspection of the filter indicates it is plugged with a heavy accumulation of sludge. Possible cause: A buildup of solids in the pump tank due to carryover from the treatment plant. Remedy: Replace the filter cartridge with a clean cartridge. Check the pump tank and if an accumulation of solids is noted,pump the solids out of the pump tank. Also, check the operation of the treatment plant to insure it is operating properly. Symptom: Water surfaces at several spots in drip field during dosing periods. Installation is recent, less than 6 months of usage and the soil is a moderate to heavy clay. Possibly, the installation was completed using a non-vibratory plow. Possible cause: Smearing of the soil may have occurred during installation of drip line. Also, the "cut"resulting from the installation allows an easy path for the water to surface during dosing. Remedy: In most cases the sod will compact naturally around the drip line and the surfacing will diminish and ultimately cease. To help, reduce the duration of each dose and increase the number of doses/day. Also, it will help to seed the area to encourage the development of a good root zone. Symptom: Entire area of drip field is wet, soft and spongy. It appears to be totally saturated with water. Situation occurs during dry season when there is little rainfall. Possible cause: Water being discharged to drip field exceeds design. Excess water may be a result of infiltration,plumbing leaks or excessive water usage. Remedy: Check water meter,elapsed time meter,pump counter,override counter or high level alarm counter to determine if water usage is in excess of design. Check for leaks or infiltration. Repair leaks as required. Reduce water usage by installing water saving fixture. Remedy: If water usage cannot be reduced, enlarge drip field as required. Possible cause: Area of drip field was inadequately sized and is too small. Remedy: Provide additional soil analysis to verify sizing and enlarge as required. GEOFLOW Inc. 800-828-3388/415-927-6000 www.geoflow.com 29 Valve Troubleshooting Symptom: Valve will not open manually Check water supply and any possible master or gate valves to insure they are open. Check that the valve is installed with the arrow pointing in the downstream direction Check that the flow control is fully open,counterclockwise. Turn off the water supply. Remove the solenoid and check for debris blocking the exhaust port. Turn off the water supply. Remove the cover. Inspect the diaphragm for damage and replace if necessary. Symptom:Valve will not open electrically Check voltage at controller for 24 VAC station. Check voltage across the solenoid lead wires for minimum 21 VAC. Make sure handle on top of valve is free spinning. Not all the way open or all the way closed. If the valve still does not operate,electrically replace the solenoid. Symptom:Valve will not close Insure the manual bleed lever is in the closed position. Check for leaks around the flow control, solenoid or between valve cover and body. Turn off the water supply. Remove the solenoid and check for debris or damage to the exhaust port. Turn off the water supply. Remove valve cover and inspect for debris under diaphragm or debris in diaphragm ports. Symptom: Slow leak Check for dirt or gravel embedded in the diaphragm seat. Check actuator and exhaust fitting for proper seating. 30 GEOF LOW Inc. 800-828-3388/415-927-6000 www.geoflow.com SUBSURFACE DRIP DISPERSAL KEY COMPONENTS MINIMUM STANDARDS Component Standard Notes Designed specifically for wastewater use,with purple Do not use non-wastewater tubing or stripe and a turquoise inner emitters.

Description The flexible 1/2" polyethylene dripline has large emitters regularly spaced in the line. With the dripline hidden about six inches below ground,effluent is distributed slowly and uniformly;reducing ponding,even in difficult soils and hilly terrain. WASTEFLOW is built to last. It is guaranteed to be trouble- free from root intrusion with built-in nano-ROOTGUARD® protection, and the dripline wall is protected from organic growth with the Geo.rbielrllining.WASTEFLOW provides uniform distribution. The emitters have a Coefficient of variation of less than.05. Different flow rates, dripline diameters and emitter spacings can be special ordered. Use 600 series compression adapters or lockslip fittings to connect the dripline to PVC pipe. nano-ROOTGUARD Protection WASTEFLOW dripline features patented nano-ROOTGUARD technology to prevent roots from clogging the emission points. The pre-emergent,Treflan®, is bound into WASTEFLOW emitters when they are molded to divert roots from growing into the emitter outlet. The system is guaranteed against root intrusion for 15 years. ANTI BACTERIAL Protection Geoshield®is incorporated into the inner lining and emitters of WASTEFLOW dripline to prevent bacteria from growing on the walls of the tubing and emitters. It eliminates the need to scour the tubing. It is a tin based formula that defeats the energy system of microbial cells. This means smaller pumps or larger zones can be used with WASTEFLOW dripline than unprotected dripline. PC vs. CLASSIC Geoflow, Inc. offers WASTEFLOW dripline in both pressure compensating (WASTEFLOW PC) and non-compensating (WASTEFLOW Classic) models. We recommend that WASTEFLOW PC be used when the advantages are of substantial economic value. a) Very long runs. b) Steep slopes. Systems should be designed for the dripline lateral to follow the contour. If this is possible, the extra cost of pressure regulators required for WASTEFLOW Classic would likely be less than the incremental cost of WASTEFLOW PC. c) Rolling terrain. If the difference in height from trough to peak exceeds six feet then WASTEFLOW PC should be used. Vacuum relief valves must be placed at the top of each rise. WASTEFLOW PC and WASTEFLOW Classic can be interchanged to meet filter and zone flow requirements. • WASTEFLOW is manufactured under US Patents 5332160,5116414 and Foreign equivalents. • Geoshielda is a registered trademark of A.l.lnnovations • WASTEFLOW is a registered trademark of A.1.lnnovation • TREF1 AN is a registered trademark of Dow Agin Chemicals iow Geoflow,Inc.

Tel 415-927-6000/800-828-3388 Fax 415-927-0120 www.geoflow.com A.01 t1y INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE • Systems should always be depressurized and drained prior to installing or maintaining your True Union Ball Check Valves. • Temperature effect on piping systems should always be considered when the systems are initially designed. Piping systems must be designed and supported to prevent excess mechanical loading on valve equipment due to system misalignment, weight,shock,vibration,and the effects of thermal expansion and contraction. • Because PVC and CPVC plastic products become brittle below 40°F,Geoflow recommends caution in their installation and use below this temperature. • Due to differential thermal expansion rates between metal and plastic,transmittal of pipe vibration,and pipe loading forces DIRECT INSTALLATION OF METAL PIPE INTO PLASTIC CONNECTIONS IS NOT RECOMMENDED. Wherever installation of plastic valves into metal piping systems is necessary, it is recommended that at least 10 pipe diameter in length of plastic pipe be installed upstream and downstream of the plastic valve to compensate for the factors mentioned above. • SOCKET CONNECTION: Socket end connections are manufactured to ASTM D2467 (PVC) and F-439(CPVC). Solvent cementing of socket end connections to pipe should be performed per ASTM specifications D2855-87. Cut pipe square. Chamfer and deburr pipe. Surfaces must be cleaned and free of moisture,oil,dirt and other foreign material. Remove Union-nuts and end connectors from valve body. Slide Union-nuts,with threads facing valve, onto pipe to which the end connector is to be cemented. Apply primer to inside socket surface of end connector. Never allow primer or cement to contact valve ball or end connector o-ring sealing surfaces,as leaking may result. Use a scrubbing motion. Repeat applications may be necessary to soften the surface of the socket. Next,liberally apply primer to the male end of the pipe to the length of the socket depth. Again apply to the socket,and without delay apply cement to the pipe while the surface is still wet with primer. Next apply cement lightly,but uniformly to the inside of the socket. Apply a second coat of cement to the pipe,and assemble end connector to the pipe,rotating the end connector 1/4 turn in one direction as it is slipped to full depth on to the pipe. The end connector should be held in position for approx.30 seconds to allow the connection to"set". After assembly wipe off excess cement. Follow cement manufacturers guidelines for proper "cure-time",based on the pipe size that you are joining. • THREADED CONNECTION: Threaded end connections are manufactured to ASTM specifications D2464. F437 and ANSI B1.20.1. Due to the variable quality and tolerances of plastic male threaded nipples,Colonial no longer recommends the use of VFFtt(TeflonOl?) tape. We recommend using the following thread sealant: IPS WELD-ON All SealTM. To provide a leak proof joint,the pipe should be threaded into the end connection"hand tight". A strap wrench may be used to tighten the joint an additional 1/2 turn past hand tight. Tightening beyond this point may induce excessive stress that could cause failure. Geoflow, Inc.

The air vent vacuum breakers are installed at the highest points in the drip field to keep soil from being sucked into the emitters due to back siphoning and back pressure. This is an absolute necessity with underground drip systems. They are also used for proper drainage of the supply and return manifolds. Use one on the high point of the supply manifold and one on the high point of the return manifold I ti and any high points of the system. Cif Features _ _ Geoflow's new kinetic air vacuum breakers have a twist off cap that is easy to take apart for cleaning. No need to remove the valve to maintain it. The large clear ie passageway allows lots of air to flow in and out easily. ell* The protected mushroom cap is ideal for wastewater, directing spray downward.
