Based on the data collected from the soil classifications performed by others and our understanding of the pre-engineered system, I, Brett Schaefer, designing engineer for Alternative Septic Services, LLC, contend that the proposed systems will function satisfactorily and in accordance with the requirements of 15A NCAC 18A—Sanitation:Section.1900—Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems. Included in Attachment I is the Onsite Soil and Site Evaluation Report, submitted by Alternative Septic Services, LLC., which summarizes the data, collected during the site visit on June 19, 2021. The proposed drain field is to be in the vicinity of the GPS coordinates shown on the attached drawing (Figure 1). Soil design parameters were primarily based on data collected from the soil borings. The drain field design is based on the given soils report and must be located within the GPS coordinates. Included in Attachment II are the calculation worksheet and the Proposed WWT System Layout Map (Figure 1 &Figure 2). The following design specifications are based on a proposed wastewater treatment system for a four(4) bedroom residence with 480 gallons per day (GPD) flow rate and a 0.20 GPD/SF loading rate for the drain field and the repair area. A minimum 2,400 ft2 drain field and a minimum 2,400 ft2 repair area shall be in the areas represented by soil borings Al,A2,A3, and A4(Figure 1). The lines shall be installed 42 inches below grade within the drain field and within the repair area(if the repair area is necessary). The drain field shall be shaped to shed rainwater and be free of low spots. In addition, all water from roofs, driveways and other impervious areas must be diverted away from the drain field. Irrigation systems shall not be installed within the drain field. The system shall consist of a 500NU ATU wastewater treatment system. The pump tank shall contain the 20EB Blaster Pump which shall be sufficient to supply the drain lines with treated water. Please note the location and orientation of the 500NU ATU may vary due to construction and site limitations. Also note that the engineer is responsible for supervising construction and inspection (in person or by Responsible Charge), and the preparation of as-built plans of actual installation. The system shall not be installed in wetlands. • Please review and adhere to the On-site Soil and Site Evaluation found in Attachment I as special care is required to maintain drain field integrity and for additional construction notes for this site.

It is recommended to utilize 1,200 linear feet of drip tubing for the septic drainfield. (See attached site plan,for detail.) It is also recommended to delineate the system again prior to installation. Onsite Wastewater Septic System Setbacks (Buffers) and Site Recommendations: The following items are recommended to preserve the integrity of the proposed site and surrounding area. 1. It is recommended to encase all septic system supply lines where they cross roads, drives and/or power lines (pursuant to Laws and Rules for Sewage Treatment, and Disposal Systems 15A NCAC 18A.11,200) 2. It is recommended to divert stormwater runoff away from all proposed septic areas. 3. The installation plans will need to be based off of the Engineering Design. Please note that a minimum 1,200 linear feet of drip tubing is required (see attached site plan). 4. The proposed septic system designs/layouts are based on dodging large trees or other obstacles that may hinder the installation or operation of the septic system. 5. The proposed onsite wastewater system is based off of theoretical calculations based on data obtained at the site. Actual system performance is not guaranteed. 6. The proposed initial septic system and repair system must maintain a setback (Buffer), specified by North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), including: 5' horizontal from the house and all foundations, 50' horizontal from any surface water, 100' horizontal minimum from all wells (can be reduced to 50' in circumstances), 10' horizontal from all property lines and water lines, 20' horizontal from any other septic system (except repair) and 15' horizontal from cut banks (unless filled and compacted, 5' horizontal setback) 4 Lot#80—The Summit @ Lake Norman II=1 Soils and Onsite Wastewater Evaluation.8207 Long Island Road(Lot#80).Tax Parcel IN 4700-0287-6302.Catawba Co..NC(SJM(Feb 2022)) 8207 Long Island Road 11111111.--- Catawba County,NC '�"" Tax ID#4700-0287-6302I Qro w.ew. • 4-BDR(480 GPD) 111 e..""""°" I�.w..

Our system converts the sewage from your residence or business into a clear, odorless liquid. This high degree of treatment is accomplished at a remarkably low operating cost per month. The system has been simplified over the years to make it as inexpensive to operate and as low in long term maintenance as possible. Homeowners who have lived with the nuisance of a septic odor lingering in their neighborhood will truly appreciate the pleasure of owning a Clearstream System. Clearstream Model NU Systems used without, or in conjunction with a Clearstream Model 1100 Spin Filter, complied with NSF Standard 40 for Class I systems. PROCESS DESCRIPTION The Clearstream Wastewater Treatment System operates in the extended aeration mode of the activated sludge process. Wastewater first enters a pre-treatment tank, then the primary effluent enters the aeration chamber of the system through a 4" Sch. 40 PVC inlet pipe. The wastewater is then mixed throughout the aeration chamber by releasing compressed air near the bottom of the chamber through a fine bubble diffuser. The rising air bubbles transfer oxygen to the wastewater which allows aerobic organisms to thrive and ultimately decompose the incoming waste matter. The turbulence caused by the rising air bubbles also creates a mixing pattern which keeps the sludge in suspension. As incoming wastewater enters the aeration chamber, existing "mixed liquor" from the aeration chamber is displaced into the bottom of the cone-shaped clarifier. The clarifier chamber allows the water to still so that suspended solids in the "mixed liquor" can settle back into the aeration chamber for further biological breakdowns. The remaining clear water in the upper zone of the clarifier chamber then gravity discharges through the surge control weir and into the combination pump tank/disinfection contact tank. The final treated, filtered, and disinfected effluent is then discharged by the effluent pump. When properly loaded and maintained, the aforementioned process allows the Clearstream Wastewater Treatment System to provide years of satisfactory service for the consumer. Clearstream Models NU systems meet the performance requirements of NSF Standard 40 Class I with a 30 day average of <25 mg/I CBOD and <30 mg/I TSS. Actual NSF test results used to determine if Clearstream met Standard 40 requirements averaged 6 mg/I's BOD and 9 mg/I TSS. When Clearstream Model 1100 Spin Filter Assembly was utilized in the Standard 40 Test the results averaged 5 mg/I's BOD and 7 mg/I TSS. OPERATING MANUAL In the event you experience a problem with your Clearstream Aerobic Wastewater Treatment System or if service is required, you may reference the Clearstream Control Panel Cover for the name, address and phone number of a local service person that can provide service for your Clearstream Unit. After the expiration of your initial two year service policy provided by the system installer, you may obtain a continuing service policy on a yearly basis which will include terms comparable to the initial service policy from a local service person that is trained and certified by Clearstream. In order for the Clearstream System to function at optimum performance levels, the system will require periodic service.The normally expected service that is associated with the system includes: 1. Repair or replace aerator 2 to 10 years 2. Clean filters on aerator 6 mos. to 2 years 3. Break up scum in clarifier 6 mos. to 2 years 4. Pump sludge from aeration tank 2 to 5 years* 5. Pump sludge from pretreatment tank 2 to 5 years* 6. Check aeration diffusers annually 7. Check surge control weir 6 mos. 8. Repair or replace effluent pump 2 to 10 years * Any sludge removed from pretreatment tank or Clearstream Unit must be disposed of according to all state, local, and federal regulatory requirements. CAUTION! When removing solids from pretreatment tank and pump tank, remove solids from the pump tank FIRST! If the solids are removed from the pretreatment tank first, this would cause it to float up and possible damage piping connections. To remove solids from the pretreatment tank and the pump tank drop pump hose through access opening on top of tank all the way through to the bottom of the tank. Pump out the both tanks' volume in the order prescribed above, then fill the tank back up immediately followed by filling the pump tank. To remove solids from aeration chamber, drop hose through access opening in the tank all the way to the bottom of the tank. Pump only 1/2 of the total tank volume and fill the tank back up with water immediately. To determine if all system components are functioning properly, look and/or listen to see if the visual/audio alarm system is illuminated or making a buzzing sound. If the alarm is activated, then either the aerator has thrown its breaker or the high level float inside the clarifier is indicating a high water level condition. Verification of either condition can be made by visually monitoring the push button breaker to see if it is in the out position indicating it has been thrown and opening the access opening to the treatment unit to see if the water level inside the clarifier is at alarm level. After inspection of the clarifier, be sure to securely fasten the access cover back in place and tighten the tamper resistant bolt or bolts firmly. To determine if the system has the desirable mixed liquor and effluent characteristics, first remove the access cover. Monitor for odors coming from the tank. If the odor is a sweet smelling or musty smell, the system is operating in a desirable aerobic condition. If the odor is foul or smells like a rotten egg, then the system is operating in an undesirable anaerobic condition. Visually monitor the mixed liquor for color. If the color is a brownish color, then it is operating in a desirable aerobic condition. If it is grey or black in color, it is operating in an undesirable anaerobic condition. The system effluent should be clear with very few noticeable light brown solids suspended in the effluent. The effluent should not be dark or turbid in color or clear with great numbers of noticeable light brown suspended solids. After inspection of the system interior, be sure to securely fasten the access cover back in place and tighten the tamper resistant bolt or bolts firmly. In the event the alarm panel light and buzzer are activated call your local servicing dealer whose name, address, and phone number should be affixed to the face of the panel. To collect effluent samples from a system, a sample port must be added downstream of the effluent discharge. The sample port should be installed so that effluent cannot remain below the discharge water line and build up solids. A sample bottle should be capable of being lowered into the port on a string and laid on its side in the direct flow line of the discharge and removed when full of effluent. The expected effluent from the system should be less than 25 mg/I CBOD and less than 30 mg/I TSS with a PH range of 6-9. For the first two (2) years from the date of installation, your local servicing dealer (from whom you purchased your Clearstream System) will make periodic inspections of your system to make sure it is functioning properly. The dealer will perform necessary maintenance to the system at no charge unless the required maintenance is not warranty related. Pumping of the system is not included. After the first two (2) years, the dealer will offer a continuing service policy for a nominal annual fee. The two (2) year service policy as well as the continuing service policy are a minimum requirement of the NSF International. If local service requirements are greater than those of NSF, or if the local regulations require others to perform the service on these units, Clearstream's limited warranty will still be honored. For the Clearstream Aerobic Wastewater Treatment Unit to function properly it must be used for the treatment of domestic wastewater from residences or other waste flows with similar loading characteristics. Typical domestic wastewater consists of the flow from toilets, lavatories, sinks, bathtubs/showers, and washing machines. To prevent malfunctions of your Clearstream Unit, the following guidelines should be followed: 1. Any sewage system, whether aerobic or septic, should not have inorganic materials (plastics, cigarette butts, throwaway diapers, feminine napkins, condoms, etc.), that the bacteria cannot consume, discharged into the system. 2. Large amounts of harsh chemicals, oil, grease, high sudsing detergents, discharge from water softeners, disinfectants or any other chemical or substance that kills bacteria should not be discharged into the system. 3. Excessive use of water, over the design flow of the system, or organic overloading in excess of design parameters will cause the system not to perform to its fullest capabilities. 4. The proper operation of this or any other sewage treatment system depends upon the proper organic loading and the life of the micro organisms inside the system. Clearstream is not responsible for the in-field operation of a system, other than the mechanical and structural workings of the system itself. Field abuse and overloading of the system can only be cured by the user of the system. 5. When wastewater discharge, into a Clearstream Unit, is seasonal or intermittent to a point that the owner wishes to turn off the electricity (for more than three (3) months) to the aerator, the aerator inlet and outlet should be sealed to keep out moisture until the unit is ready to be restarted. CLEARSTREAM INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CLEARSTREAM TANK INSTALLATION 1. Prepare an excavation having minimum dimensions of at least one (1) foot larger than the circumference of the system. Make sure the depth of the excavation is deep enough to allow gravity flow to the inlet of the system and that the excavation bottom is level. Never install the Clearstream tank deeper than a depth that will require more than a maximum of 18 inches of riser depth. The access cover shall always be above a final grade after tank installation. In applications where more than the maximum 18 inches of riser is required, install a lift pump upstream of the Clearstream tank in order to pump the trash tank effluent to the Clearstream tank at normal grade. In these special applications where a lift pump is required, contact Clearstream for more details as to pump size, maximum dosages and maximum flow rates. 2. Set the Clearstream system in a prepared excavation that has a solid, level bottom that will eliminate tank settling. The excavation bottom should have no rocks or sharp objects present. 3. When lowering fiberglass unit into the prepared excavation use the lifting eyes which are bolted into the tank top. When lowering a concrete unit into the prepared excavation use a spreader bar or nylon sling. Spreader bars and other lifting devices should only be used that have been designed and tested for lifting Clearstream concrete tanks. Never lift fiberglass or concrete Clearstream units unless they are empty of all liquids. 4. For the Clearstream Unit to function properly, the tank must be level. To properly level the system, remove the acess covers and lay a three (3) foot level across the access openings in several directions. Shift the system in the hole as necessary to make the system level in all directions. The system may be slightly out of level, but it should not be out of level enough to cause tank malfunctions. 5. Fill the pre-treatment tank with water, checking periodically making sure the unit remains level. Then fill the treatment unit and finally fill the pump tank. 6. Connect the 4" Sch. 40 PVC Clearstream inlet pipe to the outlet pipe from the home or building. The Clearstream Unit should only be connected to a plumbing system from a wastewater source which has been properly trapped and vented in compliance with State and Local plumbing codes. 7. Back fill the excavation in layers with back fill material that will settle properly around the system. Tamp the back fill material as each layer is placed around the system. If necessary, use water to help settle the soil around the system. Special care should be taken to either tamp soil under where inlet and outlet pipes are bridging the excavation or use some other method of supporting pipes across the excavation. Do not back fill with heavy clay or large rocks. 8. Before completing the back fill, be sure the air line and the wiring from the alarm float and pump to the Control Panel has been laid underground. 9. For below normal grade installations a Clearstream 20 inch diameter riser may be used on all models except the 1500NU unit. The 1500NU unit must use a 32-inch diameter riser. In no case will more than 12 inches of additional riser depth be used on a single Clearstream Unit to bring the access cover above a final grade. All risers must be sealed with silicone to prevent ground water intrusion before back fill is completed. 10. Before leaving excavation site, be sure to securely fasten the Clearstream access covers in place with the tamper resistant bolt(s). Tighten bolts firmly to keep unauthorized personnel from gaining access to the interior of the system. CLEARSTREAM AERATOR AND CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION 1. Mount one of the Clearstream Control Panel Model series CS-114 in a location that can be easily noticed by the occupants. 2. Wire 30 amps, 115 Volts, 60Hz single phase power from an electrical disconnect to Clearstream Control Panel. Wire from Control Panel to the junction box mounted in the pump tank riser of the system and to the Aerator. Use a wiring diagram provided for each version of the Clearstream Control Panel Model series. All electrical wiring should be installed by a qualified person in compliance with applicable section of the National Electrical Code or other more stringent local codes. 3. Install Aerator Model CS-103 as close as practical to the system, but in no case greater than one hundred (100) feet away. Run 3/4" Sch. 40 PVC air line from aerator connector to air line connection at Clearstream system riser. Be careful to back fill underground air line in manner which will not cause air line to leak. The aerator must installed in a location that is dry, non-dusty, and highly ventilated. 4. Turn power on at electrical disconnect and check for proper system operation. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS The Clearstream Unit must never be installed without first obtaining all permits and approval from the local regulatory body. In areas that do not have local control over environmental activities, all applicable State and Federal environmental codes must be adhered to as well. Only properly licensed and trained individuals should install Clearstream equipment. ~ 148 1/2" -{ 03/4"CONDUIT CONNECTION FOR ELECTRICAL WIRING CHLORINATOR ' ( - ilir' 073 1/2" II , toili - hs ' i 03/4'S/40 PVC CONNECTION FOR AIRLINE CONNECTION Or PVC CONNECTION FOR EFFLUENT PUMP DISCHARGE ACCESS COVER FOR 020" OPENING �''/ HIGH WATER I iii ALARM FLOAT ' ..� __ Nr - am.— INTERNAL ta TRASH TANK11 SURGE CONTROL WEIR 82" idi 65" 63" AIR LINE CONDUIT rya D CLARIFIER 1 PUMP TANK DIFFUSER 500NU WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM 178 1/2" 03/4'CONDUIT CONNECTION FOR ELECTRICAL WIRING CHLORINATOR 411 11) 04'S/40 PVC INLET J 03/4'S/40 PVC CONNECTION FOR AIRLINE CONNECTION 01'PVC CONNECTION FOR EFFLUENT PUMP DISCHARGE ACCESS COVER FOR 020'OPENING HIGH WATER LEVEL / ALARM FLOAT , SURGE CONTROL WEIR 1 [�II=I' �'1UuI INTERNAL TRASH Nil —AIRLINE CONUIT 74 3/16' I 57' 54" ' CLARIFIER ni DIFFUSER PUMP TANK 600NU WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM Specifications Clearstream Units Model 500NU Treatment Capacity 500 G.P.D.

Trouble Shooting Guide 24 APPENDIXES: 27 INTRODUCTION Geoflow's WASTEFLOW®' drip system disperses effluent below the ground surface through I/2" pressurized pipes. It is designed using the grid concept with supply and flush manifolds at each end 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 are: • Human and animal contact with effluent is minimized, reducing health risks. • Correctly designed systems will not cause puddling or runoff. • 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. • Disposal of water is maximized by means of evapotranspiration. • The system requires no gravel. It is easy to install directly into indigenous soils and the natural landscape can be maintained. • Minimizes deep percolation. • Consumption of nitrates by the plant material is increased. • Invisible and vandal proof installations. • Ten-year warranty for root intrusion, workmanship and materials. Systems are durable with a long expected life. • Non intrusive. It allows use of the space while operating. • Easily automated. • Effluent can be re-used for irrigation. NOTES • These guidelines are for 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. • Please follow your State and County Regulations for onsite wastewater dispersal. This manual is intended to be a guide to users of the Geoflow drip system and should be used only as a supplement to your local regulations WASTEFLOW®is a registered trademark of A.I.

A typical drip system installation will consist of the elements listed below: 1. WASTEFLOW®DRIPLINE (See Appendix I for product specification) WASTEFLOW dripline carries the water into the dispersal/reuse area.The dripline is connected to the supply and return manifolds with Compression or Lockslip fittings. Typical spacing between each dripline and between drip emitters is 24"on center. 12"spacing is used regularly for soils with very low or high permeability.The pipe has no joints that may pull apart during installation and is ideal for tractor mounted burying machines. It is sold in 500-ft rolls. For export 400-m rolls are available. Rolls of alternative lengths, diameters and dripper spacings may be special ordered. WASTEFLOW dripline features: a) ROOTGUARDp2 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 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 ROOTGUARD technology slowly releases Treflan 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). ROOTGUARD carries a 10 year warranty against root intrusion. b) UlsraFresh®Protection Geoflow's WASTEFLOW has an inner lining impregnated with a an antimicrobial, Tributyl tin maleate, to inhibit adhesion of biological growth on the inside walls of the tube and 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 100 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, 0.5 feet per second is used with Wasteflow dripline to get the settled particles at the bottom of the pipe hack into suspension. This equates to 0.375 gpm per dripline. c)Turbulent Flow Path WASTEFLOW drip emitters are pre-inserted in the tube b", 12"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 ROOTGUARD® is a registered trademark of A.I. Innovations 3 Treflan is a registered trademark of Dow Agro Sciences 4 Geoflow Design and Installation Manual )lt~III II 41‘ WASTEFLOW Classic WASTEFLOW PC d)WASTEFLOW Classic and WASTEFLOW PC Dripline Both WASTEFLOW Classic and WASTEFLOW PC have turbulent flow path emitters with ROOTGUARD and UltraFresh®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 driplines require significantly higher flow for flushing than dosing as the emitter flow does not go down during the flushing cycle. We recommend that WASTEFLOW PC be used when the advantages are of substantial economic value. i) WASTEFLOW PC can be 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 (See Appendix 3) Controllers are used for time dosing and time flushing of the filter and dripfields. GEO controllers include a programmable logic control interface for field modifications. 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. For larger systems please inquire about our Wasteflow Manager controller which has monitoring and telemetry capabilities. 3. PUMPS AND PUMP TANKS 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. Pump tanks should be sized according to your local rules and regulations. 4.FILTERS Geoflow systems use a self-cleaning Vortex Filter with a stainless screen 150 mesh / 100 micron filter element. The self-cleaning action is efficient over a range of flow rates depending on the filter size. The clean-out port is at the base and can be opened and closed manually or automatically. If using a manual flush valve, please keep the valve cracked open slightly at all times for continuous flushing. Flush should be set at I% of dosing flow but no less than 1 gallon per minute, whichever is greater. The controller will fully open automatic filter flush valves. January 2004 v. II 5 5. SUPPLY MANIFOLD This carries the water from the dosing tank to the dispersal area. Rigid PVC is usually used and must be designed to slope back to the pump tank in freezing conditions. The velocity in the manifold should be between 2 feet per second and 5 feet per second (fps). Refer to PVC pipe sizing chart in the appendix to determine the best diameter for your application. 6.RETURN MANIFOLD 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. Hushing should be done frequently during the installation period. Periodic flushing will help to keep the manifolds clean.The return manifold should be installed to self-drain back to the pump or pretreatment tank in freezing climates. 7.PRESSURE REGULATOR (See Appendix 6 for product specification) Pressure regulators fix the inlet pressure at a given rate and are recommended with WASTEFLOW Classic. Under normal operating conditions,pressure in the drip lines should be 10 psi to 45 psi. 8.AIR VACUUM BREAKER (See Appendix 5 for product specification) Air vacuum breakers are installed at the high points 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 freezing 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 (See Appendix 4 for product specifications) Used to flush debris from the filter cleanout port back to the pretreatment 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. Cracking open a manual valve may be used to increase flow through the system to be within the efficient flow rate of the filter and/or pump,if necessary. Certain States may require automated electronic flushing. Please refer to your State codes. 10. FIELD FLUSH VALVES. (See Appendix 4 for product specifications) 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 or electronic. If manual, it should be opened for full flushing at least every six months and left cracked open slightly to flush continuously and provide for drainage of the flush line in freezing conditions. Cracking open a manual valve can also be used to; increase the flow through the system to be within the efficient flow rate of the filter and/or pump,or to set system pressure instead of a pressure regulator. 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 hydraulic activated index valves or solenoid valves. 6 Geoflow Design and Installation Manual 12.WASTEFLOW HEADWORKS (See Appendix 7 for product specifications) WASTEFLOW Headworks is a pre-assembled unit including the filter, valves and pressure gauge in a jumbo box. 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. 2.WATER QUALITY Determine the quality of the water entering the system. Is it secondary treated or primary treated? If using primary treated effluent,please refer to Geoflow's article for direct septic found at www.geoflow.com or call 800-828-3388 for a copy. Be aware of water conditions intrinsic to the area. If iron or iron bacteria is prevalent, please be sure to eliminate it upstream of the drip system with ozone, ultraviolet or chemical treatment. Iron can be recognized as orange stain on plumbing fixtures and may be treated prior to entering the facility. 3.SOIL APPLICATION DESIGN Note:This section based on Subsurface Trickle Irrigation System for On-Site Wastewater Disposal And Reuse by B. L. Carlile 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.

These loading rates assume a treated effluent with BOD and TSS values of less than 30 mg/1 is produced in the pre-treatment system and that any anomalies such as iron bacteria have been removed prior to dosing. NOTES 1)The above chart 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. 2) Problems with drip dispersal fields occur when soils are misinterpreted. If in doubt, choose the more restrictive soil type from the table above. 3) "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. 4)Table I above, with only minor modifications over the years, has served us well since 1990 with tens of thousands of systems operating successfully based upon this data. However, thanks to work by Jerry Tyler and his associates at the University of Wisconsin-Madison soil structure has become better understood and can now be used as a comprehensive tool to determine optimal hydraulic loading rates. 8 Geoflow Design and Installation Manual Maximum Monthly Average BODS>30mg/L<220mg/L BOD5<30mg/L Soil Textures Soil Structure TSS>30 mg/L<150 tng/L TSS<30mg/L (g al li ms/ft 2/d ay) 1 ga l lon sfft2/day l Course sand or coarser N/A 0.4 1.6 Loamy coarse sand N/A 0.3 1,4 Sand N/A 0.3 1.2 Loamy sand Weak to strong 0.3 1.2 Loamy sand Massive 0.2 0.7 Fine sand Moderate to strong 0.3 0.9 Fine sand Massive or weak 0.2 0.6 Loamy fine sand Moderate to strong 0.3 0.9 Loamy fine sand Massive or weak 0.2 0.6 Very fine sand N/A 0.2 0.6 Loamy very fine sand N/A 0.2 0.6 Sandy loam Moderate to strong 0.2 0.9 Sandy loam Weak,weak platy 0.2 0.6 Sandy loam Massive 0.1 0.5 Loam Moderate to strong 0.2 0.8 Loam Weak,weak platy 0.2 0.6 Loam Massive 0.1 0.5 Silt loam Moderate to strong 0.2 0.8 Silt loam Weak,weak platy 0.1 0.3 Silt loam Massive 0.0 0.2 Sandy clay loam Moderate to strong 0.2 0.6 Sandy clay loam Weak,weak platy 0.1 0.3 Sandy clay loam Massive 0.0 0.0 Clay loam Moderate to strong 0.2 0.6 Clay loam Weak,weak platy 0.1 0.3 Clay loam Massive 0.0 0.0 Silty clay loam Moderate to strong 0.2 0.6 Silty clay loam Weak,weak platy 0.1 0.3 Silty clay loam Massive 0.0 0.0 Sandy clay Moderate to strong 0.1 0.3 Sandy clay Massive to weak 0.0 0.0 Clay Moderate to strong 0.1 0.3 Clay Massive to weak 0.0 0.0 Silty clay Moderate to strong 0.1 0.3 Silty clay Massive to weak 0.0 0.0 TABLE 2 DRIP LOADING RATES CONSIDERING SOIL STRUCTURE. Table 2 (above) is taken from the latest State of Wisconsin code and reflects Jerry Tylers work. January 2004 v. II 9 4. 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 m2)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 water.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 organic material removed or it must be incorporated into the natural soil to prevent an organic layer from forming and restricting downward water movement. 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. 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%. 7. HIGH POINTS,SIPHONING AND SLOPES A potential problem with buried drip lines is siphoning dirt into the emitters when the pump is switched off. For this reason: a. Drip lines should have a fairly constant slope. Run dripline along a contour. b.At least one vacuum breaker should be installed at the highest point in each zone. c.Avoid installing lines along rolling hills where you have high and low points along the same line. If this is the case,connect all the high points together and install a vacuum breaker on the connecting line. (See Geoflow detail 602). d. Drip lines should be connected at the end to a common return line with a flush valve. 10 Geoflow Design and Installation Manual 8. EXCESSIVE ELEVATION DIFFERENCES WASTEFLOW Classic 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 WASTEFLOW PC can tolerate very large height variations provided the pressure remains within the 7 to 60 psi range, and preferably within 10 to 45 psi. At the end of each dosing cycle, water in the dripline will flow down to the bottom lines within the drip zone.This is called "lowhead drainage". On a slope site Geoflow recommends installing short manifolds with fewer lines and longer dripline runs. If unsure, a maximum of 1500 ft of Geoflow dripline within each zone or sub-zone can be used as a rule of thumb. Do not exceed 5 lines in a single zone or sub-zone with a slope greater than 10%. Be sure to open valves fully so manifolds drain rapidly.

In the case of compound slopes consult a professional irrigation designer or engineer. 14. MULTIPLE ZONES Drip dispersal fields can be divided into multiple zones or subzones with solenoid valves or index valves for the following reasons: a. Steep slopes with a risk of lowhead drainage can be subdivided to distribute the water at system shut-down more uniformly in the field. b. Smaller zones reduce the required flow per minute which consequently reduces the size of the pumps, valves,filters, supply and return lines. c. Subdividing the field is a tool used to achieve the optimum ranges required to efficiently operate the Vortex filters. d. If the dispersal field is located in multiple areas on the property. e.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. January 2004 v. II 11 11. 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/ft2/day. By over-seeding lawns with winter ryegrass, this use efficiency can be continued through much of the 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. 12. 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 gph))/((Emitter spacing inches)x (dripline spacing inches)) Example: Dripline with 1.3 gph flow rate emitters spaced 24"apart and dripline spaced 24"apart. Water application = (231x1.3)/(24x24) = 0.52 inches of water per hour. I?

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES All Geoflow drip systems require: 100 micron/ 150 mesh filter Filter flush valve Field flush valve and Air vent in each zone All Wasteflow Classic drip systems require pressure regulation Handle your dripline and components with care. ROOTGUARD® is temperature sensitive.To assure a long life store the drip line out of direct sunlight in a cool place.This should be a consideration when installing the system in very hot and sunny areas.Your system life span will be increased if it is buried an extra two or three inches below the soil surface, to avoid the warm temperature extremes. a) All dripfield construction shall be done in accordance with Local rules and regulations. b) No utilities, cable wire, drain tile, etc shall be located in dripfield. c) Fence off entire dripfield prior to any construction. d) System is not to be installed when ground is wet or frozen. e) Divert all downspouts and surface waters away from dripfield or into curtain drains. f) Excavation, filling and grading should have been finished before installation of the subsurface drip system. g) 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 or Lockslip adapters should be glued to PVC tees, riser units should be pre-assembled, the sub- main manifold with tees can be pre-assembled and used to mark the beginning and end of WASTEFLOW lines. h) For particularly tough soil conditions moisten the soil 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 should 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. i) 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. j) Install a watertight dosing tank. In freezing conditions the dosing tank should be at the lowest elevation of the entire system. Install a watertight riser on the dosing tank if necessary. k) Determine the proper size for the supply and return manifolds. See Worksheet line (L). I) 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. m) Paint a line between the two remaining corner stakes. 16 Geoflow Design and Installation Manual n) Install the Geoflow WASTEFLOW 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. 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) 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. Installing Lockslip fittings a) Hold the fitting in one hand and position the tubing with the other hand. b) Move the sleeve back, and push the tubing onto the exposed stem as far as possible. c) 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. p) Install the Vortex filter and filter flush valve, or install the pre-assembled Headworks between the field and the pump tank on the supply line. *Insulate the box in freezing conditions. q) If using a pressure regulator, install it downstream of the filter or 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. r) Install the floats in the dosing tank and wire up to the timer control.The timer control should he set to pump no more than the design flow,do not set to match the treatment capacity. s) 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. t) 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 or septic tank. u) Install the return header and connect all of the Geoflow lines. Care must be taken not to kink the dripline. v) Install air vacuum breakers at the highest points in the dispersal field. Use pipe dope or Teflon tape and hand tighten. w) 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. 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 x) Turn on the pump and check the pressure at the air vacuum breaker(s). It should be between 15 to 45 PSI. Check the pressure in the WASTEFLOW Headworks if used. It should be five psi or higher. 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. y) Check the filter for construction debris and clean. z) Provide owner with final as-built diagrams, flow measurements and pressure readings at startup. January 2004 v. 11 17 Valve Installation and Operation a) 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. b) Using watertight connectors, connect the valve common and an individual output wire to the solenoid leads. c) 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. d) Close the internal manual bleed after flushing the system. 1 8 Geoflow Design and Installation Manual TABLE 3.

It drains through the emitters so will not be full of water after pumps are turned off. Please follow these precautions: a) Manifolds, supply lines and return lines must be sloped back to their respective dosing or treatment tanks. These lines need to drain rapidly. Under extreme conditions return and supply manifolds must be insulated or buried below frost-line. Be sure drain valve on flush line remains open long enough for entire field to drain. b) Remove the check valve at the pump. c) 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. d) In severe freezing conditions, use heat tape or small heater in the Headworks box. d) The top of air vacuum relief valves must be no higher than soil surface. e) If using an index valve to split field zones, be sure it is capable of self-draining. f) 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. g) Mark the valve box with a metal pin so you can find it in the winter when covered in snow. h) 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. i) 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. January 2004 v. 11 21 SYSTEM MAINTENANCE: The best way to assure years of trouble free life from your system is to continuously monitor the system and to perform regular maintenance functions. For large systems or systems with a BOD> 30 mg/1 automation of maintenance is essential.For smaller systems with a BOD < 30 mg/1 inspection and maintenance should be performed every six months. ROUTINE AND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE 1) Remove the spin filter and install a clean cartridge. Clean the used filter cartridge back at the shop with a pressure hose.The filter cartridge should be cleaned from the outside inwards. 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. 2) 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 horizontal position and the dial on top should be free spinning. Clockwise rotation closes valve 3) With the pump in the"manual"position, check the pressure in the drip field by using a pressure gauge on the schraeder 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. 4) 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. 5) Turn off the pump and reset the controller for auto mode. 6) Periodically remove and clean the air vents,field flush and filter flush valves. 7) Visually check and report the condition of the drip field, including any noticeable wetness. 8) Treatment and distribution tanks are to be inspected routinely and maintained when necessary in accordance with their approvals. 9) Record the elapsed time meter, pump counter,override counter,high-level alarm and power failures.This information can be obtained from the controller. 22 Geoflow Design and Installation Manual HOME OWNERS GUIDE FOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF GEOFLOW DRIP DISPERSAL FIELD 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 l/2"diameter drip tubing installed at a shallow depth of 8-10"below the ground surface. It is designed to effectively disperse of 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: ❑ Establish landscaping (preferably a grass cover) immediately. This will stabilize the soil and allow for the vegetation to take up the water. ❑ 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. ❑ Maintain all plumbing fixtures to prevent excess water from entering the dispersal system. ❑ 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 mal-function. Lawn mowers, rubber wheeled garden tractors and light equipment can be driven over the drip field. ❑ Do not drive tent stakes, golf putting holes, croquet hoops etc., into the dispersal field • 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. ❑ 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. 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 driplines following the system's installation.This should cease once the ground has settled and a grass cover is established January 2004 v. II 23 TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE: Symptom: High water alarm activates periodically (1-2 times/week). 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. 24 Geoflow Design and Installation Manual Symptom: A portion of the drip field closest to the feed manifold is saturated while the rest of the field is dry. 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 required. 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 in 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. January 2004 v. II 25 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. 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. 26 Geoflow Design and Installation Manual APPENDIX Appendix 1 Page 28 . . . . Wasteflow Dripline Page 29 . . . .

During high flow conditions the pump dosing cycles will be controlled by the Peak Timer(float 3 - activated). The Peak Timer off is typically set to trigger more frequent flow than the Primary Timer off setting. If duplex pump option is chosen, the pumps are alternated every pump cycle and never operate �± simultaneously.There is a selection switch for pump I, pump 2 or alternation.This allows one pump v� to be taken out of service for maintenance without affecting the operation of the system. E Pump dosing cycles are controlled by the timers when the H-O-A switch is in the auto position. Under normal conditions the Primary Timer(float 2) will control the pump(s). During high flow conditions,the Peak Timer(float 3) will control the pump(s).The Peak Timer will cycle the pump more frequently than the Primary Timer(field adjustable).The pump will dose for the same amount of time as it does when operated by the Primary Timer but the time in between doses, or the Peak timer"off time", will be 75% of that of the Primary Timer"off time". Factory settings (field 0 adjustable) are 1 hr 55 minutes off and 5 minutes on for Primary Timer and Peak Timer is set to 1 hr 25 minutes off(I hr 55 mins x 75%) and 5 minutes on. Consequently peak doses are more frequent than normal. Hydraulically activated zone valve(s)will index each time the PLC calls for a dose. Each time the pump is called for another zone is dosed.The controller does not dose all zones sequentially as R "one"dose and ignores the fact that there are multiple zones for the purpose of dosing. For example O if the Primary Timer is programmed to be off for 1 hour, on for 5 minutes and there are four zones, each zone will get 6 doses - five minutes in length - in a 24-hour period.The controller will dose a single zone every hour and will not dose all zones every hour. GEO AUTOMATIC CONTROLLERS E The Primary Timer (float 2 activated)controls the pump dose cycle during normal operating conditions. During high flow conditions the pump dosing cycles will be controlled by the Peak Timer(float 3 activated). S If duplex pump option is chosen, the pumps are alternated every pump cycle and never operate simultaneously.There is a selection switch for pump 1, pump 2 or alternation. This allows one pump to be taken out of service for maintenance without affecting the operation of the system. The Vortex Filter flush valve will open for 15 seconds (field adjustable) at the end of the pump cycle to allow the filter to self-flush. When the vortex filter flush is complete, the filter flush valve will close and the system drain function will begin. Pump dosing cycles are controlled by the timers when the H-O-A switch is in the auto position. Under normal conditions the Primary Timer (float 2) will control the pump. During high flow conditions, the Peak Timer(float 3) will control the pump.The Peak Timer will cycle the pump more frequently than the Primary Timer . The pump will dose for the same amount of time as it does when operated by the Primary Timer but the time in between doses, or the Peak Timer"off time", will be 75% that of the Primary Timer"off time". Factory settings (field adjustable) are 1 hr 55 minutes off and 5 minutes on for Primary Timer and Peak Timer is set to 1 hr 25 minutes off(1 hr 55 mins x 75%) and 5 minutes on. Zone valve(s) will open when the PLC calls for a dose or flush. These can be electrically operated solenoid valves (requires GEO4 or GEO8) or hydraulically activated index valves (used with GEO1). Each time the pump is called for another zone is dosed.The controller does not dose all zones sequentially as "one" dose but rather ignores the fact that there are multiple zones for the purpose of dosing. The total doses of all zones in a 24-hour period must be considered when setting the"off" timer(s). After the pump is deactivated the electrically activated solenoid flush valve will remain open for five minutes (field adjustable) to allow for drainage of the supply line and return line. If hydraulically activated index valve is used, be sure to drain the supply line in freezing climates. January 2004 v. II 37 If hydraulically activated index valves are used in combination with a solenoid field flush valve, a field setting for number of zones and number of zone valves is available. Field flush valve will open at the end of the dosing cycle. The pump will continue to run for 5 seconds (field adjustable) to accommodate the opening of this valve. After the pump is deactivated the field flush valve will remain open for five minutes (field adjustable)to allow for drainage of the return line in freezing conditions. It is best to clock the length of time it takes the return flush line G to drain and use this to set your drain time. The activated zone valve remains open at the end of the dose for same"#" minutes as return flush Eand filter flush valves to accommodate drainage of supply line. To periodically flush the dripfield, after 10 dosing cycles(field adjustable) the pump will operate for 0 5 minutes (field adjustable) with the field flush valve open.The field flush cycle will repeat until all zones have been flushed. This operation will also occur after a power outage. This is achieved by correctly inputting number of zone valves (if applicable) and number of zones during setting of the controller values.
