7 AMERICAN AUTOMATED CONTROLS "S" Series Simplex Demand Dose Typical Model Number: SAB124-AFJL. Simplex (S) control with alarm (A), breakers (B), 1ph (1), 115 or 230 volt (2), NEMA 4X enclosure (4), auto-reset alarm (A), flashing light (F), upgraded contactor (J), locking hasp (L) (locking hasp standard with NEMA 4X enclosures). The pump control panel shall be equipped with three float switches to control, by volume, each dose to be discharged. The dosing volume is adjustable by increasing or decreasing the distance between the "Pump Off" (Bottom) and "Pump On" (Middle) floats. When the water level rises high enough to overcome the "Pump On" float, the pump will activate and continue to run until the water level drops below the "Pump Off" float. If the water level continues to rise and reaches the "High Level"(Top) float, the audio/visual alarms will activate until the silence switch is depressed, at which time the audible alarm shall be silenced. The visual alarm shall remain lit until the water level drops below the "High Level" float, at which time the alarm circuit will automatically reset

8 AMERICAN AUTOMATED CONTROLS "D" Series Duplex Demand Dose Typical Model Number: DAB124-AFJL. Duplex (D) control with alarm (A), breakers (B), 1ph (1), 115 or 230 volt (2), NEMA 4X enclosure (4), auto-reset alarm (A), flashing light (F), upgraded contactor (J), locking hasp (L) (Locking hasp standard with NEMA 4X enclosures). THREE FLOAT OPERATION The pump control panel shall be equipped with three float switches to control, by volume, each dose to be discharged. The dosing volume is adjustable by increasing or decreasing the distance between the "Pumps Off" (Bottom) and "Pump On" (Second) floats. When the water level rises high enough to overcome the "Pump On" float, the lead pump will activate and continue to run until the water level drops below the "Pumps Off" float. The control will then alternate the lead pump. If the water level continues to rise and reaches the "Lag Pump/Alarm" (Third) float, the lag pump and alarm will activate and both pumps will continue to run until the water level drops below the "Pumps Off" float. The audio/visual alarm will be continue to be activated latched in until the alarm silence switch is pressed, at which time the audio alarm will be silenced. The visual alarm will remain lit until the liquid level drops below the "Lag/Alarm" float. Refer to depiction above for 4 float configuration. SIMPLEX OPERATION In the event a pump is not operable, the pump shall be taken out of service by turning that pump s H-O-A (Hand-Off-Auto) switch to the Off position. This shall signal the control to operate as a simplex pump control enabling the high level alarm to operate as normal

9 AMERICAN AUTOMATED CONTROLS "SEQ/DEQ" Series Simplex & Duplex Equalization Typical Control Model Number: SEQAB124-ACEFJL. Simplex (S) equalization (EQ) control with alarm (A), breakers (B), 1ph (1), 115 or 230 volt (2), NEMA 4X enclosure (4), auto-reset alarm (A), cycle counter (C), elapsed time meter (E), flashing light (F), upgraded contactor (J), locking hasp (L) (locking hasp standard with NEMA 4X enclosures). The pump control panel shall be equipped with two float switches to control the timed doses to be discharged. When the water level rises high enough to overcome the "Timer Enable" (first) float the repeat cycle timer will begin timing the "off" period. When the "off" period has timed out, the pump will activate and the timer will begin timing the "on" period. The pump shall continue to run for the length of time as programmed on the "on" period. When the timer has finished timing out the "on" period, the pump will shut off and the timer will begin timing out the "off" period again. This cycle will repeat itself until the water level drops below the "Timer Float". If the water level continues to rise enough to overcome the "High Level" (second) float, the audio/visual alarm shall activate until silenced by pressing the silence switch. The alarm circuit shall automatically reset when the "High Level" float returns to its normal position. Featuring excess water use alarming! 1-3

10 AMERICAN AUTOMATED CONTROLS "SEPR/DEPR" Series Simplex & Duplex Equalization w/ PLC Typical Model Number: SEPRAB124-AJLR PLC FEATURES *Cycle Counters *Elapsed Time Meters *Float Status Monitoring *Programmable Timers Simplex (S) equalization by programmable relay (EPR) control with alarm (A), breakers (B), 1ph (1) 115 or 230 volt (2), NEMA 4X enclosure (4), auto-reset alarm (A), upgraded contactor (J), and locking hasp (L) (locking hasp standard with NEMA 4X enclosures), redundant off float switch (R). The water level must be high enough to overcome the "Redundant Off" (bottom) float in order for the pump to be permitted to run. When the water level rises high enough to overcome the "Dose Enable" (second) float and the rest timer has timed out, the pump will activate and the dose will begin. The pump will continue to run for the length of time as adjusted on the pump run timer and then shut off. The pump will remain off until the internal rest timer again times out, after which the pump will again activate (as long as the "Dose Enable" float is still up) and will run until the pump run timer finishes timing out. This process will repeat until the water level drops below the "Dose Enable" float and the pump run timer has timed out or water drops below the Redundant Off float, which will stop the pump immediately to prevent damage. The control system shall be equipped with a "Peak Enable" function to manage peak flows and excess water use. If the rising water level activates the "Peak Enable" (third) float and the peak rest time has timed out, the control will dose. When the peak function is deactivated, the normal pumping cycle will resume. The peak function comes standard with user selectable peak and alarm mode. If the water level rises enough to overcome the "High Level" (fourth) float, the audiovisual alarm will activate. The audio portion of the alarm may be silenced by pressing the Test- Normal-Silence switch. The alarm circuit will be reset when the "High Level" float returns to its normal (down) position and the Reset/Cycle Start button has been pressed

11 AMERICAN AUTOMATED CONTROLS "SET/DET" Series Simplex & Duplex Equalization Time-of-Day Typical Model Number: SETAB124-ACFJLRX(9). Simplex (S) equalization Time-of-Day (ET) control with alarm (A), breakers (B), 1ph (1) or 230 volt (2), NEMA 4X enclosure (4), auto-reset alarm (A), cycle counter (C), flashing light (F), upgraded contactor (J), locking hasp (L) (locking hasp standard with NEMA 4X encl.), redundant off (R), 24-hour clock timer (X9). The pump control panel shall be equipped with either a 24-hour Time-of-Day or 7-day 24- hour clock and four float switches to control the timed doses to be discharged. The water level must be high enough to overcome the "Redundant Off" (Bottom) float in order for the pump to be permitted to run. When the water level rises high enough to overcome the "Dose Enable" (second) float and the time clock is in a pump enable mode, the pump will activate. The pump shall continue to run for the length of time as programmed on the pump run timer, and shall then shut off. The pump shall remain off until the time clock enters a new pump enable mode, at which time the pump shall activate (as long as the "Dose Enable" float is still up) and will run until the pump run timer finishes timing out. This process shall continue until the water level drops below the "Dose Enable" float and the pump run timer has timed out or the Time-of-Day clock has passed the dosing window. The control system shall be equipped with a timer override circuit to manage peak flows and excess water use. If the water level continues to rise enough to overcome the "Timer Override" (third) float and the override selector switch is on, the pump shall be activated, regardless of the time clock position. The pump will continue to run until deactivated by the override circuit, at which time the pump will shut off and the normal pumping cycle shall resume. If the water level continues to rise enough to overcome the "High Level" (fourth) float, the audio/visual alarm shall activate until silenced by pressing the Test-Normal-Silence switch to the silence position. The alarm circuit shall automatically reset when the "High Level" float returns to its normal position

12 AMERICAN AUTOMATED CONTROLS "HAC" Series Hydro-Pneumatic Automatic Control * PANEL COMES W/ ALL NECESSARY GUAGES & SWITCHES Typical Control Model Number: HAC2-A5-B1-2-J1 Hydro-pneumatic (H) automatic control (AC), two pump (2) - low suction cut-out alarm (A5) - breakers (B) for 1ph, 230 volt, 2 HP pump (1) - NEMA 12 enclosure (2) - upgraded 18 FLA contactor (J1). The pump control panel is equipped with pressure switches and liquid level relays to automatically control the air-water ratio contained within the hydro-pneumatic tank. The water level in the hydro tank will normally range between the Pump Off high-level electrode and the Pump On low-level electrode attached to the hydro tank. In the event the pressure drops below the Pump On water pressure and the Pump Off high-level electrode is indicating a full water tank, the air compressor will activate to restore the proper air-water ratio in the tank. The compressor will remain on until the Pump Off pressure is reached or the Pump Off electrode is uncovered at which time the air compressor will stop and the lead pump will start and fill the tank while continuing to restore the proper air-water ratio. The control panel is typically equipped with a Low Suction Pressure alarm. If the Low Suction Pressure set-point is reached, the pressure booster pump(s) will cut out and an audio/visual alarm will activate. The control may be specified with a high pressure alarm or other safety factor protocols

13 AMERICAN AUTOMATED CONTROLS "PAC" Series Pre-Charged Automatic Control * PANEL COMES W/ ALL NECESSARY GUAGES & SWITCHES Typical Control Model Number: PAC2-A5-B1-2-J1X(21) Pre-Charged (P) automatic control (AC), two pump (2) - low suction cut-out alarm (A5) - breakers (B) for 1ph, 230 volt, 2 HP pump (1) - NEMA 12 enclosure (2) - upgraded 18 FLA contactor (J1), extra option dry alarm contacts for remote indicator (X21). Water shall be pumped from two booster pumps to pressurize the distribution network and to be controlled by a PAC series control panel. The pressure switch tube is connected to the distribution network piping at the pre charged pressure tank location and senses the water pressure. When the water pressure drops below the Pump On water pressure, the lead booster pump will be activated. When the High Pressure is achieved the pump will turn off and the lead pump will alternate. In the event a low suction pressure is sensed (and indication than the system may be running out of water) the alarm shall sound. The alarm may be silenced by turning the Test-Off-Normal switch to the off position. In the event the operator desires to select one of the pumps to always be the lead pump, the operator shall place the Alternator Override switch in the position pointing to the selected pump

14 AMERICAN AUTOMATED CONTROLS "LAC" Series Level Automatic Control Typical Control Model Number: LAC2(E)- -B1-2-J1XZ Level (L) automatic control (AC), two pump (2), electrode sensor (E) - no alarm ( ) - breakers (B) for 1ph, 230 volt, 2 HP pump (1) - NEMA 12 enclosure (2) - upgraded 18 FLA contactor (J1), extra option remote start (X), oil-tight switches (Z). Water shall be pumped from two well locations to fill the storage tank and to be controlled by a LAC series control panel. The ground reference electrode must be in the water. Under normal operating conditions with a full tank, all three electrodes will be in the water. As the water drops below the Pump Off elevation nothing will happen. When the water level drops below the Pump On elevation, the lead pump will activate and continue to operate unit the Pump Off electrode is again in the water. The lead pump will then deactivate and lead pump will alternate

15 AMERICAN AUTOMATED CONTROLS WEB-BASED TELEMETRY REPORTING SERVICE (TRS) DIALER FEATURES *Connect to any extension *Does not call on busy line *Actively reports monthly PRODUCT OVERVIEW: The American Onsite Telemetry Reporting Service (TRS) is a cost-effective means of receiving and responding to alarm conditions remotely through a web-based delivery system. The TRS option can be utilized with any control panel. Standard onsite control panels are specified with high level only, but any panel can be customized to suit the specific needs of any site requiring up to 8 independent alarm conditions. A 30-day status check is also a standard function of the unit to inform the user the unit is still operational in the absence of alarm conditions. Each panel ordered with the TRS feature comes with the auto-dialer unit preinstalled. Retrofits can be ordered for the field by means of an additional jockey panel, which ties into the existing, or if space and constraints permit, installed in the original application. Standard features are as follows: 8 dry-contact input channels Quick disconnect plugs for easy wiring as a field retrofit No local programming - just complete and return the supplied ID request form to American Manufacturing, and the unit is initialized from the Tracking server LED display for power, phone and each input channel Integral mounting feet for easy installation UL listed power supply is included with unit Alarm notification via text-messaging and/or Alarm events become historical data Connects to any standard phone line (land based phone line) Only connects to the line when it needs to call Automatically retries if the call is unsuccessful or the line is in use All Clear signal is sent when on site alarm condition clears Will send an automated status check every 30 days after the last alarm condition to verify the unit is still functioning 1-9

16 HOW TRS WORKS The auto-dialer connects to a standard phone line and has the ability to monitor up to 8 critical conditions, such as Pump Fail, Low Water Alarm, or High Level Alarm. When an Alarm condition or an All Clear condition is received, the unit contacts the American Manufacturing Tracking server via a toll-free exchange and transmits the specified data. Standard control panels are normally specified with the high-level alarm notification and reset functions. Monthly status reporting is a standard feature to acknowledge the system is still on line. However, any site specification can be modified to announce up the eight conditions or alarms. Each unit that leaves the factory comes with an I.D. request form. Once the end-user completes and returns the form to AMC, the TRS Tracking server will be loaded with the site-specific information, linking the TRS server to the auto-dialer. An automated will be sent to the end-user when the unit has been loaded. Once the TRS equipped control panel is installed, the auto-dialer will remain inactive until an Alarm condition activates. When an alarm state trips the appropriate input, the unit will come on-line and check whether the phone is available. If the line is not available, the unit will wait a few minutes and initiate another attempt. The unit will continue to try until the line becomes available. The unit will proceed to dial the AMC TRS tracking server, input the site I.D. along with the alarm condition, and wait to receive a signal from the server to acknowledge all information has transferred properly. If the auto-dialer does not receive this signal within a few seconds of transmission, it will disconnect, and try again in a few minutes. This form of handshaking helps to ensure a critical alarm does not go by unanswered. Once the data is transferred to the TRS tracking server, and the auto-dialer receives the acknowledgement that all data has been recorded, the dialer disconnects, and the TRS server then processes the data. The address(s)/text message number(s) supplied from the completed I.D. form, will then be sent the site information and alarm event. The alarm will be also displayed on the web-based portion of the server. Once the alarm condition subsides, the auto-dialer will contact the TRS tracking server and transmit an all-clear status. The same protocol as described before takes place to make sure the data is transmitted properly. Once the on site alarm is cleared, the user can log in to the web-based portion of the TRS server and clear any open/outstanding alarm conditions. At any time, the user can log into the TRS tracking server via any web-based browser, and get alarm information pertinent to any site that has utilized/ is utilizing a TRS enabled auto-dialer. This can be very useful for trending problematic sites, and generating reports. ALARM NOTIFICATION Each site/remote location will have it s own I.D. and can be uniquely programmed with various alarming conditions which will be transmitted to the end user via and/or text-messages. Users have the ability to log in to the TRS system via the Internet through any web-browser with a secure username and password. Once logged in, users can view present/past alarm data and establish trends accordingly. This service is provided to subscribers for a nominal annual service fee. This fee grants access to unlimited usage of web-based browsing of alarm conditions, unlimited callouts from the auto-dialer for Alarm or All Clear conditions for the duration of the service agreement, and up to 2 addresses for alarm notifications.

17 OVERVIEW: AMERICAN AUTOMATED CONTROLS TEMPERATURE MONITORING Any water barring equipment in northern climates with heating or cooling criteria can be at risk. American Manufacturing now offers temperature monitoring and alarm control to reduce the chances of failure due to inclement weather. Two versions are being offered, the TCA (Temperature Control with Alarm) and the TAS (Temperature Alarm Switch). THE TCA American Manufacturing s TCA model combines dual set points for temperature control and alarming capabilities with the use of a temperature probe and a heating element without a thermostat. The two user-defined set points allow customizable control in the most diverse weather conditions. The first set point controls the heating element On-Off temperatures for precise regulation. The second user-defined set point allows for an audible visual alarm onsite, or remote alarm through an auto-dialer or American s TRS System in the event the temperature falls below the safe limit (close to freezing). The TCA unit comes equipped with an internal buzzer to differentiate from other onsite alarm conditions. In the event the temperature probe fails or becomes disconnected, a failure code will be displayed, and an audible alarm is emitted from the unit. THE TAS American Manufacturing s TAS model combines the use of a temperature probe and a heating element requiring a built in thermostat. Unlike the TCA, the TAS has only one set point for alarming capabilities, and no built in auxiliary alarm. The Alarm functionality can be utilized onsite to engage the standard panel alarm, or remotely via an autodialer or American s TRS System. In the event the temperature probe fails or becomes disconnected, a failure code will be displayed, and an audible alarm is emitted from the unit. FEATURES Easy to read Digital display User-defined set-points(s) for alarming conditions User-defined set-point(s) for full temperature control (TCA only) Reduces risk of freezing Distinct audible alarm (TCA only) Alarm notification onsite or remote Exposes failed/failing heating elements before catastrophe occurs Temperature Probe Failure alarm standard Works in conjunction with American s TRS System

19 AMERICAN AUTOMATED CONTROLS, INC. INTRODUCTION FLOAT SWITCHES There are several types of float switches and different applications for these switches. Some switches may be used for several applications while others are only for specific duty. Float switches may be used for pilot duty, to operate control devices such as relays and contactors thereby never seeing a significant electrical load, or direct duty when they carry a full motor load. Float switches are manufactured to handle from light to heavy electrical current in a normally open or normally closed application. Some are narrow angle while others are wide angle. The higher amp wide angle float switches are called motor rated, differential, or sometimes piggyback switches when they are manufactured with a special plug on the end. NARROW ANGLE PILOT DUTY FLOAT SWITCHES The narrow angle pilot duty switch has been made from an encapsulated mercury switch enclosed in a plastic float. The non-corrosive float may be either solid or hollow and it keeps the switch inside positioned to make contact when the float either floats up (normally open) or hangs down (normally closed). This type of float will typically have an amperage rating of 1 to 2 amps. The typical load on this type of switch will be less than half of that, which allows the float to last longer. In the event that a larger control panel with considerable built-in logic is serviced by the switch, a heavier switch (frequently around 7 amps) may be used. In all cases, these switches should be protected in the control circuit with a properly rated fuse or breaker. WIDE ANGLE PILOT DUTY FLOAT SWITCHES The wide angle pilot duty float switch is a low rated differential switch constructed much the same way as the narrow angle but with a differential mechanism inside. This requires the float to rotate a specific distance before actuating. The travel distance is around four inches minimum. For pilot duty applications, this may decrease the control cost by reducing the number of relays required in the control, as well as the number of floats. The limiting factor is the accuracy of the vertical differential. With a four-inch tether for differential control, a reasonable repeatability can be approached. Designers trying to increase the differential by increasing the tether length will increasingly sacrifice repeatability with increasing tether length. If the system under design is sensitive to dose volumes it becomes almost impossible to control them with a single differential float switch. WIDE ANGLE MOTOR CONTROL SWITCH Whenever using a single float switch for pump control it must be a wide angle to provide sufficient run time for the pump and to prevent short cycling. If a narrow angle switch were used the motor would be turned on and off with the slightest wave action in the tank. The motor and/or float would fail prematurely. Wide angle motor control switches were first designed to provide a reliable and inexpensive on/off switch for sump pumps. The switches were manufactured as part of the pump and incorporated an adapter allowing the pump to be piggybacked to the float plug for power. The independent switches have become most popular because they can be replaced without removing the pump

20 Pumps usually last much longer than these types of switches. These switches when used with bigger pumps require special consideration in both design and installation. In some cases, the use of this type of switch is not suitable. The switch must be designed to carry the full load amperage of the pump. These switches open and close one wire and can pose potential safety risks in the event a pump is wired incorrectly. For systems with a Hand-Off- Auto (HOA) switch, the HOA switch must also be rated to carry the full load amperage of the pump. TWO FLOAT PILOT DUTY CONTROL Two float pilot duty control provides the safest and most accurate control method possible. Two floats are tethered with a 4 cord length. The drawdown between these two floats will always be the same to the best possible tolerance (typically 1/2 to 1 ). The floats are exposed to very low amperage for the control circuit. The pump is provided electricity only when a definite duty contactor connects all wires to the pump. The two floats can be set any distance apart without sacrificing the accurate control of the drawdown. For many systems this is critical. When sensing liquid level with two switches the addition of other components for better operational control, such as counters or elapsed time meters, is safer and less expensive. GENERAL FLOAT SWITCH INSTALLATION Float switches in general should be installed on a separate support from the pump. This support may be a non-corrosive rack using weighted float switches or a vertical float bar. In the event of a failure of the pump or control, the device still in operation does not need to be removed. This is of great benefit from a service point of view. The best option is to use a removable float bar so that the floats may be removed while maintaining their separation distance. This will allow checking of the drawdown as well as checking operation of the system without disconnecting the floats or changing the drawdown. Don t Abuse Your Wide Angle Switch! Sump pumps are designed to cycle on and off more frequently. With these smaller motors, the heat generated by startup is not excessive. The larger the motor, the more the designer would want to provide a minimum run time before it shuts off. For demand-dosed systems, this is done by increasing the drawdown volume in the wet well. If the required drawdown exceeds 4, then the single switch option becomes less favorable due to the increased chance of tether wandering. Installation of sump pumps have traditionally been indoors in basements. This has kept the electrical plug-in cord safe from the weather. Larger pumps and effluent pumps are typically out away from the house. This puts the plug-in connection either in the weather or in a more hazardous location, inside the pump pit. Corroded plugs have caused more alarm conditions than any other type of failures in this type of installation. Codes have gone to requiring not only alarms to indicate a system failure but also hard wiring of pumps, override switches, and other safety and system monitoring accessories. The hard wiring allows the pump to be wired into a definite duty contactor with connections free from corrosion and with a contactor that will break both legs when not in use. The override switch allows the operator to start and stop the pump without pulling on a wet electrical connection in use

Simplex and duplex panels are available that operate on a single or multi-zone configuration. Drip controls provide for flow equalization with peak flow management and are designed on a repeat cycle timer basis. When a float signal tells the control panel there is enough water to begin a dose, the timer cycles between a rest time (off time) and a run time (pump on time). Hand-Off-Auto (H-O-A) switches allow running of the pump in hand in the event the microprocessor becomes inoperable. The controller is flexible to use with either three or four floats. All American drip controls automatically control field flushing of the drip tubing and filters.

72 Why Drip Dispersal? Drip Dispersal is a land application system for dispersal of wastewater effluent in decentralized environments. Drip utilizes time dosed, low volume, equally distributed doses over an entire absorption area while at the same time providing final treatment and recycle back into the environment. Drip provides optimum conditions for groundwater recharge to the receiving environment. It is ideal for any size system: single family homes, schools, churches, state parks, communities, commercial sites, etc. Drip systems are aesthetically pleasing and are installed subsurface utilizing the out-of-site, out-of-mind theory. Drip fields lend themselves to passive recreation with year round natural irrigation. Time dosed systems provide for managing rest times between doses, peak flow notification, excess flow alarms and helps prevent soil saturation by maintaining an aerobic environment at the tubing interface. Drip is ideal for shallow installations, which maximizes the standoff to any site restrictions (i.e. rock, seasonal water table, etc.). Sloping sites and/or wooded sites are not a problem. Drip Dispersal is utilized in both warm and cold climates 365 days per year! Drip can reduce storage requirements and may offer a reduced area footprint compared to conventional systems. Drip is a reliable, proven and permanent option for your wastewater dispersal needs. Why Perc-Rite Drip? The original drip technology! The world-renowned Perc-Rite technology was the first drip dispersal system developed for use in wastewater applications. The Perc-Rite Drip System is a complete wastewater dispersal system utilizing pressure compensating drip tubing, automatic disc filtration, automatic periodic forward field flushing and efficient effluent pumps with totalizing flow meter and state-of-the-art controls plus design standards for long term sustainable onsite wastewater installations. The pressure compensating drip tubing allows for complete equal distribution of the effluent. Disc filtration provides the necessary protection for the drip emitters prior to the drip field. The disc filters automatically backwash at preset intervals. The Perc-Rite Drip System also automatically forward flushes the drip tubing ona periodic basis at the generally accepted engineering standard for minimum scouring velocity of 2.0 ft/sec. The Perc-Rite System sets the standard for excellence in drip technology! How much Pretreatment is required? Primary settling is all that is required for the Perc-Rite Drip technology. Drip dispersal is dependent on the soils and receiving environment, so specific site restrictions may dictate the quality and extent of any additional pretreatment that is required. Why American Manufacturing? With over 1 billion emitters installed in subsurface wastewater applications, Perc-Rite is the largest Drip System name in North America. With American s in-house control panel fabrication we offer a single source complete Perc- Rite Drip Dispersal System. We have over 100 years combined experience in the wastewater industry.

Procedures have been developed to size, layout and design a Perc-Rite Drip system using tables instead of performing extensive calculations. The tables have conditions which allow the designer considerable flexibility to layout systems in a variety of siting conditions without being required to do detailed engineering calculations to determine design suitability. When advanced system design is required, outside the limitations of this design procedure, the designer may reference the design manual located on our web site and complete a detailed calculation sheet to determine suitability. Reference The Perc-Rite Drip System is a unique fluid handling system for dispersal of effluent wastewater in soil systems. The system incorporates filtration, time and level controlled application and ultra low rate drip distribution. In conditions where aerobic dispersal, such as Low Pressure Distribution, of septic effluent is required or where land application with the use of conventional soil absorption fields are not acceptable, this system offers a unique method for subsurface distribution of the waste water effluent. State regulations require varying effluent treatment quality for onsite systems. Preconditioning Treatment requirements for Perc-Rite Drip Systems are minimum. The process will accommodate virtually any type of pretreatment process, aerobic, lagoon, or any type of approved treatment facility. The removal of large settleable solids in sewage is necessary for the successful operation of the system. Local soil and site conditions may require additional treatment for excessive organics, oil and grease or other contaminants. Page No. 1 Copyright 2006

76 There is virtually No Site Disturbance during installation of the field distribution lines. Typical vibratory plow installation causes very little soil disturbance. The effluent discharge volume from each emitter hole is very small. The system has little site impact even in established lawns or park areas. After installation there are no visible indications that the installation site is being used for disposal. The system is especially suited for landscaped or wooded areas near buildings, trailer parks, apartment complexes or residential subdivisions. TYPICAL LAYOUT AMERICAN Manufacturing Company, Inc.

77 SYSTEM COMPONENTS 1. The PERC-RITE DRIP SYSTEM CONTROLLER is a state of the art control panel, activated by level sensing devices (standard mechanical differential float switches) located in a dosing tank downstream from the pretreatment process or processes. When activated by the rising level of effluent in the dosing tank, the controller will enable the dose or dispersal. The system controller on a time clock basis will pump the effluent through the filter module and then to final drip dispersal. 2. FILTER MODULE - Disc filters, automatic control valves, solenoid activated diaphragm valves, and a flow meter are assembled in a enclosure (with optional heating) and provided with a labeled wire harness for easy connection to the control panel. 3. PUMP SYSTEM - The pump, Cool Guide and float switches for level indication are provided for installation into the pump tank. The pump is a 15 gpm turbine pump and will be suitable for most residential installations. Reference lift and distance table for pumping limits. 4. DRIPPER TUBING - The dripper tubing is pressure compensating dripperline for wastewater. The tubing delivers a nominal 0.65 gallons per hour (+/- 5% flow rate from 7 to 60 psi). The tubing functions as a turbulent flow emitter between 0 and 7 psi, ensuring that the nominal design flow is not exceeded at system start-up. The tubing is polyethylene with a 120 psi pressure rating. 5. TOP FEED MANIFOLD SYSTEM - The Top Feed Manifolds are located at the highest point in the drip zone and are provided with air release valves to prevent drain down of upper laterals in the zone to lower laterals in the zone, thus preventing saturation of the lower laterals after the pump shuts off. The system provides for the fastest possible pressurization of the zone and the most efficient method of providing drain down control. If the site is flat, Top Feed Manifolds may not be required. Patent No. 5,984,574B. 6. DRIP FIELD MATERIALS - All special drip fittings and equipment are supplied by American Manufacturing Company, Inc., including the tubing insert fittings, connectors, flex tube and non- schedule 40 PVC standard fittings. 7. STANDARD FIELD MATERIALS - All tanks, wire, standard pipe and fittings are provided by the contractor at the local site.

78 DESIGN PROCEDURES 1. DEMAND ANALYSIS - Local codes determine the amount of wastewater to design for. Many codes have a safety factor or peak flow factor in the prescribed design flow. Others are based on more of an average usage. In either event, the designer must determine what the peak (design) flow is. The Perc-Rite Drip System will disperse the average flow through out each day unless the Peak float is enabled, at which time the system will disperse effluent at an accelerated design daily flow rate. Record the number of bedrooms and the peak design flow on line 3 of the worksheet. 2. SITE AND SOILS EVALUATION - Soil and site evaluation is required according to state and local criteria (see page 7). The design loading rate shall be expressed as the area and the linear feet of tubing required. The delineated area for installation, effluent quality and the installation depth need to be determined. Long and narrow runs along contour are best. The professional judgement of the evaluator and designer should be used in applying the regulation to determine the wastewater application rate for any specific site. Record the determined soil type on line 2 and selected loading rate area on line 7 of the worksheet. 3. DELINEATE AREA - On a site plan or a site sketch, the designer should lay out the area of installation on contour. The width along contour should be determined and this distance will determine the necessary down slope distance in order to allocate sufficient total area. The distance down slope will dictate the number of runs which can be installed in the dispersal site. Make sure enough runs can be installed for the total wastewater capacity and the amount of tubing required. Site conditions determine the run separation. Runs can vary from 1 to 3 feet of separation but are more frequently from 1-1/2 to 2 feet on center. The total linear feet of tubing required is recorded on line SELECT ZONE DETAIL - Once the area and total tubing length is determined, enter the contour run length in worksheet line 4. A standard zone detail is selected based on the width across contour and the total tubing length. Make sure the needed number of runs can be installed in the delineated area (see Zone Detail Table). Record the selected zone detail on line 11. If there is not a zone detail with the exact run length, select a zone detail from the column with the next larger run length. Determine the minimum number of runs and record in line 10b. Select the zone detail with the same or more number of runs. For Example, let s say a zone detail using a 15 GPM Standard Zone Detail Table that has 85 runs needs 1800 LF at 2 OC. The minimum runs = 22 (1800 LF tubing / 85 contour RL = 21.17, rounded up to 22 runs). Since there is no system available for 22, scroll down to 24 and record in line 10b under Spec. (Specified) # runs. The zone detail is a Z243 and the installed spacing between runs will be 1.75 OC. The total linear feet is the number of runs for the selected zone detail times line 4. Record the total linear feet per zone provided on line 13. See the Zone Detail Table (either septic and secondary or secondary only). Also, see the Dosing & FF Flow Table. 5. LAYOUT SITE - On a site plan or site sketch show the route for the supply and return pipes. Show the distance the supply and return pipes travel. On a site plan or site sketch show the location of the tanks, filter module and the control panel. Determine the length of supply line run and record on line 5. Determine the lift to the field and record on line DETERMINE SUITABILITY - Reference the Lift and Distance Table (page 11 or 13) and show the maximum lift on line 12 (page 5). Using the pipe length to the farthest field (Supply/Return Line column) and the number of laterals, record the maximum static lift suitable for the 1 supply and return pipe on line 6. If the maximum lift on line 12 is greater than the lift recorded in line 6, check Yes in line 15 of the worksheet; otherwise, check No. Copyright 2006 Page No. 4

80 AREA DELINEATION A complete site evaluation includes a surface characterization of topographic features and horizontal setbacks, a subsurface (soil) evaluation, and the accurate delineation of the soil absorption area. This delineation is best performed by the site evaluator. The area should be marked and measured in the field to insure protection of the area and a representative final absorption area design. Tools required would include a measuring tape to dimension the site, stakes to delineate the area and a leveling device such as a builders level, lock level, or clinometer to determine contour. Care should be exercised to insure accuracy on sites with limited area and those that are topographically complex. It is important to minimize site skewing, account for topographic contour wrapping and verify available area. The header ditch(es) area should be as perpendicular to topographic contour as possible.

81 NATIONAL LOADING RATE CHART For AMERICAN Perc-Rite Drip Systems SOIL LOADING RATE TABLE This is based on a standard tubing spacing between runs of 2 feet on center. Therefore a typical area-loading rate would be a number that is one half the linear feet loading rate number. For example, for a 1.2 gallons/l.ft./day rate would be equivalent to 0.6 gallons/ft2/day. Spacing may be changed for specific site conditions. For example: a tubing-loading rate of 0.4 is an area load of 0.2. By placing the tubing 1 on center, the resulting area loading would be at 0.4, or 1/2 of the area. This can only be done with proper site and soil evaluation.

The characterization of a soil based receiver site involves a systematic evaluation by trained individuals. Conditions to consider consist of a variety of topographic and soil conditions such as landscape position, slope, soil depth, depth to water table, depth to restriction, soil consistence, clay mineralogy, compaction, density, and site geometry and uniformity. Drip disposal lends itself to shallow installation. Typical depths are from 6-18, with 8-10 preferred and installations infrequent. Separation to limitations should always be maximized while maintaining a consistent depth on contour in a permeable horizon. Refer to state and local regulatory requirements for appropriate site suitability guidance. Page No. 7 Copyright 2006

82 ZONE DETAIL NUMBERING SYSTEM Each zone is designated by a Z indicating it is a Zone Detail Designation followed by three groups of numbers, the first is the number of zones, the second is the number of laterals per zone, the third is the runs per lateral. Z = Zone # Zones # Laterals # Runs/Lat EXAMPLE 1 Z Z = Zone # Zones # Laterals # Runs/Lat This example shows a one zone detail with two laterals per zone and two runs per lateral. ZONE DETAIL SELECTION PROCEDURE Reference the site plan layout to determine the width across contour of the delineated area. From the site and soils evaluation determine the total amount of tubing required. The area divided by two is the total linear feet of tubing required. The total linear feet of tubing divided by the length across contour equals the minimum number of runs. The total number of linear feet of tubing and runs will typically be more than the minimum since the preferred layout for flushing the supply and return lines will typically result in more than the minimum tubing. Increasing the number of runs in order to install a standard zone configuration is encouraged. This provides an additional safety factor to the tubing interface loading rate. Use the following step by step procedure to select a zone detail. 1. Determine width across contour. 2. Determining number of runs that can be installed in area. 3. Select a standard zone detail from under the column for contour with which has enough tubing to satisfy total tubing requirements. 4. In the event more runs are needed to yield enough tubing for the site, the tubing may be placed closer than 2 on center. EXAMPLE 2 (Using 12gpm Semi Automatic Zone Detail Table on Page 12) This configure does not work for the ASD 15 Contour width = 100 Feet Tubing required = 700 Linear Feet From the table, the linear feet of tubing provided in 100 foot runs will be between 600 LF and 800 LF. Therefore select 8 runs for 800 LF. The zone detail could be; Z Z = Zone # Zones # Laterals # Runs/Lat Copyright 2006 Page No. 8

Clearing of vegetation to be performed with minimal site disturbance. Do not park equipment or store materials on drainfield area. 2. Set pretreatment and pump tanks. 3. Dig header ditch for field manifold. 4. Install dripper tubing. Horizontal spacing between dripper lines shall be as specified and installation depth shall be as specified. Install on contour. 5. Install loops (flex tubing) and construct field supply / return manifolds. All PVC pipe and fittings shall be PVC SCH 40 type 1 rated for pressure applications. All glued joints shall be cleaned and primed with purple (dyed) PVC primer prior to being glued. All cutting of PVC pipe, flexible PVC and/or dripper tubing shall be accomplished with pipe cutters. Sawing of PVC pipe, flexible PVC and/or dripper tubing shall be followed by cleaning all shavings or sawing shall not be allowed. All open PVC pipe, flexible PVC and/or dripper tubing in the work area shall have the ends covered with duct tape during construction to prevent construction debris from entering the pipe. Prior to gluing all glue joints shall be inspected for and cleared of construction debris. 6. Dig ditches for conveyance lines, pump supply line, and flush return line. Install. Connect supply / return lines with manifolds. 7. Place Central Unit and mount control panel. Connect conveyance, supply, and flush return lines to hydraulic unit. 8. Set switch tree in pump tank. 9. Install electrical (and phone line if applicable). Check power supply and power up unit. 10. Provide one day volume of clean water for startup. Prior to startup of the drip disposal system the air release valves shall be removed and each zone in the system shall be flushed as follows: a) using an appropriate length of flexible PVC pipe with a male fitting attached to the air release connection to direct the flushing away from the construction are, b) flush the zone with a volume of water (clean water to be provided by contractor) equal to 1.5 times the volume of the pipes from the central unit to the air release valve, c) repeat this procedure for each zone (the flushing of the system is accomplished by manual override of the control panel by the manufacturer or engineer.) Once completed replace and glue air relief valves. If existing septic tanks are to be used, they shall be pumped out by a commercial septic tank pumper, checked for leakage or other problems, and replaced if necessary. After the tank is emptied, the tank shall be rinsed, pumped, and refilled with clean water. Debris in septic tank shall be kept to a minimum since it could clog the disk filters during startup. (Disk filters are not backflushed during startup and any clogging could cause incorrect rate of flow readings for the controller.) 11. Pressure check all fittings and lines. Inspect field and loops. Find leaks and repair. 12. Check setup values against calculated values. Set run time for Central Unit. 13. Backfill once lines and fields are determined to have no leaks. Back filling is to be controlled to prevent the damaging of pipes or fittings. Once completed, drainfield area should be graded to shed surface water with additional clean soil as necessary. Establish fescue or other turf cover, cut long (6-8 ). 14. In cold weather climates, installer should follow all cold weather installation techniques. Refer to local standards.

88 RUN TIME TABLES: 15 GPM AUTOMATIC PERC-RITE DRIP SYSTEMS The run time tables are based on the gallons per day the system is designed for. The run time numbers are based on the average daily flow rate. Selecting the run time is the last design step that is performed. Based on the number of zones and the number of laterals per zone, the run time is selected based on the average gallons per day. For even distribution and minimizing draindown events, the run time is calculated to provide from 3 to 5 times the volume of drip tubing plus the top feed manifolds. Therefore, the number of doses per day per zone will vary in order to maintain optimum dispersal.

93 OPERATION AND MONITORING FOR PERC-RITE DRIP SYSTEM The PERC-RITE DRIP SYSTEM has been developed to automatically monitor operational functions. The system is designed to be easily fixed after it breaks, in other words periodic monitoring can confirm good operating conditions but there are no maintenance procedures necessary until a mechanical component needs repair. Furthermore, any malfunction or breakage of a mechanical component will result in a failure similar to any traditional system, including a wet spot in the field, a backup or a high level alarm. The MONITORING FREQUENCY should be no more than traditional systems. The most important component for the operational success is owner awareness. All onsite systems have a finite hydraulic capacity. Drip systems have no storage capacity in the soil system so storage or flow equalization must be provided in the pump tank. The owner must be aware system exists and their limitations for usage. After a successful installation and startup the system should be inspected from one to three months after the owner takes occupancy to confirm operational compliance and to inform the owner of the operational characteristics of the system. The system should then go on a schedule of annual inspections to monitor usage and inspect system for wear in order to minimize emergency service requirements. Each system is provided with an owners manual. The local dealer has a more detailed installation and maintenance supplement manual. If more than septic pretreatment is provided, more frequent monitoring may be required. Provide monitoring frequency at the rate determined by the most sensitive component. An OPERATIONAL CHECKLIST is provided in the dealer s supplement manual for determining satisfactory operation of the system. The following topics are covered; 1. Field Conditions 2. Check septic tank and pump tank condition 3. Check operation of pump, control and valves. 4. Check zone dose rates. 5. Evaluate and record meter for usage. Page No. 19 Copyright 2006

103 Micro-Mound TM DESIGNERS GUIDE AMERICAN PERC-RITE SEPTIC OR SECONDARY TREATED DRIP SYSTEMS 1 ZONE or 2 ZONE SIMPLEX PATENT NOs. 5,200,065 & 5,984,574 & 6,261,452B1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page No 1. SYSTEM COMPONENTS 2 2. LOADING RATE CHART 7 3. ZONE DETAIL TABLE 9 4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS STANDARD DETAIL DRAWINGS WARRANTY 24 This Micro-Mound TM Series Perc-Rite Drip System Designer s Guide is for the engineer or experienced non-engineer designer. Procedures have been developed to size, layout and design a low profile Wisconsin Sand Mound with a Perc- Rite Drip System using tables and a Micro Soft Excel spread sheet instead of extensive engineering calculations. The tables have conditions that allow the designer considerable flexibility to layout systems in a variety of siting conditions without being required to do engineering calculations to determine design suitability. The Mound 2000 design manual (Wisconsin Mound Soil Absorption System #15.22, Small Scale Waste Management Project, James Converse & Jerry Tyler, January 2000) represents the most current design guidelines. The manual places conditions on instantaneous dosing of primary infiltrative surface plus orifices per square foot, gallons per orifice, and landscape linear loads. The Perc-Rite process will accommodate virtually any type of pretreatment process, septic tank (anaerobic), aerobic, lagoon, or any type of treatment facility. When advanced system design is required, outside the limitations of this design procedure, the designer must reference the Mound 2000 manual and the Perc-Rite design manual located on our web site and complete a detailed calculation sheet to determine suitability. Reference our web site at The branding of this Wisconsin Mound design as the Micro-Mound TM is due to enhancements to the traditional design. Enhancements to the design include flow equalization, low profile due to elimination of gravel depth and cover requirements, plus enhanced treatment due to dispersal of filtered effluent with drip micro-dosing. Additional pretreatment of the effluent to a secondary standard may be provided. The Perc-Rite Drip System is a unique fluid handling system for dispersal of effluent wastewater in soil systems. The system incorporates equal volume micro-dosing across the entire absorption area, filtration, time and level controlled application and ultra-low rate drip distribution. These characteristics enhance the unsaturated, aerobic condition within to sand bed, providing well managed intermittent sand filter quality, thus later enhancing effluent entrance into the natural soil interface. This timed instantaneous micro-dosing through hundreds of discharge points increases the residence time of the effluent within the sand above the soil, eliminating saturated flow, and thus enhancing final treatment and disinfection.

104 Perc-Rite Drip Systems provide for easy installation of the field distribution lines. The effluent discharge volume from each emitter is very small. The installation of the Micro-Mound TM system has a very low profile so little site impact is observed even in established lawns or park areas. After installation there is minimal visible impact compared to other surface infiltration systems. This system is especially suited for landscaped or wooded areas near buildings, trailer parks, apartment complexes or residential subdivisions. AMERICAN Manufacturing Company, Inc.

105 PERC-RITE MICRO-MOUND TM SYSTEM COMPONENTS 1. The QM and ASD Series PERC-RITE DRIP SYSTEM CONTROLLERS are state of the art control panels, activated by level sensing devices (standard float switches) located in a dosing tank downstream from the pretreatment process or processes. When activated by the rising level of effluent in the dosing tank, the controller will enable the disposal cycle. The system controller on a time clock basis will pump the effluent through the filter module and then to final drip dispersal. 2. FILTER UNIT - Disc filter(s), automatic control valves and solenoid activated diaphragm valves are assembled in a filtration unit with flow meter (optional heater) in valve box enclosure. Wiring is provided with labels for easy connection. 3. PUMP SYSTEM - The pump, Cool Guide TM (Patent No. 6,262,689) and float switches for level indication are provided for installation into the pump tank. The pump is a 15-gpm turbine pump and will be suitable for most residential installations. Reference lift and distance table for pumping limits. 4. DRIPPER TUBING - The dripper tubing is pressure compensating dripper line for wastewater. The tubing delivers a nominal 0.61 gallons per hour (+/- 6% flow rate from 7 to 60 psi). The tubing functions as a turbulent flow emitter between 0 and 7 psi, ensuring that the nominal design flow is not exceeded at system start-up. 5. SIDE FEED MANIFOLD - The side feed manifold is located at one end in the drip zone for easy installation and is provided with an air release valve. If two zones are installed, check valves are provided in order to use the common return pipe. The system provides for the fastest possible pressurization of the zone and the most efficient method of providing drain down venting. Top Feed manifolds (Patent No. 5,984,574B) are available for sloping installations. 6. DRIP FIELD MATERIALS - All special drip fittings and equipment are supplied by American Manufacturing Company, Inc. including the tubing insert fittings, connectors, flex tube and non-schedule 40 PVC standard fittings. 7. MULTI-ZONE SEQUENCING VALVE (OPTIONAL) - In the event more than one zone of tubing is required, a sequencing valve may be used to alternate between zones. The valve is a multi-port device, which is located at the highest point in the dispersal area and requires no electrical activation. An alternate option is a two-zone control unit with electrical activation. 8. STANDARD FIELD MATERIALS - All tanks, wire, standard pipe and fittings are provided by the contractor at the local site. The 1 supply and return pipes, the 1/2 pipe for installation between the top feed manifold system and the laterals and other misc. PVC pipe are to be purchased locally. 9. SAND MOUND - The sand mound design conforms to the Wisconsin Sand Mound 2000 Guidance. Enhancements to the design include flow equalization, low profile due to elimination of gravel depth and cover requirements, plus enhanced treatment due to dispersal of filtered effluent with drip microdosing.

106 MICRO-MOUND TM DESIGN PROCEDURES FOR USE WITH EXCEL CALC TOOL 1. DEMAND ANALYSIS - Local codes determine the amount of wastewater to design for. Many codes have a safety factor or peak flow factor in the prescribed design flow. Others are based on more of an average usage. In either event, the designer must determine what the peak (design) flow is. The Perc-Rite Drip System will disperse the average flow through out each day unless the Peak float is enabled at which time the system will disperse effluent at an accelerated design daily flow rate. Record the peak design flow on line 3 of the worksheet. 2. SITE AND SOILS EVALUATION - Soil and site evaluation is required on each site according to state and local criteria and the procedures used are not included in this manual (see page 7). The designer must determine from the information provided by the evaluator the basal area loading rate line 6. The Soil Texture and the depth to limitation need to be determined line 2. The Soil Loading Rate Table provided should be used as a guidance tool only. The professional judgment of the evaluator and designer should determine the wastewater application rate for any specific site. 3. DELINEATE AREA - The installation area should be delineated, long and narrow mound(s) along contour are best. On a site plan or a site sketch, the designer should layout the area of installation on contour. The width along contour should be recorded line 4. The slope should be recorded line 5. Determine on the Landscape Linear Loading table the appropriate loading rate and record on line 11. The spreadsheet will calculate mound dimensions and determine single mound suitability. If the contour loading rate is exceeded, then the number of mounds (line 13) should be adjusted. Once the input adjustments are made to have line 12 indicate YES, then proceed. 4. SELECT ZONE DETAL - Once the number of mounds and the mound dimensions are determined, a standard zone detail is selected based on the width across contour and the number of mounds. See the Zone Detail Table. Determine how wide the system can be based on the delineated area on the plan. Match the distance across contour and from the table select the zone detail for the site. Record the selected zone detail on line 23. Minimum number of runs is estimated based on 9 center to center spacing of tubing. Add more runs with closer spacing to provide supply and return on the same side. 5. LAYOUT SITE - On a site plan or site sketch show the layout of the tanks, filter module and the control panel. On a site plan or site sketch show the route for the supply and return pipes. Determine the lift to the field and record on line 18. Measure and show the distance that the supply and return pipes travel. Determine the length of supply line run and record on line DETERMINE SUITABILITY - Reference the Lift and Distance Table system for suitability. Determine the filter unit gpm capacity (12 gpm secondary treated effluent only or 15 gpm septic or secondary). Determine the length of run to the farthest field and the number of laterals in each zone. The layout must use 1 supply and return lines only. If the selected zone detail is included in the zone table, record the maximum lift in line 24 of the spreadsheet of the corresponding run length met or exceeded in the corresponding filter unit table. If the layout is suitable, the last item will say YES. Copyright 2006 Page No. 4

110 ZONE DETAIL NUMBERING SYSTEM Each zone is designated by a Z indicating it is a Zone Detail Designation followed by three groups of numbers. The first is the number of zones, the second is the number of laterals per zone, and the third is the runs per lateral. Z = Zone # Zones # Laterals # Runs/Lat EXAMPLE 1 Z Z = Zone # Zones # Laterals # Runs/Lat This example shows a two-zone detail with three laterals per zone and two runs per lateral. ZONE DETAIL SELECTION PROCEDURE Reference the site plan layout to determine the width across contour of the mound area. From the mound spreadsheet determine the total amount of tubing required. The total linear feet of tubing required is determined by the length across contour and the minimum for pump run time. Zone details are configured to has supply and return on same end to provide for easy installation. Increasing the number of runs in order to install a standard zone configuration is encouraged. This provides an additional safety factor for the tubing interface loading rate plus it is easier on the equipment. Use the following step by step procedure to select a zone detail. 1. Determine width across contour. 2. Determine number of runs that can be installed in sand (typically 9 O.C.). 3. Select a standard zone detail from under the column for contour width that has enough tubing to satisfy tubing spacing. 4. In the event more runs are needed to yield enough tubing for the site, the tubing may be placed closer than 4 on center. EXAMPLE 2 Contour width = 100 Feet Tubing required = 800 Linear Feet From the table, the linear feet of tubing provided in 100 foot runs will be between 600 LF and 2400 LF. Therefore, select 8 runs for 800 LF. The zone detail could be: Z Z = Zone # Zones # Laterals # Runs/Lat Finally confirm that the number of runs can be installed into the delineated area.

114 RUN TIME TABLES: 15 GPM AUTOMATIC AND WASHDOWN PERC-RITE DRIP SYSTEMS The run time tables are based on the gallons per day the system is designed for. The run time numbers are based on the average daily flow rate. Selecting the run time is the last design step that is performed. Based on the number of zones and the number of laterals per zone, the run time is selected based on the average gallons per day. For even distribution and minimizing draindown events, the run time is calculated to provide from 3 to 5 times the volume of drip tubing plus the top feed manifolds. Therefore, the number of doses per day per zone will vary in order to maintain optimum dispersal.

115 RUN TIME TABLES: 12 GPM SEMI-AUTOMATIC PERC-RITE DRIP SYSTEMS The run time tables are calculated for achieving the best distribution of the average daily flow in gallons per day the system is designed for. Selecting the run time is the last design step that is performed and is based on the number of zones and the number of laterals per zone. The run time should result in even distribution and minimizing draindown events. The run time is calculated to provide from 3 to 7 times the volume of drip tubing plus the top feed manifolds. Therefore, the number of doses per day per zone will vary in order to maintain optimum dispersal.

Prior to start up of the drip disposal system the air release valves shall be removed and each zone in the system shall be flushed as follows: a.) Using an appropriate length of flexible pvc pipe with a male fitting attached to the air release connection to direct the flushing water away from the construction area. B.) Flush the zone with a volume of clean water (to be provided by the contractor) equal to 1.5 times the volume of the pipes from the central unit to the air release valve. C.) Repeat this procedure for each zone (flushing of the system is accomplished by manual override of the control panel by the manufacturer or engineer). 10. If trees are to be removed from site, cut stumps flush with the ground level. Do not remove. 11. Gravel base under central control unit is to be drained via 2 pvc pipe, screened at inlet and outlet, discharge to be at grade down slope (to ensure drainage of surface water from the unit. 12. CONTRACTOR CERTIFICATION: the manufacturer shall certify the contractor to install this type of system. Contact the Manufacturer to set up a training meeting. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOUND 1. Stake out area. The absorption area must be placed on contour. Measure the ground surface elevation along the upslope edge of the adsorption area. Note that installation activity is to take place from the up slope portion of the adsorption area only with as little activity as possible. If multiple adsorption areas are placed on the same slope, the lower area of installation activity should be in as narrow corridor as possible. Install the lower areas first, scarifying the up slope construction areas. 2. The preservation of the original soil structure of the soil in the adsorption area is essential to maintaining the infiltrative and percolative capacity of the soil. No activity other than the minimum to construct the system is permitted within the adsorption area. The footprint of the adsorption area should be prepared only when the soil moisture is within a satisfactory range. 3. Prepare absorption area location for installation. The absorption area not only includes the sand bed area, but the down slope extended toe of basal area also. Grass, shrubs, and trees must be cut as close to the ground surface as possible and removed, preferably by hand from the site. In wooded area with excess litter, it is recommended to rake the majority of the material from the site. Do not pull out stumps, do not remove sod, top soil, or boulders. Copyright 2006 Page No. 14

117 4. Scarify (plow) entire basal area. Typically plowing depths are 6-8, although slightly deeper may be specified in the case of shallow thin weak fragi (plow) pans. The satisfactory moisture range in the plowed area is defined as where the soil will crumble and not form a wire when rolled between the palms. In addition, the soil within a minimum of 12 of the ground surface is not to be sufficiently moist to exceed its plastic limit. The plastic limit is exceeded when the soil can be rolled between the palms of the hands to produce threads 1/8 in diameter without breaking and crumbling. Do not till if there is any question. 5. The purpose of the tillage is to roughen the surface to allow better infiltration into the topsoil, and providing a more transitional contact between / from the sand to the soil. Excessive tillage will destroy the soil structure and reduce infiltration. Several methods are available. The most preferred method is using chisel teeth mounted on a backhoe, which can be easily removed. This method works the fastest around stumps. Secondly, a chisel plowed pulled behind a tractor. This method works fastest on open turf sites. The furrows are to be along the contour. Lastly a backhoe bucket with short, sharp teeth to flip the soil may be used, but this method can be time consuming. Rototillers are prohibited on all but structure less sands. Small shrub and tree stumps dislodged during tillage may be removed. 6. Once the site has been tilled, a layer of sand must be placed before it rains. The sand is not to be mixed into the soil but applied / spread such that is fills the naturally occurring / exposed structure voids. Sand should be placed with a backhoe and spread. A minimum of 6 of sand is required below the tubing. The sand bed surface must be even, along the contour, but is not required to be flat, that is it does not have to be deeper on the down slope side on sloping sites. Tapering and extending sand into the toe / basal area is preferred. Sand Specification: As required by Code for mounds. Sand to have an effective diameter of between and a uniformity coefficient between 4 and 6. No more than 20% by weight of material >2 mm and < 5% by weight <.053 mm. ASTM C-33 may be suitable. Sand certification to be presented to designer prior to installation. 7. Carefully taper and incorporate 2-4 sand throughout the basal area. 8. Place sand specified fill depth over sandbed basal area 9. Determine where the drip zone supply lines and return line will enter the adsorption area. All drip tubing distribution systems will likely feed and return from the same end. Regardless of whether it is end or center feed, these lines should always enter from the upslope side of the mound at the edge of the adsorption area or from the end if appropriate. Keep below frost line to this point. 10. Place drip tubing over sandbed area. (See Drip Installation Instructions) 11. Sod staples will help in the placement. Connect to supply and return manifolds. Connect to hydraulic unit supply / return lines. Elevate loops 2 with pressure treated wood (2 x 6 ) or bricks, secured firmly on sand bed. Install observation wells in the bed center at the 1/3 and 2/3 point along the length. 12. Cover drip tubing with minimum 2 sand. 13. Once the system has been pressure tested and started up, cover sand bed with geotextile synthetic fabric. 14. Place suitable soil cover (loam) over the mound. There should be a minimum of 8 on the sides and shoulder with 12 on the top. Be sure the supply / return lines have of sand / soil cover for frost protection. Remember the side slope will be typically be 3: 1 to extend over the basal, toe of berm area. The covered area will include an extended toe if required. The cover should be able to support vegetation. Page No. 15 Copyright 2006

118 15. Place filtration unit and mount control panel. 16. Set switch tree in pump tank. 17. Wire filtration unit and float switches to control panel. 18. Final grade the mound and area so surface water moves away from and does not accumulate on top of or up slope of the mound. Use lightweight equipment. 19. Seed and mulch the entire area as soon as possible to avoid erosion. Sod is recommended. Establish and maintain an aggressive turf cover. If other cover is necessary, provisions need to be made to control erosion. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR DRIP DISPERSAL 1. Dig header ditch for field manifold. 2. Install dripper tubing. Horizontal spacing between dripper lines shall be as specified and installation depth shall be as specified. Install on contour. 3. Install loops (flex tubing) and construct field supply / return manifolds. All PVC pipe and fittings shal be PVC SCH 40 type 1 rated for pressure applications. All glued joints shall be cleaned and primed with purple (dyed) PVC primer prior to being glued. All cutting of PVC pipe, flexible PVC and/or dripper tubing shall be accomplished with pipe cutters. Sawing of PVC pipe, flexible PVC and/or dripper tubing shall be followed by cleaning all shavings or sawing should not be allowed. All open PVC pipe, flexible PVC and/or dripper tubing in the work area shall have the ends covered with duct tape during construction to prevent construction to prevent construction debris from entering the pipe. Prior to gluing all glue joints shall be inspected for and cleared of construction debris. 4. Dig ditches for conveyance lines, pump supply line, and flush return line. Install. Connect supply / return lines with manifolds. 5. Place Filtration Unit and mount control panel. Connect conveyance, supply, and flush return lines to hydraulic unit. 6. Set switch tree in pump tank. 7. Install electrical (and phone line if applicable). Check power supply and power up unit. 8. Provide one-day volume of clean water for startup. Prior to startup of the drip disposal system the air release valves shall be removed and each zone in the system shall be flushed as follows: a) using an appropriate length of flexible PVC pipe with a male fitting attached to the air release connection to direct the flushing away from the construction are, b) flush the zone with a volume of water (clean water to be provided by contractor) equal to 1.5 times the volume of the pipes from the central unit to the air release valve, c) repeat this procedure for each zone (the flushing of the system is accomplished by manual override of the control panel by the manufacturer of engineer.) Once completed replace and glue air relief valves. 9. Pressure check all fittings and lines. Inspect field and loops. Find leaks and repair. 10. Check setup values against calculated values. Set run time for Central Unit. 11. Backfill once lines and fields are determined to have no leaks. Backfilling is to be controlled to prevent the damaging of pipes or fittings. Once completed, drainfield area should be graded to shed surface water with additional clean soil as necessary. Establish fescue or other turf cover, cut long (6-8 ). Copyright 2006 Page No. 16

126 OPERATION AND MONITORING FOR PERC-RITE DRIP SYSTEM The PERC-RITE DRIP SYSTEM has been developed to automatically monitor operational functions. The system is designed to be easily fixed after it breaks, in other words periodic monitoring can confirm good operating conditions but there are no maintenance procedures necessary until a mechanical component needs repair. Furthermore, any malfunction or breakage of a mechanical component will result in a failure similar to any traditional system, including a wet spot in the field, a backup or a high level alarm. The MONITORING FREQUENCY should be no more than traditional systems. The most important component for the operational success is owner awareness. All onsite systems have a finite hydraulic capacity. Drip systems have no storage capacity in the soil system so storage or flow equalization must be provided in the pump tank. The owner must be aware system exists and their limitations for usage. After a successful installation and startup the system should be inspected from one to three months after the owner takes occupancy to confirm operational compliance and to inform the owner of the operational characteristics of the system. The system should then go on a schedule of annual inspections to monitor usage and inspect system for wear in order to minimize emergency service requirements. Each system is provided with an owners manual. The local dealer has a more detailed installation and maintenance supplement manual. If more than septic pretreatment is provided, more frequent monitoring may be required. Provide monitoring frequency at the rate determined by the most sensitive component. An OPERATIONAL CHECKLIST is provided in the dealer s supplement manual for determining satisfactory operation of the system. The following topics are covered; 1. Field Conditions 2. Check septic tank and pump tank condition 3. Check operation of pump, control and valves. 4. Check zone dose rates. 5. Evaluate and record meter for usage. Page No. 24 Copyright 2006
