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/l CBOD and less than 30 mg/l
TSS with a PH range of 6-9 and total nitrogen removal of a minimum of 50%.
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 (two service calls per year) and the continuing service
policy are minimum requirements of NSF Standards 40 Class I, 245 and 350 certified wastewater
treatment systems. If local service requirements are greater than those of these NSF Standards 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,
no
special service is required.
