SINGULAIR
®
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
Rivaling the performance of the most advanced wastewater
treatment plants in the world, the Singulair system complies
with USEPA wastewater treatment guidelines for secondary
treatment systems and meets all requirements of NSF/ANSI
Standard 40. In ecologically sensitive areas, the most
stringent effluent standards are 10 mg/L CBOD and 10 mg/L
TSS. Rated Class I after successfully completing the 6
month Standard 40 test protocol, the Model 960 system
averaged effluent of 6 mg/L CBOD and 10 mg/L TSS.
The Model TNT system averaged effluent of 4 mg/L
CBOD, 9 mg/L TSS and 12 mg/L Total Nitrogen and met
all requirements of NSF/ANSI Standard 245.
OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
The Singulair system is designed to treat only domestic
wastewater. Domestic wastewater is defined as the waste
generated from a typical residence. This includes flows
originating from: bathtubs, clothes washers, dishwashers,
drinking fountains, water coolers, food grinders, kitchen
sinks, lavatories, mop basins, service sinks, shower stalls,
sinks, wash sinks, water closets and whirlpool baths. While
the use of bio-degradable detergents is recommended,
the Singulair system has been designed to handle any
reasonable amount of bathroom, kitchen or laundry waste.
However, some care should be exercised to insure that
non-biodegradable and/or toxic materials are not disposed
of via the domestic wastewater plumbing. Do not use
the plumbing system for disposal of lint, cooking grease,
scouring pads, diapers, sanitary napkins, cotton balls,
cotton swabs, cleaning rags, dental floss, strings, cigarette
filters, rubber or plastic products, paints and thinning agents,
gasoline, motor oil, drain cleaners or other harsh chemicals.
These items could plug portions of the plumbing and/or
adversely affect system performance. Never connect roofing
down spouts, footer drains, sump pump piping, garage and
basement floor drains or water softener backwash to the
domestic wastewater plumbing or the treatment system.
Water softener backwash will interfere with biological
treatment and must be disposed of separately.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Each Singulair control center must be wired to a dedicated
115 VAC, single-phase circuit at the main electrical service
panel. A 15 amp circuit is recommended (10 amp minimum).
A pictorial wiring diagram is provided inside the control
center enclosure. All electrical work must be performed in
accordance with the requirements of the National Electrical
Code and all applicable local codes. Electrical connections
should be made only by a qualified electrician following
proper procedures and using safe tools.
CAUTION: Any time service is required, first shut off
the dedicated circuit breaker in the main electrical
service panel. Next, shut off the power switch in the
Singulair control center. Failure to do so could result
in personal injury or equipment damage.

AERATOR
The aerator has been specifically designed for use in the
Singulair system and includes special alloy and molded
plastic parts to prolong aerator life. Aerator bearings are
pre-lubricated and sealed. Singulair aerators are installed
in a concrete mounting casting above the aeration chamber.
Fresh air enters the aerator through four intake ports located
under the aerator handle. The air is drawn down the hollow
aspirator shaft where it is introduced below the liquid surface.
Only the molded plastic aspirator and the lower portion of
the stainless steel aspirator shaft are submerged.
The aerator is not designed to run under water and will
automatically shut off if a high water condition occurs. If
the liquid rises to the level of the foam restrictor, the control
center will shut off power to the aerator. Next, an automatic
diagnostic sequence begins, as outlined in the section titled
“Service Pro Control Center”.
Each Singulair aerator is a precision engineered
electro-mechanical device. Do not remove it from its
installed position. Do not attempt any type of repair.
Contact your Singulair service provider if service is needed.
Unauthorized tampering or repair will void important
provisions of the limited warranty and exchange program.
FRESH AIR VENTING SYSTEM
An aerator vent assembly is cast into the concrete access
cover above each aerator. The vent assembly supplies
fresh air to the aerator, which is drawn through the aspirator
and into the wastewater. Finished landscaping should be
maintained six inches below the top of the vented access
cover and graded to drain runoff away from the cover.
Do not allow plants, shrubbery, mulch or landscaping of
any type to restrict the flow of air to the vent assembly or
obstruct the access cover.
