The installation of a basin system
is a specialized skill, which
requires individuals with the basic
understanding of excavating, pipe
fitting, and electrical wiring.
These instructions are meant only to
be an installation guide; therefore,
unusual installation conditions not
covered in these instructions require
experienced personnel capable
of using reasonable engineering
principles for the installation and
operation of the system.
Excavation location shall be
made according to local codes
and regulations. Check with
local utility companies for
the location of underground
utilities prior to excavation.
Care should be taken to avoid
buried utility lines, piping, and
other buried structures and
foundations. Failure to follow
these instructions may result
in serious personal injury or
death.
Excavation for Basin Systems:
Effect appropriate excavation
based on size of the basin, desired
entrance point of the influent line,
and entrance of power connection.

risk exists. Installer(s) and/
or service personnel must use
proper Personal Protective
Equipment and follow handling
procedures per OSHA 29 CFR
1910.1030 when handling

Hydromatic does not recommend
basins with base/bottom diameters
greater than 30" when installing
a simplex Positive Displacement
pump (HPD200) system. When
operational conditions require a
basin with base/bottom diameter
of greater than 30" it is necessary
to perform a sludge pump-out
on the basin at least once per
year to prevent any septic/odor
conditions.
