Inspection Checklist:
When checking the system operation, take particular note of;

Wormorator build-up. Six monthly level should be no higher than 200mm below inlet pipe (simple
observation through lid adequate).
2.
Field performance, particularly looking for any undue odours or effluent breakout (flush field lines
2–3 monthly).
3.
All electrical parts (if applicable). Ensure all pump alarms are working.
4.
Check Grey Water and Dose tank outlet filter for any build-up.
5.
Check Aerating Bio-Filter charge tank (1200 pump) for correct operation (simple observation
through lid adequate) and that the plants themselves look healthy and lush (these can be trimmed
if desired to keep looking tidy).
