WATER SOFTENERS
AUTHORIZED MAINTENANCE PROVIDER
Your authorized maintenance provider will perform many system
checks and adjustments as needed during the maintenance
inspection. Two inspections per year will be made for a total of
four inspections during the initial service policy. Please see the
Operation and Maintenance section of this manual for further
details.
Should there be any operational deficiencies with your Fusio
n
®
,
the maintenance provider will notify the owner in writing when
the deficiencies will be corrected. If the maintenance provider does
not correct the deficiencies or the service calls are not completed,
please contact Zoeller Pump Company at 1-800-928-7867.
ALARM CONDITION
If an alarm condition occurs, please check the air intake area
around the blower and make sure no debris blocks the blower
intake. Remove the air filter cap. Remove the filter and gently
tap against your other hand. If it is very clogged wash it in
warm, soapy water and dry well before replacing. Reassemble
filter and cap on top of blower. Do not attempt to remove the
blower housing or any other parts from the blower. If the blower
is operating properly, there may be a high water condition within
the Fusion
®
. It may be necessary to discontinue water use until the
alarm condition has been resolved. If the buzzer continues to sound
or the red light stays on, please contact your authorized Fusion
®
maintenance provider. The buzzer may be silenced by toggling
the black switch on the side of the alarm panel to “silence”.
The red beacon light will remain on until the problem has been
resolved.
Check the circuit breaker and make sure the blower circuit is on.
Reset the breaker switch if it has been tripped. If it continues to
trip or the alarm continues to remain on, contact your Fusion
®
maintenance provider.
POWER OUTAGE
Should you experience a power outage, the blower will not
operate and air (oxygen) will not be supplied to the Fusion
®
. If
the blower is off for more than 24 hours, the lack of fresh air will
cause the treatment efficiency to decrease. During a power outage,
the Fusion
®
will still allow effluent to flow, and will not create a
backup in the home. You may, however, have a pump or dose tank
with a pump on the outlet of the Fusion
®
, which requires power to
pump the effluent to the soil absorption field. If you have a system
such as this, please be aware of this condition and conserve water
accordingly.
FLOODING
If flooding of the Fusio
n
®
occurs and the blower
or the alarm panel is submerged, please disconnect power at
the circuit breaker. DO NOT try to reconnect power to either the
blower or alarm panel once it has been submerged. Immediately
contact your authorized Fusion
®
maintenance provider to inspect
the Fusion
®
, the blower, and the alarm panel. Your maintenance
provider will repair or replace the components as needed.
Fusion
®
Series systems are compact, efficient, and designed to
be installed in a typical residential/light commercial environment.
The final effluent leaving the system will typically be treated to the
secondary quality strength.

The Fusion
®
system is designed to function even if wastewater
does not enter it for extended periods of time. The power to
the blower must remain on during this time for the system to
function properly. Weekend use will not harm the system as long
as the blower is on. Should seasonal use require a complete shut
down of the property, then it is recommended that the blower
be turned off. It is important to start up the system in advance of
actual occupancy to allow for normal treatment to resume. Please
contact your authorized Fusion
®
maintenance provider for further
information concerning shut down and startup of the Fusion
®
. You
