TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE 

Problem 

Possible Causes 

Solutions 

Alarm light and/or 

buzzer is activated 

Blower switch is OFF 

Turn blower switch ON.  For breaker switch found on the small 

control panel, verify breaker does not trip. 

Blower current is below minimum.  

Check blower wiring and operation.  If blower is not running, 

thermal overload switch in motor may have tripped, or motor is 

nonfunctioning.  Allow motor to cool to reset thermal switch.  
In small control panels, check blower fuse.  
In large control panels with contactor and overload, check if the 

overload is tripped. 

Blower current is above normal. 

Verify amp draw of motor against nameplate full load amps.  If 

blower is running above normal amp draw or FLA, check possible 

causes including high water level and air pipe blockage. 

UV circuit failure (small control 

panels only) 

Check UV fuse in control panel and UV ballast, as well as bulb 

condition.  If UV is not used, verify UV current sensor jumper is in 

OFF position. 

External input dry contact is closed  Check if an optional external input such as a float switch is 

activated. 

Circuit board failure 

Contact a BioMicrobics technical service representative. 

High water level in 

FAST® tank 

The FAST® tank is flooded. 

Determine cause of flooding (e.g., line obstruction, lateral 

field/pump failure, high flows, etc.) 

Blower motor is 

making a loud 

whining or grinding 

noise 

Blower motor bearing has failed. 

Remove blower and have blower motor serviced.  

A foreign object has entered 

blower housing.  

Remove blower for service and check condition of air filter.  

Water in the blower 

Water has entered the blower 

housing. 

The blower should be located in an area where water does not 

accumulate. It must be located at least two feet above the treated 

water outlet pipe from the FAST® system. 

Blower motor is wired backwards, 

pulling water into blower from 

treatment tank. 

Correct the motor wiring for proper rotation.  Allow blower to dry. 

Unpleasant odor 

emanating from the 

FAST unit 

The blower and air piping are not 

operating correctly. 

Check the blower, vents, and air piping for proper operation. Make 

sure the vents have sufficient openings for air to escape. 

The system is overloaded.  

Check the maximum flow rate to the FAST unit to see that it is 

within normal limits. 

Blower recently started after 

period of no use. 

Septic odors may be present for several hours when starting a 

blower after the system is idle for long periods of time, such as in 

seasonal use properties.
