10.0 Pump Controls
Pump controlled systems will include an electrical control system that has the alarm circuit independent of the pump
circuit controls and components that are listed by UL or equivalent, is located outside, within line of sight of the
dosing tank and is secure from tampering and resistant to weather (minimum of NEMA4X). Where a water supply
water meter is available it may be possible to eliminate the counters or timers.
The control panel shall be equipped with both audible and visual high liquid level alarms installed in a conspicuous
location. Float switches shall be mounted independent of the pump and force main so that they can be easily
replaced and/or adjusted without removing the pump.
11.0 System Ventilation
11.0.1 SYSTEM VENTILATION:
Air vents are required on all absorption systems located systems with
more than
18 inches of cover
material
as measured from the top of the GSF module to finished grade. This will ensure proper
aeration of the modules and sand filter. The GSF Module has aeration channels inside the physical unit and in
between the rows of GSF modules. Under normal operating conditions, only a fraction of the filter is in use. The
unused channels remain open for intermittent peak flows and the transfer of air. The extension of the distribution
pipe to the vent provides adequate delivery of air into the GSF system.
Typically, home plumbing operates under negative pressure due to hot water heating the pipes and reducing the
density of air in the house vent. As hot air rises and exits the home, it must be replaced by air from the GSF. To
maintain this airflow and fully aerate the GSF system, it is important that air vents are located only on the distal end
of the GSF pipe network.
11.0.2 VENTILATION PLACEMENT:
In a GSF system, the vent is usually a 4-inch diameter pipe extended to a
convenient location behind shrubs, as shown below. Non-perforated corrugated pipe may be used. If using
corrugated pipe, ensure that the pipe does not have any bends that will allow condensation to pond in the pipe.
This may close off the vent line. The pipe must have an invert higher than the system so that it does not drain
effluent.
