Advanced
Enviro-Septic
®
Pipe Rows
Under normal use, the rows of Advanced Enviro-Septic
®
pipes do not require
maintenance. It is normal to find fluctuation of the water level in the pipes.
On the other hand, if the water level reaches 260 mm, a rejuvenation of the
Enviro-Septic System must be considered. A qualified person
10
must carry
out this procedure.
Piezometers
No maintenance is required on the piezometers. However, the owner must
ensure that the caps are in place. They must be accessible at all times to
facilitate system inspection (they must not be buried).
Sampling
device
The Enviro-Septic System must have a sampling device. The sampling port, a
pipe of 200 mm in diameter
11
closed off by a cap, must be accessible above
ground. It is normally located beside the rows of pipes, near the extremity fed
by water from the septic tank (see figures 5 and 6).
The owner must make sure that the sample port is always capped. It will be
used on occasion by an inspection technician to analyze the performance of
the Enviro-Septic System according to requirements in effect.
10
There may be costs related to this operation, if the problem is due to improper use of the system or due to a design or
installation problem.
11
The diameter of the sampling port constructed prior to 2009 is 100 mm.
