4 MAINTAINING YOUR SYSTEM
Owner’s Responsibilities
The owner is responsible for:
•
Ensuring the system is operating efficiently at all times;
•
Promptly fixing the system when problems are detected;
•
Ensuring the system is inspected and serviced quarterly by a qualified service technician;
•
Ensuring the system is desludged when it is required.
To ensure the overall health and performance of your FujiClean wastewater treatment system,
Fuji Clean Australia recommends a desludge of the system every 3 years, or earlier if the
maximum accumulated sludge and scum levels are reached as specified by the manufacturer.
The desludge frequency will depend on sludge and scum accumulation levels, which varies
depending on usage. Your FujiClean service agent will measure the sludge depth at every
service interval and will advise you when desludging is required.
CAUTION:
Any problems caused due to the neglect of the quarterly service being carried
out or disregarding when is time to desludge advice from your FujiClean service agent will
immediately void warranty.
Tips for Trouble-Free Operation
Below is a guide on good maintenance procedures, which you should follow:
•
Keep your household’s water usage well below the system’s daily design flow rate.
•
Do not switch off the power to the system even if you are going on holidays. If extended periods
of non-use are anticipated, contact your service agent.
•
Do not use more than the recommended amounts of detergents.
•
Do not put fats and oils down the drain and keep food waste out of your system.
•
Do not put bleaches, disinfectants, whiteners, nappy, soakers, spot removers in large quantities
into your system via the sink, washing machine or toilet.
•
Do not allow foreign objects such as sanitary napkins, nappies, baby wipes, and other hygiene
products to enter the system.
•
Do not dispose of chemicals down the drain. The list below shows examples of chemicals
which are considered harmful to the system.
➢
Medicines
➢
Paint, Paint Thinners and Paint Strippers
➢
Solvents
➢
Pesticides and Herbicides
➢
Motor Oil, Petrol, Antifreeze, Break Fluid and Other Automotive Fluids
Regular Maintenance
The effective operation of the system is dependent on regular maintenance. It is to be serviced
EVERY 3 MONTHS
by a FujiClean authorised service agent.
Regular maintenance involves periodic removal of excessive sludge and scum build-up from the
system. The frequency of removal depends on the system
’s loading.
Consumable parts for the blower such as air filter and diaphragms need to be replaced regularly. The
recommended replacement interval for these parts is between 12 months to 24 months.
Irrigation Area/Disposal
There are certain requirements and laws for the irrigation system for the disposal/reuse of the treated
wastewater. The irrigation system must be designed and installed by qualified professionals by law,
and in accordance with the requirements of your local, state and/or Australian standards.
