Eco 1-60 Package
Protecting your Grinder Pump Unit
The grinder pump will handle any waste water (sewage)
that is normally discharged from your toilets, bathroom,
laundry or kitchen.
Do not put any of the following into toilets, sinks or drains
as it may damage or affect the operation of the package.
• Glass, metal, wood, seafood shells or other hard
objects.
• Cloth or synthetic material.
• Any chemical other than standard cleansing or laundry
products including toxic, caustic, acidic or poisonous
substances.
• Degreasing solvents.
• Explosive or flammable material including hydrocarbon
fuels, paint thinner or anti-freeze.
• Oils and grease.
• Hair clippings.
• Sanitary towels or condoms.
While the grinder/pump may handle some of these items,
it is desirable to keep them out of the sewerage system.
What to do if high level alarm is on
Do not panic.
This alarm indicates that sewage has reached the high
level point, but in the standard tank there is still 600 litres
of emergency storage remaining.
Take the following steps.
• In the controller, set the audible alarm to mute to stop
the siren.
• Discontinue water usage in your premises unless in an
emergency.
• Wait 15 minutes to ascertain if the pump reduces the
level in the tank.
• If warning light goes out - the situation has corrected
and water usage can proceed as normal.
• If warning light remains on – contact technician. See
contact details on back page. Do not open the tank lid
or turn off the power.
In case of power outage (blackout)
Discontinue water usage, except in an emergency
situation, until power is restored.
Emptying a pool or spa
(Greater than normal bath size)
If you have added a pool or spa to your system after
installation of the Eco 1-60 PSS unit, you need to ensure
that they are not emptied at a greater flow rate than the
pump can handle. This is ensured by either putting flow
restrictions in the pool/spa discharge line to control the
flow rate or fitting a extra storage tank before the PSS
unit. Please discuss this with your plumber or technician
as per the contact details on back page.
If premises is being left unoccupied for a lengthy
period
If the premises is being left unoccupied for a lengthy
period, for example going on holidays for 5 days or more
run a tap within your premises, stopping after the grinder
pump turns on. The Grifter unit will then pump down to
the low level ensuring the tank holds a minimum quantity
of clean water and cleansing the pump of sewage.
This ensures that sewage is not left in the tank to emit
stagnating odours.
Shut off the water supply at the mains to avoid leaking
taps overflowing the tank in your absence.
Turn the controller power off with the isolator on the side.
Do not forget to turn the controller on after your return and
before any water usage.
If these guidelines are followed your Mono Grifter Package
will provide you with many years of unobtrusive, “hassle
free” operation.
For further details please refer to the “Installation,
Operation and Maintenance Instructions” supplied with
this unit.
If you have further concerns or queries please do not
attempt to service the unit, contact the technician/help
desk as per the contact details on back page.
