SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
Rivaling the performance of the most advanced wastewater
treatment plants in the world, the Singulair Model 960 system
complies with USEPA wastewater treatment guidelines for
secondary treatment systems and meets all requirements
of NSF/ANSI Standard 40. In ecologically sensitive areas,
the most stringent effluent standards are 10 mg/L CBOD
and 10 mg/L TSS. Rated Class I after successfully
completing the 7 month Standard 40 test protocol, the
Singulair Model 960 averaged effluent of 6 mg/L CBOD and
10 mg/L TSS.
OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
The Model 960 Singulair system is designed to treat only
domestic wastewater. Domestic wastewater is defined as
the waste generated from a typical residence. This includes
flows originating from: bathtubs, combination baths/showers,
bidets, clothes washers, dishwashers, drinking fountains,
water coolers, food grinders, kitchen sinks, lavatories, mop
basins, service sinks, shower stalls, group showers, sinks,
urinals, wash fountains, wash sinks, water closets and
whirlpool baths. While the use of bio-degradable detergents
is recommended, the Model 960 system has been designed
to handle any reasonable amount of bathroom, kitchen or
laundry waste. However, some care should be exercised to
insure that non-biodegradable and/or toxic materials are not
disposed of via the domestic wastewater plumbing. Do not
use the plumbing system for disposal of lint, cooking grease,
scouring pads, diapers, sanitary napkins, cotton balls, cotton
swabs, cleaning rags, dental floss, strings, cigarette filters,
rubber or plastic products, paints and thinning agents, drain
cleaners or other harsh chemicals. These items could plug
portions of the plumbing, interfere with biological treatment,
accumulate in the treatment system and adversely affect
system performance. Never connect roofing down spouts,
footer drains, sump pump piping, garage and basement floor
drains or water softener backwash to the domestic
wastewater plumbing or the treatment system. Water
softener backwash will interfere with biological treatment
and must be disposed of separately.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Each Singulair control center must be wired to a dedicated
115 VAC, single-phase circuit at the main electrical service
panel. A 15 amp circuit is recommended (10 amp minimum).
A pictorial wiring diagram is provided inside the control center
enclosure. All electrical work must be performed in
accordance with the requirements of the National Electrical
Code and all applicable local codes. Electrical connections
should be made only by a qualified electrician following proper
procedures and using safe tools.
CAUTION: Any time service is required, first shut off
the dedicated circuit breaker in the main electrical
service panel. Next, shut off the selector switch in the
Singulair control center. Failure to do so could result
in personal injury or equipment damage.

AERATOR
The aerator has been specifically designed for use in the
Singulair system and includes special alloy and molded
plastic parts to prolong aerator life. Aerator bearings are
pre-lubricated and sealed. Singulair aerators are installed
in a concrete mounting casting above the aeration chamber.
Fresh air enters the aerator through the drip shield and is
drawn down the hollow aspirator shaft where it is introduced
below the liquid surface. Only the molded plastic aspirator
and the lower portion of the stainless steel aspirator shaft
are submerged.
The aerator is not designed to run under water and will
automatically shut off if a high water condition occurs. If the
liquid rises to the level of the foam restrictor, the control
center circuit breaker will automatically open to shut off power
to the aerator, light the red warning light and sound the
audible alarm.
Each Singulair aerator is a precision engineered
electro-mechanical device. Do not remove it from its installed
position. Do not attempt any type of repair. Contact your
local Singulair distributor if service is needed. Unauthorized
tampering or repair will void important provisions of the limited
warranty and exchange program.
FRESH AIR VENTING SYSTEM
An aerator vent assembly is cast into the concrete access
cover above each aerator. The vent assembly supplies fresh
air to the aerator, which is drawn through the aspirator
and into the wastewater. Finished landscaping should be
maintained six inches below the top of the vented access
cover and graded to drain runoff away from the cover. Do not
allow plants, shrubbery, mulch or landscaping of any type
to restrict the flow of air to the vent assembly or obstruct the
access cover.
