The system normally comprises 2 or 3 separate chambers (gravity or pumped system).
The system comprises a pre-treatment chamber (of 3,560 litres) gravity feeding to a
secondary treatment chamber (1,280 litres) incorporating a Zabel A100/300 ilter.
If a pump is incorporated into the system, the pump well has a capacity of 700 litres. Various
pumps can be itted to the system depending on duty requirements.
The system may also be itted with an electrical isolator switch and high water level audible
alarm, mounted on a post on the system, in the event of system malfunction.
INTRODUCTION INTRODUCING
PRODUCTS INTO
THE SYSTEM
Introducing harmful products into the system may reduce the eiciency of the system
or stop the treatment process by destroying the bacteria. These products that reduce
the eiciency or stop the treatment process can be grouped into two groups, prohibited
substances and limited-use substances. While the wastewater treatment system will process
most waste produced by the average household, the following information will maximise the
system’s eiciency and reduce the time period between primary chamber pump-outs.
NOTICE: Introducing harmful or damaging chemicals into your Clearwater Z54 Deluxe System
may void the Warranty.
