Septic System Pumped

The pretreatment chamber of the Singulair system will periodically require pumping. Because the Singulair system is a biological treatment device, the time frames listed within these instructions are estimates. Actual pumping frequency will depend on the amount and strength of the wastewater being treated.

Handling and disposal of pretreatment chamber contents, referred to as septage, or the contents of the aeration and clarification chambers, referred to as biosolids, are regulated by local, state and federal authorities. Disposal options may include land application, lagoon treatment, municipal wastewater treatment or landfill disposal.

Prior to arranging for tank pumping, contact the Norweco distributor to obtain complete information on access to chambers, removing equipment, coordination of services and disposal of tank contents.
During Singulair system installation and backfilling, do not allow dirt or mud to enter the system.

Once in the system, dirt or mud will form a heavy sludge which will affect settling characteristics, interfere with filtration and degrade effluent quality. If dirt or mud enters the system, it must be removed to insure proper system operation. Removing the dirt or mud may require repeated flushing and tank pumping.
