Installation Guide

Each Singulair Green Bio-Kinetic wastewater treatment system is sold complete including: delivery and installation of the
tank; installation and start-up of the mechanical aerator, Service Pro control center and Bio-Kinetic system; three-year limited
warranty with four prescheduled service inspections at six month intervals; and lifetime aerator exchange program. It is
important that the Singulair Green order be taken and recorded carefully to insure that all federal, state and local regulations
are met. A clear outline of responsibilities when the order is taken will simplify installation of the system and establish a sound
working relationship with your customer and local health department.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Installation of the Singulair Green system normally occurs
in two phases. First, the polyethylene tankage is delivered
and installed at the contractor’s convenience. The electrical
control center and underground electrical service cable are
also installed at this time. Only when the system is ready
for start-up are the Singulair aerator and Bio-Kinetic system
delivered and installed. When the Singulair Green installer
has completed equipment installation, he should also start-up
and test the entire system and familiarize the owner with its
operation. This installation procedure will assure efficient
use of the contractor’s and installer’s time and protect
equipment from possible damage or unauthorized start-up.
CONTACT THE LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT
The contractor must contact the local health department
prior to installation of the Singulair Green system and apply
for an installation permit. The local Singulair Green dealer
will have drawings, specifications and performance data for
the system on file with the health department. Normally,
the contractor will not be required to supply this information
to receive the installation permit. The health department
may request a drawing showing the proposed method of
effluent disposal and location of the Singulair Green system
in relation to the building, property lines and potable water
supply. The health department may wish to inspect the site
and proposed point of discharge, take soil samples or run
percolation tests before issuing an installation permit. The
contractor must find out if an inspection of the Singulair
Green tank and sewer line will be required before backfilling
is allowed.
DELIVERY TRUCK ACCESSIBILITY
Inform the contractor of the dimensions and weight of the
delivery truck. The excavation must be accessible without
interference from trees, shrubbery, power lines or other
obstacles. Earth from the excavation must be piled outside
the working area needed to operate the truck. Remind the
contractor that extra charges will apply if the excavation is
not complete and readily accessible.
POSITIONING THE EXCAVATION
The Singulair Green tank is available with three potential
inlet locations. They are located on the inlet end wall and
both inlet sidewalls at the same elevation. The position of
the sewer line with respect to the building, inlet sewer line
and point of discharge will dictate the best inlet choice. It is
not necessary to position the system with the inlet end wall
facing the building. Review the installation requirements
and choose a tank that has the correct inlet location.
TANK LEVELING PAD
To insure that the tank bottom will be bearing the weight
evenly, all tanks should be set on a four inch thick pad of
gravel, sand or fine crushed stone. The pad should be
installed and leveled by the contractor before delivery and
setting of any tank takes place. The tank pad must be
leveled to within
1
/4" from side to side and end to end.
EXCAVATION SIZE AND DEPTH
The Singulair Green tank is 10' 3" long and 6' 6" wide. The
excavation should have sufficient overdig to allow between
18" to 24" of clearance on both sides and 6" to 12" of
clearance on the inlet and outlet ends of the system.
Additional overdig will be required on deeper installations or
for safety where the excavation side walls are unstable.
The excavation depth is calculated using several factors.
First, note the elevation of the sewer line as it leaves the
building. From this sewer line elevation, subtract
1
/8" per
foot from the building to the system location to determine
the inlet invert elevation. Next, measure from the outside
bottom of the tank to the inlet invert of the system. Subtract
this distance from the inlet invert elevation to determine the
finished excavation depth. Deduct 4" from the finished
excavation depth to accommodate the leveling pad. Fall
through the system from inlet invert to outlet invert is 4".
Therefore, the outlet line from the system must be installed
four inches lower than the point where the inlet sewer line
joins the system. The excavation depth should allow a
minimum of 6" and a maximum of 16
1
/
2
" of fill over the tank.
