JET INC 952 UV 1500 Series BAT Media Plants Instruction Manual

JET INC 952 UV 1500 Series BAT Media Plants

1500 Series BAT® Media Plants

PLANT MODES
Jet media Plants are available in seven sizes – 500, 600, 750, 800, 1000, 1250 & 1500 gpd (“gpd” means “gallons per day” and refers to the way wastewater treatment plants are rated). Plants in the J-1500 series have been tested to nsF standard 40 criteria for Class I ns’ listing.

BAT® PROCESS
Your plant uses Jet’s exclusive wastewater treatment process called Biologically accelerated Treatment, or BaT®.
In this process, millions of microorganisms attach themselves to the media. The Jet aerator supplies the oxygen utilized by the microorganisms to convert the waste to colorless, odorless liquids and gases. This process provides an extraordinarily high degree of treatment.

JET TANK
The Jet tank has three compartments. The Pretreatment Compartment receives wastewater and treats it physically and biologically. The Jet aerator provides mixing and injects fresh air into the Treatment Compartment contents. The model 500, 600, 750, and 800 gpd tanks have only one aerator and media pack with a built-in pretreatment tank. The model 1000, 1250, and 1500 gpd plants have two aerators and media packs with a separate pretreatment tank. The wastewater flows through the plant, receiving treatment as it travels to the settling Compartment. Here, fine particles settle and return to the Treatment Compartment, for further processing, leaving only a clear, odorless liquid for final discharge.

JET CONTROL PANEL
The control panel should be mounted where it can be easily accessed and seen. a wiring diagram and instructions are inside the control panel cover. energy requirements are 115 Volt, 60 Hz. electrical work must be performed in accordance with the requirements of the national electrical Codes and local codes.

If the red visual alert light glows and/or an audible alert buzzer sounds, the circuit breaker has tripped to protect the aerator. To restart the aerator, and turn off the buzzer and alert light press the control panel circuit breaker reset button.
If the buzzer and alert light come on repeatedly, turn the switch in the control panel to “oFF” and call your Jet Distributor immediately for service.

JET AEROTER
The aerator is the only mechanical component in your plant. It requires no homeowner maintenance.
The aerator shaft spins and combines fresh, outside air with the wastewater in the Jet Tank Treatment Compartment. air travels down the mounting casting cover air vent through the aerator and into the tank, providing oxygen for the treatment process. any foam is controlled by the foam restrictor.

Aerator operation is nearly silent. If the plant is located near an open window, you may detect the sound of air moving into the treatment tank. For virtually silent operation, ask your Jet Distributor to install an aerator silencer.

The Jet Plant uses a sealed aerator. The aerator is sealed to protect it from damage by water. It is not designed to operate under water. If a high water level occurs, the control panel circuit breaker will trip, shutting off power to the aerator. The warning light will turn “on”. If this happens, press the circuit breaker reset button on the control panel to restart the aerator.

• Never handle your aerator. Call your Jet Distributor if any service is necessary.
• When the aerator access Cover is removed and reinstalled, it is important to place the outside air hose in the vent cap. The hose must not be obstructed.
• Never disassemble or work on the aerator. This voids the warranty.
• Power at the main electrical panel must be turned off before any authorized service is performed on the aerator, the control panel, or any wiring.

Do’s & Don’ts

Things To Do

• Know the location of your control panel and check periodically for alarm conditions.
• Keep a record of pumping, inspections, and maintenance.
• Practice water conservation to reduce the amount of water going into the Jet system.
• Learn the location of your Jet system and avoid constructing patios, decks, and paved surfaces over your system.
• Divert roof drains and surface water away from your Jet system.
• Keep sump pump water and house footing drains away from the Jet system.
• Reduce heavy water usage periods by separating dish washing and laundry from shower time.
• Use dryer sheets in the dryer in place of liquid fabric softeners in the wash cycle.
• Use detergents without phosphates (i.e., seventh Generation Free & Clear, method 3x Concentrate, arm & Hammer, era, oxindole).

Avoid these items
Do not put any of the following items in your Jet system. They will cause serious damage to the plant’s biological process and equipment.

• Plastic, sanitary products, scouring pads, condoms, mop strings, “disposable” diapers, towels, lint, rags, etc. These items will collect in your plant and require more frequent pumping. Paints, paint thinner, chemicals, grease, solvents and sanitizer.

• These kill the good bacteria in your plant.
  water softener backwash. route to drainage ditch, storm sewer or downspout drainage system.

• Heavy plumbing cleaners and toilet tank tablets that will kill off the good bacteria in your plant.

• Don’t use concentrated detergents, that contain phosphates, or liquid fabric softeners. anti-bacterial soaps can kill off the beneficial bacteria in your system.

• Antibiotics and chemotherapy can affect the performance of residential treatment plants.

Inspection & service

Local Distributor: The Jet Distributor who installed your Jet Plant is trained, experienced and properly equipped to handle service and answer any questions. Your distributor’s name and phone number are posted on the cover of your control panel. You can also search for a list of available service providers in your area on our web site at www.jetincorp.com/distributorlocator.php.
limited warranty & service Policy: Your limited warranty and Inspection/service Policy are printed on a card accompanying this manual.

Renew Your Inspection/service Policy: For the first two years, your Jet Distributor provides free inspection and service. This Inspection/service Policy includes four scheduled service and maintenance calls at no charge. after the first two years, renew your Inspection/service Policy with your Jet Distributor.

Plant service – 3 Year Cycle

6-month service: This comprehensive service call includes collection and assessment of a post-treatment sample, inspection, servicing, cleaning, removal, reinstallation and testing of the aerator by a trained service technician.

12-month service: This call provides all elements of the 6-month service as well as media cleaning.

3-Year service : This service provides all steps in the 6- and 12-month service and tank pumping, if necessary. If you have not renewed your Inspection/service Policy, you will be charged for the 30- and 36-month service calls. Tank pumping is not included under your Jet Distributor’s Inspection/service Policy. It is charged to you by your tank pumper. If you have kept your service policy active, there will be no charge for aerator service. make sure you notify your Jet Distributor before you have your tank pumped. If the tank pumper is not familiar with Jet’s media and media has not been cleaned before pumping, severe damage to the media can occur. This is potentially costly to repair.

Note:.

• UV bulbs should be cleaned and inspected every 6 months, and replaced every other year.

Plant landscaping & Vacation usage

Plant landscaping
Most owners plant grass over their Jet Plant. many owners prefer planting a flower bed. myrtle, Pachysandra, or Ivy is also attractive. Do not position anything permanently over below-grade access covers. They must be accessible for service (note: some systems may already have all three access covers extended above grade. refer to drawings on page three for access cover locations). It is very important that the finished grade slope away from the plant. also, grade must be at least 1” below the bottom of the access covers.

Vacations & Intermittent use
If your plant serves a vacation home or a building in which all occupants will be absent part of the time, the plant should be left running and cycled as it is during any absences. This will clean the Treatment Compartment during the absence and keep the plant in top operating condition.

If gone for a long duration of time, we recommend using Bio JeT-7® or BIO JET-7® Dry Packs to repopulate the beneficial bacteria in the system.

Tank Plumping Instructions

media Compartment Pumping 500 Thru 1500 GPD Plants:

1. Jet service technicians must air clean the media tank prior to tank pumping. Pumping must take place within two weeks after media cleaning.

2. Remove tank access covers. remove aerator(s). always place aerator
   so shaft and foam restrictor do not contact any surface. You can lean aerator against the mounting casting as long as the shaft does not come into contact with hard surfaces. Even a small bend in the shaft will shorten the aerator’s lifespan.

3. Always pump the Pretreatment Compartment (access 1) first, then pump the Treatment Compartment (access 2) second.

4. Pumping from the Settling Compartment (access 3) is not required.

5. The opening in some media is very small. Take extreme care not to touch any part of the media with the pump hose or the tip of the pump hose – serious damage can occur if the media is stressed by the vacuum or the hose.

6. The opening in the media center can not be seen from the surface. Care-fully lower the hose down the center of the mounting casting, through the opening in the media, and down to the bottom of the tank.

7. Pump tank until empty and carefully remove hose. Use caution not to touch the media with the hose as the hose is being removed.

8. Rinse out all compartments and pump out residual water.

9. Reinstall aerator(s) and access covers.

10. Note: Tank pumping should only be preformed by a properly equipped professional service provider. Check with your local health department for current tank pumping regulations.

ACCESS COVERS
500,600,750 & 800 GPD
