What to do if the alarm is activated in my BIO-MICROBICS MicroFAST 0.75 Water System?
- B
  Brian HillAug 6, 2025
  If the alarm is activated (sounding) in your BIO-MICROBICS Water System, it could be due to several reasons. One possible cause is a tripped breaker. In this case, try turning the blower switch ON. If the breaker trips after a few seconds (2-3), an electrician needs to check the blower wiring. If the breaker trips immediately, an electrician must investigate. Finally, the blower itself might be seized, requiring you to replace the blower and call your service provider.

Why does my BIO-MICROBICS MicroFAST 0.75 Water System smell like rotten eggs?
- N
  Nicole BryantAug 10, 2025
  If your BIO-MICROBICS Water System is emitting a rotten egg smell, several factors could be responsible. It could be a mechanical failure or an air line break, in that case check if the blower is running. Another cause might be improper splash in the reaction chamber, indicating a broken air line. Also, consider these potential solutions: * Decrease settling tank volume, which can be achieved with a pumping system. * Relocate the vent to a location where prevailing winds will catch the odor. * Place a carbon filter on the end of the vent pipe, ensuring it creates less than 0.1 psi of back pressure. * Create a bio-filter vent by placing a well-perforated vent line in a trench with shredded bark mulch; contact your local installer for assistance.

What to do if waste is backing up from the BIO-MICROBICS Water System tank?

  If waste is backing up from the tank of your BIO-MICROBICS Water System, it could be due to a blockage in the pipe network. Check all piping for blockages, including interior tank piping and effluent piping. Alternatively, there may be a mechanical failure of the ancillary pumping system, in which case you should have a qualified person check the pumping system for mechanical and/or electrical failures. It's also possible that the pump's level controls are improperly set, have failed, or the pump is delivering too much volume per dose; have your service provider check/adjust the equipment.

How to reduce blower noise in BIO-MICROBICS Water System?
- M
  mitchelldavisAug 18, 2025
  If the blower in your BIO-MICROBICS Water System is noisy, several factors could be contributing. Vibration between the blower and housing may be the cause; try tightening the mounting screws or placing rubber washers between the blower and housing. The blower bearings might also be failing, in which case you can replace the blower now or wait for it to seize up. Other solutions include supplementing the blower housing with sound-reducing measures (contact your service provider) or relocating the blower up to 100 ft away from the unit.

Why is the effluent from my BIO-MICROBICS MicroFAST 0.75 Water System dirty?
- M
  Michael OwensAug 23, 2025
  If the effluent from your BIO-MICROBICS Water System is dirty, it could be due to a toxic substance in the system; check for even growth in the reaction chamber. It may also be caused by many solids detected in the effluent, requiring a pump out. Refer to 'Bio-Solids Levels' under 'Maintenance Checklist' section.

What causes a BIO-MICROBICS MicroFAST 0.75 blower to run backwards?
- M
  Matthew PhillipsAug 27, 2025
  If the blower in your BIO-MICROBICS Water System is running backwards, it's likely due to incorrect installation. If it's a 3-Phase system, switch any two 'hot legs' at the panel or blower AFTER turning OFF the power. For a Single-Phase system, switch the two wires.

What to do if there is water in the BIO-MICROBICS MicroFAST 0.75 Water System blower/housing?
- M
  Ms. Tracy CarlsonAug 31, 2025
  If there is water in the blower or housing of your BIO-MICROBICS Water System, it could be due to water entry. Move the blower above the flood level from outside. Alternatively, the blower may be siphoning; in this case, move the blower to a location higher than the FAST® system.
