FINAL INSPECTION AND STARTUP
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the tank will not float due to hydraulic conditions at the
site. Your local FAST® Systems distributor may provide installation inspection services. If you have questions,
call BioMicrobics at 800-753-FAST (3278) or (913) 422-0707.
BEFORE THE UNIT IS BACKFILLED:
1. Fill the tank to the normal operating level.
2. Check for leaks in all water-tight seals.
3. Turn the blower on and observe the operation of the air lift. A robust splash should be present.
4. Check for excessive back pressure:
Seal all access covers, place hand about 8 in [20 cm] from FAST® vent. If you feel air flow then there
is excessive back pressure and the system’s vent must be upgraded.
5. Check for proper water level over media. The normal water line should be ~2 in [5 cm] over the media.
6. Check for proper alarm function:
Turn off the blower circuit breaker and wait for the alarm to sound. If the alarm does not sound
after 30 seconds, review the electrical installation procedures.
7. Turn the blower back on.
8. Backfill the excavation.
9. Finally, record the FAST® unit’s serial number in the service manual.
