The Fusion
®
is designed to treat household type waste and can
treat most common substances introduced into the system.
However, certain harmful substances may reduce the efciency
or stop the treatment process by reducing or destroying the
benecial bacterial populations responsible for treatment. In
general, if a chemical substance is considered harmful to humans
then it should also be considered harmful to the Fusion
®
treatment
system. If you have any questions concerning the use of any of
these substances, please contact your Fusion
®
maintenance
provider. The introduction of any substance on the “Do Not" List
into the Fusion
®
will void the warranty.

®

AUTHORIZED MAINTENANCE PROVIDER
Your authorized maintenance provider will perform many system
checks and adjustments as needed during the maintenance inspection.
Two inspections per year will be made for a total of four inspections
during the initial service policy. Please see the Operation and
Maintenance section of this manual for further details.
Should there be any operational deciencies with your Fusion
®
,
the maintenance provider will notify the owner in writing when
the deciencies will be corrected. If the maintenance provider does
not correct the deciencies or the service calls are not completed,
please contact Clarus Environmental at 1-800 928 2731.
ALARM CONDITION
If an alarm condition occurs, please check the air intake area
around the blower and make sure no debris blocks the blower
intake. Remove the air lter cap by removing the screw from
the cap and then pulling on the sides of the top of the blower.
Remove the foam lter and gently tap against your other
hand. If it is very clogged wash it in warm, soapy water and
dry well before replacing. Reassemble lter and cap on top of
blower. Do not attempt to remove the blower housing or any
other parts from the blower. If the blower is operating properly,
there may be a high water condition within the Fusion
®
. It
may be necessary to discontinue water use until the alarm
condition has been resolved. If the buzzer continues to sound
or the red light stays on, please contact your authorized Fusion
®
maintenance provider. The buzzer may be silenced by toggling
the black switch on the side of the alarm panel to “silence”.
The red beacon light will remain on until the problem has been
resolved.
POWER OUTAGE
Should you experience a power outage, the blower will not
operate and air (oxygen) will not be supplied to the Fusion
®
. If
the blower is off for more than 24 hours, the lack of fresh air will
cause the treatment efciency to decrease. During a power outage,
the Fusion
®
will still allow efuent to ow, and will not create a
backup in the home. You may, however, have a pump or dose tank
with a pump on the outlet of the Fusion
®
, which requires power to
pump the efuent to the soil absorption eld. If you have a system
such as this, please be aware of this condition and conserve water
accordingly.
Fusion
®
Series systems are compact, efcient, and designed to
be installed in a typical residential/light commercial environment.
The nal efuent leaving the system will typically be treated to the
secondary quality strength of *9 mg/L CBOD
5
and 9 mg/L TSS.
EFFLUENT QUALITY
*
Based on NSF/ANSI Standard 40 testing.
