2. Before using any plumbing (toilet, dishwasher, faucets etc.) you should locate the
electrical breaker in the main breaker box that provides power to the Clearstream control
panel. Move it to the on position if it is off. The Clearstream standard control panel has
two breakers inside and both must be in the on position. If the system does not come
on when the main breaker is turned on DO NOT open the Clearstream control panel.
Electrical shock hazard which could result in serious injury or death, call your dealer to
inspect panel.
3. The air compressor is designed to operate continuously. Please make a visual
inspection to ensure that the air compressor is operating by inspecting control panel for
audible or visual alarm. The compressor is not running when light is illuminated.
4. The treatment plant should be filled with tap water prior to use. Your dealer ordinarily
performs this task during installation. When the power is turned on initially you may get a
high-water level alarm consisting of a red light and an audible alarm. To silence this alarm
simply trip the silence switch at the control panel, the light will remain on until the water
returns to normal level.
5. Your Clearstream has a disposal field depending on your local and state code. As
the operator of your system you should know somewhat of how this part of your on-site
wastewater system will do its job. Please contact your Dealer if you need information
concerning the disposal system.
RE-START UP PROCEDURES:
NOTE: Causes of Anaerobic Conditions
When the Clearstream is shut down for an extended period the aerobic system will turn
anaerobic (become septic. Typical causes of anaerobic conditions are homeowners
moving, foreclosures, vacation homes left until next summer etc...
Other causes are air line leaks from settling of the soil around the tanks that can shift
and cause breakage of PVC fittings and pipes that are external and internal of the plant.
Accidents from children playing and lawn equipment bumping the air supply line at the
compressor are reasons for an aerobic system to become septic. The usual scenario
is the installer gets a call that the system has failed and the owner is experiencing odor
problems.
NOTE: Maintenance Company Qualifications
Most State laws require that a septic system installer license or wastewater treatment
plant operator license must be held by at least one person in the maintenance company,
and certified by Clearstream as an authorized service company to perform any required
service.
