OWNER'S MANUAL
4.3 TROUBLESHOOTING
Inlet blockage:
If the drain upstream of the separator backs up, visually check the inlet pipe through the inspection port for a blockage and
snake the pipe if necessary.
Outlet blockage:
If the liquid level within the Proceptor separator rises above normal, visually check the outlet pipe through the inspection port
for blockage. Clean carefully with a snake (pipe cleaning tool) as required.
Check the levels of solids and grease within the separator. Have it pumped out if necessary. Eliminate the possibility of drain
blockages occurring elsewhere.
Note: Repeated blockages may indicate a need for usage evaluation (e.g. the amount of solids entering the Proceptor, excess
grease in the system may be solidifying in the pipes, etc.). To ensure the separator functions correctly, take all corrective
actions required to reduce the quantity of solids and contaminants entering the Proceptor and ensure that all BMPs are
being followed.
4.4 ODOR CONTROL
Vents
Vent ports are provided with the Proceptor separator. The installer should connect the port(s) in the top of the tank. This will
help maintain air pressure equilibrium in the tank, allowing for smooth flow and eliminating odors in the building.
Frame and Cover
Check the condition of the gaskets and/or O-ring under the access cover. Clean and replace if necessary.
4.5 SPILLS
Proceptor separators can be susceptible to spills given the sometimes unpredictable nature of wastewater surges. If excessive
oil, grease or solids flow into the separator, the tank must be pumped immediately to help prevent a spill. If there is an
overflow, the appropriate governing agency must be notified.
