Whilethe use of bio-degradable detergents is recommended, theSingulair system has been designed to handle anyreasonable amount of bathroom, kitchen or laundry waste.
However, some care should be exercised to insure that non-biodegradable and/or toxic materials are not disposed of viathe domestic wastewater plumbing. Do not use the plumbingsystem for disposal of lint, cooking grease, scouring pads,diapers, sanitary napkins, cotton balls, cotton swabs,cleaning rags, dental floss, strings, cigarette filters, rubberor plastic products, paints and thinning agents, gasoline,motor oil, drain cleaners or other harsh chemicals. Theseitems could plug portions of the plumbing and/or adverselyaffect system performance. Never connect roofing downspouts, footer drains, sump pump piping, garage andbasement floor drains or water softener backwash to thedomestic wastewater plumbing or the treatment system.
Water softener backwash will interfere with biologicaltreatment and must be disposed of separately.

BIO-STATIC® SLUDGE RETURN
Each Bio-Static sludge return is installed in the aeration/clarification chamber wall. Aeration chamber hydrauliccurrents enter the sludge return(s) and transfer solids fromthe clarification chamber back to the aeration chamber foradditional treatment. The Bio-Static sludge returnaccomplishes resuspension and return of settled solidswithout disturbing the contents of the clarification chamber.

SERVICE PRO® MONITORING CENTER
An optional Service Pro MCD control center is available for
use with the Singulair system. Designed to connect to a
standard telephone line or internet connection, this control
center provides MONITORING, COMPLIANCE and
DIAGNOSTIC functions complete with telemetry for
communication with the Service Pro monitoring center. Once
your Service Pro MCD control center is connected to a
telephone line or internet connection, commissioned, and
covered by a remote monitoring agreement, your service
provider will be immediately notified of any alarm condition.
The Service Pro monitoring center will automatically log the
time and date of alarm conditions, as well as service
performed, and store them in your system history record for

SINGULAIR® SERVICE PROGRAM
Semi-annual service inspections, at six month intervals for the first two years of system operation, are provided by your localNorweco distributor and are included in the original purchase price of the Singulair system. Costs for travel and labor are notcharged to the owner. During an inspection, each mechanical aerator, Bio-Kinetic system and other plant components areserviced as outlined in the Singulair Product Manual. After the initial two year service program is completed, the local serviceprovider will provide continued service at the owner's option. The service program should be renewed by the owner to insuremaximum system performance.
Ask your Singulair service provider about a renewable service contract. If you allow service coverage to expire, you can stillobtain the professional assistance of a factory-trained technician. However, these special service calls will be performed on atime and materials basis. Professional service is important to proper system operation and should not be allowed to lapse. Besure to consider the advantages of a renewable service contract.
The Singulair service provider will perform the following services during each service inspection:
Check aerator operation
Inspect outlet coupling
Check aerator power consumption
Install a clean Bio-Kinetic system
Check aerator air delivery
Fill Blue Crystal feed tube
Clean stainless steel aspirator shaft
Fill Bio-Neutralizer feed tube
Clean aspirator tip
Inspect effluent quality
Clean fresh air vent in concrete cover
Inspect outlet line
Inspect aeration chamber contents
Inspect ground water relief point
Check operation of control center
Inspect effluent disposal system
Adjust time clock when required
