| The
ULTRA-AIR MODEL 535
septic aerator is available with two different sized mounting
brackets. They are defined as having a 12-inch
or 13 ½-inch diameter hanging bracket. Please
review the illustrations above to ensure you are ordering the ULTRA-AIR
MODEL 535 with the proper size mounting brackets that
will work for your application. Specially designed and sized mounting
brackets are available upon request and at an additional charge. 12-inch
diameter risers are also available for mounting the ULTRA-AIR
MODEL 535 aerator on tanks that do not have pre-existing
risers.
Manufacturer’s
recommendations and important information:
It is highly recommended
that the ULTRA-AIR MODEL 535
septic aerator be allowed to run continuously to provide optimum
performance and ensure an adequate oxygen supply is readily available
inside the septic tank to proliferate the growth of aerobic bacteria.
Do not shut off the motor for extended periods of time if left inside
the septic tank.
The ULTRA-AIR
MODEL 535 aerator comes with a pre-wired 115-volt
plug that is designed to plug into a normal electrical socket or
for reference an extension cord. The motor draws only 3.5 amps when
operating. When mounted into a tank the motor and the suds restrictor
must remain above the highest liquid levels inside the tank. At
least every 6 months all motors with a shaft inside the tank should
be taken out and any debris on the shaft removed. The stainless
steel shaft is hollow and attaches to another hollow shaft that
extends through the center of the motor. Air is drawn from the vent
on top of the tank lid and down through the hollow shafts where
it is distributed throughout the tank as defined in the tank illustration.
At least once per year the inside of these shafts should be checked
to ensure there are no restrictions. Cleaning inside the shaft can
be accomplished by using a gun cleaning rod and brush or some other
similar means.
Although the ULTRA-AIR
MODEL 535 aerator has been constructed with Permanently
lubricated bearings in a fully enclosed housing, it was not designed
to be placed in an area that will flood. Only special flood proof
motors will handle flooding conditions. A flooded motor will not
be covered by warranty. If potential flooding conditions exist in
your application we suggest that you check out our SepAerator™.
The SepAerator™ will aerate an
existing septic tank without any flooding concerns, as the air pump
sits in a housing outside of the tank and diffuses air into the
tank through our patent-pending weighted diffuser assembly.
