About Jet

Our Mission Statement: To be the #1 provider of advanced onsite wastewater treatment systems throughout the
world, while offering a superior product and outstanding customer service.

Founded in 1955, David S. MacLaren acted on an innovative idea. While working closely with his father, Albert
MacLaren, they designed and patented an aerator for family homes that would more effectively treat and dispose
of residential wastewater, changing the technology in the wastewater treatment business forever!
A close look at our competitors will highlight how much of an innovator we are as most of the competing
concrete tanks are modeled after our design, but they can’t copy another Jet innovation, our patented BAT® media.
This makes Jet the true pioneer and a leader in onsite wastewater treatment both in residential and commercial
settings.

Offering a high level of customer service and cutting edge products in an ever changing industry, Jet is the
LEADER in wastewater technology. Jet’s representatives design, install and service the best products in the
industry!

The Products
Jet concentrates on water pollution control, producing equipment and components for package wastewater treatment
plants. Starting with a residential plant, the company refined and worked with this product so that today it is the
most accepted, largest selling home plant in the country. Next, Jet added a complete line of commercial plants
designed to serve factories, apartments, hospitals, service stations, trailer parks, and dozens of similar installations
located beyond city sewer lines. To support its commercial plants Jet offers a complete line of optional equipment
and accessories.
A unique feature of Jet’s Commercial Plant is the patented Jet Air-Seal Diffuser® . The first truly non-clog diffuser
in the field, it has been acclaimed by health authorities and engineers.
Jet’s product lines also include JET-CHLOR® Wastewater Disinfectant Systems, CHLOR-AWAY® Dechlorination
Systems, Jet Tablet Feeders, BIO JET-7®, a natural, organic wastewater additive, Lift Stations, Liquid Level
Alarms, Controllers and a broad range of other wastewater treatment products and equipment.
Field-proven in thousands of installations, Jet plants have successfully undergone hundreds of testing programs
and performance evaluations at the local, state, and national levels.

The Distributor
Jet has a strong network of distributors licensed to sell, install, and service Jet Treatment Plants. Jet works with
these local distributors, guiding them with training and follow-up in engineering, production, sales and office
procedures. The company arranges frequent training seminars at its factory and sends factory specialists to aid the
distributor in his territory. Jet prides itself on this program of close cooperation with its distributors, and credits
this with being one of the major elements contributing to the distributors’ success.
As Jet’s management puts it: “Jet products plus Jet training plus Jet Distributors make an unbeatable pollution
control team.”

1500 Series BAT® Media Plants
PLANT MODELS
Jet Media Plants are available in six sizes – 500, 600, 750, 1000, 1250
& 1500 gpd (“gpd” means “gallons per day” and refers to the way
wastewater treatment plants are rated). Plants in the J-1500 Series have
been tested and meet NSF Standard 40 criteria for a Class I NSF Listing.
Most 500 through 750 gpd plants serve single family dwellings. Larger
plants normally serve other buildings.
500, 600 & 750 GPD PLANTS
All information in this manual is directed to owners of plants
in these sizes. The exception is the section directed to owners
of 1000 through 1500 gpd plants.

BAT® PROCESS
Your plant uses Jet’s exclusive wastewater treatment process called
Biologically Accelerated Treatment, or BAT® for short.
In this process, millions of microorganisms attach themselves to the media.
The Jet Aerator supplies the oxygen utilized by the microorganisms to
convert the waste to colorless, odorless liquids and gases. This process
provides an extraordinarily high degree of treatment.

JET AERATOR

The aerator is the only mechanical component in your plant. It requires no For virtually silent operation, please ask your Jet Distributor to install an

Fresh, outside air is drawn into the Treatment Compartment by the aerator.
Air travels down the mounting casting cover air vent through the aerator
and into the tank, providing oxygen for the treatment process. Any foam
is controlled by the foam restrictor.
Aerator operation is virtually silent. If the plant is located near an open
window, you may detect the sound of air moving into the treatment tank.
Jet has a Flood proof aerator. The Flood proof model is sealed to protect it
from damage by water. It is not designed to operate under water. If a high
water level occurs, the control panel circuit breaker will open, shutting
off power to the aerator. The warning light will turn “on”. If this happens,
press the circuit breaker reset button on the control panel to restart the
aerator.

CONTROL PANEL
The control panel should be mounted where it can be easily accessed
and seen. A wiring diagram and instructions are inside the control panel
cover. Energy requirements are 115 Volt, 60 Hz. Electrical work must be
performed in accordance with the requirements of the National Electrical
Codes and local codes.
If the red visual alert light glows and/or an audible alert buzzer
sounds, the circuit breaker has opened to protect the aerator.
To restart the aerator, press the circuit breaker reset button.
If the breaker does not stay “set”, causing the light and/or buzzer
to repeatedly operate, contact your Jet Distributor.
Also, your control panel has an audible alert buzzer. It sounds when the
circuit breaker trips. Also, the red visual alert light goes “ON.” Both
buzzer and alert light can be turned off by pressing the control panel
circuit breaker reset button. Normally, this will restart the aerator.
If the buzzer and alert light come on repeatedly, turn the switch in the
control panel to “OFF” and immediately call your Jet Distributor to
service.

● BIO JET-7® is a natural, organic, non-toxic liquid that gets new plants
and plants that have just completed their 3-year service off to a running
start. When used as directed, BIO JET-7® prevents grease traps from
clogging and eliminates septic tank odors. It really works!
● If your neighbors have a smelly septic tank, suggest they get a bottle of
BIO JET-7®. It is their first line of defense for dealing with their septic
odor problems.
● Periodic application of BIO JET-7® and following the recommended
plant maintenance will keep your plant running in top form.

LIMITED WARRANTY & SERVICE POLICY
Your Limited Warranty and Inspection/Service Policy are printed on a
card accompanying this manual.
RENEW YOUR INSPECTION/SERVICE POLICY
For the first two years, your Jet Distributor provides free inspection
and service. This Inspection/Service Policy includes repair, service and
maintenance calls at no charge. After the first two years, renew your
Inspection/Service Policy with your Jet Distributor.

Inspection/Service Policy. It is charged to you by your tank pumper. If
you have kept your service policy in force, there will be no charge for
aerator service. Make sure you notify your Jet Distributor before you
have your tank pumped. If the tank pumper is not familiar with Jet’s
media and media has not been cleaned before pumping, severe damage
to the media can occur. This is potentially very costly to repair.

OWNER’S MANUAL
PLANT LANDSCAPING
Most owners plant grass over their Jet Plant. Many owners prefer planting
a flower bed. Myrtle, pachysandra or shrubbery is also attractive. Do not
position anything permanently over below-grade access covers. They must
be accessible for service. (See drawings on page 2.) It is very important
that the finished grade slope away from the plant. Also, grade must be at
least 1” below the bottom of the manhole covers.
VACATIONS & INTERMITTENT USE
If your plant serves a vacation home or a building in which all occupants
will be absent part of the time, the plant should be left running and cycled
as it is during any absences. This will clean the Treatment Compartment
during the absence and keep the plant in top operating condition.

 Home Plant Owner Protection Program
The owner of a JET Wastewater Treatment Plant is assured of continuous, economical service by Jet’s aerator
warranty and exchange program and by a strong Jet Distributor program of warranty, back-up and service.
30-Month Limited Warranty
Jet Inc. warrants every new JET Aerator control panel media assem-
bly and any other material purchased from Jet against defective ma-
terials and workmanship, under normal service, for 30 months com-
mencing (i) upon date of original installation if a completed warranty
card is returned to Jet Inc. within 20 days from the date of installation
or within 20 days after the original purchaser moves into the resi-
dence serviced by the aerator or (ii) upon the date of shipment from
the factory if no warranty card is returned.
To make a claim under this warranty you should notify your Jet Dis-
tributor or notify Jet Inc. Customer Service Department, 750 Alpha
Drive, Cleveland, Ohio 44143.
Aerators and control panels must be removed and returned to the
factory by a Jet Distributor. If any in-warranty repairs are needed,
the aerator will be repaired at the factory with no charge for labor or
materials. The purchaser shall assume all responsibility for freight
charges to and from the factory. If there are missing parts, an addi-
tional charge will be made.
Media assemblies will be repaired/replaced by the Jet Distributor at
the installation. If in-warranty repairs are needed, the media will be
repaired/replaced with no charge for labor and materials.
The warranty does not cover standard model aerators and control
panels that have been damaged by water, or aerators that have been
(i) damaged due to disassembly by unauthorized persons, improper
installation, misuse, or lightning, (ii) subjected to external damage,
(iii) damaged due to improper or altered wiring or overload protec-
tion or (iv) damaged by failure to follow the suggestions outlined in
the Owner’s Manual.
20- Year Factory Exchange Program
As an additional indication of Jet’s confidence in the qual-
ity and durability of its aerators, the company currently
maintains a 20-Year Factory Exchange Program that sets
a ceiling on repair charges after the initial 30-Month Lim-
ited Warranty has expired - for 171/2 more years!
Under this 20-Year Exchange Program, an aerator more
than 30 months old can be exchanged for a newly-war-
ranted, factory rebuilt unit at a fraction of the then-current
listed price for a new aerator. This fractional price, shown
in the chart at the right, is determined by the age of the
aerator being traded in. Every exchange aerator shall be
covered by a new Limited Warranty as then in effect. An
additional charge will be made for freight and any miss-
ing parts. If a distributor’s Inspection/Service Policy is
not then in effect, you must pay any charges for removal
and reinstallation of the aerator.
The warranty applies only to the JET Aerator and does not include
any of the house wiring, plumbing, drainage, or any other part of the
disposal system.
JET INC. SHALL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY
DAMAGES CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS OR MA-
TERIALS, OR FOR LOSS INCURRED BECAUSE OF THE IN-
TERRUPTION OF SERVICE, OR ANY OTHER SPECIAL, CON-
SEQUENTIAL, OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR EXPENSES
ARISING FROM THE MANUFACTURE, SALE, USE OR MIS-
USE OF THE AERATOR. THE WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL
OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES. ANY WARRANTY IMPLIED
BY THE LAW, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MER-
CHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
(IF APPLICABLE), IS IN EFFECT ONLY FOR THE 30-MONTH
WARRANTY PERIOD SPECIFIED ABOVE. (SOME STATES DO
NOT ALLOW EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS OF INCIDEN-
TAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ALLOW LIMITA-
TIONS OF HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO
THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.)
The Company reserves the right to revise, change, or modify the
construction and design of the JET Aerator or any component part or
parts thereof, without incurring any obligation to make such changes
or modifications in present equipment. This warranty gives you spe-
cific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary
from state to state.

While Jet cannot promise that such a policy will be maintained
on all future sales, the fact that such a generous exchange pro-

a testimony to the quality built into every JET Aerator.

DISTRIBUTOR’S INSPECTION/SERVICE POLICY
Jet Distributors have agreed to provide free inspection and service on
all new JET Wastewater Treatment Plant installations for the first two
years of the Jet Aerator 30-month limited warranty period. This follow-
up is extra assurance that the new plant is “off on the right foot”. On
each inspection/service visit, a trained serviceman is instructed to thor-
oughly inspect the entire system - plant, equipment, and any options
installed - to observe the operation of the aerator, remove it and perform
any necessary maintenance, then reinstall it-to check the operation of
any optional equipment, such as chlorinator or upflow filter, perform
any necessary cleaning, backwashing and service - to thoroughly check
and test the control panel and adjust it if necessary - then, if possible to
make sure the plant discharge point is clear - lastly to examine the plant
effluent for odor and clarity.
The distributor has agreed to provide without cost, two free inspec-
tion/service and routine plant maintenance visits to your new plant each
year during the first two years. Except for charges for freight and miss-
ing parts, during this two-year period there is no charge for service or
repair calls, which include removal and reinstallation of in-warranty
equipment that cannot be repaired at the jobsite. During the remaining
six months of the limited warranty period, there is a charge for the dis-
tributor service call, but not for in-warranty repairs or parts.
Several times each year Jet holds a Factory Training Semi-
nar at the Cleveland, Ohio, factory. Attendance at one or
more of these seminars is required of distributors. Jet’s aim
is that Jet Distributors and their servicemen understand the
operation and maintenance of the JET Plant and all its op-
tional equipment.
Jet Distributors have agreed to provide professional service
to their customers - to give the most efficient possible instal-
lation and back-up service for JET Plants.
Each distributor has agreed to keep records of the installa-
tion and inspection/service history on all his JET Plants to
insure prompt, efficient service to you.
The local presence of a licensed distributor is added assur-
ance that your JET Plant will remain in continuous smooth-
running service, giving you the best wastewater treatment
available and protecting your community against ground
water pollution.

In all cases, if it is necessary to return any equipment to the factory for

repair, the owner shall bear the cost of freight. This inspection/service
policy does not cover the cost to repair out-of-warranty damage. Out-
of-warranty repairs including parts, labor and freight must be paid by
the owner. Out-of-warranty damages include: (I) water damage of stan-
dard aerators, (11) damages due to disassembly by unauthorized per-
sons, improper installation, misuse or lightning, (111) external damage,
(IV) damage due to altered or improper wiring or overload protection,

1500 Series BAT® Media Plants
Jet Distributors are obligated to provide a free Inspection/ Service
Policy on all new installations for the first two years of the 30-
month limited warranty period.
Service, inspection and maintenance must be done every 6
months during the warranty period. It is strongly recommended
that the owner continue this Inspection/ Service Policy with
the distributor after the initial or any subsequent policies have
expired. It is also strongly recommended that the distributor, or
any of the distributor’s employees who have any contact with the
owner, encourage the owner to continually keep this policy in
force.
1. Inspection/service visits will be made to the installation every
6 months for two years at no charge.
2. All applicable jobs on the “Inspection/Service Checklist” will
be performed on each inspection/service visit.
3. There will be no charge for any special, non-scheduled
service or repair calls, including removal and reinstallation of
equipment that cannot be repaired at the job site.
4. If improper operation cannot be corrected at time of service,
owner should be notified immediately in writing and given
estimated date of correction and cost, if any.
5. If it is necessary to return any equipment to the factory for
repair, the owner shall bear the cost of freight.
6. No part of the house wiring is covered under the terms of the
warranty or the Inspection/Service Policy.
7. After the first two years, the distributor will offer each owner
an Inspection/Service Policy with terms identical to those
of the initial two-year policy. Distributor Inspection/Service
Policies are not given free of charge on newly warranted
factory exchange aerators, but only on new aerators. We urge
you to point this out to the owner and to strongly recommend
keeping an Inspection/ Service Policy in force with you.
8. Contact Jet for replacement parts and components. They are
listed on our price list.
The Owner’s Manual states the entire tank be pumped, according

more frequently in certain situations. Please point this out to the
owner
RECORD KEEPING
It is important to keep good records on service. Your records of
all Jet Plants must be maintained for the effective life of the plant.
INSPECTION/SERVICE CHECKLIST
Note: On 1000, 1250 and 1500 gpd plants, two aerators are used.
Each one must be kept on a separate circuit with its own control
panel. This checklist must be followed for each control panel and
aerator.
Plant Inspection
CHECK CONTROL PANEL
1. Turn control panel switch to “Cont” position—red visual alert
light on control panel cover should not glow.
2. If control operation appears to be normal, return panel switch
to original position. Once entire testing is complete, close
and latch panel cover.
3. If these tests are not satisfactory, check wiring and system
according to the separate literature sheet, ”Electrical Wiring
& Control Panel Instructions”, and the schematic wiring
diagram and control panel drawing on the inside of the
aerator control panel cover.
TAKING & ASSESSING SAMPLES
1. Collection and assessment of effluent samples are required
for all NSF Listed plants. There are four sample taking
means from which samples may be taken. For information
on “Effluent Sample Means”, see “Tank & Aeration
Installation” instructions on pg. 3. Here are the four means
and suggestions for taking samples from each:
A. Final Outlet Samples—clean off the inside bottom and
outside edge of the final outlet with a clean rag. Take a
clean sample jar and collect a free-flowing effluent sample
from the discharge pipe. Be sure the jar does not touch the
pipe.
B. Taking the Sample—remove the cover and pump out the
liquid in the lower arm of the cross. Clean off the lip of
the inlet arm that connects to the tank. Next, take a clean
sample jar and lower it so that it touches no part of the
cross and catches a free-flowing effluent sample.
C. Distribution Box Samples—remove distribution box cover
and clean off the inside bottom and outside edge of the
inlet line with a clean rag. Take a clean sample jar and
collect a free-flowing effluent sample from the inlet line.
Be sure the jar does not touch any other surface.
D. Baffled Outlet Samples—remove cover on tank top or
riser. Lower a clean sample jar into the open top of the
outlet tee or baffle. Slowly and gently submerge the
sample jar until it is 1/32” beneath the surface so the
effluent fills the jar very gradually. Slowly remove the jar,
being careful not to let it touch any other surface.
2. To evaluate a sample, smell the sample and hold it up to the
light to observe color, turbidity and any solids or floating
scum. If examination shows the effluent is not up to standard
quality, do the following:
• Wait 2 weeks. Then, take and evaluate a new effluent
sample.
• If effluent is still not up to standard quality, look for
causes and corrections by following all suggestions and
procedures in “Troubleshooting Plant & Equipment”
instructions.
• Wait 2 weeks. Then, take and evaluate a new effluent
sample.

 PLANT INSPECTION SERVICE POLICY
WANT TO MAKE MORE MONEY?
After a Jet Plant’s initial free two-year inspection service policy has expired, the
distributor must offer a continuing policy to the plant owner. It can add new income to
your business. Everything you need to know to get started is presented below.
Before the initial free two-year inspection service policy has expired, begin selling a
continuing policy to your customer. If you are not presently selling inspection and
service renewals, you’re missing out on revenues and you’re forcing your customers to
risk expensive repairs. Inspection and service provided under this policy are identical
to those made under the initial policy.
Inspection Service Policy renewals are profitable. They add steady new income to your
business, and that new income grows every year as your Jet Installations increase.
You set your own prices for inspection service policies. Based on labor, materials,
estimated traveling time, and desired profit. If the plant has a chlorinator, it should be
included in the policy at an additional charge. To help you calculate the
chlorinator service charge, see the chart on page 3 of the “JET-CHLOR® Tablet
Chlorinator Model 100 Installation and Operation Manual.” It shows you how often
the chlorinator requires restocking.
To share in this profitable service policy revenue, just set up a standard policy sales
program. Develop a database for each installation. Then, mail a new or renewal policy
letter two months prior to the current policy’s expiration date. For reference, please see
Sample - First Policy Letter and Sample - Renewal Policy Letter. Be sure to enclose
your filled-out service policy with your letter and ask to have a signed copy returned to
you along with a check. If you have not heard from your customer three weeks after the
first mailing, resend the first letter and clearly mark it “COPY.” If another three weeks
passes with no response, phone the customer on the day the current policy expires.
Stay after that customer! Customers often don’t act after the initial letter. Persistence
pays off! After receiving a copy of the first letter and a phone call from you, every
customer who is willing to be sold should be sold.
Besides being motivated to add new profits to your business, you have another
big incentive to sell inspection service policies: every Jet Plant in your area will be
operating properly, and all those satisfied customers and health officials will build your
reputation and increase your sales.
HOW TO SET UP A SUCCESSFUL, PROFITABLE SERVICE
PROGRAM
• Completely fill out “Installation and Service Record Card” at time you install the Jet Plant..
• Create a “Plant Inspection Service Policy” database.
• Develop a mailing program to sell new and renewal policies
• Supply all your service personnel with policies to sell to customers when they service
installations not covered by a policy.
• Train all employees to properly service Jet Plants.
• Provide your service personnel with all the tools required for effective field service.
• Provide your service personnel with inspection call checklist.
• Tie in your service calls with other trips in the same area.
• When necessary, phone the plant owner to schedule service before going on a service call to
make certain access will be available.
• Carry exchange aerators and parts on each service calls.
• Take along service tags to notify customers that a service person was there. It is vital to notify
owners each time service has been provided.

 Aerator Silencer
1500 Series BAT® Media Plants
WHISPER-QUIET OPERATION
Sometimes, when a Jet Plant is located near a building, the sound of the aerator may be objectionable. In these
cases, installation of a Jet Aerator is recommended. The silencer is a disc-shaped device that is installed inside
the mounting casting above the aerator. The sound-absorbing qualities of the silencer reduce the aerator sound
to a whisper.
Engineered specifically for Jet Systems, the Jet Aerator Silencer has many outstanding features:
• Easy to Install. Takes only a few minutes to set in place inside the mounting casting.
• Never Needs Replacing. Constructed entirely of synthetic materials specifically for this application. It will not
corrode or deteriorate.
• Protected from Breakage. Installed within the mounting casting, it is completely protected from lawn mowers,
children, vandals or other equipment.
• Out-Of-View. Neatly hidden inside the mounting casting, the silencer does not detract from the plant’s
appearance.
• Minimum Maintenance. A simple hosing off during routine maintenance is all that’s required.

HOW THE SILENCER WORKS

The Jet Silencer works on the same principle as the muffler on your car or lawn mower. It acts as an expansion
chamber to decrease the air velocity, but not the volume. In addition, the sound waves are both cancelled and
absorbed by the baffles designed into the silencer.

Hose Adapter INSTALLATION

Silencer or “2” Hose
The silencer can be used on either a flood proof or standard aerator
model. It is designed to fit only in a regular Jet Mounting Casting.
1. Remove aerator mounting casting cover.
2. Position electrical cable below aerator top.
3. Remove aerator’s outside air hose, if one is installed. Outside air
hose runs from top-center of aerator to vent in cover.
4. Place silencer so hole in bottom fits over hose adapter in aerator
top. If there is no hose adapter, install one end of 2” hose
(supplied with silencer) in hole in top of aerator. Install other end
of hose in hole in bottom of silencer.
Hose Adapter 5. Position indent of silencer lip in recess in edge of aerator
or “2” Hose
Silencer mounting casting. Silencer should lay flat.
6. If extension riser(s) is/are used, silencer must still be located on
top edge of aerator mounting casting.
7. Replace aerator mounting casting cover.

Extension MAINTENANCE

maintenance. Clean out small “weep” hole in silencer bottom with
small nail. Reinstall silencer according to instructions.

 ONSITE WASTEWATER EFFLUENT
UV DISINFECTION UNIT MODEL 3G

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

I. First, unpack the unit and check for any damage in shipping. There are 7 sub-
assemblies that comprise the UV system, which are:

1.Disinfection, chamber – 3 inch ABS with 4-inch

inlet and outlet hubs.
2. Disinfection subassembly – anodized aluminum
frame, pure fused quartz sleeve, Teflon® cover,
packed inside the disinfection chamber.
3. PVC handle for disinfection subassembly.
4. Long Life_ UV lamp-packed inside the PVC
handle.
5. Riser pipe 4 inch ABS with a ¾ inch PVC
nipple at one end. The PVC handle and UV
lamp are packed inside.
6. Electrical subassembly – junction box with pre
wired alarm board, electronic ballast, and UV
lamp power cable.
7. Two 4-inch Sch 40 ABS pipe couplings.

Note: Inspect the unit upon receipt and report any damage.

There will be some additional items needed for installation, which are:

1. ABS cement (also multi purpose cement if bonding to PVC pipe)

2. Silicone sealant
3. Teflon tape
4. Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol
5. Glycerin (available from drug stores)
6. Wires

A schematic drawing of the unit is shown in figure 1.

29
 DETAILED STEPS

1. Cut 4-inch riser pipe and lamp handle to meet job

needs. Use the 4-inch connection to the
pretreatment unit as a reference point. The lamp
handle upper end should be slightly below the ¾
inch nipple and the riser pipe.
2. Attach the threaded end of the lamp handle to the 1
inch threaded nipple on the upper end of the
disinfection subassembly, which is packed inside the
disinfection chamber. Teflon tape should be used to
seal the threads. Then remove the disinfection
subassembly by pulling the handle upward.
3. Bond the riser pipes and couplings and connect the
disinfection chamber to the upstream and
downstream (if any) pipes. The unit symmetrical
and either port can be used as the inlet (or outlet).
4. Inspect the disinfection subassembly. Using a clean, soft cloth and isopropyl
(rubbing) alcohol, clean the Teflon® cover and remove any fingerprints. Then
lubricate the rubber gaskets with either water or glycerin.

Note: Do not use silicone or petroleum based lubricants.

5. Slide the disinfection subassembly through the riser pipe into the disinfection
chamber using the handle. Make sure that the subassembly is at a right angle to
the inlet and outlet pipes, and that the holes on the upper hub of the subassembly
lock into two pins in the disinfection chamber. The orientation is very important
for successful UV unit operation.
6. The UV unit operates on 120 VAC single phase (50 or 60 HZ) power and
consumes 30 watts. A dedicated 10-15-amp breaker on the main electrical panel
should be used for service.
7. An electrical junction wiring diagram is shown in figure 2. Inlet power, ground
and alarm wires are fed through conduit to the ¾ inch nipple on the riser pipe.
Enough wire should be pulled through the riser pipe to reach about one foot
above it.
8. The wires should then be fed through the cord grip on the bottom sides of the
electrical junction box. The cord grip can accommodate five 12 AWG wires in
addition to those pre-wired.

30
 9. Attach the wires to the terminal block as shown in figure 2. The wiring
schematic is also shown on the inside of the junction box cover.
10. The alarm contacts are compatible with both normally open (N/O) and normally
closed (N/C) external alarm units (furnished by others). They accommodate up
to 120 volts and up to 500 milliamps. Select the common and the contact that
complies with the receiving alarm panel.
11. Tighten the cord grip, attach the four pin connector to the UV lamp and carefully
lower the lamp through the handle. Be careful to not damage the quartz tube
during insertion.
12. Lower the ballast so that it is loosely attached to the PVC handle by the two tie
wraps.
13. Place the electrical junction box on top of the 4 inch riser pipe. Tuck excess wire
into the riser pipe.
14. Turn the breaker at the main electrical panel on. The LED light on the side of the
junction box should now be on, indicating that the unit is operational.
15. Fill the recess in the bottom of the electrical junction box where the wires feed
into the cord grip with silicone sealant. Then replace the electrical junction box
lid.

INSTALLATION ALTERNATIVES

1. In ground – couple the 4-inch inlet

to the exit pipe of the pretreatment
unit, and couple the 4-inch outlet to
the drain field pipe.
2. Pump tank – couple the UV unit inlet pipe to
the pretreatment unit exit pipe at the
entrance of the pump tank.
3. Figure 1 shows that the electrical junction
box should be above ground level. If this
should pose a problem with lawn mowers,
the box could be placed below grade in an irrigation or water meter box; or an
artificial rock could cover the junction box.

The Junction box is rated NEMA 4X. However, to be safe it should be protected from
flooding.

In pump tank installations, care should be taken to prevent flooding of the junction box or
the ballast suspended below it.

31
 JET UV 3G DISINFECTION
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

The UV 3G disinfection unit is designed to provide long service life. It is

recommended that the UV lamp be replaced every two years to insure proper
disinfection. To replace the lamp:

1. Turn off the dedicated breaker located in the main

electrical panel that supplies power to the UV system.
2. Remove the electrical junction box and ballast from the
UV disinfection chamber and carefully set it aside.
3. Using the power line connected to the UV lamp, lift the
lamp out of the disinfection subassembly.
4. Disconnect the four pin connector attaching the power line to the
UV lamp.
5. Connect the new lamp to the four pin connector and completely
lower the new lamp into the UV subassembly.
6. Tuck the remaining power line into the riser pipe.
7. Make sure the ballast is still in position on subassembly handle and
insert the plastic section on the back side of the control center
enclosure into the top of the riser pipe.
8. Turn on the dedicated breaker located
in the main electrical panel that
supplies power to the UV system.

It is recommended that the disinfection subassembly

be removed and serviced a minimum of once per year to insure proper
effluent disinfection. To clean the Teflon® sheath and disinfection
subassembly:

1. Clean with a soft sponge and detergent.

2. Use isopropyl alcohol on a soft cloth to remove difficult stains like
finger prints and other films.

32
 TRUCK TALK
THE TRUCK
To start and expand their Jet Business, distributors need adequate trucks for tank delivery and setting. For this
job, the lightest truck recommended would be equivalent to the International 1700 series, the Ford 600 series, or
GMC 5700 models.
Tandem axle trucks may be desirable if heavy mud or snow conditions are frequently encountered. Tandem axles
generally perform well when the going is rough but they have the disadvantage of being difficult to maneuver in
tight areas. If the majority of the tank settings will be in built up areas or where little space is available, the single
axle truck may be the best choice.
All trucks should be capable of “off the road” operations and should have adequate bumpers so that they may be
either pushed or pulled by excavating equipment. Traction tires are definitely recommended on the rear axle.
Truck beds should have adequate space for Jet Tank Castings as well as the tank lid, riser sections, mounting
castings, tools and in many cases, a sampling box.

TANK HANDLING
Truck mounted equipment capable of handling the tank or tank sections is necessary. This equipment should be
capable of lifting the castings from the truck bed, moving them over the excavation and setting them in place.
Preferably, the equipment controls should be located at the rear of the truck. The job should be accomplished
either hydraulically, mechanically or electrically without depending on any manual power. Equipment which
requires the driver to push the load away from the truck by hand should not be considered.
Jacks or outriggers will be needed for supporting the truck when the load is over the excavation.

TRAILERS
To stretch delivery capacity and cut costs, a trailer to carry castings can be towed by the tank delivery truck.
Trailers can be loaded and unloaded by the tank handling equipment on the truck and can be used on jobs which
are close together or which require multiple castings. If two jobs are on the same route, the loaded trailer can be
left at the first job and then unloaded and towed home on the delivery truck’s return. The trailer and bed should
be of a size and capacity to at least carry a load equal to that of the delivery truck. If trailer use is anticipated, the
size of the truck engine and power train should be increased by 17,000 pounds. This assumes a 14,000 pound
maximum trailer load and a trailer weight of 3,000 pounds. Be sure to tell your dealer this is a “towed load.”

STATE REGULATIONS
Before making any arrangements for delivery equipment, check your state’s trucking regulations with the State
Highway Patrol, particularly in regard to overall length and axle loads.

33
TRUCK REQUIREMENTS

Recommended truck specifications for the various plants are listed in bold type. Extra capacity, even above
these recommendations, is always desirable. Absolute minimum specifications are given in parentheses. No
commercial plant can be hauled in one trip with-out a trailer, how ever the recommended 6’10” height allows for
delivery of two commercial castings per trip while anything less allows only room for one. The split home tank is
normally hauled stacked. If a 19’8” truck bed is available, it could be hauled end to end, thus reducing the height
requirement.

 BIO JET-7® WASTEWATER SYSTEM
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
This is the new BIO JET-7 System
As the primary decomposers of all organic waste, bacteria reduce in-
fluent solids and organics to harmless compounds of water and car-
bon dioxide. All wastewater treatment systems, from septic tanks to
large municipal and industrial plants, are designed around this bacterial
function.
The failure of a wastewater treatment system to meet its design param-
eters or discharge permit requirements is usually due either to 1.) an
insufficient bacterial population, or 2.) organic wastes which the exist-
ing bacteria cannot digest.
BIO JET-7® has been specifically designed to replenish and supple-
ment bacterial populations and functions in wastewater treatment sys-
tems. BIO JET-7® actually contains scientifically developed and pat-
ented bacteria strains which quickly degrade such difficult compounds
as detergents, tissue, fats, oils and greases. They also digest other waste
constituents such as starches, cellulose, protein and vegetable gum.
Regular application of BIO JET-7® to your system will help achieve
the system design effluent parameters while overcoming such related
problems as odor, fouled drain fields and excessive solids accumula-
tion.
In addition to dramatic improvements in system performance through
improved biological oxidation of organics, you can substantially re-
duce your plant maintenance costs with regular use of BIO JET-7®.
Savings through reduced labor, chemicals and equipment replacement
normally parallel plant improvement.
Regular applications of BIO JET-7® will control wastewater treatment
problems and reduce your maintenance costs while dramatically im-
proving the performance of your wastewater treatment system.
Instructions for Use
BIO JET-7® is available in one-gallon bottles, five-gallon pails and 55-
gallon drums. No pre-mixing is required. Simply shake well and apply
directly to your wastewater treatment system according to instructions.
DO NOT ALLOW YOUR BIO JET-7® TO FREEZE - temperatures
below freezing will reduce the number of bacteria by half. In larger
systems, BIO JET-7® should be introduced by a chemical metering
pump, or by a drip feed device. For best results, simply follow the
detailed instructions provided in this brochure for your specific type of
wastewater treatment system or facility. For facilities not covered here,
or for more information, contact your local JET dealer. Or contact JET
INC., 750 Alpha Drive, Cleveland, OH 44143.

Routine maintenance requires daily feeding of BIO JET-7® into waste-
water treatment systems at various parts per million (ppm) dosages,
depending on the type and capacity of your system. One ppm of BIO
JET-7® translates into 1 gallon of BIO JET-7® per million gallons of
water. In most cases, daily feeding rates of 2 ppm are required. This is
equal to 2 gallons of BIO JET-7® liquid for every million gallons of
water in your wastewater treatment system.
Why Wastewater Treatment Systems
Become Upset
There are several reasons why wastewater treatment systems
become upset and why imbalances occur. Bacteria are living or-
ganisms. Some care is required to maintain an environment for
them to live and work as decomposers of waste. Like human be-
ings, bacteria must have oxygen to breathe. They cannot live in
extremely cold or hot temperatures, nor in acid or strong alkaline
solution. For example, pH is a common problem in wastewater
and should be maintained between 6 and 9 with an ideal pH
of 7.5. Temperature shock is also common. Bacteria can live in
wastewaters with varying temperatures from 45° to 100° F. Op-
timum temperatures would be 75° to 90° F. Oxygen is required
by bacteria to oxidize waste with minimal requirements of 1
milligram per liter, and 2 to 3 milligrams per liter for overcom-
ing shock loads. Toxic chemicals also kill bacteria and diminish
their population. BIO JET-7® provides numerous benefits due to
its ability to degrade detergents, fats, oils and greases, and other
compounds. However, it cannot overcome severe toxic loadings
of hydrocarbons, phenolic compounds, or household pesticides.
An additional factor in poorly operating wastewater plants is hy-
draulic overload. Hydraulic overload occurs when wastewater
passes through the plant too rapidly and does not allow the bac-
teria adequate time to eat and digest or metabolize food.
BIO JET-7® not only improves system performance. It can also
overcome shock loads and kills. BIO JET-7® rapidly reestablish-
es a healthy bacterial population with improved waste oxidation
capabilities, insuring continuous optimum plant performance
when applied to properly designed plants in which parameters
for oxidation are maintained.

How to Seed an Inactive
Wastewater Treatment System
BIO JET-7® establishes and reestablishes biological colonies in
new or killed systems.
Application Rate: initially, dose with 2 to 3 times the feed rate
that is normal for your type of wastewater system. Dose at this
rate for 2 or 3 days. Once the bacterial colony has been estab-
lished, follow the normal maintenance dosage recommended in
this brochure for your type of system.

ume to the daily inflow. For every million gallons of this total,
add 3 gallons of BIO JET-7® each day for 3 days, and 1 gallon
each day for the next 4 days. 36
Imhoff Tanks
Because of the process, Imhoff Tanks experience a variety of
problems, including heavy concentrations of grease, inadequate
decomposition of sludge, heavy solids accumulation, and nox-
ious odors.
Augmentation of the tank with BIO JET-7® greatly improves
biological oxidation and reduces or eliminates grease, oils, fats,
and odors. It also reduces BOD, COD and SS. Add
BIO JET-7® by feeding into the line preceding the wet well or
lift station at a continuous rate of 2 ppm based on daily flow.
If feeding is not practical: pour 3 gallons per day for the first
3 days directly into the wet well or lift station.
For normal maintenance and to keep the system operating
properly: continue to add BIO JET-7® at the above rate of 2
ppm.
Industrial Wastewater Systems
Most of the problems associated with industrial wastewater
systems are caused by waste streams that are difficult to de-
grade, lack of nutrients, inadequate dissolved oxygen, pH up-
sets, temperature shocks, inadequate bacteria population, and
toxic kills.
BIO JET-7® has proved very effective in industrial waste-
water plants where performance above operating parameters
is desired. BIO JET-7® will provide settleability, rapid plant
recovery, and reductions in final effluent for BOD, COD and
suspended solids.
If you are experiencing difficulty in achieving desired plant
performance, or if you require the use of such costly addi-
tives as defoamers, polymers, or ferric chloride: the use of
BIO JET-7® combined with recommendations from Jet’s tech-
nical representatives should prove most beneficial in achieving
optimum performance and chemical cost savings.
For normal maintenance: dose according to directions for the
type of system in use. See “Instructions for Aerated and Non-
Aerated Lagoons:”
Stabilization Ponds
Problems commonly associated with ponds include noxious
odors, flow variation, heavy grease loading, and surface accu-
mulations.
Use of BIO JET-7® in ponds greatly improves biological oxida-
tion of organic wastes. It reduces or eliminates odors and grease
and maintains stability.
Use a chemical metering pump or drip feed device to add BIO
JET-7® directly into the inlet of the pond or basin. If this is
impractical, BIO JET-7® may be added directly to the basin at
a rate of 2 ppm of daily flow.
For normal maintenance and to keep the system operating
properly: continue to add BIO JET-7® at the above rate to 2
ppm.
Agriculture Lagoons or Manure Pits
Problems commonly associated with agricultural lagoons or
manure pits include crusting of surface area, poor separation
of solids and foul odors. Addition of BIO JET-7® effectively
liquifies waste and provides significant odor reduction. Add
BIO JET-7® by diluting 1 pint of BIO JET-7® with 10 gallons
of warm water for each 1000 square feet of area. Apply daily
for first week.
For normal maintenance: apply same dosage once each
week.
Septic Tank Systems
Problems associated with maintaining biological activity in household
wastewater systems result from shock loading caused by household
cleaners, detergents, chlorines and disinfectants, heavy grease loads,
and vacation periods when the bacteria supply does not receive its
normal waste supply. These problems cause noxious odors, wastes
that are discharged before they are completely treated and tanks that
become overloaded with organic wastes.
Home wastewater treatment systems rely on a healthy, active bacteria
population to break down and degrade organic solids in the waste.
Once the bacteria population has been killed or drastically reduced,
additional problems develop in the total system, including toilet back-
up, clogged cesspools, filters, leaching fields, and leaching beds.
Application of BIO JET-7® to household systems provides effective
and continuous biological oxidation of all household waste products.
BIO JET-7® is specifically formulated to degrade fats, oils, greases,
cellulose, and detergents. Use of BIO JET-7® results in stable opera-
tion and minimizes or eliminates most problems.
Important: BIO JET-7® does not eliminate need for tank pumping.
Tanks should be pumped every 2 years. Add BIO JET-7® by pouring
it directly into the tank or sink drain, or by flushing it down the toilet.
For sluggish, blocked tanks: add 1 gallon of BIO JET-7®. NOTE: If
your tank has not been pumped for 2 years, do so before adding BIO
JET-7®.
For normal maintenance and to keep the tank operating properly:
add 1 pint of BIO JET-7® weekly.
Soil Absorption Fields, Cesspools, and Sand Filters
Inadequate biological activity in the septic tank allows partially treat-
ed organic solids and heavy grease loads to flow into the disposal area.
This causes blockage of the soil in both bottom and side wall areas,
eventually clogging the entire system. Sewage backups, surfacing and
costly repair will soon follow. The addition of BIO JET-7® provides
effective and continuous biological oxidation of organic solids in the
disposal area. Blocked or sluggish disposal areas require twice the
initial dosage and double the normal maintenance dosage required for
septic tanks. If the cesspool has not been pumped in 2 years, pump
before treating.
Add BIO JET-7® by pouring it directly into the cesspool or distribu-
tion box. If your system does not have a distribution box, BIO JET-7®
may be poured directly into the tank, sink drain or flushed down the
toilet.
For blocked or sluggish disposal areas: add 2 gallons of BIO JET-
7®.
For normal maintenance and to keep the disposal area operating
properly: add 1 quart of BIO JET-7® weekly.
A neglected septic tank system fails much sooner than a well main-
tained system. A conscientious maintenance program of pumping the
septic tank every 2 years and regular BIO JET-7® applications will
greatly extend the life of the system.
Pit and Concrete Vault Toilets
Both types of toilets have a limited amount of natural bacterial activ-
ity. Therefore, solids accumulate and cause odors. Augmentation of
these facilities with BIO JET-7® establishes and maintains biological
oxidation, reducing solids and minimizing or eliminating odors.
If possible, pump out the facility before adding BIO JET-7®.
To properly start bacterial action: add 1 gallon of BIO JET-7® and
cover the solids with 3” of water.
For normal maintenance and proper operation: add 1 pint of
BIO JET-7® weekly. Add water as necessary to keep solids cov- 37
Grease Traps
Grease traps are designed to prevent large volumes of grease
from entering the waste system. Grease and fats are not water
soluble. BIO JET-7® bacteria are capable of altering the physi-
cal and chemical properties of grease, making it water soluble.
The major problems experienced with grease traps are odor,
solid grease mats on the surface and cleaning difficulty.
For sluggish, blocked, odorous grease traps: add 1 quart of
BIO JET-7® initially to each trap.
If the trap is not accessible: pour BIO JET-7® into the nearest
drain leading to the trap.
For normal maintenance and proper operation: add 1 pint
of BIO JET-7® to each trap once a week. The drain(s) leading
to the trap and the trap itself may need treatment. If you add
BIO JET-7® directly to the trap and problems aren’t solved, the
drain(s) must be treated in addition to the trap. First, divide 1
quart by the number of drains leading to the trap and pour this
amount down each drain, and flush with water.
For normal maintenance and proper operation: divide 1
pint by the number of drains leading to the trap and pour this
amount down each drain once a week. If possible, apply during
a weekend or period of low flow.
Drain Lines, Down Pipes and Sumps
Accumulations of grease, fats, scum, sewage, and leaf debris
cause blocked lines and noxious odors. BIO JET-7® degrades
fats, oils, grease, and organic solids. The use of BIO JET-7®
minimizes or eliminates most problems.
For sluggish or blocked flows: pour 8 ounces of BIO JET-7®
down the drain line, down pipe or in the sump.
For normal maintenance and proper operation: add 2 ounc-
es of BIO JET-7® twice weekly. Apply one treatment during a
weekend or period of low flow.
Holding Tanks and Dump Stations
A continual buildup of solids in these facilities quickly causes
odors. Normal maintenance with BIO JET-7® prevents the for-
mation of noxious odors, enhances biological oxidation and de-
creases solid buildup.
To control odors and limit solids buildup in tanks up to 200
gallons capacity: add 1 quart of BIO JET-7® for each 50 gal-
lons of tank capacity.
For tanks over 200 gallons: add a total of 1 gallon of BIO JET-
7®. For normal maintenance of tanks over 200 gallons: add 1
pint of BIO JET-7® each week.
After each tank pumping: add 1 gallon of BIO JET-7® and 1
pint weekly thereafter.
For tanks under 200 gallons: add 1 quart of BIO JET-7® after
each tank pumping; no further dosing is required.

Fish Hatcheries
Ammonia and decaying feces and food cause fish fatalities, slow
growth and poor reproduction.
BIO JET-7® keeps fish healthy, reduces ammonia levels to safe
levels and promotes complete digestion of all excess food waste
and feces.
For fish hatchery problems such as ammonia concentrations
over .5 ppm, nitrate concentrations over 1.0 ppm, floor of race-
way covered with food, feces and slime or algae: add 1 gallon of
BIO JET-7® for each million gallons of water in the system.
For normal maintenance and proper operation of flow-through
systems: maintain a concentration of 1 gallon of BIO JET-7® for
each million gallons in the total system on a constant basis. (That is,
for every million gallons of water added, add 1 gallon of BIO JET-
7®.) Use a chemical metering pump or drip feed device.
For normal maintenance and proper operation of recirculating
systems: add 1 gallon of BIO JET-7® for each million gallons of
water initially in the system. Thereafter, add 1 gallon of BIO JET-
7® for each million gallons of water added to the system.
NOTE: BIO JET-7® may initially exert a high oxygen demand on
the system. While applying BIO JET-7®, monitor dissolved oxygen
levels in the system and maintain proper levels. Proper oxygen lev-
els can be maintained by increasing aeration or flow-through during
this period or by temporarily decreasing the fish population prior to
treatment with BIO JET-7®.
Composting Toilets
Compost toilets usually have very little bacterial activity. To start
bacterial action in a compost toilet, dilute 1/2 gallon of BIO JET-7®
with 1 /2 gallon of warm water and pour it on the bed of peat moss,
sawdust or woodchips. Then, cover the bed with 3” of water.
For normal maintenance and proper operation: add 1 /2 pint of
undiluted BIO JET-7® every week. Toilets with heaters normally
maintain temperature around 95°-100° F., which is perfect for BIO
JET-7®. Heaters set to higher temperatures should be adjusted so
they do not exceed 130° F., as higher temperatures may kill BIO
JET-7® bacteria.
