Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Pro FloWastewater Treatment System.

Your new Pro Flo system uses the very best technology the industry

has to offer for individual on-site wastewater treatment. The Pro Flo

system is a mechanical, aerobic, wastewater treatment system that

processes household sewage into a clear odorless liquid within a 24-

hour time frame.The Pro Flo Models 500, 600, 800, 1000, and 1500

were certified against the ANSI/NSF Standard No. 40, approved and

listed by NSF International,and meet and/or exceed the criteria for a

Class I system to treat both black and graywater.

Pro Flo Aerobic Systems, LP has over 30 years of experience in the

wastewater industry. Our company works hard to keep costs as low

as possible, yet we stay on the cutting edge of technology by

continuously updating and offering consumers the very best products.

We are committed to producing a superior quality product that will

give you years of outstanding performance, and we are committed to

customer service and satisfaction.

Please help us by sending in your warranty card located at the back

of this manual.

Once again,thank you for choosing the Pro Flo. And remember,

“Start with the Pro, and end with the BEST!”

SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL

How Your New Treatment System

Functions

The Pro Flo Wastewater Treatment System is similar to large

municipality sewage treatment plants. It uses an extended aeration

activated sludge process. This type of treatment depends primarily

on the use of air. When air is introduced to the wastewater,it promotes

the growth of aerobic bacteria and other microorganisms that break

down the organic material found in regular household sewage.

Raw unsettled waste/water from your home enters directly into the

pretreatment tank. Inside the pretreatment tank,the solids separate

from the liquid and the liquid flows into the aeration chamber. Inside

the aeration chamber,simple hydraulic displacement is accomplished

by the introduction of air. Air is introduced into the aeration chamber

by passing from the aerator motor through the air diffuser and into

the system. This air promotes the growth of aerobic organisms in

much larger amounts than would naturally occur. It is these aerobic

organisms (bacteria) that break down the organic material. As the

wastewater leaves the aeration chamber, it enters the “quiet zone”

better known as the clarifier. No mixing occurs inside the clarifier.

In the clarifier,any“leftover”solids separate from the liquid and settle

to the bottom of the clarifier. This solid material is called sludge.

Sludge contains dissolved oxygen and the sludge bacteria are activated

by oxygen.This activated sludge is returned to the aeration chamber

where it is mixed and digested again.The sludge then mixes with

incoming wastewater. This mixture of returned sludge, wastewater,

and dissolved oxygen is referred to as mixed liquor.The mixed liquor

flows back into the clarifier, the solids separate and return once again

to the aeration chamber. This never-ending cycle produces a clear,

odorless, high quality effluent that is ready to be released to the

environment.

(See the diagrams on the following pages illustrating basic system

design and flow path.)
