: Remove the scum first. If you remove the sludge first, the
water level will decrease and the anaerobic filter will be blocked by the scum.
Figure 22 - Anaerobic Chamber Pumping
Wastewater entering the Fusion ® contains organic and inorganic materials. If organic in nature, it is treated and decomposed by
microorganisms during the treatment process. If inorganic in nature, it will be stored within the Fusion ® . The stored materials
accumulate as scum (floating) or sludge (solids on the bottom) and must be removed periodically to ensure the performance of
the Fusion ® . Please review the Operation and Maintenance sections part B and C to determine when the maximum depths of
scum and sludge have been reached and pumping is required. Follow the procedures in Figures 21 and 22 to remove scum and
sludge from the sedimentation and anaerobic chambers only. When finished, refill both chambers with clean water to prevent the
possibility of flotation.

ALARM PANEL & BLOWER INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
1. Listen for loud rattling sounds. The blower should hum
softly. If a rattle is heard, ensure that all four legs
securely contact the ground or base medium.
2. Inspect the filter once the power has been disconnected
by removing the filter retention screw. Then, remove
the cover by snapping the filter cover off the top of the
blower. Clean the filter by knocking the dust out or by
rinsing with water to remove accumulated particles. Be
sure the filter is dry before reinstalling.
3. Ensure the correct time is shown on the blower's display
screen, keeping in mind that the display shows a
24-hour clock (not AM/PM).
4. Press the Manual Backwash button and ensure the unit
switches into backwash mode by observing the change
in water flow in the Fusion ® tank from the recirculation
return line to the sludge transfer line. Be sure to switch
the system back to recirculation by pressing the Manual
Backwash button again.
Inspect the alarm panel for signs of water or odors inside.
Toggle the test switch on the side of the box to check that both
the alarm horn and the alarm beacon light are operational.
Inspect the blower for proper operation. If the blower is not
functioning, refer to the troubleshooting section near the end of
this guide.
