The Fusion ® is designed to treat household type waste and
can treat most common substances introduced into the
system. However, certain harmful substances may reduce
the efficiency or stop the treatment process by reducing or
destroying the beneficial bacterial populations responsible for
treatment. In general, if a chemical substance is considered
harmful to humans then it should also be considered harmful
to the Fusion ® treatment system. If you have any questions
concerning the use of any of these substances, please contact
your Fusion ® maintenance provider. The introduction of any
substance on the “Do Not List” into the Fusion ® will void
the warranty.

Fusion ® treatment system:
• Motor oil • Antifreeze

AUTHORIZED MAINTENANCE PROVIDER
Your authorized maintenance provider will perform many system
checks and adjustments as needed during the maintenance
inspection. Two inspections per year will be made for a total of four
inspections during the initial service policy. Please see the Operation
and Maintenance section of this manual for further details.
Should there be any operational deficiencies with your Fusion
® ,
the maintenance provider will notify the owner in writing when the
deficiencies will be corrected. If the maintenance provider does
not correct the deficiencies or the service calls are not completed,
please contact Clarus Environmental at 1-877-244-9340.
ALARM CONDITION
If an alarm condition occurs, please check the air intake area
around the blower and make sure no debris blocks the blower
intake. Remove the air filter cap by removing the screw from
the cap and then pulling on the sides of the top of the blower.
Remove the foam filter and gently tap against your other hand.
If it is very clogged wash it in warm, soapy water and dry well
before replacing. Reassemble filter and cap on top of blower.
Do not attempt to remove the blower housing or any other
parts from the blower. If the blower is operating properly, there
may be a high water condition within the Fusion ® . It may be
necessary to discontinue water use until the alarm condition
has been resolved. If the buzzer continues to sound or the
red light stays on, please contact your authorized Fusion ®
maintenance provider. The buzzer may be silenced by toggling
the black switch on the side of the alarm panel to “silence”.
The red beacon light will remain on until the problem has been
resolved.
POWER OUTAGE
Should you experience a power outage, the blower will not
operate and air (oxygen) will not be supplied to the Fusion ® .
If the blower is off for more than 24 hours, the lack of fresh
air will cause the treatment efficiency to decrease. During a
power outage, the Fusion ® will still allow effluent to flow, and
will not create a backup in the home. You may, however,
have a pump or dose tank with a pump on the outlet of the
Fusion ® , which requires power to pump the effluent to the
soil absorption field. If you have a system such as this,
please be aware of this condition and conserve water
accordingly.
Fusion ® Series systems are compact, efficient, and designed to
be installed in a typical residential/light commercial environment.
The final effluent leaving the system will typically be treated to the
secondary quality strength of *9 mg/L CBOD5 and 9 mg/L TSS.
EFFLUENT QUALITY
*Based on NSF/ANSI Standard 40 testing.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE FREQUENCY
Fusion ® Series systems are to be inspected and maintained
every six months under normal usage. The inspection and
maintenance are only to be performed by personnel trained and
authorized by Clarus Environmental. A Maintenance & Service
Report (CL0059) is to be completed for each inspection and
maintenance visit.
An extended maintenance policy is available for purchase from
your authorized Fusion ® distributor. The extended maintenance
policy will include the same system checks, schedule, and
adjustments as the initial maintenance policy. Please contact
your Fusion ® distributor or maintenance provider for further
information regarding the extended maintenance policy.
EXTENDED MAINTENANCE POLICY
INITIAL SERVICE POLICY

Standard 40, Class 1 certified systems) have a two-year service
policy included in the initial purchase price. The service policy will
include two inspections per year for a total of four inspections.
During these inspections, numerous system checks and
adjustments will be made to ensure proper operation.
