If water softeners are present in the home, Clarus Environmental
recommends the use of water and salt conservative models that are
installed and operated correctly. If you have questions about softeners,
contact the Water Quality Association at www.wqa.org. Contact factory
for installation details.
WATER SOFTENERS
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 1-800-928-7867.
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. Remove the 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.
Check the circuit breaker and make sure the blower circuit is on. Reset
the breaker switch if it has been tripped. If it continues to trip or the alarm
continues to remain on, contact your Fusion ® maintenance provider.
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.
FLOODING
If flooding of the Fusion ® occurs and the blower
or the alarm panel is submerged, please disconnect power at the
circuit breaker. DO NOT try to reconnect power to either the blower
or alarm panel once it has been submerged. Immediately contact your
authorized Fusion ® maintenance provider to inspect the Fusion ® , the
blower, and the alarm panel. Your maintenance provider will repair or
replace the components as needed.
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.
EFFLUENT QUALITY
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
The Fusion ® system is designed to function even if wastewater does
not enter it for extended periods of time. The power to the blower must
remain on during this time for the system to function properly. Weekend
use will not harm the system as long as the blower is on. Should
seasonal use require a complete shut down of the property, then it is
recommended that the blower be turned off. It is important to start up the
system in advance of actual occupancy to allow for normal treatment to
resume. Please contact your authorized Fusion ® maintenance provider
for further information concerning shut down and startup of the Fusion ® .
You may also contact your maintenance provider for the shut down and
startup services.
