High quality workmanship and easy maintenance have been incorporated into the Fusion ® system. The system will provide years of trouble-free service when maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

HOW A FUSION® SERIES TREATMENT SYSTEM WORKS The Fusion ® is simple in design, yet advanced in its wastewater treatment ability. The design has been refined over many years of intense research and development in an effort to perfect this superior treatment system. Fusion® systems are 90% 95% efficient at treating wastewater. This is nearly twice as effective as a traditional septic tank, which is approximately 50% efficient.
PAGE 3
PROCESS DESCRIPTION 1. Sedimentation Chamber This chamber is designed to physically separate solids from the incoming water. Scum is the floating material and sludge is the material that has settled at the bottom. 2. Anaerobic Chamber This chamber contains a spherical skeleton-type filter media, 4.3 inch diameter (109 mm). Through bacterial growth processes on the surface of the filter media, biological anaerobic treatment thrives while suspended solids are captured.
PAGE 4
A dataplate similar to the one in Figure 5 is located on the blower housing and the alarm panel. There is important information about the Fusion ® on the dataplate, such as the part number, model number, serial number, and hydraulic capacity. Please make a note of this information for future reference or in case you should need to contact your Fusion ® maintenance provider.
PAGE 5
HARMFUL SUBSTANCES INITIAL SERVICE POLICY 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.
PAGE 6
EXCAVATION AND INSTALLATION 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Excavate an area large enough for the Fusion® Series unit to be installed. See Figure 8 and Table 3 for the actual dimensions of the unit. Excavation dimensions are calculated by adding 12-18" (305-457 mm) to the length and width of the Fusion®. This will allow sufficient room for proper backfilling. Construct a 6" (152 mm) thick stone pad of either 1/4" - 1/2" (6-13 mm) diameter stone or concrete pad and level to within 1/8" (3 mm).

RISER AND LID BLOWER TO DRAIN FIELD CLEAN -OUT SEWER LINE AIR LINE OPTIONAL SEPTIC TANK INSTALLATION MAY BE REQUIRED BY LOCAL OR STATE REGULATIONS FUSION sk2650 BLOWER INSTALLATION AND PLACEMENT 1. The blower must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the product. 2. Place the blower where it is easily accessible for maintenance and inspection. 3.
PAGE 9
PIPING INSTALLATION ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 1. Connect house sewer pipe or septic tank outlet, if required, to the unit inlet. Make certain only household waste enters the unit (no foundation drains, gutter drains, floor drains, etc.). 2. Connect the outlet pipe to the outlet of the unit. HIGH WATER ALARM FLOAT INSTALLATION The Fusion ® alarm panel assembly includes a high water alarm float switch that is used to monitor the liquid level in the Fusion ® unit.
PAGE 10
BACKWASH FLOW ADJUSTMENT RECIRCULATION FLOW ADJUSTMENT The recirculation flow is designed to be 1.2-1.8 times that of the average design inflow. Table 4 indicates starting flow rates for each unit. However, fine adjustments may be necessary to ensure optimum performance. Setting the flow rate: • Adjust the flow using rates in Table 4. • The flow rate is adjusted by rotating the gray recirculation valve (2) and observing the flow at the pipe end.
PAGE 11
BLOWER TIMER SETTING Figure 16 Reset (factory default settings): Press Reset. Clock is set to 0:00 (midnight). Backwash Time is set to 2:00 AM. Backwash Frequency is set to 2 per day. Backwash Duration is set to 5 mins. To Adjust Clock & Backwash Settings: 1. Press Mode SW. Note the blinking arrow indicating "hr" under "Clock" at the right of the screen. 2. Press Set SW to select the current hour of the day. 3. Press Mode SW.
PAGE 12
FUSION® OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE The following steps are to be completed during each 6-month inspection. All information collected during the inspection is to be recorded on the Maintenance and Service Report (CL0059). Begin the inspection by recording the date, arrival time, weather conditions, purpose of the visit, water use, model number, serial number, the presence or absence of a septic tank, and the system owner and service provider information in the space provided on the report. 3.
PAGE 13
FUSION® OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE, continued 1. 2. 3. Transparency – A transparency reading more than 20 cm is preferred. Scum – Should not be present unless recirculation and/or backwash rate is too high or daily flow exceeds design capacity. To correct, reduce the recirculation and or backwash rate. Sludge – A range of 0” to 15” (0-38 cm) is preferred. Typically brown and settled, becomes gray to black as depth and digestion increases. More than 15” (38 cm) may require a reduction in recirculation rate.
PAGE 14
AERATION CHAMBER CLEANING 1. Aeration The aeration system must be flushed every maintenance visit. There are two flushing methods: (A) Air flushing and (B) Water flushing. Air flushing must be done every maintenance visit. Water flushing may be done if there is a sign of clogging in the Aeration Chamber (e.g. abnormal increase in recirculation flow). Figure 18 FAUCET BACKFLOW PREVENTER (B) Water flushing. Air flushing must be done every maintenance visit.
PAGE 15
FUSION ® 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 ®.
PAGE 16
TROUBLESHOOTING 1. Odor Offensive odors are often the result of insufficient or inappropriate bacterial growth. Causes may include a young or unestablished system, insufficient air introduction, or the addition of detrimental chemicals or poisons into the system. Ensure the blower and air delivery systems are functioning. Check with the owner regarding chemical use and disinfection habits. Check all risers and lids to ensure an airtight seal. 2.
PAGE 17
Auto Stop Mechanism The Fusion® blower is equipped with an Auto Stop Mechanism designed to protect the motor in the event of a diaphragm rupture. If tripped, the screen display on the blower will remain functional, but the blower motor will not operate. Follow the directions below (Figure 24) to check and reset the Auto Stop Mechanism: 1. Turn off the blower's breaker in the control panel. Ensure that the blower motor has stopped and the unit does not have power. 2.
PAGE 18
DIAPHRAGM REPLACEMENT 1. Disconnect power to the blower and wait 5 minutes before continuing with service on the unit. 2. Remove the top to the blower (4 Allen head or Phillips head screws attach the top to the base). 3. Remove one of the diaphragm covers (4 Phillips head screws attach the cover to the motor). The cover should easily pull out of the base. 4. Remove the lock nut holding the diaphragm on (7/32” socket). 5. Replace diaphragm with new diaphragm. The diaphragm can only go on one way.
