Aeration Pump

Jet Inc. 700++ Aerator

The flood-resistant Jet Inc. 700++ Aerator is the only mechanical component in the 1500 Series BAT Media Plant and works in tandem with the BAT Media to provide complete biological processing. The aerator shaft spins and combines outside air with wastewater in the treatment compartment, flowing into the tank to provide oxygen for the treatment process. The dual-purpose foam restrictor protects the aerator by controlling foam created in the treatment chamber and also serves as a high-water alarm trigger. 800-321-6960; www.jetincorp.com.


Effluent Pumps

Clarus Environmental Model 142

The Clarus Environmental Model 142 effluent pump has a low-flow design originally engineered for septic tank effluent pump applications in which the pump, protected from septic solids by a filtered vault, moves effluent directly out of the septic tank without the need for an additional pump tank. Higher-flow pumps in that environment cause agitation within the septic tank and disrupt the sludge and scum formations. It produces a maximum flow of 18 gpm at 5 feet of TDH and can reach 62 feet at shut-off. It is available in 115 volts, has a powder-coated, cast iron housing and is capable of passing 1/2-inch spherical solids. 800-928-7867; www.clarusenvironmental.com.


Delta Treatment Systems ECOFILTER Pump Vault

The ECOFILTER Pump Vault tank filtration system from Delta Treatment Systems reduces biological loading and clogging and extends the life of downstream drainfields and STEP collection systems. Quick to install in new or existing tanks, the completely integrated and customizable unit is suitable for pumping effluent from single- or double-compartment tanks. Featuring a dual-compartment housing for simplex or duplex applications, it draws effluent from the clarified zone of the tank to minimize suspended solids passing through the pump system. It is constructed of high-density polyethylene with UV inhibitors for longevity, and the float stem bracket allows easy removal and adjustment of the float assembly. The easy-access design maximizes the filter surface area and simplifies filter inspection and maintenance by enabling filter cartridge removal without pulling the pump or vault. 800-219-9183; www.deltatreatment.com.
