Subsurface Investigation and Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Design
3-Bedroom Residence
TBD Maroon Mesa Road
Lot 14, Pinyon Peaks Subdivision
Garfield County, Colorado
Dave and Sheila,
Project No. C1512
CBO Inc. performed a subsurface investigation and completed an onsite wastewater treatment system
(OWTS) design for the subject residence. The 15.19-acre property is located outside of Carbondale, in
an area where OWTSs are necessary.
Legal Description: Section: 11 Township: 7 Range: 88 Subdivision: PINYON PEAKS SUB -1ST
AMENDED Lot: 14 15.19 ACRES
Parcel ID: 2393-113-03-014
SITE CONDITIONS
The property is currently undeveloped. A 3-bedroom, single-family residence is proposed.
The residence will be served potable water from a community water system. The water line enters the
property from the south. The route of the water line has not yet been determined. Since the OWTS
components are located to the south of the proposed residence, the water line must be at least 25-feet
from the proposed soil treatment area (STA) and at least 10-feet from the proposed septic tank.
The proposed STA location has an approximate 15% slope to the south. The slope changes farther to
the east to have a more southwestern slope, creating a path for drainage between the slope transition.
The proposed STA must be installed in the southern sloping area, to the west of the slope change. The
area is covered with pinyon trees and minimal vegetation due to the rock.
There should be no traffic or staging of material over the future STA site to avoid compaction of soils
prior to construction of the STA.
We anticipate difficult digging conditions. Consideration should be given to having a large
machine capable of digging through weathered bedrock to a depth of at least 6-feet below grade
for installation of both the septic tank and STAs.

SUBSURFACE
The subsurface was investigated on October 10, 2018 by HP/Kumar. A report dated December 5, 2018,
Project Number 18-7-633 documents the investigation (enclosed). Two profile pits were excavated and two
percolation tests were run. Profile Pit 1 consisted of 1-foot of topsoil underlain by weathered bedrock
(sandstone/siltstone) to a maximum depth of 3-feet where backhoe refusal was encountered. Profile Pit 2
consisted of 1-foot of topsoil underlain by weathered bedrock (sandstone/siltstone) to a maximum depth of 5-
feet where backhoe refusal was encountered. Percolation tests resulted in 40 minutes per inch (MPI) and 17
MPI.
Soils are classified as R-0. Without 4-feet of suitable soil, we are proposing an over -excavated, pressure
dosed sand filter with a minimum 3-feet of Secondary Sand Filter material. A long term acceptance rate
(LTAR) of 0.8 gallons per square foot will be used to design the STA.
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
Design Calculations:
Average Design Flow = 75 GPD x 2 people/bedroom x 3 Bedrooms = 450 GPD
LTAR = 0.8 GPD/SF
450 GPD / 0.8 GPD/SF = 563 SF
The new OWTS design is based on 3-bedrooms. An average daily wastewater flow of 450 GPD will be
used.
For the purposes of this OWTS design, Benchmark Elevation at grade 6848' (finished floor, lower level)
has been established as 100'. CBO Inc. should be notified of any discrepancies or problems with grade
elevations of proposed components during installation of the OWTS.

1 % fall = min. 3" drop)
Page 3
The 4-inch diameter, SDR-35 sewer line exiting the residence must have a double -sweep clean out and a
minimum 2% grade to the septic tank.
The system installation will include a 1250-gallon, two -compartment concrete septic tank with an
Orenco® Biotube Pump Vault and an Orenco® PF3005 pump in the second compartment of the septic
tank. The floats should be set to dose approximately 65 gallons each pump cycle, allowing approximately
1 gallon of drain back after each pump cycle. A pump curve is enclosed. The pump must be capable of a
minimum design flow rate of 28.4 GPM and a minimum total dynamic head of 21.6 feet with 5 feet
residual head at last orifice. The control panel for the pump must be located within line of sight of the septic
tank. We recommend Valley Precast out of Buena Vista be contracted for start-up of the pumping system.

A 1.5-inch diameter Schedule 40 pump line must be installed from the pump to an Orenco® automatic
distributing valve (ADV), model 6402. This pump line must have a minimum 1 % grade for proper drain back
into the tank after each pump cycle. The ADV must be placed a high point in the system and be placed in
an insulated riser with access from grade. Screened rock must be placed below the ADV to support the
ADV and to assure the clear pipes existing the ADV remain visible for future inspection and maintenance.
Effluent will be pressure dosed through 1.5-inch diameter distribution lines to (2) over -excavated, 10' x 28.5'
unlined sand filters with a minimum of 3-feet of sand filter material. Sand filter material must be clean,
coarse sand, all passing a screen having four meshes to the inch. The sand must have an effective size
between 0.15 and 0.60 mm. The uniformity coefficient must be 7.0 or less. Material meeting ASTM 33, for
concrete sand, with three percent or less fines passing 200 mesh sieve may be used. A gradation of the
sand media must be provided.
Laterals will be connected with a 1.5-inch diameter level manifold. Laterals used to disperse the effluent
must be surrounded by washed coarse screened gravel or crushed stone (minimum 6-inches below and
minimum 2-inches above laterals). All of the gravel or stone must pass a 2 '/2-inch screen and must be
retained on a %-inch screen. Laterals must be 1.5-inches in diameter with 5/32-inch diameter orifices
facing down, spaced 2-feet on center (OC). We recommend Orenco® Orifice Shields be installed on the
laterals at each orifice. Laterals will begin 2-feet from the edges of the filter, with 3-feet between each lateral.
Each 1.5-inch diameter lateral must end in a sweeping ell facing up with a ball valve for flushing. A soil
separation fabric should be placed over the gravel layer followed by approximately 1-foot of topsoil or other
suitable soil able to support vegetative growth. Inspection ports must be placed in the corner of each bed.
Ports may be cut to grade and covered with a sprinkler box for access.
COMPONENT SPECIFICATIONS
The component manufacturers are typical of applications used by contractors and engineers in this area.
CBO Inc. must approve alternative components prior to installation of the OWTS. Requests must
be submitted, in writing, to our office for approval prior to installation. Component technical data
sheets are available upon request.

The component manufacturers are typical of applications used by contractors and engineers in this area.
Alternatives may be considered or recommended by contacting our office. Construction must be
according to Garfield County On -Site Wastewater Treatment System Regulations, the OWTS Permit
provided by Garfield County Building Department, and this design.
INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR
CBO Inc. expects that the installer be experienced and qualified to perform the scope of work outlined in this
design. The installer must review this design thoroughly and coordinate with our office in advance of
installation. Any additional conditions in this design or county permit must be completed and documented
prior to final approval of the OWTS installation. Communication between the installer and this office is
expected throughout the installation.
INSTALLATION OBSERVATIONS
CBO Inc. must view the OWTS during construction. The OWTS observation should be performed before
backfill, after placement of OWTS components. Septic tanks, distribution devices, pumps, dosing
siphons, and other plumbing, as applicable, must also be observed. CBO Inc. should be notified 48 hours
in advance to observe the installation.
In an effort to improve the accuracy of the record drawing, we request that the installer provide a
sketch of the installation, including path of the sewer lines, water line installation (if applicable),
septic tank location, STA location, and measurements from building corners or another fixed
objects on the property. This sketch is most easily provided on Sheet W2.0 of the OWTS Design
Packet. Photographs of the installation and final cover are also requested to supplement our installation
documentation.
REVEGETATION REQUIREMENTS
An adequate layer of good quality topsoil capable of supporting revegetation shall be placed over the entire
disturbed area of the OWTS installation. A mixture of native grass seed that has good soil stabilizing
characteristics (but without taproots), provides a maximum transpiration rate, and competes well with
successional species. No trees or shrubs, or any vegetation requiring regular irrigation shall be placed over
the STA. Until vegetation is reestablished, erosion and sediment control measures shall be implemented
and maintained on site. The owner of the OWTS shall be responsible for maintaining proper vegetation
cover.
Page 5
OPERATION INFORMATION AND MAINTENANCE
The property owner shall be responsible for the operation and maintenance of each OWTS servicing the
property. The property owner is responsible for maintaining service contracts for manufactured units,
alternating STAs, and any other components needing maintenance.
Geo-fabrics or plastics should not be used over the STA. No heavy equipment, machinery, or materials
should be placed on the backfilled STA. Machines with tracks (not wheels) should be used during
construction of the STA for better weight distribution. Livestock should not graze on the STA. Plumbing
fixtures should be checked to ensure that no additional water is being discharged to OWTS. For example, a
running toilet or leaky faucet can discharge hundreds of gallons of water a day and harm a STA.
If an effluent filter or screen has been installed in the OWTS, we recommend this filter or screen be cleaned
annually, or as needed. If the OWTS consists of a pressurized pump system, we recommend the laterals be
flushed annually, or as needed.
The homeowner should pump the septic tank every two years, or as needed gauged by measurement of
solids in the tank. Garbage disposal use should be minimized, and non -biodegradable materials should not
be placed into the OWTS. Grease should not be placed in household drains. Loading from a water softener
should not be discharged into the OWTS. No hazardous wastes should be directed into the OWTS.
Mechanical room drains should not discharge into the OWTS. The OWTS is engineered for domestic waste
only.
ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION NOTES
If design includes a pump, weep holes must be installed to allow pump lines to drain to minimize risk of
freezing. The pump shall have an audible and visual alarm notification in the event of excessively high
water conditions and shall be connected to a control breaker separate from the high water alarm breaker
and from any other control system circuits. The pump system shall have a switch so the pump can be
manually operated.
Excavation equipment must not drive in excavation of the STA due to the potential to compact soil.
Extensions should be placed on all septic tank components to allow access to them from existing grade.
Backfill over the STA must be uniform and granular with no material greater than minus 3-inch.
LIMITS:
The design is based on information submitted. If soil conditions encountered are different from conditions
described in report, CBO Inc. should be notified. All OWTS construction must be according to the county
regulations. Requirements not specified in this report must follow applicable county regulations. The
contractor should have documented and demonstrated knowledge of the requirements and regulations of
the county in which they are working. Licensing of Systems Contractors may be required by county
regulation.
Please call with questions.
Sincerely,
CBO Inc.

Subject: Geotechnical Study for Foundation Design and Percolation Testing, Proposed
Residence, Lot 14, Pinyon Peaks Subdivision, Maroon Mesa Road, Garfield
County, Colorado
Dear Dave,
As requested, H-P/Kumar performed a geotechnical study and percolation testing for foundation
and septic disposal designs at the subject site. The study was conducted in accordance with our
proposal for geotechnical engineering services to you dated October 10, 2018. The data obtained
and our recommendations based on the proposed construction and subsurface conditions
encountered are presented in this report.
Proposed Construction: The proposed residence has not been designed but will be located on
the site in the area of Pits 1 and 2, as shown on Figure 1. Ground floors may be structural over
crawlspace or slab -on -grade. Cut depths are expected to relatively shallow and range between
about 2 to 5 feet. Foundation loadings are assumed to be relatively light and typical of
residential type of construction. The septic disposal system is proposed to be located downhill to
the south of the residence.
If building conditions or foundation loadings are significantly different from those described
above, we should be notified to re-evaluate the recommendations presented in this report.
Site Conditions: The site is located off the north end of the Maroon Mesa Road cul-de-sac in
open pinyon forest. The building site slopes down to the south at grades of about 5 to 10
percent. Below the building area, the grade is about 15 percent down to the south. There is a
low ridge of Maroon Formation sandstonelsiltstone bedrock located just to the north of the
proposed building area.
-2-
Subsurface Conditions: The subsurface conditions at the site were evaluated by excavating two
exploratory pits in the building area and two profile pits in the septic disposal area at the
approximate locations shown on Figure 1. The logs of the pits are presented on Figure 2. The
subsoils encountered, below about 1 foot of root zone, highly weather bedrock, silty sand with
rock fragments, consist of weathered Maroon Formation sandstone/siltstone bedrock down to
practical digging refusal to the backhoe at 4 to 4'/2 feet. The bedrock bedding is relatively flat.
No free water was observed in the pits at the time of excavation and the weathered rock was
slightly moist.
Foundation Recommendations: Considering the subsurface conditions encountered in the
exploratory pits and the nature of the proposed construction, we recommend spread footings
placed on the undisturbed natural weathered bedrock designed for an allowable soil bearing
pressure of 4,000 psf for support of the proposed residence. Footings should be a minimum
width of 16 inches for continuous walls and 2 feet for columns. Loose and disturbed bedrock
fragments encountered at the foundation bearing level within the excavation should be removed
and the footing bearing level extended down to the undisturbed natural weathered bedrock.
Exterior footings should be provided with adequate cover above their bearing elevations for frost
protection. Placement of footings at least 36 inches below the exterior grade is typically used in
this area. Shallow, frost -protected footings can also be used. Continuous foundation walls
should be reinforced top and bottom to span local anomalies such as by assuming an unsupported
length of at least 10 feet. Foundation walls acting as retaining structures should be designed to
resist a lateral earth pressure based on an equivalent fluid unit weight of at least 45 pcf for the
on -site weathered bedrock (minus 5 inch in size) as backfill.
Floor Slabs: The natural on -site weathered bedrock is suitable to support lightly loaded slab -on -
grade construction. To reduce the effects of some differential movement, floor slabs should be
separated from all bearing wails and columns with expansion joints which allow unrestrained
vertical movement. Floor slab control joints should be used to reduce damage due to shrinkage
cracking. The requirements for joint spacing and slab reinforcement should be established by the
designer based on experience and the intended slab use. A minimum 4 inch layer of free -
draining gravel should be placed beneath basement level slabs to facilitate drainage. This
material should consist of minus 2 inch aggregate with less than 50% passing the No. 4 sieve and
less than 2% passing the No. 200 sieve (3 -inch screened rock).
H-Pk-KUMAR
Project No. 18 7-€33
-3-
All fill materials for support of floor slabs should be compacted to at least 95% of maximum
standard Proctor density at a moisture content near optimum. Required fill can consist of on -site
processed soils and rocks devoid of vegetation, topsoil and oversized rock.
Underdrain System: Although free water was not encountered during our exploration, it has
been our experience where bedrock is shallow that local perched groundwater can develop
during times of heavy precipitation or seasonal runoff. Frozen ground during spring runoff can
also create a perched condition. We recommend below -grade construction, such as retaining
walls, crawlspace and basement areas, be protected from wetting and hydrostatic pressure
buildup by an underdrain system.
The drains should consist of drainpipe placed in the bottom of the wall backfill surrounded above
the invert level with free -draining granular material. The drain should be placed at each level of
excavation and at least 1 foot below lowest adjacent finish grade and sloped at a minimum 1 % to
a suitable gravity outlet. Free -draining granular material used in the underdrain system should
contain less than 2% passing the No. 200 sieve, less than 50% passing the No. 4 sieve and have a
maximum size of 2 inches (3/-inch screened rock). The drain gravel backfill should be at least
1 %2 feet deep.
Surface Drainage: The following drainage precautions should be observed during construction
and maintained at all times after the residence has been completed:
1) Inundation of the foundation excavations and underslab areas should be avoided
during construction.
2) Exterior backfill should be adjusted to near optimum moisture and compacted to
at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density in pavement and slab areas
and to at least 90% of the maximum standard Proctor density in landscape areas.
Free -draining wall backfill should be capped with about 2 feet of the on -site, finer
graded weathered bedrock soils to reduce surface water infiltration.
3) The ground surface surrounding the exterior of the building should be sloped to
drain away from the foundation in all directions. We recommend a minimum
slope of 12 inches in the first 10 feet in unpaved areas and a minimum slope of
3 inches in the first 10 feet in pavement and walkway areas. A swale may be
needed uphill to direct surface runoff around the residence.
H-Pa KU MAR
Project No 18-7-633
-4-
4) Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of all
backfill.
Percolation Testing: Percolation tests were conducted on October 18, 2018 to evaluate the
feasibility of an infiltration septic disposal system at the site. Two profile pits and adjacent
shallow percolation holes were dug at the locations shown on Figure 1. The test holes (nominal
12-inch diameter by 12-inch deep) were hand dug at the bottom of shallow backhoe pits and
were soaked with water. The soils exposed in the percolation holes are similar to those exposed
in the Profile Pits shown on Figure 2 and consist of about 1 foot of root zone over weathered
Maroon Formation bedrock. Results of a USDA gradation analysis performed on a sample of
excavated weathered bedrock (minus 1'/2 inch fraction) obtained from the site are presented on
Figure 3. The percolation test results are presented in Table 1. Based on the shallow bedrock,
the tested area is probably not suitable for a conventional infiltration septic disposal system. We
expect that a mounded system with a sand bed filter will be needed. An engineer should design
the septic disposal system.
Limitations: This study has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical
engineering principles and practices in this area at this time. We make no warranty either
expressed or implied. The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based
upon the data obtained from the exploratory pits excavated at the locations indicated on Figure 1,
the proposed type of construction and our experience in the area. Our services do not include
determining the presence, prevention or possibility of mold or other biological contaminants
(MOBC) developing in the future. If the client is concerned about MOBC, then a professional in
this special field of practice should be consulted. Our findings include interpolation and
extrapolation of the subsurface conditions identified at the exploratory pits and variations in the
subsurface conditions may not become evident until excavation is performed. If conditions
encountered during construction appear different from those described in this report, we should
be notified at once so re-evaluation of the recommendations may be made.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use by our client for design purposes. We are not
responsible for technical interpretations by others of our information. As the project evolves, we
should provide continued consultation and field services during construction to review and
monitor the implementation of our recommendations, and to verify that the recommendations
H-P KUMAR
Project No. 18-7-633

have been appropriately interpreted. Significant design changes may require additional analysis
or modifications to the recommendations presented herein. We recommend on -site observation
of excavations and foundation bearing strata and testing of structural fill by a representative of
the geotechnical engineer.
If you have any questions or if we may be of further assistance, please let us know.
Respectfully Submitted,
H-P KUMAR

Pump Curves
Pump curves, such as those shown here, can help you determine
the best pump for your system. Pump curves show the relationship
between flow (gpm or L/sec) and pressure (TDH), providing a graphical
representation of a pump's performance range. Pumps perform best
at their nominal flow rate, measured in gpm or Usec.

Using a Pump Curve
A pump curve helps you determine the best pump for your system. Pump curves show the relationship between flow (gpm or L/sec) and pressure
(total dynamic head, or TDH), providing a graphical representation of a pump's optimal performance range. Pumps perform best at their nominal
flow rate — the value, measured in gpm, expressed by the first two numerals in an Orenco pump nomenclature. The graphs in this section show
optimal pump operation ranges with a solid line. Flow flow rates outside of these ranges are shown with a dashed line. For the most accurate
pump specification, use Orenco's PumpSelect software.

Orenco Automatic Distributing
Valve Assemblies
For Wastewater Effluent Systems
Introduction
Orenco's automatic distributing valve assemblies, pressurized with small high -head effluent
pumps, are useful for distributing effluent to multiple zones. These zones can be segments
of sand filter manifolds, drainfields, or other effluent distribution systems. Distributing
valve assemblies can substantially simplify the design and installation of a distribution sys-
tem and reduce installation costs. This is particularly true where a distributing valve assem-
bly is used instead of multiple pumps and/or electrically operated valves. Additionally, a
reduction in long term operation and maintenance costs is realized due to a reduced size
and/or number of pumps. More even distribution can be achieved on sloping sites by zoning
laterals at equal elevations. This eliminates drainback to lower lines and the unequal distrib-
ution of effluent that occurs at the beginning of a cycle.
Valve Operation
The valve itself has only a few moving parts, requires no electricity, and alternates automati-
cally each cycle. Refer to Figure 1 for the following valve operation description. The flow
of the incoming effluent forces the rubber flap disk 0 to seat against the valve bottom 4.
The opening 4 in the rubber flap disk aligns with an opening in the valve bottom to allow
flow to only one valve outlet. The stem 0 houses a stainless steel spring which pushes the
rubber flap disk away from the valve bottom after the flow of effluent stops. The stem acts
as a cam follower and rotates the rubber flap disk as the stem is raised and lowered through
the cam O. The force from the flow of effluent pushes the stem down through the cam and
the stainless steel spring pushes the stem back up through the cam when the flow of effluent
stops. Each linear motion of the stem allows the rubber flap disk to rotate half the distance
necessary to reach the next outlet. When there is no flow, the rubber flap disk is in the "up"
position and is not seated against the valve bottom.

The Distributing Valve Assembly
The Orenco Automatic Distributing Valve Assembly combines the distributing valve itself and sever-
al other components to give a complete preassembled unit that is easy to install, monitor, and main-
tain. Figure 2 shows a complete assembly. Because distributing valves with several outlets can be
difficult to line up and glue together in the field, the discharge lines in the assemblies are glued in
place at Orenco. The unions (1) allow removal and maintenance of the valve. The clear PVC pipe
sections (2) give a visual check of which discharge line is being pressurized. The inlet ball valve (3)
allows a quick, simple method to test for proper valve cycling. The ball valve also stops the flow of
effluent in case the pump is activated unexpectedly during maintenance or inspection. Check valves
may be necessary on the discharge lines. Use of check valves is discussed in the valve positioning
section.
Valve Assembly Hydraulics
Liquid flowing through the valve assembly must pass through fairly small openings and make several
changes in direction. Because of this, headlosses through the valve assembly are fairly high. Table 1
gives the headloss equations for several different assemblies and Figure 3 shows the graphical repre-
sentations of these equations. Orenco recommends that high -head turbine pumps be used to pressur-
ize the valve assemblies to ensure enough head is available for proper system operation. High -head
turbine pumps are also recommended because the use of a distributing valve usually requires more
frequent pump cycling. The high -head turbine pumps are designed for high cycling systems and will
outlast conventional effluent pumps by a factor of 10 or more in a high cycling mode. Furthermore,
the high -head turbine pump intake is 12 inches or more above the bottom of the pump and tends to
prevent any settled solids from being pumped into the distribution valve and obstructing its opera-
tion. A minimum flow rate through the distributing valve is required to ensure proper seating of the
rubber flap disk. Minimum flow rates for the various models are given in Table 1.

The Pumping System
Although the distributing valve was designed for the irrigation industry, it has started to gain fairly
wide acceptance in the effluent pumping industry. However, because of the mechanical movements
of the valve, it is necessary to take steps to prevent solids from reaching the distributing valve that
may impede the operation of the valve. Orenco Biotube® Pump Vaults — when properly sized and
installed — provide the necessary protection to prevent valve malfunction. The Biotube® pump vault
accepts effluent only from the clear zone between a tank's scum and sludge layers and then filters
this effluent through a very large surface area screen cartridge. Without this protection in effluent
systems, the valve has very little chance of reliable long-term operation.

Valve Positioning
The physical position of the valve in relation to the pump and the discharge point is very important
for proper valve operation. The most reliable operation occurs when the valve is placed at the high
point in the system and as close to the pump as possible. The transport line between the pump and
valve should be kept full if possible. If the line is empty at the beginning of each cycle, pockets of
air during filling can cause random rotation of the valve. The valve is particularly vulnerable to this
erratic rotation with empty lines that are long and not laid at a constant grade. An ideal valve loca-
tion is shown in Figure 4.
If the final discharge point is more than about 2 feet above the valve and the system does not drain
back into the dosing tank, check valves should be installed on the lines immediately following the
valve and a pressure release hole or line should be installed just prior to the valve. This pressure
release hole or line can go into a return line to the dosing tank or to a "minidrainfield" near the valve.
In order for the valve to rotate reliably, no more than about 2 feet of head should remain against the
valve to allow the rubber flap disk to return to its up position. In many cases, it may take from one
minute to several minutes for the pressure in the valve to be lowered enough for proper rotation to
occur. Special care should be taken when installing systems controlled by programmable timers to
ensure cycling does not occur too rapidly. Figure 5 illustrates a valve assembly using check valves.
Pumping downhill to the valve should be avoided unless the transport line is very short and the ele-
vation between the discharge line out of the tank and the valve is less than about 2 feet. If the valve
is located many feet below the dosing tank, random cycling may occur while the transport line drains
through the valve at the end of the cycle. A pressure sustaining valve located just before the distrib-
uting valve may overcome this problem in some instances.

System Startup
Refer to the Hydrotek Valve booklet that is provided with the distributing valve assembly for the
sequencing of the valve outlets. The transport line should always be flushed with clean water before
installing the valve. Any sand, gravel, or other foreign objects that may have been in the pipe during
installation can easily become lodged in the distributing valve, causing malfunction.
With the pump running, alternately close and open the ball valve on the distributing valve assembly
to check proper rotation of the valve. (Note: If check valves are used on the lines after the distribut-
ing valve, the pump may need to be turned on and off to allow the pressure to be released from the
valve.) If visual operation of which zone is operating is not possible, watch the clear pipe on each
line for indication of which zone is operating.

Troubleshooting
1. PROBLEM: Valve does not change or cycle to next zone or outlet
CAUSE: The stem and disk assembly is not rotating when water flow is turned off and then
back on.
SOLUTION 1: Ensure that there is no debris inside the cam. Clean and carefully reinstall the cam.
SOLUTION 2: If fewer than the maximum number of outlets are being used, check the installation
of the cam. Ensure that the stem and disk assembly is not being held down by an
improperly installed cam. Refer to the cam replacement instructions.

SOLUTION 1:
Remove the valve top and check for proper movement of stem and disk assembly.
Check for and remove any debris or foreign objects that may jam or retard the
movement of the disk.
Check for freedom of movement of stem and disk assembly up and down over the
center pin in bottom of valve. Scale deposits may build up on the pin and hold stem
and disk assembly down. Clean pin and again check for freedom of movement.
Be sure that all operating outlets are not capped and that the flow to operating zones
is not restricted in any manner. This would cause pressure to build up in the valve
and lock the stem and disk assembly in the down position.
The backflow of water from uphill lines may be preventing the valve from cycling
properly. This can happen when the valve is placed too far below an elevated line.
If the valve cannot be placed close to the high point of the system, a check valve
should be installed near the valve in the outlet line that runs uphill from the valve
and a drain line installed just prior to the valve to relieve the pressure.
Water comes out of all the valve outlets
Stem and disk assembly not seating properly on valve outlet.
Check for sufficient water flow. A minimum flow rate is required to properly seat
the disk as shown in Table 1.
Remove the valve top and check the inside walls to ensure that nothing is interfering
with the up and down movement of the stem and disk assembly inside the valve.
Make sure that the operating outlets are not capped and that the flow to the operat-
ing zones are not restricted in any manner.
Valve skips outlets or zones
Pumping into an empty transport line — especially downhill — may cause the valve
to skip outlets from pockets of air allowing the rubber flap disk to raise during a
cycle.
Keep the transport line full.
If the line must remain empty between cycles, use a larger diameter transport line
laid at a constant grade to prevent air pockets from forming.
The stem and disk assembly is being advanced past the desired outlet.
Ensure that the correct cam for the desired number of zones is installed and that the
outlet lines are installed to the correct outlet ports of the valve as indicated by the
zone numbers on the top of the cam.

C;renco's Automatic Distributing Valve Assemblies are
mechanically operated and sequentially redirect the
pump's flow to multiple zones or cells in a distribution
field. Valve actuation is accomplished by a combination
of pressure and flow. Automatic Distributing Valve
Assemblies allow the use of smaller horsepower pumps
on large sand filters and drainfields. For example, a large
community drainfield requiring 300 gpm can use a six -line
Valve Assembly to reduce the pump flow rate requirement
to only 50 gpm.
C;renco only warrants Automatic Distributing Valves when
used in conjunction with High -Head Effluent Pumps with
Biotube® Pump Vaults to provide pressure and flow
requirements, and to prevent debris from fouling valve
operation. An inlet ball valve and a section of clear pipe
and union for each outlet are provided for a complete
assembly that is easy to maintain and monitor. Ideal
valve location is at the high point in the system. Refer to
Automatic Distributing Valve Assemblies (NTP-VA-1) for
more information.
