Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Installation Observations
911 Spring Park Road
Eagle County, Colorado
Permit Number OWTS-022444-2021
Scot,
CBO Inc. observed the installation of the onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS) on February 3,
2022 for the subject property. MCI Trucking and Excavating installed the system.
The OWTS design is based on 2-bedrooms in the Main House and 2-bedrooms in the Guest House. An
average daily wastewater flow of 600 GPD was used.
The 4-inch diameter SDR-35 and Schedule 40 sewer lines have double sweep clean outs and a
minimum 2% fall to the septic tank. The water line crosses the sewer line serving the Main House and
the sewer line between the septic tank and pump chamber. The water line has been sleeved with
Schedule 40 pipe 10’ on each side of the crossings. All sewer lines have tracer wire for future location.
The system installation included a 1500-gallon, two-compartment Infiltrator® poly septic tank with an
Orenco® Biotube Effluent Filter followed by a 500-gallon Infiltrator® poly pump chamber with an Orenco®
Biotube Pump Vault and an Orenco® PF3005 pump. Effluent filters in both the septic tank and pump
chamber must be cleaned annually, or as needed. The floats were set to dose approximately 80 gallons
each pump cycle. The control panel for the pump is in the mechanical room in the Main House. Valley
Precast out of Buena Vista performed start-up of the pumping system.
A 1.5-inch diameter Schedule 40 pump line was installed from the pump to an Orenco® automatic
distributing valve (ADV), model 6402. The ADV was placed at a high point in the system in an insulated riser
with access from grade.
Effluent is pressure dosed through 1.5-inch diameter distribution lines to two 10’ x 37.5’ beds. A minimum of
2-feet of sand filter material was installed in the over-excavated footprints. There was at least 6-feet of
undisturbed soil between each sand filter. A gradation of the sand media is enclosed.
Laterals were 1.5-inches in diameter with 5/32-inch diameter orifices facing down, spaced 2.5-feet on center,
installed on the GeoMat™ with the proprietary filter fabric over the laterals. Laterals were placed 2-feet from
the edges of the bed with 3.0-feet between the laterals. Three 39” wide GeoMat™ were placed on the 10-
foot wide beds.
Each 1.5-inch diameter lateral ends in a sweeping ell facing up with a ball valve for flushing. Valves were
placed in a 10-inch sprinkler box for access. Laterals were covered by a soil separation fabric and at least
1-foot of topsoil or other suitable soil able to support vegetative growth. Inspection ports were placed at
each corner of each bed. Ports may be cut to grade and covered with a valve box for access.
1-4-2023
The OWTS was generally installed according to specifications. This observation is not a guarantee of
workmanship and/or parts and materials. CBO Inc. should be notified if changes are made to the OWTS
in the future. Any additional OWTS construction must be according to the county regulations.
LIMITS: Observations are limited to components that are visible at the time of the inspection. The installer must
have documented and demonstrated knowledge of the requirements and regulations of the county in
which they are working. The quality of the installation is dependent on the expertise of the installer, soil
type, and weather conditions.
Please call with questions.
Sincerely,
CBO Inc. Reviewed By:

Subsurface Investigation and Onsite Wastewater Treatment System Design
2-Bedroom Residence + 2-Bedroom Guest House
911 Spring Park Road
Eagle County, Colorado
Scot,
CBO Inc. performed a subsurface investigation and completed an onsite wastewater treatment system
(OWTS) design for the subject residence. The 40.93-acre property is located outside of Basalt, in an
area where OWTSs are necessary.
Legal Description: Subdivision: SPRING PARK MEADOWS Lot: 8
Parcel ID: 2391-164-01-002
SITE CONDITIONS
The property is currently undeveloped. A 2-bedroom residence and detached 2-bedroom guest house
are proposed.
The residences will be served potable water from a community water system. The water line will enter
the property from the south. The water line will be at least 5-feet from any sewer line, 10-feet from the
proposed septic tank, and 25-feet from the proposed soil treatment area (STA).
The water line will likely cross a sewer line between the residence. The sewer line must be encased
within 5-feet on either side of the crossing. See Encasement Detail W4.0/2.
The proposed STA has a 10-15% slope to the southwest. The proposed area is covered with native
grasses and sage.
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.
SUBSURFACE
The subsurface was investigated on June 22, 2021 by digging two soil profile test pit excavations (Test Pits).
Visual and tactile soil analysis was completed by Carla Ostberg at the time of excavation.1
The materials encountered in Test Pit #1 consisted of dark brown topsoil to 2.0-feet, underlain by tan
calcareous clay matrix and cobbles to a maximum depth explored of 6.5-feet. No bedrock or groundwater
was encountered. Digging was difficult.
1 Carla Ostberg holds a Certificate of Attendance and Examination from the CPOW Visual and Tactile
Evaluation of Soils Training.
Page 2
The materials encountered in Test Pit #2 consisted of dark brown topsoil to 2.0-feet, underlain by an
calcareous clay matrix to a maximum depth explored of 8.0-feet. No bedrock or groundwater was
encountered. Digging was easier in Test Pit #2.
Estimated rock content is between 35-65% rock. Soil is classified as R-2. Option 2 (min. 2-feet of
secondary sand filter material and pressure dosing) will be used for this design. A long term
acceptance rate (LTAR) of 0.8 gallons per square foot will be used to design the OWTS.

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
Design Calculations:
Average Design Flow = 4 Bedrooms x 2 people/bedroom x 75 GPD = 600 GPD
LTAR = 0.8 GPD/SF
600 GPD / 0.8 GPD/SF = 750 SF
The OWTS design is based on 2-bedrooms in the Main House and 2-bedrooms in the Guest House. An
average daily wastewater flow of 600 GPD will be used.
For the purposes of this OWTS design, Benchmark Elevation at grade 7673’ (Finished Floor of the Guest
House) has been established as 100’. Finished Floor of the Main House will be 7674.5’. The sewer line
will exit the guest house at approximately 98’. CBO Inc. should be notified of any discrepancies or
problems with grade elevations of proposed components during installation of the OWTS.
OWTS Component Minimum Elevation
Primary Tank Inlet Invert Approximately 70’ from main house to septic tank /
min. 2% fall / min. 17.5” fall
Approximately 24’ from guest house to septic tank /
min. 2% fall / min. 6” fall
Automatic Distributing Valve Approximately 18’ from pump chamber to ADV /
min. 1% rise for drain back / min. 2.25” rise
Infiltrative Surface Approximately 22’ to farthest bed / min. 1% fall /
min. 2.75” fall to farthest bed
*Elevations are based upon standard OWTS installation practices. Component elevations may cha nge during
installation due to site conditions.

The system installation will include a 1500-gallon, two-compartment Infiltrator® poly septic tank followed
by a 500-gallon Infiltrator® poly pump chamber with an Orenco® Biotube Pump Vault and an Orenco®
PF3005 pump. The floats should be set to dose approximately 80 gallons each pump cycle, allowing
approximately 2 gallons of drain back. 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.

Pump Criteria 30.5 gallons per minute (GPM) 24 feet total dynamic head (TDH)
Effluent will be pumped through a 1.5-inch diameter pump line from the pump chamber 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 at a high point 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 exiting the ADV remain visible for future inspection and maintenance.
Effluent will be pressure dosed to through 1.5-inch diameter distribution lines to two 10’ x 37.5’ beds. A
minimum of 2-feet of sand filter material will be installed in the over-excavated footprints. There must be at
least 6-feet of undisturbed soil between each sand filter. 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 submitted to this office prior to obtaining the sand.
Laterals must be 1.5-inches in diameter with 5/32-inch diameter orifices facing down, spaced 2.5-feet on
center, installed on the GeoMat™ with the proprietary filter fabric over the laterals. Laterals should be placed
2-feet from the edges of the bed with 3.0-feet between the laterals. Three 39” wide GeoMat™ must be
placed on the 10-foot wide beds. All material associated with the GeoMat™ installation must be proprietary
products associated with the GeoMat™, including orifice shields and geotextile fabric. Manufacturer
instructions must be followed regarding installation of the GeoMat™.
Each 1.5-inch diameter lateral must end in a sweeping ell facing up with a ball valve for flushing. Valves
should be placed in a 10-inch sprinkler box for access. Laterals must be covered by a soil separation
fabric and at least 1-foot of topsoil or other suitable soil able to support vegetative growth. There shall be no
cobble-sized (<2.5”) or greater rock in final cover over the GeoMat™. Inspection ports must be placed at
each corner of each bed. Ports may be cut to grade and covered with a valve 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.

OWTS Permit provided by Eagle County Environmental Health 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.
Page 8
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 area. 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.
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.
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.
Excavation equipment must not drive in the 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
Page 9

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.

Residential Biotube® Effluent Filters
Applications
Our patented* 4-in. (100-mm) Biotube Effluent Filters, Biotube Jr., Biotube
Insert Filters, and Biotube Base Inlet Filters are ideal for residential septic
tanks and have a lifetime warranty. They prevent large solids from leaving
the tank, dramatically improving wastewater quality and extending the life
of residential drainfields.
Standard Features & Benefits
• Alarm available, to
signal the need for
cleaning
• Flow modulating
discharge orifices
available to limit
flow rate leaving
tank, mitigat-
ing surges and
increasing
retention time
• Custom and
commercial sizes
available
Effluent from the
relatively clear zone
of the septic tank,
between the scum
and sludge layers,
horizontally enters
the Biotube Effluent
Filter. Effluent then
enters the annular
space between the
housing and the
Biotubes, utilizing
the Biotubes’ entire
surface for filtering.
Particles larger than
the Biotube’s mesh
are prevented from
leaving the tank.

Biotube® ProPak Pump Package™
Technical Data SheetOrenco®
60-Hz Series Pump Packages General
Orenco’s Biotube® ProPak™ is a complete, integrated pump package for
filtering and pumping effluent from septic tanks. And its patented pump
vault technology eliminates the need for separate dosing tanks.
This document provides detailed information on the ProPak pump vault
and filter, 4-in. (100-mm) 60-Hz turbine effluent pump, and control panel.
For more information on other ProPak components, see the following
Orenco technical documents:
• Float Switch Assemblies (NSU-MF-MF-1)
• Discharge Assemblies (NTD-HV-HV-1)
• Splice Boxes (NTD-SB-SB-1)
• External Splice Box (NTD-SB-SB-1)
Applications
The Biotube ProPak is designed to filter and pump effluent to either
gravity or pressurized discharge points. It is intended for use in a septic
tank (one- or two-compartment) and can also be used in a pump tank.
The Biotube ProPak is designed to allow the effluent filter to be removed
for cleaning without the need to remove the pump vault or pump, simpli-
fying servicing.
Complete packages are available for on-demand or timed dosing sys-
tems with flow rates of 20, 30, and 50-gpm (1.3, 1.9, and 3.2 L/sec),
as well as with 50 Hz and 60 Hz power supplies.

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 L/sec.

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.

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 1 to seat against the valve bottom 2.
The opening 3 in the rubber flap disk aligns with an opening in the valve bottom to allow
flow to only one valve outlet. The stem 4 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 5. 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.

CRITERIA, call Orenco Systems, Inc. at 1-800-348-9843.
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.
Figure 3:
Automatic distributing valve assembly headloss curves
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.
Maintenance
Annually check for proper operation by following procedures listed in the Hydrotek Valve booklet
and system startup procedures listed above.
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 3: 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.
SOLUTION 4: 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.
SOLUTION 5: 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.
SOLUTION 6: 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.
2. PROBLEM: Water comes out of all the valve outlets
CAUSE: Stem and disk assembly not seating properly on valve outlet.
SOLUTION 1: Check for sufficient water flow. A minimum flow rate is required to properly seat
the disk as shown in Table 1.
SOLUTION 2: 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.
SOLUTION 3: Make sure that the operating outlets are not capped and that the flow to the operat-
ing zones are not restricted in any manner.
3. PROBLEM: Valve skips outlets or zones
CAUSE: 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.
SOLUTION 1: Keep the transport line full.
SOLUTION 2: 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.
CAUSE: The stem and disk assembly is being advanced past the desired outlet.
SOLUTION 1: 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.

Distributing Valves
General
Orenco’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.
Orenco 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.
