Preface
We are all faced with a most serious problem, our Earth’s water supply. The problem
is not the amount of water available, the problem is mankind. Mankind is polluting our
precious water supply day by day. Statistics now show, worldwide, the percentage of
“fresh” water has been dangerously reduced to less than 1%.

Concern over the Earth’s water supply, the increasing worldwide pollution problems,
as well as the necessity of engineering “pollution prevention products” must become
the norm, not the exception. At the present rate of pollution, however, and the ever
increasing rate of water usage, mankind will soon find “fresh water” to be more
precious than gold. The steps we take now, and in the future, will mean the difference
between our children’s inheritance of an environmentally safe world with a plentiful
supply of fresh water — or not.

H2O, Inc. believes these issues to be of such importance, we have made it our
Mission to contribute to worldwide pollution prevention by introducing a powerful tool
into the market: The H2O, Inc. CRAPZAPPER. The H2O, Inc. CRAPZAPPER
addresses wastewater treatment for the Marine, Offshore, Commercial, Land Based
and Residential industries.

H2O, Inc. CRAPZAPPER: A quality product with proven performance doing its part to
Fight Pollution.

Introduction

The H2O, Inc. CRAPZAPPER line (formerly Owens Kleen Tank) began production and
manufacturing of wastewater treatment systems for domestic sewage over 40 years
ago. The original systems were designed primarily for ordinary residential
applications: single houses, trailer parks and small subdivisions.

With the advent of the U.S.C.G., OCS Order #8, the need of similar systems
modified for offshore and maritime applications became more critical. H2O, Inc.
(formerly Owens Kleen Tank) pioneered in the design and manufacture of such
systems.

This background of research, development, fabrication and service has resulted in the
present and complete line of packaged, ready-to-use, U.S. Coast Guard approved and
certified MSD — Type II Plants, approved for use on Inspected and Un-inspected
Vessels under 33 CFR 159.000. The H2O, Inc. CRAPZAPPER also complies with
International Maritime Organization (IMO) Resolution MEPC 159(55). These features
make the CRAPZAPPER The Preferred Choice for large vessels, as well as offshore
rigs and platforms. H2O, Inc. Offshore Units are readily adaptable for other
applications where their efficiency, simplicity and economical operation make them
very attractive alternatives to large expensive and complex sewage systems.
Examples of such applications are:

Alternative Uses/Applications
Large Boat
Barge
Over-Water Rigs, Platforms, & Shore Base Facilities
Recreational Use

The primary purpose of this manual is to describe the H2O, Inc. CRAPZAPPER line
of Marine Sanitation Devices (MSD) and to provide sufficient information, both
technical and general — to enable to Operator to enjoy many years of trouble-free,
efficient operation. Within this manual you will find information designed to guide you
through the installation, set-up, operation, maintenance and storage of your new
system.
Before beginning the installation or operation of your CRAPZAPPER, please read this
manual thoroughly. YOU CAN DAMAGE YOUR CRAPZAPPER DURING
INSTALLATION, so follow all instructions carefully. In order for your system to
operate at peak conditions, you must first understand how it operates and the
function of each part of the system.
General Terminology & Criteria

The packaged wastewater treatment plants fabricated by H2O, Inc. are generally
referred to as “Extended Aeration” systems. This means H2O, Inc. systems
incorporate the biological concepts of “Activated Sludge”, in the form of “Mixed Liquor
Suspended Solids” (MLSS).

The efficiency of such plants is typically defined in terms of the treated effluent
discharged from the system. The U.S.E.P.A. describes the minimum level of
effluent quality in four (4) major parameters:
USEPA Effluent Parameters

• Biochemical Oxygen Demand — 5 Days (BOD5)


• Suspended Solids (SS or TSS)
• Fecal Coliform Bacteria
• PH

The least stringent effluent criteria are applicable to offshore Federal Waters and Open
Ocean. The most stringent criteria are applied to inland waterways, lakes, bays,
dockside use, etc. in the vicinity of heavily populated areas and sensitive recreation
and protected nature areas.

The original U.S. Coast Guard Certified Type II MSD plants were designed to produce
effluent in the range of 50 milligrams per liter (mg/l) BOD5 and 150 mg/l TSS. Most
extended aeration plants manufactured today will do much better than this. The latest
models of the H2O, Inc. CRAPZAPPER can produce sterile effluent with less than 20
mg/l of BOD5 and TSS.

Note: Determine the regulatory requirements for effluent quality, sampling and testing,
for your installation and location.

Offshore units are identified by model numbers corresponding to the number of


gallons of wastewater that will be treated in a 24-hour period. H2O, Inc. standard
model sizes range from a 34 GPD treatment capacity to 11,250 GPD. Custom
fabricated units, with non-standard dimensions and configurations are available,
however, to accommodate space restrictions and other legitimate considerations. The
system design and operation remains constant for both standard as well as non-
standard model designs.
Glossary of Terms

Aeration: To combine or charge a liquid with air to raise the level of oxygen in the liquid.
Raising this level supports the necessary life forms (bacteria, needed to decompose the
organic materials in the wastewater being treated.

Aeration Chamber: A unit chamber where the wastewater being treated is subjected to an
infusion of air.

Aerobic Bacteria: Bacteria that can only live in the presence of oxygen.

Anaerobic Bacteria: Bacteria that can only live when no oxygen is present.

Bar Screen: The Crapzapper’s catch basket for preventing the in-flow of non-dissolving
solids.

Bio-Mass: A composition of primarily living microorganisms introduced into the unit for
optimum decomposition of waste.

Black Water: Water that comes from the toilet systems of a facility and contains human waste.

BOD: Biochemical Oxygen Demand — the measurement of the dissolved oxygen used
by microorganisms in the biochemical oxidation of organic matter.

BOD5: The amount of dissolved oxygen measured for a period of five (5) days.

Chlorinator: A chlorine contact chamber for the treated effluent that retains the liquid for a
set amount of time to kill virtually all of the living microorganisms in the clarified effluent.

Chlorine low level switch: A weighted switch that indicates when chlorine tablets have
been depleted in the chlorine tablet feeder tube. Remove switch and add chlorine tablets to a
maximum of 8 to 10 tablets per tube then replace switch. (Do not jam switch into tube).

Clarifier: A quiescent environment where the treated effluent is retained for approximately four
(4) hours allowing solids to settle to the bottom where they are continually removed via the
sludge returns back to the aeration chamber until dissolved.

Dechlorinator: A dechlorinator contact chamber for treating effluent that has chlorine still in the
liquid from the chlorinator. This eliminates chlorine through the use of a carbon filter.

Diffuser Valves: Valves located at the top of the aeration chamber that controls the airflow
through the diffusers. One valve controls airflow to the internal up-flow filter and floating
skimmer, and the other controls the airflow to the aeration chamber.

Dissolved Oxygen: The amount of available oxygen in solution that is needed to sustain life.
This amount is dependant on pH, temperature, salinity and barometric pressure.

Extended Aeration System: A treatment system that forces air/oxygen into the material
being treated. This is done using a blower that forces air into the water.
Fecal Coliform Bacteria: Indicator organism used to determine the presence of harmful
pathogens in wastewater.

Fluffer Valve: The fluffer valve is located on the manifold mounted outside the unit. It controls
the cleaning of the up-flow filter and stirring up the sludge in the clarifier chamber to prevent
compaction of the sludge and clogging of the unit. (New models come equipped with a new up
flow filter that replaced the fluffer valve.)

Gray Water: Water that comes from areas other than facility toilets. Such examples are:
kitchen sinks, washers, wash down areas and showers.

H2O, Inc. Floating Skimmer: A patented device located in the clarifier used to break the
surface tension of the water, draw floating solids from the waters surface and return this
material to
the aeration chamber.

Sludge: Organic particles that accumulate in the treatment system that are suspended or
settled in the aeration chamber.

Sludge Return: Located in the bottom of the clarifier to draw off sludge and return it to the
aeration chamber.

Total Suspended Solids (TSS): A physical characteristic of wastewater that measures the
total solid content taking into consideration all floating matter, settle-able matter, colloidal
matter and matter in solution.

Up-flow Filter: Non-Clog up-flow mechanical device used to prevent the organic
materials/solids from passing up into the clarifier section.

Background
“Domestic Sewage”, sometimes referred to as “Sanitary Wastewater” refers to the
liquid discharge from facilities occupied by human beings in the course of their normal
living, working and recreational habits. For the purpose of this discussion, we do not
include industrial wastes or storm drains and runoffs.

The volume of domestic wastewater generated by the average person may vary
from less than 11 gallons per day (GPD), from ‘low flush’ (1.6 GPF) toilets only, to
as much as 100 GPD, for normal human activities in a 24-hour day. This volume of
water emanates from toilets, sinks, showers, bathtubs, laundry equipment, kitchen
appliances (such as garbage disposals), etc.

This wastewater is over 99% water! It is the remaining less than 1% of solids, which
may be present in soluble, insoluble, colloidal or suspended forms, and a very small
amount, which may be in the form of insoluble grit particles that are the cause for
concern. It is this 1% for which the degree of environmental awareness and the
need for concern over the protection of our Earths’ water has been generated.
Two (2) fundamental parameters are essential to the design and sizing of a
packaged wastewater treatment system. Those parameters are:

Design / Sizing Parameters

• Hydraulic Loading — simply the volume of water to be treated in a day;


• Solids often referred to as the “Biological or Organic Loading”.
This is simply the amount and nature of the small amount of solids in
typical domestic sewage.

Years of investigation and research have established very reliable, typical values used
in the sizing of these units to determine both the hydraulic as well as the organic
loading. For example, the average person, nationwide, generates about 100 GPD of
wastewater containing about 0.17 lbs of BOD5. The typical offshore employee,
however, eats a little more and a little ‘richer’, and uses a little less water, than the
average person at home or work. The design for this application would be for about
75 to 100 GPD and about 0.20 lbs of BOD5, per person, per day (if both “Black” and
“Gray” water is to be treated).

USCG MSD units were originally designed to handle “Black” water only, preferably
from low volume toilets and urinals. As an example, a MSD Type II Certified unit
could service the wastewater generated by a four (4) man crew, from ‘low flush’
toilets, at a rate of approximately two (2) gallons per flush and five (5) flushes per
day, per crew person.

Fact
Old standard toilets use approximately five (5) gallons per flush and the typical
person will flush from five (5) to seven (7) times per day. New standard toilets use
1.6 gallons per flush.

Note: If your unit is not producing the desired quality effluent after carefully reading
and following the Manual, check to make sure the rated capacity of your unit is not
being exceeded!

Section 2
Description & Operation Instructions
The H2O, Inc. CRAPZAPPER is a self-contained, “extended aeration”, biological
system that is delivered ready for use when site electrical and mechanical
connections are in place.

Construction

The plant is constructed of Carbon Steel (Stainless Steel optional), which is seam
welded and corrosion protected. The inside is coated with coal tar epoxy, and the
outside is coated with a three (3) part epoxy/polyurethane paint system. Internal
piping is schedule 80 CPVC.

The plant is comprised of four (4) main compartments:

 Aeration Chamber
 Clarifier Chamber
 Chlorine Contact Chamber
 Dechlor Chamber

Additionally, the following are major components of the plant:

 Inlet screening apparatus


 Blower/Motor for air supply
 Air distribution system including diffusers and airlift devices
 Floating surface skimmers
 System of weirs and baffles for velocity changes and
sludge retention
 Chlorinator (chlorine dispenser)
 Electrical control panel and wiring
 Discharge pump
 Up-flow filter baffle

Operation

Operation of the Aeration Chamber

Raw waste enters the system through the inlet screen and is fed directly into the
Aeration Chamber. In this compartment, the influent waste is intimately mixed under
constant agitation with incoming air through the diffusers from the blower.

This is the source of the essential oxygen and the origin of the term “extended
aeration”. The diffuser valve controls the volume of incoming air. The waste is in
intimate contact with the metabolizing circulating “bio-mass” which rapidly
metabolizes /oxidizes, and to some degree, flocculates the suspended, colloidal and
soluble organic materials introduced in the influent waste. A portion of the incoming
waste is utilized in the synthesis of new microorganisms, thereby allowing the
“absorption” / oxidation of additional organic material in an unending natural cycle.
The degree of oxidation/metabolizing of the solids are primarily a function of the
applied organic load and the availability of adequate dissolved oxygen over a period
of time. After approximately 24 hours detention time in the Aeration Chamber, and/or
a minimum of 80 cubic feet per pound of BOD5 of applied loading, a sufficient time
to effect the desired degree of treatment, the treated effluent is displaced by
incoming raw waste and flows into the Clarifier Chamber through the up-flow filter.

Operation of the Clarifier Chamber


The Clarifier Chamber provides a quiescent environment where the treated effluent
is retained for approximately four (4) hours. Most of the solids are kept in the
Aeration Chamber by the up-flow filter, and virtually all of the residual entrained
solids will be removed by simple sedimentation into the Clarifier Chamber. A small
amount of floating material may be carried away from the Aeration Chamber to the
Clarifier Chamber. This floating material is returned to the Aeration Chamber via
the floating skimmer. The slope of the walls is not less than 1.7 vertical to 1.0
horizontal. Settled sludge is returned from the hopper to the Aeration Chamber by
the skimmer following fluffing via the fluffer valve located outside the tank on the
manifold. The following specifications for this chamber shall be met:

 There shall be installed within the Clarifier Chamber a positive


scum and skimming re-circulation system consisting of one (1)
airlift skimming device, meeting the following specifications:

• The skimming device shall be of the positive airlift pump type,


located in a position to skim and return floating material to the
Aeration Chamber.
• The airline supplying air to the floating skimming device shall
be equipped with a valve to regulate the rate of return.
• The scum intake shall be equipped with a floating assembly,
which will enable exact positioning of the skimmer at water
level without placing the hand under the water.

The resulting clear effluent flows from the Clarifier over the effluent weir through the
Chlorinator into the Chlorine Contact Chamber.
Operation of the Chlorine Contact Chamber

In the Chlorine Contact Chamber, the clarified effluent is detained for approximately
one hour, killing virtually all of the live microorganisms still remaining in the clarified
effluent. The chlorine picked up in the chlorinator is an amount sufficient to kill the
live organisms and is dissipated in the Chlorine Contact Chamber so that the final
discharged effluent contains very little residual chlorine that might endanger anything
in the outside environment.
Operation of the Dechlorinator

In the dechlorinator, fluids coming from the chlorine contact chamber flow through a
carbon filter. This results in the removal of all traces of chlorine.

Note: The treatment capacity expressed in number of person per 24 hours


depends on the type of toilet used with the system. The above capacities are
based on the use of an approved toilet. These capacities are not guaranteed when
the H2O, Inc. CRAPZAPPER is used with unapproved toilets. H2O, Inc.
recommends using 1.6 gallons per flush toilet.
Installation
1. Select a suitable location to mount your H2O, Inc. CRAPZAPPER. Keep
the following in mind:
 A deck location with adequate structural strength to support the full
operating weight of your particular model. Refer to Table 1 below
for both empty and full weights. This weight is uniformly distributed
over a 4” channel
 Skid, constructed in accordance with applicable codes.
 These units are essentially weatherproof. They may be installed under a
shelter, such as a lower deck; or in the open, as on a top deck or on a
cantilever over the side. An overhead shelter is always preferred for the
convenience and protection of the Operator(s) conducting routine
maintenance and inspection.
 The unit should be mounted as near level in all four (4) directions as
possible. On motor vessels it is recommended that the unit be installed
with the long axis fore and aft.
 It is generally preferred to locate the unit at the lowest available level to
enable gravity feed into the unit and gravity discharge overboard of the
treated effluent. This eliminates the need for lift stations and discharge
pumps.
 The lifting eyes installed on the unit are designed to lift the empty weight of
the unit from a single point traveling block with four (4) hook slings.
Spreader bars are not required.
 The unit should be installed in a location that will be adequately
ventilated and has space around and above the unit to allow for
maintenance and inspection. For installation on an Inspected Vessel, the
H2O, Inc. CRAPZAPPER
 MUST HAVE ROOM for inspectors to check the unit label and operation.
 The unit must be securely anchored to the vessel, by means of screws
and anchor clips and into solid material. The unit(s) can be skid
mounted, in the same manner, if so desired.
 If installed in a location where freezing is a possibility, it should be
equipped with an approved heater. It should not be located where the
internal temperature will remain above 1200 F for prolonged periods. At
900 F, the microbial metabolism is about maximum. Even between 600
and 1050 F, their activity is still very high.

2. Once the unit is mounted, connect the following four (4) tie in connections
(Refer to Figure 1).
• Connect raw wastewater line to inlet
• Connect treated effluent discharge
• Vent. DO NOT VENT SEWAGE UNIT IN ANY CONFINED SPACE!
• Connect electrical power

3. The inlet connection is a 3” FNPT. Connect the inlet connection to the


customer provided wastewater piping.

4. The outlet connection is a 1 ½” CPVC pipe. Connect the effluent discharge


line to the discharge line to the 1 ½” diameter CPVC pipe extending out from
the dechlorinator.

5. The vent connection is a 3” diameter FNPT. Applicable codes and


regulations, such as MMS, USCG, etc, should be consulted relative to vent
piping. Avoid unnecessary valves, reducers, ells, etc, in the vent line. Keep
the following in mind during vent installation:
 Vent lines should exit the system vertically, if possible. This configuration
will eliminate the possibility of a slug of liquid getting trapped in a
horizontal vent.
 Vent lines should be located no more than five (5) feet above the
treatment system. Vents may not have sags or loops where
water can accumulate and clog the vent lines.
 Position your vent lines with care. Although a properly operating, well
maintained CRAPZAPPER will not smell bad, it would be wise to locate
your vent lines away from sleeping areas, kitchen areas, and high use
areas.
 Vent lines must remain free and clear for their entire length. Check
valves or “filters” must not be used. Condensation will accumulate in
vent line filters, causing blockage, and possible malfunction of your H2O,
Inc. CRAPZAPPER.
 Proper venting of your H2O, Inc. CRAPZAPPER is extremely
important. Restricted or inadequate venting can cause bubbling of the
water in your toilets and may drain the water from the toilet bowl.
6. Connect power source — Standard electrical power is 115/208-230 volt, single
phase, 60 Hz.
1. Constant running of the blower when Control Panel is set in the On
position will optimize the performance of the unit.
2. Blower may be set to run 15 minutes on and 15 minutes off when Control
Panel is set in the Automatic position.
3. The Discharge Pump is activated by the mechanical float switch when the
Control Panel is set in the Automatic position.

7. The most important item of your system is the air supply. The sewage
treatment system must have a continuous air supply to operate effectively. The
blower must be free of obstructions and have an ample supply of free air. Make
sure to use the supplied blower with your new H2O, Inc. CRAPZAPPER. This
system must have a continuous air supply to operate properly.
8. Now that the unit is on its foundation, with inlet, vent and discharge
connections being made, this unit must be filled with FRESH WATER PRIOR
TO INTRODUCING SEWAGE! Place a fresh water hose in the opening on
top, filling the tank until water begins to discharge from the 1 ½” discharge
connection on the Chlorine Contact Chamber.
9. The unit is now installed. Proceed to the Start-Up Procedure.

Start-Up Procedure

1. After a proper installation has been accomplished and all piping connections
have been made, (the inlet, outlet, and vent lines are properly connected, and
system has been filled with water) you may now proceed to step 2 of this Start-
Up Procedure. Refer to Figure 3 for locations of all internal sections.

2. Add Formula 101 and Formula 101 Enhancer — Add 2 oz. of each product by
flushing down the toilet.

3. Add Chlorine Tablets — Fill the chlorinator tube with chlorine tablets until full,
(approximately 1 pound) and reinsert tube. These systems are designed to
use 2 5/8” wastewater treatment chlorine tablets. Proper chlorine tablets
must be used. Pool grade chlorine is unacceptable.

CAUTION: Avoid breathing chlorine vapors. Avoid contact with skin


and clothing. Keep chlorine tablets in a clean, dry container,
preferably the original container in which they were received.

4. Ensure that Carbon Filter is inserted in Dechlorinator.

5. Electrical Connections — connect the power supply to the starter panel only! For
3 phase equipment, verify proper rotation prior to continuing on to the next
step.

6. Blower Operations — Start blower and observe internal operations of tank


by removing access covers on top of tank.

A. Aeration Chamber
1. Diffusers should be causing bubbling and rolling of water in
this chamber.
2 The one (1) return line should have a slow flow of water coming
from the line. Adjust associated valves, ONLY if necessary.

B. Clarifier Chamber
1. Water should be dropping into throat of skimmers approximately 1”
to 2”. Skimmer depth is ¼”-1/2” under surface of water to
skim properly. Adjust floats, ONLY if necessary.
Routine Maintenance
Your H2O, Inc. CRAPZAPPER is easily maintained by following this simple 6
point maintenance plan.

1. Formula 101 & Enhancer


When: Every two (2) weeks
Action: Add 2 oz. of each product to unit by flushing down
toilet.

2. Chlorine
When: Every two (2) weeks
Action: Check chlorinator tube and insert more chlorine tablets
as necessary.

3. Carbon Filter
When: Every six (4 - 6) weeks
Action: Remove and replace carbon filter in dechlorinator.

4. Fluffer Valve & Routine Inspection


When: Once a month
Action: Open external fluffer valve for 30 seconds maximum,
then close again. This will clean the up-flow filter. Open
Inspection Ports to ensure all bio mass is being returned
to the Aeration Chamber by means of the skimming
devices. The Routine Inspection section describes
proper operation.

5. Inlet Filter
When: Every three (3) months — six (6) months maximum
Action: Replace the inlet filter on the blower.

6. Pump Out and Flush Out Unit


When: Every six (6) months
Action: Pump out and flush out unit. Restart following Start Up
Procedures.
Routine Inspection
1.0 Open all Inspection Ports and observe operation. Locate the control valves
in the aeration chamber. These valves were preset at the factory and rarely
require adjustment. Proper adjustment is determined by observing a gentle
rolling of the water surface. The unit will not operate properly without
sufficient air! Too much air, however, will not create any problems in the
operation of your unit.
2.0 Locate the strainer basket at the inlet just inside the aeration chamber. If there
appears to be an abnormal collection of paper or trash in the strainer, simply
lift it off the retainer pegs, clean the basket and discard the trash, and replace
the Strainer Basket back on the retainer pegs. This procedure is rarely
necessary if users of your new CRAPZAPPER follow all manufacturers’
recommendations.

3.0 Locate the floating skimmers and the skimmer valve in the clarifier chamber.
Locate the end of the 2” discharge from the floating skimmer back in the
aeration chamber. There should be a small (one (1) or two (2) finger width)
stream constantly discharging into the aeration chamber. Observe the floating
skimmer in the clarifier chamber. Push it down lightly to be sure it is free
floating with the top of the barrel just below the water surface. Observe that a
small, but constant, flow from the surface is flowing into the barrel of the
skimmer. The skimmer valve should be in a slightly open position to produce
the desired constant small flow.

4.0 Locate the sludge return and the sludge return valve in the clarifier chamber.
Locate the end of the 3” discharge from the sludge return into the aeration
chamber. There should be a small constant flow from the Sludge Return,
identical to the small steady flow from the Floating Skimmer. Like the Floating
Skimmer, the sludge return Valve should be kept in a slightly open position to
produce the desired constant small flow. There should not be any surges of air
out of either the floating skimmer or the sludge return discharges.

5.0 Inspect blower inlet filter. Remove wing nut on Filter/Silencer. Remove cover to
expose filter element, replace filter if evidence of excessive build up of
dirt/dust/oil. Carefully read the Operation Manual (Section 3) for all operational
and maintenance instructions for the blower.

6.0 Locate the chlorine tube in the chlorinator. Check the chlorine tube to ensure
that partially dissolved tablets have not caked up in the cylinder (wash caked
material out of chlorine tube if buildup has occurred). Add new tablets as
necessary, insert chlorine tube into cylinder and replace cap. It should only be
necessary to add chlorine tablets approximately every two (2) weeks of normal
operation.
CAUTION: Avoid breathing chlorine vapors. Avoid contact with skin and
clothing. Keep chlorine tablets in a clean, dry container. H2O, Inc. strongly
recommends all chemicals be stored in the original containers in which they
were received. Exercise caution when opening the containers.

WARNING: Chlorine, water and hydrocarbons (oil, grease, etc) form an Explosive
mixture!
NOTES: When using sea- water or brackish water for flushing, it is virtually
impossible to accurately determine free chlorine in the effluent using typical
color-metric indicator kits. A much more sophisticated laboratory type method
must be used to determine the chlorine content called for in many required
periodic regulatory reports. Sea- water is frequently used for flushing and this
is acceptable with all H2O, Inc. CRAPZAPPER systems.

Occasionally, systems are ordered with liquid chlorinators. Carefully read


and follow all instructions furnished with these units.

7.0 Locate the carbon filter in the dechlorinator. Remove and check the carbon
filter to detect any excessive build up which may result in clogging the filter.
Replace the filter with a new one if excessive build up has occurred.

8.0 Some units are supplied with Dual Motor/Blower systems. If allowed to sit idle
for a long period of time, electric motors, air compressors, blower, etc, tend to
“freeze up”. This is especially true in high humidity and saltwater
environments. Dual motor/blower systems should be run on, at least, an
alternating weekly schedule. Some Operators alternate each 12-hour tour/shift.

9.0 Locate the 2” air check valve located in the blower discharge piping.
Occasionally, relief valves and check valves tend to “click”. To correct this
minor problem, turn the blower on and off rapidly, two (2) or three (3) times
until the “clicking” stops.

10.0 Occasional “wash-down” with fresh water and “touch-up” of external paint
surfaces will enhance the appearance and prolong the life of the unit. This
is especially true around the top inspection covers and in the vicinity of the
chlorinator.

11.0 Efficient operation of these systems depends upon a healthy, stable


population of microorganisms (primarily bacteria) and an adequate supply of
available oxygen (air) in the Aeration Chamber.

CAUTION: Disinfectants, antiseptics, strong commercial floor cleaners,


detergents, etc, are toxic to these microorganisms and must not be allowed to
enter these units! Biologically safe cleaners are now supplied by H2O, Inc. and
should be used exclusively. Please refer to Recommended Cleaners section.
12.0 Most operational problems can be straightened out with a phone call to H2O,
Inc..
Trained, experienced service personnel, however, are available at
competitive rates. For more information, please contact H2O, Inc., or your
local Authorized H2O, Inc. Distributor.

Basic Sizing Guidelines
As mentioned previously in the Background Information section, there are only two (2)
basic parameters that the prospective user needs be concerned about:
Hydraulic Loading: The volume of water to be treated in a 24-hour day.
Organic Loading: The amount of organic solids (BOD) in that volume of water
that needs to be removed.

There are obviously many other factors to be considered in the engineering and
scientific design of such systems. These factors, however, are primarily the concern
of researchers and manufacturers. The prospective user may be assured that
reputable manufacturers, especially those who have had their systems approved
and/or certified by monitoring and regulatory entities, have incorporated all of these
factors into the delivered units.

Shut Down Procedures

When winterizing or leaving the vessel unattended for more than three (3) months,
the sewage treatment system should be shut down. There are two (2) types of shut
down procedures: Dry Dock storage and Minimum Use storage.

1. Dry Dock Storage: If the vessel is to be shut down, and no electricity or


water will be available for your CRAPZAPPER, do the following:
• Shut off power to the blower.
• Close any valves going from vessel toilet to the system.
• Remove all sludge from the unit(s) by pumping the sludge into
an authorized waste disposal tank located at the marina.
• Rinse the unit(s) with clean, fresh water. DO NOT USE ANY
CHEMICALS TO CLEAN THE UNIT(S). CHEMICAL RESIDUE
WILL KILL ANY BACTERIA INTRODUCED WHEN THE
CRAPZAPPER IS RESTARTED.
• Close the discharge valve on the systems chlorinator section.
The system is now ready for Dry Dock Storage.

2. Minimum Use Storage: If the vessel is to be shut down, and electricity


and water will be available for the CRAPZAPPER, do the following:
• Leave the power on to the blower.
• Make sure that there are at least 2 — 5 gallons of water flowing
into the system weekly.
• It is important that the digestive process continues. By adding water
and air into the system, your CRAPZAPPER will go into a dormant
state, and not go septic. Without the water and air flow, your
CRAPZAPPER will begin to go anaerobic and turn septic, making
the system smell bad.
