ECOPOD DESIGN NOTES: SEPTIC TANK: Primary/septic tank should be equal to one day’s design flow maximum of two days flow – FILTERS: There are NO filters installed for the Ecopod system ECOPOD TANK: E50-N up the 3 bedrooms (1,000 GALLON TANK) – E60-N 4 bedrooms (1,000 GALLON TANK) – E75-N 5 bedrooms (1,000 GALLON TANK) – _____ 6 bedrooms (1,500 GALLON TANK MUST BE CONCRETE AT THIS SIZE) – E100 - 7 bedrooms (______ GALLON TANK MUST BE CONCRETE AT THIS SIZE) – Larger go by design flow LIDS: All lids should be steel locking manhole covers (we are having problems with contractors not using the correct lids and mix-matching risers and lids and they don’t line up when we have to take them off and put them back on two times a year). RISERS: needs to be a minimum of 6” risers on any tank that the Ecopod goes in. BLOWER: The blower needs to be hard-wired to the Ecopod panel and it must have its own power source. AIR LINE: Needs to be shown on plan going out the riser to the blower unit. It can also go out the side of the tank. The Infiltrator tanks are not an issue, but concrete tanks should have the hole cast in place. Maximum distance that the airline can be run is 100’ but shorter is always better. VENT STACK: We supply the 4” vent stack. The vent stack needs to be shown installed by the inlet side of the Ecopod tank either coming out of the side of the tank, riser or through the lid. THE VENT NEEDS TO BE KEPT – AT THE HEIGHT OF THE SUPPLIED VENT. IT IS NOT TO BE CUT DOWN TO GRADE LEVEL. CONTROL PANEL AND AUTO-DIALER: CARBON FILTER: SAMPLE PORTS: If there is no pump tank, specify a sample port between Ecopod and field If there is a pump tank, verify that the inlet pipe to the pump tank is accessible for sampling and we can use that.
