A little more info on job duties...

• Professional Inspections (Semi-Annual/Annual): Unlike conventional gravity systems, engineered systems often need inspection at least twice a year by a certified technician to check pressurized driplines, blowers, and pumps.
• Pump & Alarm Service: Maintenance includes checking the pump's amperage draw, verifying that floats are calibrated, and ensuring the electrical alarm system operates correctly.
• Filters and Cleaning: Effluent filters and screens must be cleaned annually, including the spin filters in the drip headworks if applicable.
• System Controls: Regularly check the control panel and check for proper operation of blowers or aerators in aerobic treatment units (ATU).
• Drainfield Management: Keep heavy machinery and vehicles off the drainfield to prevent soil compaction and pipe breakage. Ensure no woody trees or deep-rooted plants are grown on the mound or bed.
