Course Content:        

                        Day 1: Troubleshooting:

The purpose of this course is to teach people how to systematically identify problems with malfunctioning onsite wastewater treatment systems.  The concept of flow charts is used and will help anyone involved in analyzing problems with onsite treatment systems including installers, regulators and private inspectors. A visit to an out door training facility may be included if time and weather allow.

 

                        Day 2: Hydraulics:

An increasing number of onsite treatment systems today utilize pumps (LPP, drip  dispersal, etc.) and associated components such as float switches, control panels, timers, alarms, etc.  This course will teach how these components work together to make a safe and properly operating pressurized system.  This information will be useful to anyone who designs, installs or inspects pressurized onsite systems.
