    2. Model A100-HIP: 4,500 gpd
    3. Multiple filters may be installed in manifolds to handle larger flows. Use a Zabel Flow Control Plate Model FC100 to set the effluent flow to predetermined limits.
    4. TSS: Reductions in TSS within six months of installation - 50 to 90 percent. The higher the pre-filtered TSS the greater the percentage of reduction.
    5. BOD5: Reduction in BOD5 within six months of installation - 20 to 45 percent is dependent on the make-up of the wastewater.

  5. Materials: All materials are non-corrosive. Case & Lid - PVC; Filter discs - Polystyrene; Rods - Polyethylene; Nuts - Nylon. A100-HIP rods and nuts are stainless steel.

  6. New System Installation: Center the top of the 12 inch Filter Case under an outlet access opening at least 16 inches in diameter. PVC solvent weld the bell coupling to the 4 inch Schedule 40 PVC exit pipe of the tank as required by local code. The PVC outlet pipe should extend at least 18 inches beyond the outside face of the tank wall. If required to meet depth requirements, install a Zabel™ Extension Reducer and 4-inch Schedule 40 pipe to the bottom of the filter case. A riser to grade is recommended. High performance double stack (Model A100-HIP) filters and multiple filters installed in manifolds will require additional support and access.

  7. Existing System Installation: The filter may be installed in an existing septic tank if an outlet access opening already exists and the filter can be installed without damaging the existing tank. If a 4-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe does not extend into the tank, the filter can be installed utilizing a plumbing flange. If the existing septic tank cannot be used, the filter can be installed using a ZabeI™ Container Assembly Model CA100 or Zeus™ Basin System.

  8. Service: A professional onsite service company should perform all onsite system service.

  9. Service Method: Grasp the filter handle and pull the filter cartridge upward. A Zabel™ 36" T-Handle is available if required to reach filters more than 12 inches below grade. Hose off the cartridge into the tank and reinsert into the case. If required, the filter may be disassembled for further cleaning.

  10. Service Frequency: The filter requires cleaning when the septic tank is normally inspected and pumped as required by local regulation. The A100s are designed to slough most normal solids off the inside of the vertical disc dam walls and back into the tank when the effluent flow is in a resting state. Installation of an effluent filter may increase the frequency of service if the homeowner discharges materials that are harmful to the system.

  11. Warranty: The A100s are warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship for the life of the original purchaser. Zabel's™ liability is limited to repair or replacement of the part and in no event shall ZabeI™ be liable for any consequential damages of any kind.
