`
`Interon®, Engineered Products Division of Little Giant Pump Company, (“Manufacturer”)
`makes the following Limited Warranty. This Limited Warranty extends both to the original
`purchaser and to any person(s) obtaining title to the original purchaser’s residence at
`which Manufacturer’s PowerSewer™ product is installed within the warranty period.
`
`Limited Warranty

`authorized by Manufacturer to assume for it any liability of any kind in connection with the
`sale or use of the products manufactured and sold by it.
`

`Interon® reserves the right to change or improve its products or any portion thereof without
`being obligated to provide such a change or improvement for units sold and/or shipped
`prior to such change of improvement. The Manufacturer may (but is not required to)

`defective product or part thereof in accordance with this Limited Warranty.
`

`
`• You must retain proof of purchase and installation documents. Completing and

`Owner’s Manual and Warranty Registration

`also complete and mail the registration card, which is enclosed, in your Homeowner Start-
`Up Kit, within ten (10) days after installation of the PowerSewer™ in order to register
`yourself as a purchaser. This is the best way to enable the Manufacturer to establish the

`
`Introduction
`
`Your home is equipped with a
`PowerSewer™, a low pressure
`sewer system that collects, grinds
`and pumps the wastewater
`discharged from your home to a
`gravity sewer main or to a remote
`treatment site.
`
`The PowerSewer is a
`state-of-the-art sewer system.
`What follows is important
`information that you need to
`know to minimize any inter-
`ruptions in your sewer service.
`
`Please take time and read the
`following information carefully.
`
`ESP
`Service Program
`Interon® offers a service program called
`ESP which is designed to anticipate and
`react quickly to any system failures,
`thus minimizing any inconvenience to the homeowner.
`
`esp
`
`How ESP Works
`In the event that an alarm condition occurs within the
`PowerSewer, specific details of the alarm condition are
`then transmitted by the homeowner’s telephone line, via
`a modem, to a monitoring center. Here, trained technicians
`will analyze the transmitted data and make an attempt to
`correct the alarm condition by transmitting a series of
`commands. If the alarm condition cannot be remedied by
`the modem, then a local field service technician shall be
`dispatched as quickly as possible.
`
`ESP Participation
`If your ESP Status light is ON, then your ESP service is
`in effect. If you are not participating in the ESP Service
`Program or your service contract has lapsed and has not
`been renewed, then the light will be OFF. If the light is
`OFF then you are responsible for contacting your own
`service provider.
`
`Care and Use
`This home’s PowerSewer™ is capable of grinding and
`pumping solids found in typical household wastewater. It
`is recommended that the following items not be disposed
`into the home’s sewer system through a drain, toilet or
`garbage disposal:
`
`NEVER DEPOSIT
`
`Bones
`Diapers
`Cloth
`Glass
`Metal
`
`Nuts
`Plastic
`Rags
`Rope
`Rubber
`
`Sand
`Sanitary
`Napkins
`Shells
`Tampons
`Towels
`
`WARNING
`Never to be disposed:
`
`Explosives
`Fertilizers
`Flammable
`Liquids
`
`Gasoline
`Grease
`Hazardous
`Chemicals
`
`Insecticides
`Paint
`Plastic
`Poisons
`Solvents
`
`Low Maintenance
`
`The PowerSewer is designed to require very little
`maintenance through its service life. It has an ultrasonic
`level controller which does not come in contact with
`the wastewater, unlike mechanical float level controllers
`which can stick and fail.
`
`All PowerSewer components are made of materials
`designed not to fail due to corrosion.
`
`The PowerSewer electronics will reset after power loss
`and also have built-in surge protection to ensure
`trouble-free operation.
`
`The PowerSewer has an electronic micro-controller
`which provides automatic liquid level control. The unit is
`designed to stagger the filling level to reduce grease
`build-up on the collection tank wall.
`
`Features
`• Non-contact level control
`• No moving parts to stick or fail
`• Self-testing for proper operation
`• Built-in surge protection for electronics
`• Reduces grease build-up by
`staggering operating levels
