Power Outages

As with most systems relying on electrical power, there is a potential for disruption of operation during a power failure. The OMNI fail-safe design automatically defaults to standard mode in the event of a power failure, with no interruption to the use of the system. However, in the event that a power failure does occur, the performance features that make the system unique will not function properly, allowing wastewater entering the system to be discharged untreated, subsequently defeating the very purpose of the enhanced treatment.
During a power failure, the wastewater cannot be pumped to the Filter Modules and therefore, will accumulate in the Recirculation Tank. You should begin water conservation measures as soon as the power goes out. All systems are equipped with timers. The timer limits the frequency with which the pump starts and thereby limits how much effluent goes into the sand filter in a 24-hour period. It ensures the Filter Module only gets as much effluent as it was designed to handle. A timer controlled system will take care of itself once the power comes back on. In order to let your pump system catch up, continue to conserve water for 4-6 additional hours once power is restored.
If the High Water Alarm sounds when the power comes back on, this will indicate the wastewater has backed up into the emergency storage area of the Recirculation Tank. The alarm can be silenced manually and will shut itself off once the pump system has pumped the excess wastewater from the tank. This may take several hours depending on how long the pump was shut off. If the system continues to alarm after 24 hours of use (after power is restored) contact your service provider.
