2 OVERVIEW
What is an AWTS?
An Aerated Wastewater Treatment System (AWTS) is a small scale onsite sewage treatment plant.
An AWTS uses the processes of aeration followed by clarification to achieve biological treatment of
wastewater.
CE-1500EX is an AWTS designed to comply with AS/NZS 1546.3 and to meet each state and territory
in Australia’s regulatory requirements.
CE-1500EX Treatment System
CE-1500EX is designed to treat all household wastewater from the kitchen, bathroom, toilet and
laundry area and is capable of producing Advanced Secondary Quality Effluent as specified below.
The daily design flow rate of CE-1500EX is 1,500 L/day.
•BOD equal to or less than 10mg/L
•Suspended Solids equal to or less than 10mg/L
•Thermotolerant coliform less than 10cfu/100mL
What is BOD?
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) is a standard measure of water quality. It is a measure
of the amount of oxygen (mg/L) consumed by natural, biological processes, like bacteria,
which break down organic matter. A higher BOD indicates poor quality of water.

3 TREATMENT PROCESS
Sedimentation Chamber
This chamber is designed to physically separate the solids from the incoming water.
Anaerobic Filtration Chamber
This chamber contains a spherical-skeleton type of filter media. Through bacterial growth processes
on the surface of the filter media, biological anaerobic treatment thrives while suspended solids are
captured. Furthermore, the bacteria in this chamber convert nitrates in the recirculated water returning
from the aerobic chamber to gaseous nitrogen. The nitrogen then escapes to the atmosphere.
Aerobic Contact Filtration Chamber
The aeration chamber consists of an aeration upper section with contact media plates and a filter
media lower section. In the upper section, the board contact media adjusts inflow from the anaerobic
filtration chamber and organic matters are decomposed by micro-organism/bacteria on the contact
media surface. Also, organic matters are decomposed by micro-organism/bacteria on the filter media
surface while suspended solids are captured in the lower section. Furthermore, suspended solids
accumulated on the bottom are constantly transferring to the sedimentation chamber by a
recirculation air-lift pump.
Clarification Chamber
This chamber is designed to temporarily store treated water flowing from the aeration chamber. In this
chamber, the suspended solids settle to the bottom and are returned to the sedimentation chamber.
Pump Chamber
This treated water is ready for discharge.

4 MAINTAINING YOUR SYSTEM
Owner’s Responsibilities
The owner is responsible for:
•Ensuring the system is operating efficiently at all times;
•Promptly fixing the system when problems are detected;
•Ensuring the system is inspected and serviced quarterly by a qualified service technician;
•Ensuring the system is desludged when it is required.
To ensure the overall health and performance of your FujiClean wastewater treatment system,
Fuji Clean Australia recommends a desludge of the system every 3 years, or earlier if the
maximum accumulated sludge and scum levels are reached as specified by the manufacturer.
The desludge frequency will depend on sludge and scum accumulation levels, which varies
depending on usage. Your FujiClean service agent will measure the sludge depth at every
service interval and will advise you when desludging is required.
CAUTION: Any problems caused due to the neglect of the quarterly service being carried
out or disregarding when is time to desludge advice from your FujiClean service agent will
immediately void warranty.
Tips for Trouble-Free Operation
Below is a guide on good maintenance procedures, which you should follow:
•Keep your household’s water usage well below the system’s daily design flow rate.
•Do not switch off the power to the system even if you are going on holidays. If extended periods
of non-use are anticipated, contact your service agent.
•Do not use more than the recommended amounts of detergents.
•Do not put fats and oils down the drain and keep food waste out of your system.
•Do not put bleaches, disinfectants, whiteners, nappy, soakers, spot removers in large quantities
into your system via the sink, washing machine or toilet.
•Do not allow foreign objects such as sanitary napkins, nappies, baby wipes, and other hygiene
products to enter the system.
•Do not dispose of chemicals down the drain. The list below shows examples of chemicals
which are considered harmful to the system.
➢Medicines
➢Paint, Paint Thinners and Paint Strippers
➢Solvents
➢Pesticides and Herbicides
➢Motor Oil, Petrol, Antifreeze, Break Fluid and Other Automotive Fluids
Regular Maintenance
The effective operation of the system is dependent on regular maintenance. It is to be serviced
EVERY 3 MONTHS by a FujiClean authorised service agent.
Regular maintenance involves periodic removal of excessive sludge and scum build-up from the
system. The frequency of removal depends on the system’s loading.
Consumable parts for the blower such as air filter and diaphragms need to be replaced regularly. The
recommended replacement interval for these parts is between 12 months to 24 months.
Irrigation Area/Disposal
There are certain requirements and laws for the irrigation system for the disposal/reuse of the treated
wastewater. The irrigation system must be designed and installed by qualified professionals by law,
and in accordance with the requirements of your local, state and/or Australian standards.

5 OPERATION OF REMOTE ALARM PANEL
Normally when the system is operating correctly, only the green POWER LED is lit to indicate that
power is available.
Pump Alarm
If the pump fails to operate, the PUMP ALARM LED starts flashing in red and the alarm beeps. In
such cases, please contact the service agent and minimise your water usage until the problem has
been rectified.
Blower Alarm
If the blower fails to operate, the BLOWER ALARM LED starts flashing in red and the alarm beeps. In
such cases, please contact the service agent and minimise your water usage until the problem has
been rectified.
Muting and Resetting
The mute button can be pressed at any time to stop the remote alarm from beeping. This mute
condition will last 24 hours before the mute will expire and the remote alarm will begin beeping again.
Note the mute timeout period will reset whenever the mute button is pressed so the user can press
mute before going to bed to reduce disturbance during the night.
Once an alarm condition exists, the associated alarm LED will flash. Pressing the MUTE BUTTON will
only silence the alarm. If the “Fault” condition still exists then the fault will continue to be indicated.
However, should the fault clear then the alarm condition will automatically reset and both audible and
visual alarms will be cleared.
If at any stage a new alarm condition occurs the mute will be overridden also expire and the alarm will
begin beeping again.
CAUTION –WHEN THERE WAS POWER OUTAGE
With the battery backup remote alarm panel you will be notified by alarm beep when your
FujiClean system lost power. However when there was a power outage it is highly
recommended to check if the air blower and the submersible pump are still operating so
your FujiClean system works properly.
