Eco 1-60 Package
Introduction
A Mono Eco 1-60 Package has been installed on your
property. With your co-operation, this unit will provide
many years of safe, reliable operation. Your unit is an
important part of the Pressure Sewer System that your
local authority has put in place to handle your sewage
and ensure a cleaner local environment. Please read the
following to understand your package and know what
you need to do to ensure optimum operation.
Purpose of the unit
To collect the waste water from your toilets (sewage),
baths and sinks (grey water) and send it under pressure
into a Pressure Sewer System. This is a network of
sewage reticulation pipelines that transports it to a
Sewage Pumping Station and eventually a Sewage
Treatment Plant. Here the solids are removed and the
water is disinfected to a degree that it can be safely
released back into our environment.
How it works
Sewage ows by gravity (downward grade) into the wet
well section of a polyethylene tank buried in your yard.
As the sewage level increases in the tank it ows up a
level control tube positioned within the tank. Air pressure
within this tube increases as the sewage level rises and
when it reaches a preset high level, a pressure switch
sends a signal to a remote mounted controller to turn on
the grinder pump unit located in the dry well section of
the tank.
The pump action draws sewage up the suction pipe and
into the grinder pump where the integral grinding wheel
(bi-hammer macerator) turns the organic solids, paper
and other soft material into a slurry of small particles.
This macerated sewage is pumped out through a
discharge pipe into the pressure sewer system. It will
continue pumping until the level falls to the preset low
level. The pressure switch will then signal the controller
to turn off the grinder pump. This is all fully automatic and
requires no input from you, apart from ensuring that the
controller is turned on.
If sewage rises to a higher level in the tank, another “high
level “ tube detects this, and an audible siren and “strobe”
warning light warns that sewage has reached the preset
high level in the tank. See "What to do if high level alarm
is on" further on in this booklet.
NOTE
Never turn off the power to the controller (control panel)
while your premises are occupied except in emergency
situations.
Ensuring access to your tank
The tank is buried in a suitable position for receiving
sewage from your premises, with the lid slightly above
ground level. There is no need to remove this lid to
access the pump unit in the dry well or the collection area
in the wet well. However access must be ensured for the
maintenance technician.
• Do not plant shrubs or trees within 2 metres of the
tank lid.
• Do not place objects or structures on or over the lid.
• Do not allow grass or other coverings to obscure the
lid and in particular, ensure that the one way air vent is
free from debris.
• Do not drive or park vehicles on the lid.
Excavating adjacent to the tank
Danger
Electrical power lines and alarm wires are buried
underground between the tank and the remote
Controller. If you need to dig in this area contact a
technician to locate the lines. See contact details
on back page.
Caution
Contact with live power lines can cause death or serious
injury. A power isolating switch on the side of
the control box must be turned off before any
excavation begins.
You also need to be aware of the inlet pipe running from
your premises to the tank and discharge pipe running
between your tank to the sewer line outside your property.

Protecting your Grinder Pump Unit
The grinder pump will handle any waste water (sewage)
that is normally discharged from your toilets, bathroom,
laundry or kitchen.
Do not put any of the following into toilets, sinks or drains
as it may damage or affect the operation of the package.
• Glass, metal, wood, seafood shells or other hard
objects.
• Cloth or synthetic material.
• Any chemical other than standard cleansing or laundry
products including toxic, caustic, acidic or poisonous
substances.
• Degreasing solvents.
• Explosive or ammable material including hydrocarbon
fuels, paint thinner or anti-freeze.
• Oils and grease.
• Hair clippings.
• Sanitary towels or condoms.
While the grinder/pump may handle some of these items,
it is desirable to keep them out of the sewerage system.
What to do if high level alarm is on
Do not panic.
This alarm indicates that sewage has reached the high
level point, but in the standard tank there is still 600 litres
of emergency storage remaining.
Take the following steps.
• In the controller, set the audible alarm to mute to stop
the siren.
• Discontinue water usage in your premises unless in an
emergency.
• Wait 15 minutes to ascertain if the pump reduces the
level in the tank.
• If warning light goes out - the situation has corrected
and water usage can proceed as normal.
• If warning light remains on – contact technician. See
contact details on back page. Do not open the tank lid
or turn off the power.
In case of power outage (blackout)
Discontinue water usage, except in an emergency
situation, until power is restored.
Emptying a pool or spa
(Greater than normal bath size)
If you have added a pool or spa to your system after
installation of the Eco 1-60 PSS unit, you need to ensure
that they are not emptied at a greater ow rate than the
pump can handle. This is ensured by either putting ow
restrictions in the pool/spa discharge line to control the
ow rate or tting a extra storage tank before the PSS
unit. Please discuss this with your plumber or technician
as per the contact details on back page.
If premises is being left unoccupied for a lengthy
period
If the premises is being left unoccupied for a lengthy
period, for example going on holidays for 5 days or more
run a tap within your premises, stopping after the grinder
pump turns on. The Grifter unit will then pump down to
the low level ensuring the tank holds a minimum quantity
of clean water and cleansing the pump of sewage.
This ensures that sewage is not left in the tank to emit
stagnating odours.
Shut off the water supply at the mains to avoid leaking
taps overowing the tank in your absence.
Turn the controller power off with the isolator on the side.
Do not forget to turn the controller on after your return and
before any water usage.
If these guidelines are followed your Mono Grifter Package
will provide you with many years of unobtrusive, “hassle
free” operation.
For further details please refer to the “Installation,
Operation and Maintenance Instructions” supplied with
this unit.
If you have further concerns or queries please do not
attempt to service the unit, contact the technician/help
desk as per the contact details on back page.
