Phillip Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Could someone tell me what this pump does? It was running all the time I was there. It is part of a mound system.

caryseidner Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I Googled "nayadic" and it looks like a pump for a wastewater treatment system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 It's an air pump. It injects air into an "aerobic" waste treatment tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got some time and I goggled "nayadic" and that what it is. First time I had seen the pump. At the web site it said there is a setup where there is a way to set it in one of the containers. That may be the reason I haven't seen one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric B Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 What are the black stains on the end of the pump housing in the third picture - carbon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 I don't know. The system had just been checked and new covers put on the main tank by one of the local septic folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottpat Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 When I lived in Mississippi I use to see treatment systems all the time due to all of the clay soil and the lack of percolation. Now that I'm in TN I almost never see them due to the rocky conditions and the good percolation of the soil. I'm a big fan of treatment plants. It also looks like they might have a lift station/grinder pump. That box on the side of the house with the green light. It is either that or an alarm for a effluent storage tank. Do you know if that is what it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Man, that is one ooogly system[:-bigeyes I have nasty clay soil and a simple sand filter system that works great. If I hadn't have put it in I would have no idea where it is. Tom Sometimes simpler is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a mound system I would go with the lift station/grinder pump. I am not sure which one it is. This is one thing I have no problem telling my clients to get checked by someone that knows about the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
