HIBLOW DUO/DUAL Port Air Pump Timer Settings

Working with your local aerobic treatment service provider with knowledge of your system or contacting the OEM directly is essential to ensure your system has the correct timer settings and operates as it is designed.

HIBLOW manufactures Dual Port septic air pumps designed for aerobic treatment unit manufacturers. The Dual port includes a timer that prompts the switch in air flow from the “MAIN” outlet port – used to aerate the main aeration chamber – to the second “SKIM” or “Backwash” port used for a secondary operation. Commonly, this secondary operation acts as an airlift or suction pump to move effluent, sludge, or scum from one section of the tank to another. Only one outlet port can operate at a time, both outlets cannot operate simultaneously.

Each Aerobic Treatment Unit manufacturer has specific and proprietary timer settings. Their systems have gone through extensive testing to receive certifications from a third-party lab to meet regulatory requirements at state and local levels. Any change to the timer settings could impact the effectiveness of the system and the quality of the effluent that enters the drain field. Standard single port air pumps should also not be used as a replacement for Dual Port models.

HIBLOW manufactures two models: the DUO Series (DUO-50, DUO-60, DUO-80) and the Dual Series (HP-50W, HP-60W, HP-80W). When purchasing a replacement air pump, it is critical for the timer settings to match that of your manufacturer’s system.

Working with your local aerobic treatment service provider with knowledge of your system or contacting the OEM directly is essential to ensure your system has the correct timer settings and operates as it is designed.

  1. My dual port timer has lost its settings for switching between ports. Can you tell me what the on/off times are for the Main and Skim ports are so I can properly set them.
