Replacing a Multi-Flo Aerator-Need Advice on Difficulty


I believe my aerator in my Multi Flo septic system is faling. Anyone know how hard they are to replace - in the bottom of tank. Thank u Merry Christmas They are easy to replace. turn the power off, when you look down in the tank, you will see a small pipe coming out of the center. With gloves on, grab the pipe, lift slowly, because it can brake easy. Just under the water line there is a union, take it apart and lift the aerator out of the tank. The PVC pipe broke upon pulling the aerator assembly up. Does anyone have a suggestion? Also has anyone found a good place to order a replacement? TIA Hi and welcome. On a multi flo aerator, the pvc pipe that run down to it, can be bought at any hardware store. The parts that are in the aerator are 1/2 and the pipe running up is 3/4. Any and all the parts that can brake, can be found at the hardware store. Hi and thanks for the reply, my question has more to do with how do I now get the pump to the surface with a broken pvc. It is my understanding that the pvc is used to retrieve the pump. You can pull it up by the wire. With that cone out, you will be able to see where the wire goes down into the tank. Use good rubber gloves, and pull it up with the wire slowly. Turn the power off first.
