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.

HIBLOW Provides Linear Air Pumps for Residential Wastewater Systems
In many onsite treatment systems, the air pump is the only moving part in the overall septic system, so it must be dependable. Working 24 hours a day and through all four seasons of the year — HIBLOW linear air pumps set the industry standard for reliability and service life. Additionally, most Aerobic Treatment Unit (ATU) manufacturers supply HIBLOW linear air pumps with their onsite wastewater treatment systems.
We design, engineer, and manufacture all HIBLOW linear air pumps in our own facilities. We don’t buy pumps from other companies and re-brand them, and we don’t use contract manufacturers. Every HIBLOW linear air pump is fully tested and certified for quality in your application before it is packaged and shipped to you from one of our factories.
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.
Each aerobic treatment system manufacturer has propriety timer settings for dual ports. It is best to contact the OEM directly for the timer settings.
