The main window.

Select "New Design" to open the design wizard.

The design wizard.

The first screen collects the client and permitting information.

Preferences can be set for many of the fields and options in the wizard.

Most lists anticipate and fill in as you type. For example: in the County field as you type an "F" Fayette county fills in. If you continue and type an "o" then it changes to Forest county.
client and permitting agency data
The site data screen.

The size constraints, if used, cause the software to provide you with the "best fit" system. The best fit is the system that has the least square footage overlap beyond the constraints.



site data
The system type screen.

The software enables only those system types that are allowed given the site data. In this example the suitable system types are Elevated Sand Mound and Peat-Based Systems. If we were to select Peat-Based then we could also choose the manufacturer (Puraflo has not yet sent their specs) and the configuration of the at-grade bed that goes with the peat system.



system type
As different system types are selected the Bed Summary is updated so that comparisons between the system types can be made.

The plumbing options screen.

The software fills in typical values that you can adjust, if you want.

The Plumbing Summary is updated as changes are made.
plumbing options
The pump selection screen.

The pumps are chosen from a database of suitable pumps. We can easily add new pumps, if you provide the spec sheets.

The software checks the lowest horsepower pump that is adequate for the design from each group. You can uncheck or check others. Pumps that do not meet the needs of the design are grayed out and cannot be selected.
pump selection
Double clicking on a pump opens the pump curve for the pump with the design needs drawn on it. You can view as many pump curves at once as you want.
pump curve
The tank selection screen.

The software checks the smallest suitable tank from each group in the database.

The selection can be limited to local brands only so that you can specify locally available tanks. The spec sheets for the tanks are optionally included in the design.

Currently we have only a few manufacturers' specs in our database. Send us your specs and we will include them. Make sure you include a list of counties you deliver to.
tank selection
The plot plan options screen.

If "Include Instructions" is checked then a sheet is added to the design that describes how to do a plot plan, what needs to be included, and isolation distances.

If "Draw here" is checked then you can create and edit the plot plan in the plot plan editor.

If "External" is checked it indicates that you intend to draw the plot plan by hand or with other software.


plot plan options
The plot plan editor

The Plot Plan Editor is a 2D CAD environment with extensions to aid in drawing plot plans.

The most important feature is its capability to paste the system's footprint with just a few mouse clicks.

The final screen.

From here you can review, save, purchase, and print the design.
