Thanks for the video but you left out so many important details. Brush style, diameter and length? Where do you insert it? Through the top of the motor where the air inlet is or do I remove the shaft? Which fasteners hold the shaft on? Bottom two? All four? Where's the other mark to line up the one you drew on the collar? I need that as reference to actually align things per your recommendation.

Is there a way to oil or grease the bearings?

What's the purpes os the aretor

It sucks air into an aeration septic system and spins the sewage around creating a perfect environment for the proliferation of a certain aerobic bacteria that cause the sewage to break down very rapidly as part of a residential sewage treatment plant. This is for individual property/home owners who live in rural areas where there are no city sewer lines to tie into. So they need a place for their sewage to be deposited in a sanitary way that meets legal requirements for sewage disposal on private property. It is for more specifically for homeowners who for various reasons cannot put in a traditional leach bed septic system (drain field) to filter their sewage from their home usually because the soil can't pass a perc test (sufficient water absorption rate of soil). So they have to buy and excavate/bury a multi-tank treatment plant with this aerator in the middle of a (usually) gravity fed system. All of the home's sewage gets piped to this plant (usually only about 50 feet from the home) and treated before being discharged as chlorinated water. One person who serviced mine told me the water that comes out at the end is so pure that it is drinkable. I said "Be my guest." He didn't sample any, lol.

In the video you mention getting a "long brush" to clean out the shaft with. What specific brush do you recommend? Wire, nylon? What diameter? Please send links (Amazon if possible). I found this one and wondered if it would work for cleaning my aerator shaft out: www.amazon.com/Furnace-Boiler-Brush-Dia-Length/dp/B07HLS9Q88
