Edition: 2010-01-22
About your home
Your home must be equipped with an air vent that is in proper working order and the plumbing must comply with
the applicable standards of the building code in your location. Premier Tech Aqua strongly recommends using a
100 mm Ø (4") pipe for the air vent. Any change in the use of your home or any modification to your Ecoflo®
Biofilter must be authorized by the local authorities, and Premier Tech Aqua must be advised. If this condition is
not fully respected, the warranty for your Ecoflo®Biofilter will be null and void.
Maintenance
Ecoflo®Biofilter
As stipulated in section 3.3 “Maintenance Contract” and section 87.10 “Installation, Use and Maintenance,” of the
Regulation respecting wastewater disposal systems for isolated dwellings (Q-2, r.8) : “The owner of a treatment
system referred to in sections 11.1, 16.1, 87.7 or 87.13 must have a binding contract with the system
manufacturer, the manufacturer’s representative or a qualified third person in which it is stipulated that minimum
annual maintenance will be performed on the system.” “The owner of the system must deposit a copy of the
contract with the local municipality in which the isolated dwelling or the other building served by the treatment
system is situated” and “any advanced secondary treatment system must be installed, used and maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer's manuals.”
Annual maintenance is important to the proper operations of your Ecoflo®Biofilter and essential to maintain its
warranty. Therefore, your Biofilter must be serviced annually for the duration of its useful life. According to local
regulation, more than 1 visit per year could be required.
The maintenance of your Ecoflo®Biofilter is carried out by our local PTaqua
partner network. This service includes a visual inspection of all
components and a verification of the operation and maintenance of the
filtering media. For maintenance purposes and to replace the filtering
media, you must ensure easy access to your system’s lid. You will be given
a maintenance record after each inspection. Keep it with this manual in a
safe place.
At the end of its ten (10) years of useful life, your Ecoflo®Biofilter's filtering media must be changed before the
system's purification capacity begins to deteriorate. The filtering media is easily pumped out with a truck used to
empty septic tanks and the new filtering media is installed by an authorized agent. Before the filtering media is
replaced, the condition of the filter is thoroughly analyzed by one of our specialists. If the filtering media has not
been abused and the guidelines for use have been respected, the filtering media might not be changed and can
be used for an additional year.
To know more regarding the maintenance of your Ecoflo Biofilter®, refer to your maintenance agreement. If you
need assistance or more information, we invite you to call our customer service at 1 800 632-6356 or to visit our
web site at PREMIERTECHAQUA.COM.
Septic tank
Empty your septic tank regularly. This helps keep your septic system in proper working order. It is essential to
comply with the requirements for septic tank maintenance described in the
“Regulation respecting wastewater
disposal systems for isolated dwellings.” (Q-2, r.8).
If your home is equipped with a garbage disposal or a sewage pump, we strongly recommend emptying your
septic tank more frequently. The use of this kind of equipment increases the amount of sludge in the septic tank.
To have a complete record of your septic system maintenance, we
recommend that you keep the proof of
pumping (invoice) with this Owner’s Manual.

Effluent filter
Under normal conditions of usage as described in the present document, the effluent filter (EFT-080 model or any
equivalent approved by Premier Tech) should operate efficiently for many years. As such, it must be cleaned every
time the septic tank is pumped, as established or recommended by local authorities.
What to do in Case of...
Flooding
Certain sites are prone to flooding or have a high groundwater table level. This can cause the Ecoflo®Biofilter or
any other septic system to malfunction. If this happens, contact Premier Tech Aqua.
Backflow
Backflow rarely occurs in homes. It is generally caused by poor septic tank maintenance. Your septic system
installer or septic tank pumper can usually take care of the situation.
Odours
The position of the air vent or other factors unrelated to the Ecoflo®Biofilter itself can prevent septic gases from
dispersing properly and lead to odours. If this happens, contact Premier Tech Aqua to help resolved the situation.

B) Ecoflo® Biofilters ST-500/650-FDi and STB-500/650-FDi
(Class III System)
The Ecoflo
®
Biofilter, models ST-500/650-FDi and STB-500/650-FDi are a tertiary treatment system with
disinfection. These systems are certified under Standard NQ 3680-910 (Class V) and include a septic tank, an
effluent filter, an Ecoflo
®
Biofilter and a Disinfection Filter (FDi). All information relative to the operation, use and
maintenance of the septic tank, the effluent filter and the Ecoflo
®
Biofilter are provided in Section A of this manual.
This section provides the information related the Disinfection Filter.
Operating principle
Your complete septic installation includes a septic tank equipped with an effluent filter (EFT-080 from PTA, PL-122
from Polylok or EF-6 from Tuf-Tite) in accordance with the Standard NQ 3680-910 certification of the Ecoflo®
Biofilter, 1 or 2 Ecoflo®Biofilters, one Disinfection Filter (FDi), as well as any other component needed for your
type of installation (a pumping station or flow divider).
The FDi is designed to reduce the concentration of pathogenic organisms at the effluent of the Ecoflo®Biofilter in
locations where infiltrating the water in a polishing field is not possible. The Disinfection Filter (FDi) consists of a
horizontal sand filter fed vertically in the inlet zone with a low pressure distribution system. It is contained in an
impervious membrane and the sand used is specifically sized for high disinfection performance. The system also
includes an aeration device (for the STB model with collecting bottom), a collection system for the treated water
and a recirculation tank. The FDi’s components are delivered in pre-fabricated kits, which facilitate installation and
ensure the quality of the system.
At the outlet of the Ecoflo®Biofilter, the water is directed to the FDi to attain a “tertiary treatment level with
disinfection” (Class V). The FDi is equipped with an inlet zone that vertically feeds the sand filter. This zone
consists of a layer of clean crushed stone resting on a layer of filter sand. In the case of an Ecoflo®Biofilter
ST-500/650 with open bottom, the water percolates inside the Biofilter before gravity directs it to the FDi’s inlet
zone (located right at the base of the Biofilter). For the Ecoflo®Biofilter STB-500/650 with collecting bottom, the
effluent reaches the inlet zone by means of the PSA-240L pumping station and a low pressure distribution system.
The feed system ensures optimal distribution of the water over the entire surface of the FDi’s inlet zone. Once the
water has percolated vertically through the sand layer, it then trickles slowly over the entire length of the FDi. A
collection pipe then directs the water to a final disposal using a device that recirculates the water to the FDi’s inlet
and also collects a sample of the treated effluent.

For guidelines on the Ecoflo®Biofilter and the septic tank, refer to Section A of this manual.
Drinking water treatment system:
If your home is equipped with a drinking water treatment system (for example, a water softener, a greensand filter,
etc.), it is strictly forbidden to empty the backwash from such systems into any components of a septic system
including an Ecoflo®Biofilter models ST-500/650-FDi and STB-500/650-FDi.
FDi Discharge Zone
When work is undertaken after the installation is completed (for example, landscaping, maintenance of the lot,
etc.), it is imperative that the owner ensure that the system is draining properly. This can be done by ensuring that
the gravel area that makes up the discharge zone is never blocked.
Owner’s responsibility
The owner must respect the existing laws and regulations related to the quality of the effluent from the system and
its discharge into the environment.
