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
www.ptenv.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.

Particulars of the Ecoflo® Biofilter model STB-500/650BR (with a pump)
The Ecoflo®Biofilter STB-500/650BR integrates a pumping station that raises the treated effluent to an appropriate disposal
method (polishing field, tertiary treatment unit or watercourse) in accordance with existing regulations. The electro-mechanical
components included in this system are:
Visual and audio alarm system
The pumping station is equipped with a high-water-level float connected to an alarm system. This alarm system must be
installed inside the residence (home) so to be heard when it is activated. The following information describes how this
system operates.
The visual alarm indicator (red
light) comes on when the
water level is unusually high.
A verification must then be
performed.
The “TEST” button lets you
check if the alarm system is
working properly. When the
test is done, the visual
indicator (red light) and the
audio alarm should come on.
If the alarm comes on because of a high-water level,
call Premier Tech Environment for support. The
alarm can be turned off by pressing the “SILENCE”
button.
During a power failure, the alarm system will
function with a backup 9-volt alkaline battery (not
included).
NOTE: Replace the emergency battery every 12 months, each time the alarm is activated or whenever there is a
power failure. When the battery is low, short beeps will be heard at a frequency of one beep per minute. If this occurs,
replace the battery immediately.
To replace the battery:
•Unplug the alarm panel and remove it from the wall (the battery is located on the side of the panel).
•Open the battery cover and replace the battery with a new 9-volt NiCd type battery.
•Close the battery cover, reinstall the alarm panel and plug it in.
•If the alarm activates at start up, press the RESET/TEST button to initialize it.
Pump and alarm power box
All electrical connections must be done by a
certified electrician and using seal
connectors is mandatory. Premier Tech
Environment recommends installing the
power box on top of the insulating board, in
the access to the pump, to avoid problems
with humidity.

B) Ecoflo®Biofilter STB-500/650B-FDi and STB-500/650BR-FDi (Class V System)
The Ecoflo®Biofilter, models STB-500/650B-FDi and STB-500/650BR-FDi,is a tertiary treatment system with disinfection.
The system is Standard NQ 3680-910 (Class V) certified and includes 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 (FDi).
Operating principle
Your complete septic installation includes a septic tank equipped with an effluent filter (EFT-080 from PTE, 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, 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 a concrete Ecoflo®Biofilter STB-500/650BR, the effluent is applied
to the inlet zone by means of a pump 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 method of final disposal using a
device that recirculates the water to the FDi’s inlet and also collects a sample of the treated effluent.
The FDi’s operating principle allows for permanent and intermittent use, with no specific precautions and no impact on the
quality of the treatment. No action is required from the owner to start the system; however, he must ensure that all Guidelines
for Use described herein are respected.
As defined in Standard NQ 3680-910 of the Bureau de Normalisation du Québec (BNQ), the Ecoflo®Biofilters STB-500/650B-
FDi and STB-500/650BR-FDi models are Class V certified (tertiary treatment with disinfection).
The dimensions of the FDi, its model and the number of Ecoflo®Biofilters (refer to Section A of this manual) are determined by
the number of bedrooms in the residence and according to the residence’s total daily wastewater flow or the domestic wastewater
from any other type of building. The table below indicates the dimensions of the FDi in relation to the treatment capacity. For
the capacity of Ecoflo®Biofilters STB-500/650B and STB-500/650BR models, please refer to Section A of this manual.

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 model STB-500/650B-FDi or STB-500/650BR-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.
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 Environment 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 STB-500/650B-FDi or STB-
500/650BR-FDi must be authorized by the local authorities, and Premier Tech Environment has been advised. If this condition is
not fully respected, the warranty for your Ecoflo®Biofilter STB-500/650B-FDi or STB-500/650BR-FDi will be null and void.
