4.2 Surface discharge
Depending on local regulations and jurisdictions, the effluent of the Ecoflo
®
Coco Filter could be surface discharged
into a watercourse, stream or dry swale. Requirements for such applications vary from one jurisdiction to another,
but it will most likely require disinfection. When required the Ecoflo
®
Coco Filter can be combined with Premier Tech
Aqua’s disinfection unit (DiUV) or other UV disinfection system to reduce the fecal coliforms concentration below
200 UFC/100 ml. For more information on PTA's DiUV, please consult
ptzone.premiertechaqua.com.
The DiUV can either be integrated in the pump vault located inside the Ecoflo
®
Coco Filter unit or installed separately
in another containment vessel. The following table lists the technical specifications of the Premier Tech Aqua DiUV.
The outlet pipe through which the effluent is discharged into the watercourse must be located at all times below the
surface of the receiving water.
