EC5 Model Series:
Therefore, the ECP-370-P model refers to an Ecoflo
®
Coco Filter that can treat 370 US gallons per day, housed into
a watertight bottom polyethylene shell with an integrated pump for effluent discharge.
2.3 Influent pumping station (if required)
When wastewater cannot be conveyed by gravity between the primary treatment
system and the Ecoflo
®
Coco Filter, a pumping/lifting station is then required. Like
for the septic/primary tank, the size and configuration of the pump tank shall be
based on design flow and occupancy and as to meet State or Local requirements.
The pumping station must be watertight. Premier Tech Aqua offers different pumping
station models to meet your needs (PSA-240 and PSA-240H).
Premier Tech Aqua recommends a dose between 8 to 10 US gallons (30 to 40 litres)
of wastewater every pump dosing cycle. Refer to the Peripherals section on
ptzone.premiertechaqua.com
for further information regarding the pumping stations.
Pump tank must have adequate venting to avoid buildup of harmful gases, air lock
and corrosion. This can be accomplished using a separate vent pipe on the pump
chamber or septic tank, by using a vented lid, or by connecting to the main building
vent stacks.
2.4 Discharge pump (when applicable)
As presented in table above, some Ecoflo
®
Coco Filter models housed into either concrete or polyethylene shells
come into a closed bottom configuration including a discharge pump vault. It allows to pump the final treated
effluent towards the site specific final dispersal method. The dosing can be accomplished either on demand (pump
to gravity, pressure dosed) or timed dosing.
The integrated pump vault includes a pump, a float tree on which, an ON/OFF float, and alarm float are attached
and an alarm box.
Each of the models listed below offer a certain built-in capacity for dosing and storage in case of emergency. In
case of emergency, water can be accumulated for a limited period of time in the filter bed without adversely affect
the performance of the system. These are presented on products respective technical data sheets.
