• NEVER drive a vehicle or place objects weighing more than 225 kg (500 lb) too close of the lid of your Ecoflo compact
biofilter. See minimum distances to respect in table above. If you are planning landscaping or any other type of property
work (for instance, snow removal, lawn mowing, excavation, etc.), ensure everyone involved knows the location of your
septic system components to avoid damaging them. Premier Tech recommends keeping track of where your septic system
components are located.
Water softener
Premier Tech recommends the following steps if you need or already own a water softener system.
Start with a water test:
• Have your drinking water analyzed by an accredited laboratory (physicochemical and aesthetic analyses).
• Have a drinking water treatment professional design your system based on the results of these analyses.
• Ensure that the system you install complies with NSF/ANSI standard 44.
To reduce the frequency of backwash, the volume of water required, and the amount of salt used, we recommend that you:
• Use a demand-initiated regeneration (DIR) water softener system.
• Avoid all-in-one solutions and choose drinking water treatments according to the specific contaminants to be removed
(for example, filtering for iron, manganese, etc.).
• Use an upflow softener system.
• Use less than 91 kg of salt/m
3
(6 lb of salt/ft
3
) of resin if you use a downflow softener system.
• Have a professional calibrate your system to ensure optimal performance.
• Follow the instructions in your system’s operation and maintenance guide.
Ensure your drinking water professional coordinates with a Premier Tech Water and Environment expert, who will assist you
with your project.
By respecting these guidelines, you contribute to the proper operation of your septic
system and help prolong the life of your Ecoo compact biolter’s ltering medium. Failure to abide
by these guidelines may result in voiding your warranty at Premier Tech’s discretion.
