2.1 WARRANTY STARTUP
The system’s warranty is effective immediately upon purchase. Should the start-up be delayed, it is the customer’s responsibility
to inform Premier Tech or a qualified third party as referred to in section 1x.2) of the Regulation respecting wastewater disposal
systems for isolated dwellings (Q-2, r.22) about it so that the first maintenance, which is included in the purchase price, is
postponed. If the first maintenance has been performed prior to the client’s call, Premier Tech reserves the right to decide
whether another maintenance, free of charge or not, will be carried out the following year. No request for delayed start-up will
be accepted any later than one year after the purchase date without it affecting the product’s warranty.
2.2 OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITY
The owner must respect all existing laws and regulations regarding the system’s effluent quality and its discharge into the
environment. Check your requirements regarding the operation and maintenance of your system with your local regulators.
As a complement to your installation, Premier Tech offers an annual maintenance program to homeowners. Maintaining the
filtering medium of your Ecoflo biofilter every year preserves your system’s lifespan and avoids premature refurbishments.
Additionally, your installation’s valid warranty is predicated on yearly maintenance visits. Most septic systems must be maintained
yearly, as per local regulations.
2.3 ABOUT THE AIR VENT OF YOUR HOME
Your home must be equipped with an air vent that is in proper working condition. All plumbing must comply with applicable
building code standards in your location. Also note that, as mentioned in Section 14 (Ventilation) of the Regulation respecting
wastewater disposal systems for isolated dwellings (Q-2, r.22), “A septic tank referred to in section 10 or section 11 must be
ventilated by an air duct with a diameter of at least 100 mm (4”) or be connected to the air vent of the isolated dwelling being
served.” Premier Tech strongly recommends using a pipe with a 100 mm (4”) diameter for the air vent.
Any change in the use of your home or any modification to your Ecoflo compact biofilter must be authorized by local
authorities, and Premier Tech must be advised. Failure to meet this requirement may result in voiding your warranty.
3. MAINTENANCE
3.1 PRIMARY TREATMENT
It is essential that you comply with the requirements for septic tank maintenance described in the Regulation respecting
wastewater disposal systems for isolated dwellings (Q-2, r.22). Having your primary/septic tank emptied on a regular basis
will help maintain your septic system’s optimal performance.
Your primary/septic tank should be pumped out every two to four years, or whenever the level of sludge measured exceeds
the total height of water in the tank by two-thirds. This helps maintain your septic system’s performance. Every primary/
septic tank and effluent filter shall be inspected and maintained as prescribed by local regulations. A local service provider
is qualified to perform this procedure.
Residential garbage disposal units or sewage pumps can increase the accumulation of sludge in your septic tank. If your
home is equipped with one of these, Premier Tech strongly recommends emptying your primary/septic tank more frequently.
To have complete records of maintenance performed on your septic system, we recommend keeping any invoices within
the owner’s manual as proof of maintenance.
