AND

biofilter.
Keep all lids of the septic system accessible at all times. Never cover them with mulch, dirt, or any permanent structure
(patio, swing, shed, etc.). Otherwise, the maintenance partner will not be able to do their annual task.
Once the landscaping is completed, the lids of your septic installation must be at least 50 mm (2") above the surface of the
finished ground. Make sure that runoff water flows far away from the lids to reduce the risk of rainwater infiltration in the
system.

NEVER install a riser on a fibreglass Ecoflo biofilter or or a polyethylene Ecoflo biofilter with a separate pumping vault
access. The excess weight could break the unit and will void its warranty
NEVER install more than one extra 150 mm (6") riser on a polyethylene Ecoflo biofilter with only a main access. The excess
weight from more than one riser could break the unit and will void its warranty. It could also create a dangerous confined
space for the service partner.
NEVER install more than one riser on a concrete Ecoflo biofilter. is Otherwise, you could create a dangerous confined
space for the service partner and you will void the unit’s warranty.
NEVER plant trees within 3 m (9' 10") of the lid of a fiberglass Ecoflo biofilter or within 2 m (6' 6") of the absorption bed.
Roots seek nourishment in the filtering medium of the Ecoflo biofilter and their growth could cause damage to the unit.
NEVER have a connected drain pipe, roof gutter, sump pump, or air conditioner drain into the septic system.
NEVER discharge contents or water from a water softener backwash, a spa, or a pool into your septic system.
