Minimum distances from Ecoflo biofilter lids
Shell type Distance to respect to the lids
NEVER drive a vehicle or place objects weighing more than 225 kg (500 lb) too close of the lid of your Ecoflo biofilter. See
minimum distances to respect in table above. If you are planning any kind of landscaping or property work (snow
removal, lawn mowing, excavation, etc.),
make sure you advise all those involved, so they do not damage your septic
system. It is recommended to note where your septic system elements are located.
2.1 Start-up warranty
The system's warranty begins upon purchase. Should the start-up be delayed, it is the customer's responsibility to inform Premier
Tech about it so 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 warranties.
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.
Make sure to check with your local regulators your requirements regarding the operation and maintenance of your system.
As a complement to your installation, the Ecoflo biofilter team offers annual maintenance. By maintaining the filtering medium of your
Ecoflo biofilter every year, you contribute to ensure the long life of your system, saving you from having to replace the filter prematurely.
This visit is also associated with the warranty of your installation. Most septic systems must be maintained annually as part of local
environmental regulations.
2.3 About the air vent of your home
Your home must be equipped with an air vent that is in proper working order and all plumbing must comply with the applicable
standards of the building code in your location. Every septic tank 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
diameter of 100 mm (4") for the air vent
Any change in the use of your home or any modification to your Ecoflo biofilter must be authorized by local authorities, and Premier
Tech must be advised. If this requirement is not fully met, the warranty for your Ecoflo biofilter will be null and void.
By respecting these guidelines, you contribute to the proper operation of your septic system
and help prolong the life of your Ecoflo biofilter filtering medium. Failure to abide by these
guidelines may, at Premier Tech's discretion, render the warranty invalid.
