4. Maintenance
4.1 Primary Treatment and effluent filter
Under normal operating conditions, as described in this manual, an effluent filter that complies with BNQ Standard 3680-905 should
operate efficiently for many years. It must be cleaned every time the septic tank or primary reactor is emptied. A service partner or a
qualified third party as referred to in section 1x.2) of the Regulation respecting waste water disposal systems for isolated dwellings (Q-
2, r.22) can do this during the annual maintenance. For Ecoflo 100% treatment systems combined with a FDi disinfection filter, the
flow regulator must be cleaned to remove particles any residue that may have stuck to the surface.
Empty your septic tank regularly. This helps keep your septic system in proper working order. It is essential that you comply with the
requirements for septic tank maintenance described in the
Regulation respecting waste water disposal systems for isolated
dwellings (Q-2, r.22)
.
If your home is equipped with a garbage disposal or a sewage pump, we strongly recommend emptying your septic tank more
frequently. Using this kind of equipment increases the amount of sludge in the septic tank.
To have a complete record of the maintenance done on your septic system, we recommend you keep the proof of maintenance
(invoice) with the Owner's Manual.
4.2 Ecoflo biofilter
The maintenance of your Ecoflo biofilter is done by our local Premier Tech partner network or a qualified third party as referred to in
section 1x.2) of the Regulation respecting waste water disposal systems for isolated dwellings (Q-2, r.22). This service includes a visual
inspection and a verification of all components as well as maintenance of the filtering media. For maintenance purposes and to
replace the filtering media, you must ensure that your system's lid is easily accessible. Never cover or bury the lid of the Ecoflo
biofilter. After each inspection, you will be given a maintenance record, keep it with the Owner’s Manual in a safe place.
4.3 Passive disinfection filter (FDi)
Article 87.16 of the
Regulation respecting wastewater disposal systems for isolated dwellings (Q-2, r.22)
stipulates that any
tertiary treatment system with disinfection
must be installed, used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s
manuals. Note that the passive disinfection filter (FDi) requires no maintenance. However, annual inspection among other
electromechanical components TLP-FDi, is mandatory according to the product’s BNQ certification.
5. Sampling
Article 87.30.1 of the
Regulation respecting wastewater disposal systems for isolated dwellings (Q-2, r.22)
stipulates that the
owner of a tertiary treatment system with disinfection must, at least once per six-month period, have a sample of the system’s
effluent analyzed to determine the concentration of fecal coliforms. The owner must send the analysis reports within 30 days of
their receipt to the municipality in whose territory the treatment system is situated. In addition, the owner must keep the reports for 5
years and make them available to the Minister’s request.
Premier Tech also provides an effluent analysis service every 6 months.
