Matala Biofilter 10 Installation and maintenance manual
Matala Biofilter 10 is suitable where you have a small
water consumption of max 400 l/day and 55 l/h.
If you have several wires out of the house, it can be led
to the same filter, or you could place a filter in each
place. It is also available as a model with a built-in
pump, to pump away the water after the filter.
Matala grey water filter/BDT (bath, dishes & laundry)
is the original and it has sold in the thousands over
the past 15 years.
No costs for consumption
No electricity consumption
No moving parts
Matala grey water filters are adapted for smaller amounts of BDT wastewater such as in
small houses, holiday homes, sauna houses, building sheds and others where you do not
have water connected.
Not all types of grey water filters can handle high flows that you can have in year-round
houses with high water consumption, then choose other technology.
The capacity is from 400 to 750 liters/day, depending on the model and accessories.
Biofilter 10 has a capacity of 400 l/day or 55 l/h and Biofilter 20 & 25 can handle 750 l/day
and 75 l/h.
Function
The function is completely natural by purifying the water, as it slowly flows through the
patented filters that break down biological nutrients with Biofilm technology with microbes.
Since the filters are airy in the biofilter and the water varies in level all the time, no air
compressor is needed for oxygenation of the biohud.
There is always some water at the bottom of the biofilter so that the biohud should always
have a good environment even when the load stops.

  • Page 3 3 (10) Placement Bio Filter 10 must be placed on a stable and a flat frost-free surface. If Bio Filter is to perform during the winter, it must be insulated in such a way that the container does not freeze. Bio Filter 10 must also stand in such a way that it is easy to lift the lid off and inspect and, if necessary, clean the filter material in the box - under normal conditions 1-2 times a year.
  • Page 4 Under normal ground conditions, we recommend a recipient of 1x1.2m with Matala FSM 190 as a biomodule and 30-50cm gravel underneath. The spreader tube is placed in the middle of the Matala FSM 190 biomodule and the whole thing is covered with ground cloth before the post-polishing is covered.
  • Page 5 5 (10) After the Biofilter, an HS infiltration (accessory) has been used to improve purification and get a place that receives the purified water. The ground cloth is put on before filling the filling soil. This is a better solution than a stone coffin. Svenska Avloppscenter AB Ekebyvägen 4, 725 92 Västerås +46 10 490 10 50...
  • Page 6 6 (10) Leveling tank If you have a short pipe length from, for example, the sink, you might can get warm water over 50 degrees that can knock out the biohud. Try to pour out a pot of boiling water if the temperature in the filter is above 50 degrees.
  • Page 7 7 (10) Pumping Many times, pumping is needed to solve the installation, Matala Biofilter 10 is available in a version with built-in pump to pump out purified water. Please note, it can`t suck water in - it must be self-draining into the filter.
  • Page 8 8 (10) Ventilation Ventilation is always necessary to oxygenate a biodegradation. Inbound air is through the pipe for outgoing water, if possible - or via the upper hole on the same short side as outgoing water, if an unventilated post-polishing is used. Outgoing air goes through the housing pipe trunk or via the hole in Bio filter 10's lid.
  • Page 9 9 (10) Maintenance The microbial growth formed on the filter element collects nutrients from the gray water flowing through the filter elements. The biological purification process is sensitive to poisoning i.e., drugs, chemicals for sewage stops, chlorine, large amounts of antibacterial detergents, solutions, oil, paint, or other problematic waste.
  • Page 10 10 (10) Cleaning Sewage sludge contains bacteria and therefore it should be handled with caution. The easiest way is to shake off the carpets above the compost, about 90% of the sludge will then release. The knocked-out filters are then put back in the Biofilter, the 10% of sludge and bacteria that remain ensure that the biological purification continues.
