Operating Principle
Onsite wastewater treatment systems must respect applicable local rules and regulations. These systems are
specifically designed to treat residential wastewater to such a level that treated effluent can be safely returned to the
environment. Typically, an onsite wastewater treatment system is composed of 2 to 3 main treatment steps
depending on site constraints: primary treatment, treatment system and if required polishing treatment.
Primary treatment
The primary/septic tank is the primary treatment. It clarifies wastewater by letting suspended solids settle to the
bottom and retaining floating matter to prevent premature clogging of the treatment system. It is strongly
recommended that the primary/septic tank be equipped with an effluent filter. Every primary/septic tank and effluent
filter shall be installed according to the local regulations.
For more information on the operation, operating guidelines, maintenance and warranties of PTA's primary/septic
tanks with effluent filter, please refer to the primary/septic tanks Owner's Manuals which can be found at
premiertechaqua.com.
Treatment system
Once wastewater has passed through the primary/septic tank, it then flows towards the Ecoflo
the biofilter, a tipping bucket equally disperses the wastewater on specially designed plates which evenly distribute
the wastewater on top of the filtering media. The wastewater then trickles through the natural fibrous filtering media.
The treated effluent can then be discharged to the environment through an appropriate dispersal/disposal mean in
accordance to local regulations.

The Ecoflo Coco Filter's operating principle allows the system to be used continuously or intermittently without
requiring any special precaution or having any impact on the quality of the treatment. No specific action from the
owner is required to start the system.
The model and the number of Ecoflo
selection of the model also depends on the available surface area, the topography of the lot, as well as the type,
permeability and depth of the natural soil on site.
Polishing treatment
When required, the Ecoflo
(DiUV) or phosphorus removal unit (DpEC) to reduce respectively pathogen concentrations or phosphorus.
For more information on the operation, operating guidelines, maintenance, and warranties of PTA's FDi, DiUV or
DpEC, please refer to the products' Owner's Manuals, which can be found at premiertechaqua.com.
