to your septic system. Premier Tech recommends to keep track of your septic system's components or to mark their location.
About your home
Your home must be equipped with an air vent that is in proper working order. Any plumbing must comply with applicable

Premier Tech and get authorization from local authorities before undertaking any change in the use of your home or any
modification to the Ecoflo compact biofilter or to the Rewatec passive disinfection filter (FDi). If this condition is not fully respected,
the warranty of the Ecoflo compact biofilter and the Rewatec FDi will be voided at Premier Tech's discretion.
