REWATEC PASSIVE DISINFECTION FILTER (FDi) FEATURES
The Rewatec passive disinfection filter (FDi) uses a recirculation station that returns treated effluent to the inlet zone at the top
of the sand filter. The recirculation station is equipped with a pump, an on/off float, and an alarm float. Both the floats and the
pump are connected to a control box (DCU-FDi).
The control box must be installed inside the house and be kept visible in case its alarm flashes.
The alarm activates whenever a problem occurs with water recirculation. Whenever the alarm activates, call Premier Tech for
assistance. You can then deactivate the alarm by pressing the "RÉARMEMENT / RESET" button. This button can also be
used to test a recirculation cycle and ensure the Rewatec passive disinfection filter (FDi)'s proper functioning. Simply press
and hold down the button for 5 seconds to run a recirculation cycle.
Electrical connections
All electrical connections must be made by a certified electrician. They must also use waterproof wire connectors for the
recirculation station's electrical connection box. Premier Tech recommends installing it outside of the recirculation station
and placing it above ground level to protect it from submerging and to keep it easily accessible.
Use one independent circuit breaker for the connection of the DCU-FDi control box. Do not connect anything else to that circuit
breaker. The Ecoflo compact biofilter's electric components must also each be connected to an independent circuit breaker
of their own (one independent circuit breaker to operate the pump and one independent circuit breaker for the alarm box).
Details for the electrical connections of the Ecoflo compact biofilter are presented in its owner's manual.

MAINTENANCE
4.1
PRIMARY TREATMENT AND EFFLUENT FILTER
Under the normal operating conditions 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 primary/septic tank 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 100% coco filter Ecoflo treatment systems combined
with the Rewatec passive disinfection filter (FDi), the flow regulator must be cleaned to remove any particles or residue that
may have stuck to the surface.
Empty your septic tank regularly. This will help keep your septic system in proper working order. The standards regarding
the pumping of septic tanks must be respected, as described in the Regulation respecting wastewater 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. These can increase the amount of sludge in the septic tank and fill it faster than expected. To have a
complete record of any maintenance done on your septic system, we recommend keeping the invoice within the owner's
manual as proof of maintenance.
