WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Owner's responsibility
The owner must respect all existing laws and regulations regarding the quality of the effluent from the system and its discharge
into the environment.
Keep heavy weights off your system
Never operate a vehicle or place objects weighing more than 225 kg (500 lb) within 2 m (6.7') from the edge of the lid
anyone undertaking landscaping work on your property of the location of your septic system. Do not let any material or
debris accumulate over your septic system. Failure to follow any of these recommendations can result in damage 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
building code standards. Premier Tech strongly recommends using a 100 mm Ø (4") pipe for the air vent. You must notify
Premier Tech and get authorization from local authorities before undertaking any change in the use of your home or any
modification to the Rewatec UV disinfection unit. If this condition is not fully respected, the warranty of the Rewatec
UV disinfection unit (DiUV) will be voided at Premier Tech's discretion.
Electrical connections
The electrical connections for the UV disinfection unit (DiUV) and the alarm float must be made by a licensed electrician.
They must only use watertight screw-in connections for the electrical connection box.
The components must use two separate circuit-breakers: one to operate the Rewatec DiUV, and the other to connect the
alarm box. Do not connect anything else to these circuit-breakers (for example, household appliances). These circuit-breakers
must be used exclusively for the Rewatec DiUV and the alarm box.
Warning regarding the start-up
Once the unit is plugged in, the UV lamps may take up to several hours to reach full power. With new systems or newly-installed
UV lamps, expect to hear a UV lamp malfunction alarm until the lamps have reached full power.
In Québec, according to Article 87.16 of the Regulation respecting wastewater disposal systems for isolated dwellings (Q-2, r.22),
an ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system must be turned on at all times, except during maintenance. It is prohibited to fail to
connect, to disconnect, or to fail to replace a lamp forming part of a UV disinfection system. These recommendations apply
in all territories where the Rewatec UV disinfection unit is commercialized.

WI-FI, VISUAL, AND AUDIO ALARM SYSTEMS
The Rewatec UV disinfection unit (DiUV)can generate two types of alarms that are
both connected to the same box. The box must be installed inside the residence
to make sure the alarm can be heard as soon as it is activated. The function of these
two alarms is presented below.
Water level alarm inside the Ecoflo compact biofilter
A red light flashes on and an alarm triggers when the water level inside the Ecoflo
compact biofilter is unusually high. Troubleshooting must be performed.
UV controller malfunction alarm
An amber light flashes on and an alarm triggers when the UV controller malfunctions.
When the Rewatec DiUV is integrated within the Ecoflo compact biofilter unit, this alarm
triggers whenever there is an issue with the UV bulb, the UV controller, or the alarm
relay. If the Rewatec DiUV is a standalone unit, this type of alarm may also indicate the
presence of water in the system's tank. In all cases, troubleshooting must be performed.
