Page 6: Description Of System Components
Effluent filters to be used with the Ecoflo compact biofilter shall have a minimal flow area of 9 in² and filter particles 1/16” and larger. While many effluent filter brands meet those specifications, Premier Tech Water and Environment highly recommends Polylok’s PL-122 effluent filter or an equivalent.
Page 7 One piece, monobloc configuration Therefore, the EC7-500-P-P refers to an Ecoflo compact biofilter model that can treat 500 US gallons per day and that is housed in a polyethylene unit with a watertight bottom and an integrated pump for effluent discharge.
Page 8 (4,900 L) FLOW DIVIDER An installation with two Ecoflo compact biofilter units that cannot use gravity distribution or with three or more Ecoflo compact biofilter units must consider using a flow divider to create even distribution between the biofilter units.

• that is accessible at all times for maintenance, inspection, and emptying • The treatment system’s location must also comply with the distances in the following table: Table 6: Minimum distances to be maintained in accordance with Premier Tech Water and Environment specifications...
Page 10 (keep clearance distance with final grade of minimum 2”). • Tank backfilling must not exceed 18” (45 cm) of risers in the case of the Ecoflo compact biofilter Pack models and the 2.8, 3.4, and 4.1 standalone models.
Page 11: Determination Of The Effluent Discharge Mode
• NEVER cover or bury the lid of the Ecoflo compact biofilter (mulch, excess soil, fixed structure, etc.) • The lid of the Ecoflo compact biofilter must be at least 2” (50 mm) above the surface of the final landscaping grade.
Page 12 For more information on the Rewatec DiUV, such as technical data sheets and design or installation guides, go to PT-WaterEnvironment.com/ProSpace. Ensure that the profile of the final grade is such that runoff water flows away from the septic system, Ecoflo compact biofilter unit, and other septic system components.

EXCAVATION, BASE, AND INSTALLATION OF THE ECOFLO COMPACT BIOFILTER Excavate a sufficiently large area to free up approximately 12’’ (300 mm) around the Ecoflo compact biofilter. The excavated area for a 5.7 or 7.3 polyethylene unit will need 36” excavated on the long side to account for the anti-buoyancy system.
Page 16 ANCHORING 6.2.1 Anchoring kit for Ecoflo compact biofilter standalone models 28. 3.4, and 4.1 When you use the 6’’ main access riser instead of the 12’’ riser for installing biofilter models 2.8, 3.4, or 4.1 in sites with shallow depth, the unit must be anchored with geotextile before the final backfill to maximize its stability, as illustrated below.
Page 17 Begin with the two longest sides and end with the extremities. Note that the backfill material must be laid down rather than pushed. Do not compact the backfill material using the power shovel. When installing the Pack model of the Ecoflo compact biofilter, fill the Inlet pipe Pumped...
Page 18 Using the drill bit provided, pre-drill a hole on the opposite side and loosely fasten the riser to the Ecoflo compact biofilter (2). Drill a new hole only when the previous screw is positioned. Do not drill all holes at once.
Page 19 Note for pumped models: If the installation includes a dispersal area located at more than 100’ (30 m) from the Ecoflo compact biofilter, higher dosing volumes may need to be attained. Follow the instructions below to make the necessary adjustments to increase the dosing volume:...
Page 20 • When the pumping station is used, it is important to verify that the volume of water reaching the Ecoflo compact biofilter is of the order of 16 US gal (60 L) per hydraulic event (approximately 15 tipping bucket cycles for models 5.7 and 7.3 or 8 US gal (30 L) per hydraulic event (approximately 15 tipping bucket cycles for models 2.8, 3.4, and 4.1.
Page 21 This height is noted on the side of the risers for models 2.8, 3.4, and 4.1. Make sure that the profile of final grade is such that runoff water flows away from the septic system, the Ecoflo compact biofilter unit, and any other septic system components.
Page 22 (float tree, floats, pump) to make sure that everything is in the right place. If using a pump other than the one supplied with the Ecoflo compact biofilter, please ensure that its running amperage is compatible with the float tree’s electrical specifics above.
Page 23 For pump to gravity distribution, Premier Tech recommends a dose volume that is ¼ of daily design flow, four times a day.
Page 24 Note that no specific actions are needed from the owner to begin using the system. DON’T FORGET THE INSPECTION PERMIT, WHERE APPLICABLE. Polyethylene Ecoflo compact biofilter and Ecoflo compact biofilter Pack | Installation guide...
Page 25: Shipping And Handling
• Avoid using handling methods that may cause any damage. • Use the two lift rings (or lift straps provided with the Pack model) built into the upper casing of the Ecoflo compact biofilter to unload the unit. Otherwise, use a forklift with forks of sufficient length to pass all the way under the Ecoflo compact biofilter.
Page 26: Load Configuration
• The configuration depends on the type of vehicle used to ship the Ecoflo compact biofilter to the site. • It must have a minimum surface area of 14’ x 8’ (4.2 m x 2.4 m) to accommodate the Ecoflo compact biofilter.
