Page 28: Operating And Maintenance Instructions
Contact your dealer if necessary or contact us for more details about the closest dealer to you. The summary below indicates the commissioning of your sewage treatment plant. Your sewage treatment plant can be free from any failures as the BIOROCK® system does not require electricity. (In normal operation, and following the maintenance recommendations) - Page 29 Please check how often you need to empty your Primary Tank in line with local regulations. Please check if the Primary Tank has the required efficiency that is required by BIOROCK. See page 9, Chapter 2.1. MAINTENANCE GUIDE FOR THE PRIMARY TANK (PT) AND THE EFFLUENT FILTER (EF)
- Page 30 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Effluent Filter cleaning and replacement The BIOROCK® effluent filter does not need to be cleaned. We advise you to replace it when the Primary tank is emptied, or when the filter is clogged, or after two years.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE 3.2 THE ECOROCK® TREATMENT UNIT The 10 years warranty shall only apply if the annual maintenance is carried out by a BIOROCK® approved installer or supervised by a trained BIOROCK® Certified professional MAINTENANCE PLANNING FOR THE ECOROCK-5000 SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT Only take a sample from running water. - Page 32 While replacing the bags of BIOROCK® Media, make sure that each layer of bags completely covers the surface of the unit, ensure that there is no free space between the bags. The bags of BIOROCK® Media should always overlap each other. Ensure that the aeration rings are put back to the same position and height.
- Page 33 If an inspection shows an increasing amount of suspended solids in the outgoing water (final effluent), or an accumulation of suspended solids at the top layer of BIOROCK® media, then the BIOROCK® media may need to be cleaned more thoroughly.
