Introducing Substances to the System
The Puraflo peat fiber biofilter is designed for the treatment of domestic strength wastewater from
residences or other waste flows with similar wastewater strength characteristics. While the Puraflo
peat fiber biofilter will process most waste produced by the average household, in order to prevent
malfunctions, and to ensure optimum performance of the system, the following guidelines should
be followed:
Don’t:
Overload the system by introducing waste-
water flows greater than the design flow
Flush excessive amounts of grease, oil or
fat into your septic system
Dump excessive amounts of disinfectants,
cleaners or detergents (normal amounts
will not harm the system)
Allow storm water into your septic system
(storm water drains should not be connected
to the septic tank and landscaping should
divert storm water away from the modules)
Use additives (septic tank additives should
not be introduced into the septic tank for
grease reduction, stimulation of biological
activity or other purposes)
Dispose of large quantities of organic mate-
rial through a garbage grinder as this may
organically overload the system and cause
more frequent pumping of the septic tank
Flush cigarettes, tea bags, sanitary napkins,
tampons, diapers, condoms and other
non-biodegradable products capable of
blocking pipes or filters into your system
Dump solvents, oils, paints, thinners,
pesticides or poisons down the drain which
can disrupt the treatment process and
contaminate the groundwater
Dispose of water softener waste directly
into the septic system (where practical
design a separate disposal system or
balance flows into the septic system)
Do:
Conserve water to reduce the amount of
wastewater that must be treated and
dispersed
Repair any leaking faucets and toilets
(very important!)
