2.3
What you must know
Owner’s responsibility
The owner must respect all existing laws and regulations regarding the system’s effluent quality and its discharge into the environment.
Passive disinfection filter (FDi) outlet
When work has to be executed on the lot after the septic system’s installation (e.g.: landscaping, yard maintenance, etc.), it is
imperative that the owner maintains the system’s drainage by avoiding blocking the gravel zone which constitutes the outlet.
Keep heavy objects off your septic system
Never drive a vehicle or place objects weighing more than 225 kg (500 lb) within 3 m (10') of the passive disinfection filter (FDi). If you
are planning to do some landscaping or any other type of work, make sure you advise those involved so they do not damage your
septic system. Do not let snow (shovelled or blown) accumulate on top of the septic system, the overload could damage it. For those
previous reasons, it is recommended to mark and indicate the location of your system’s components.
About your home
Your home must be equipped with an air vent that is in proper working order and all plumbing must comply with the applicable
standards of your municipality’s building code. Premier Tech strongly recommends using a 100 mm (4") diameter pipe for the air vent.
Any change in the use of your building or modification to your Ecoflo biofilter or passive disinfection filter (FDi) must be authorized by
your local authorities. Premier Tech must also be informed of such changes or modifications. Otherwise, the warranty of your Ecoflo
biofilter and passive disinfection filter (FDi) will be null and void.
2.4
Commissioning
During the commissioning, make sure that the owner has read the following instructions.
The owner has no action to perform to put the system into operation, he must however ensure:
•
that the professional electrician has made all electrical connections
•
that the alarm box is functional
•
to comply with instructions described in the owner’s manual
In addition, if the commissioning is taking place during a cold season, contact the Premier Tech After-Sales Service Department to
guide you in the process.
2.5
Intermittent or extended absence and winter closure
The operating principle of the Ecoflo biofilter followed with the passive disinfection filter (FDi) allows a permanent or intermittent use of
the system without an any impact on the quality of the treatment and with no necessary precaution.
However, if the owner must be away for an extended period or completely close their residence during cold season, please contact
Premier Tech After-Sales Service Department to guide you through the process.
