Maintenance
Regulation governing wastewater disposal systems for isolated dwellings (Q-2, r.22) stipulates in the following articles that,
•
3.3 Maintenance contract:
The owner of a treatment system referred to in section 11.1, 16.1, 87.7 or 87.13 must have a binding
contract with the system manufacturer, the manufacturer's representative or a qualified third person in which it is stipulated that
minimum annual maintenance will be performed on the system.
•
The owner of the system must deposit a copy of the contract with the local municipality in which the isolated dwelling or the other
building served by the treatment system is situated.
•
87.16. Installation, use and maintenance:
Every tertiary treatment system with phosphorous removal, tertiary treatment system
with disinfection and the tertiary treatment system with phosphorous removal and disinfection must be installed, used and
maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's manuals.
The regular maintenance of your phosphorus removal unit (DpEC) followed or not by a watertight sand filter will ensure that your
warranty remains valid and that the treatment performances are reached before any effluent is discharged from the system. Premier
Tech strongly recommends that a maintenance visit be done every 6 months, and that, for the entire lifetime of your system. The
maintenance visit must be performed by a qualified service technician from the Premier Tech network of service partners or a qualified
third party as referred to in section 1x.2) of the
Regulation respecting waste water disposal systems for isolated dwellings (Q-2, r.22)
.
All of the access lids of your treatment system as well as the control panel, must be accessible to the maintenance technician at all
times. We recommend that you keep all invoices and documents returned to you as proof of the regular maintenance of your system.
5.1.
Primary reactor
The pumping out of the primary reactor must be performed when the sludge contained in the first compartment of the primary reactor
reaches a level of 70 to 75% of its overall height. Should the measured level justify this procedure, the maintenance technician will
advise the owner. It becomes the owner’s responsibility to take the appropriate actions: failing to do so may cause your treatment
system to fail and its performances to deteriorate.
If your residence is equipped with a garbage disposal system or a disposal pump, we strongly recommend that you empty your
primary reactor more often. The use of this type of device increases the amount of sludge in the primary reactor.
We recommend that you keep proof of the pumping out of your primary reactor (invoices) along with this Owner’s Manual so as to
keep a record of complete treatment system maintenance.
IMPORTANT: there are different types of pumping out procedures and they can be divided into two categories, namely a complete
pumping out and a selective or partial pumping out. It is mandatory to opt for a complete pumping out of the primary reactor. This can
be easily verified as the primary reactor should be completely empty when the vacuum truck leaves. To ensure a better protection of
your system and to receive service pumping out services that are well adapted to your needs, Premier Tech recommends that you
contact a local Premier Tech service partner or a qualified third party as referred to in section 1x.2) of the
Regulation respecting waste
water disposal systems for isolated dwellings (Q-2, r.22)
to perform the maintenance of your primary reactor.
5.1.1.
Flow Regulator
Under normal working conditions, such as the ones described in the present document, the Flow Regulator will operate for many
years. It must however be cleaned and inspected at every maintenance visit and primary reactor pump out.
