5.2.
EC unit
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)
will perform the maintenance of your EC unit. This visit has the double purpose of
verifying that all the components are operational and if the consumable Aluminium Electrodes need to be replaced. The pumping out of
the EC unit is not a regular procedure and must be performed only in the presence of a major system malfunction. It is important to
remember that a balance is established between the EC unit and the primary reactor, as long as the sludge pump operates normally.

Watertight sand filter
The maintenance of the watertight sand filter is limited to ensuring the proper working of the components of the Pumping Stations
(PAS-FAS and FAS-TLP).
