Designed and manufactured by Premier Tech Environment of Canada since 1994, the Ecoflo® Biofilter system is a proven, permanent alternative for on-site wastewater treatment management.  The Ecoflo® is a high-performance, peat-based biofilter designed to treat wastewater from the septic tank of a single-family home, small communities, or low-flow commercial applications.  The system uses a high filtering medium that retains its purifying capacities over time.  The Ecoflo® is an affordable alternative for homeowners who need to replace their existing systems, for land owners where high ground water or drainfield restrictions are a problem and for those who are environmentally conscious.

 

The operation of the Ecoflo® Biofilter is quite simple.  Wastewater from a septic tanks flows into the shell and is dispersed over the surface of the filter bed by a gravity-based distribution system.  The wastewater is treated by percolating through the peat-based filter bed and is then discharged by infiltration into the ground. 

 

Unlike conventional systems which treat wastewater through soil absorption, the Ecoflo® Biofilter uses a high-performance filtering medium that retains its purifying capacities over time.  The Ecoflo® produces superior effluent quality and removes 99% of fecal coliforms and in excess of 90% of organics and solids which can cause drainfield damage, environmental pollution and health hazards.  A conventional septic tank disperses effluent directly into the drainfield either through pumping or by gravity.  The Ecoflo® Biofilter acts as a pre-treatment device between your drainfield and septic tank.

The Ecoflo® is ideal for:
