A SOLUTION ADAPTED TO TODAY’S LIFESTYLES
Today’s lifestyles have a major impact on a home’s wastewater production. The Ecoflo technology offers you the best wastewater treatment performance and greatest stability under all conditions. Its patented filtering media acts as a true physical barrier that protects the existing soil and absorption bed. Ecoflo provides high performance immediately after start-up and a trouble-free use of the system.
Ecoflo is a passive system that uses a 100% natural filtering media to treat wastewater. No electricity is needed for the treatment.
Septic tank (plastic or concrete)Clarifies wastewater from the residence by retaining solids.
Effluent filterPrevents coarse particles (larger than 1.6 mm/0.06”) from entering the Ecoflo.
Ecoflo® unitThe Ecoflo model and configuration of the treatment chain is determined by the design flow, site topography and the natural soil conditions of the site. Models are available in fiberglass, concrete and ready-to-use polyethylene tanks.
Tipping bucket and distribution platesUniformly distributes, with no energy, wastewaters to be treated on the entire surface of the filtering media.
Filtering mediaWastewater percolates through the 100% organic filtering media, made of a layer of peat and overlaying a layer of coconut husk fragments, which act as a physical barrier to retain and treat contaminants.
Dispersal bed 99% treated, Ecoflo effluent finally infiltrates the ground through a Type A or B Dispersal Beds or Shallow Buried Trench. Type A Dispersal Bed can be located directly underneath an open bottom Ecoflo Biofilter .

Treatment performance under CAN/BNQ test platform
20 years of innovation have resulted in the continuous improvement of the best onsite wastewater treatment with regard to performance, flexibility and reliability for homeowners, small communities and small businesses. Today, 80% of all installed filters last longer than their initial warranty period (8 or 10 years)!
The system has been tested in both North America and Europe by third party entities. Results provide clear evidence of its high performance and reliability under all test conditions. Each time, the effluent quality exceeded standards.

By simulating today’s lifestyles (intermittent use, variable flow, zero-flow, overload, power or equipment failure), the Ecoflo achieved the best results during comparative tests. The system also successfully passed all required EN Standard 12566-3 tests and is CAN/BNQ certified in Canada and CE in Europe. Note that other systems, including suspended or fixed growth aerobic treatment units, are not permitted in France for intermittent use.
Ecoflo® has been tested on the NSF testing platform (after completion of a 26-week standard testing period) in particular stress test conditions simulating vacation house rentals or secondary homes used mainly on weekends.

PREVENTING BY MAINTAININGA well-designed, properly installed and annually maintained septic system ensures optimal wastewater treatment performances and savings for the owner. Each new Premier Tech Aqua system is protected by the benefits of a Start-Up Visit and a complete Annual Maintenance Program for the life of the system. For real peace of mind!
FILTERING MEDIA FOR LIFEAll PTA residential septic installations are covered by a lifetime warranty on the 100% natural and recyclable filtering media. At the end of its useful life, there are no additional costs for the new media. The only fee is for its safe disposal into the environment.
RESIDENTIAL SEPTIC SYSTEMSThe annual visit includes a 15-point inspection on the filtering media and internal components of each Ecoflo® Biofilter. Thanks to the inspection visit, homeowners can know the condition of their system year after year.
COMMERCIAL AND COMMUNITY SEPTIC SYSTEMSSystem start-ups are provided by a team of certified technicians who ensure the proper functioning of all equipment. This team also offers environmental follow-ups in compliance with local regulation.
