How the Ecoflo ® operates
High quality protection from a filter
|
| |
|
|
Septic tank
The septic tank (primary treatment) retains the solids contained in wastewater. |
Effluent filter
The septic tank's effluent filter ensures that no coarse solid particles exit the septic tank. |
Shell and distribution system
Wastewater from the septic tank enters the fiberglass or concrete shell and is distributed over the entire surface of the filter thanks to a gravitational distribution system consisting of a tipping bucket and distribution pipes. The water is then passed through the filter and purified. |
Filter
The Ecoflo ® septic system uses natural, quality-controlled filter to treat wastewater. This organic filter provides high-quality protection by filtering pollutants and retaining them until their degradation. In fact, it is an actual physical barrier that extends the lifetime of the absorption bed. |
Absorption bed
Once the water has been treated, it is infiltrated and dispersed into the soil in an absorption bed, that is, an area of clean stone and a layer of natural soil located downstream from an Ecoflo ® with a bottom or under a bottomless Ecoflo ® (when soil conditions allow it). |
