When we share the price of Ecoflo septic systems, we refer to the total cost of the project.
The total project cost is more than just the Ecoflo product itself. It also includes the septic tank, septic drain field, and other expenses that would be added to any septic system budget, such as:
- soil tests
- system design
- permits
- materials
- installation
- labor
The cost does not include tertiary treatment technologies that may be required by regulations in your area. These technologies may include UV disinfection or nitrogen reduction.
Total project costs for simple sites
The simplest sites have large surface areas, easy access, permeable soils, and flat ground.
To estimate the total cost of a project on a simple site, let's assume that you choose one of the most popular Ecoflo compact biofilter models in the United States: the polyethylene unit for a three-bedroom home.
| State |
New construction or system replacement |
| Arizona |
$23,000 - $27,000 |
| California |
$26,500 - $29,000 |
| Illinois |
$18,000 - $23,000 |
| Iowa |
$14,000 - $18,000 |
| New Jersey |
$25,000 - $40,000 |
| New York |
$20,000 - $25,000 |
| Pennsylvania |
$22,500 - $28,500 |
| Vermont |
$23,000 - $28,000 |
| Virginia |
$16,000 - $20,000 |
Total project costs for difficult sites
Complex sites may have small surface areas, limited access, shallow or slow-draining soils, or steep slopes.
These factors make it more difficult to move wastewater downstream and return it to the environment. Extra materials and longer installation times may be needed to overcome these challenges.
To estimate the total cost of a project on a difficult site, let's assume again that you choose the polyethylene Ecoflo compact biofilter for a three-bedroom home.
