Why is Ecoflo sustainable?

From production and shipping to installation, maintenance, and usage, Ecoflo has the lowest carbon footprint of any comparable product on the market – and the numbers to prove it. 

Notes

• Based on analyses of septic installations in Québec. 
• Systems installed in low-permeability soil and rated for three-bedroom homes. 
• Distances between installations and required materials assumed to be 60 km for filtration sand and stone, 33 km for backfill. 
• Ecoflo installations include Premier Tech compact sand filter. 

How does Ecoflo work?

Wastewater first flows into a septic tank, where liquids separate from solids. Solids settle on the bottom of the tank and liquids flow into the Ecoflo biofilter for treatment. 

Inside Ecoflo, a non-mechanical tipping bucket scatters wastewater across perforated distribution plates. Wastewater drips through these plates and falls across a filter made of coconut husk fragments or a combination of coco and peat. 

This filter is the heart of Ecoflo. It creates a physical barrier that captures and removes wastewater pollutants. 

After percolating through the all-natural filter, wastewater flows downstream for additional treatment or for safe discharge into the environment.
