Homeowner Do's and Don'ts
To ensure optimum performance of the Puraflo peat fiber biofilter system, the following Do’s and
Do Not’s should be followed:
Don’t:
Dig in your drainfield or build anything
permanent over it
Plant anything over your drainfield except
grass
Drive over your drainfield or compact the
soil in any way
Attempt any homeowner maintenance to
the septic tank, pump tank, electrical
controls or treatment modules – do not
remove caps or covers as potentially
hazardous gases and waste matter are
contained in the treatment tanks which
may result in death or bodily injury
Place heavy objects on or drive across your
treatment system
Bury or cover the modules with soil as the
Puraflo treatment is an aerobic process
that requires free passage of air through
the module lids
Do:
Maintain a stabilized/grassed landscaped
area around the modules in order to prevent
soil erosion (plants and suitable shrubs can
also be used to enhance the appearance of
the system)
Keep ant nests and other pests out of the
treatment modules by dosing externally
with suitable insecticides and pest controls
as necessary
Divert down spouts and other surface
water away from the system and drainfield
Keep your septic tank cover accessible for
tank inspections and pumping
Have your septic tank pumped regularly
and checked for leaks and cracks
Have the effluent filter cleaned annually
Test the pump alarm occasionally
(as applicable) by briefly activating the
test switch on the alarm
In the event of the alarm sounding after
electrical storms or power failure, check if
the electrical circuit-breakers tripped off
by first turning them off and then turning
them back on again
Call your Authorized Service Provider when
you have problems
