Petrol or diesel
Pesticides
Acceptable in normal conditions and usage. Excess amounts of biological detergent can
affect the biomass development. If you have to use an unusual amount, it may be a good
idea to spread it over a few days.
o
In applications that produce large volumes of grease (e.g. commercial kitchens) it is
advised that a suitably sized grease trap is installed and maintained effectively to ensure
the correct operation of the Tricel Puraflo system. Fats or grease present in the system
will greatly reduce the operating efficiency of the system and will greatly reduce the life
expectancy of the peat fibre.
o
Generally speaking, all common household cleaning fluids are acceptable, provided they
are used in accordance with the maker’s instructions and stipulated concentrations.

Do not allow any of the following to enter the Tricel Puraflo system:

•
Service personnel must be accommodated with clear access to the system.
•
If others size the system, we will supply to these specifications. In this case, the
responsibility lies with others in relation to the maximum flow/litres per day, the system
capacity and retention times. Similarly, if we size the system and a greater load is placed on
the system by the addition of extra houses, bedrooms, schools, crèche’s etc., or by other
means, we are not responsible for the system in terms of overloading or quality of effluent
as the retention times may be compromised.
•
The modules are not suitable for vehicular traffic. We also recommend fencing off the area
to prevent livestock herds from accessing the system.
•
There must be no load placed on the lids of the Puraflo modules and the lids must not be
covered.
•
There must be no vegetation planted in the ground adjacent to the Puraflo modules.
•
In the event that a non-Tricel approved installer is installing the system, please ensure that
the installer has the required skills and knowledge to ensure that the system is installed
correctly.
