Premier Tech Aqua achieves a breakthrough in innovative and sustainable septic solutions with the newly NSF-certified Ecoflo® Coco Filter
Québec, Canada, July 15, 2014 – After 30 years of R&D efforts and the continuous improvement of its compact biofiltration technologies for the onsite wastewater treatment industry, Premier Tech Aqua (PTA), a Business Unit of the Environmental Technologies Group of Premier Tech, announces today that it has achieved a breakthrough and proudly launches its recently NSF International certified Ecoflo Coco Filter.
In addition to its existing line of award-winning and eco-friendly Ecoflo Biofilter septic solutions, the new Ecoflo Coco Filter is a model of sustainable development – a permanent septic installation that fully protects ecosystems using a filtering media mindful of its impact on the environment and the prosperity of future generations.
The system is based on an innovative, 100% natural coco husk fragment-based filtering media that biologically treats pollutants and acts as a barrier to retain solids. As with any filter, the media has to be replaced after usage, and the choice of natural organic filtering media used in any Ecoflo model allows for recycling of the spent filtering media at the end of its useful life to produce renewable energy or a compost for soil amendment. Most of the other filtering media utilized in onsite septic systems, such as sand, textile or foam, create unwanted trash at the end of their useful life.
With a filtering media capable of sustaining a 40% increase of treatment capacity, the Ecoflo Coco Filter offers a significantly more compact filtering media surface and treats wastewater with no energy. Homeowners can enjoy the same high-performance and low-maintenance septic solution as Ecoflo Biofilter, but in a 40% smaller shell. Customers benefit from the best ratio in terms of price, quality, performance, durability and sustainability for any onsite wastewater treatment product currently available on the market.
« This new Ecoflo product line is the result of years of sustained research work from our R&D team who have focused on the development of recyclable filtering media offering high performances and durability at a competitive price. The vast expertise and commitment of our multidisciplinary research team are the reasons why Premier Tech Aqua continually pushes the limits of our sustainable compact biofilter technologies. This NSF International certification reaffirms our expertise and commitment towards bringing innovative, affordable and green technologies to the market and to customers. », added Mr. Roger Lacasse, Vice-President of Research & Development at Premier Tech Aqua.
