BC Septic Pro in southwest British Columbia often encounters compact lots, or properties where it’s difficult to keep the necessary separation between drainfield trenches and groundwater or bedrock.
In such situations, owner Jesse Brown often relies on Ecoflo biofilter systems (Premier Tech) that use natural coconut husk filter media. “TSS and BOD levels are so low by the time the effluent leaves the septic tank and passes through the coconut husks, that I can site systems on very small vertical separation,” Brown says.“The effluent is almost fully treated, so I don’t need 5 feet of vertical separation. The beautiful thing about
