Waterloo - Flat Bed Biofilters
Waterloo Biofilter Flat Beds are constructed of strong yet lightweight fibreglass shells containing the patented Biofilter filter media. Flat Bed treatment units are modular; additional Flat Beds can be installed in parallel or series to increase the total treatment capacity of the septic system. Wastewater is dosed to the Flat Beds via a small pump chamber with an electric or siphon pump (depending on site layout and elevations). Treated effluent gravity-drains out the bottom of the Flat Beds and flows directly into a disposal bed beneath.
Flat Beds are installed flush to grade and landscaped into the property with the supplied mulch or other porous covering. No distribution piping is required in the disposal bed resulting in a smaller system footprint and faster installation. With their low profile, Flat Beds can be installed in areas of high groundwater or bedrock without destroying the aesthetics of the property.
Flat Beds operate in a single-pass mode. The only moving part is a single high-quality, energy efficient 1/2 horsepower effluent pump that operates intermittently throughout the day.
