The Ontario government recommends the pumping out of septic tanks once every 3-5 years with normal use. Keeping the bacteria in your septic tank healthy and the accumulation of solids controlled will go a long way towards proper operation of the Waterloo Biofilter and the disposal bed that follow it. Homeowners contribute to the maintenance of their septic tank and Waterloo Biofilter unit with proper usage and by following the guidelines in their Homeowner Manual. In many cases your Waterloo Biofilter installer can provide these services as well, so you have a number of options. Waterloo Biofilter offers residential system services and also has a network of trained and authorized Service Providers across Ontario. Depress the white breaker switch to the ON position.
