Cast across North America by local precasters, and inte-
grated into standard size septic tanks, Premier Tech Aqua's
Ecoflo Coco Biofilter is widely recognized as an ecological
and durable compact filter for onsite wastewater treatment
systems. By combining their concrete fabrication expertise
with Ecoflo developer Premier Tech, precast producers have
gained a stronger foothold in the residential market by
giving a new purpose to their existing tanks. Compact, easy-
to-install and lift, the filter's modular design can also be
scaled to fit most types of commercial applications.
Refined over the last 20 years by a research & devel-
opment team keen on small flow wastewater treatment,
Ecoflo offers a 40 percent increase in treatment capacity
owing to an innovative, 100-percent natural coco husk
fragment-based filtering media—a coco process byproduct.
At the end of its service life, the filter can be recycled
as a nutrient-rich soil amendment prized by agricultural
professionals.
With a strong system base of 170,000 individual home
systems and the protection of a 10-year warranty on the
treatment performances, Premier Tech officials present
Ecoflo as the most recommended and installed compact
filter for precast concrete septic tank. — Premier Tech

Vertical Instant Lock is designed to
securely affix stone and other hard-
scape materials to vertical surfaces in
under five seconds. For many projects,
product developers note, it can elimi-
nate the need for bracing and mortar.
"When it comes to vertical
applications, Vertical Instant Lock
outperforms polyurethane- and sil-
icone-based adhesive products,"
contends SRW Products CEO David
Orton. "This is a game changer for
contractors and home owners because
there are not any other adhesives
available that are designed specifically
for vertical installations. We've put
Vertical Instant Lock Adhesive to the
test, securing stone pavers as heavy
as 25 pounds to a wall. Our customers
who have seen this product in action
have been quite impressed with how
quickly a secure bond forms even with
fairly heavy stone."
Application of stone, block, brick,
tile, metal, glass and wood can be
completed quickly and easily, he adds,
without the mess and hassle that are
usually involved with vertical surfaces
and conditions. — SRW Products,
