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 Aqua, Quebec, 604/346-8199; www.premiertech.com; www. ecoflobiofilter.com INNOVATIONS PRECAST Onsite wastewater treatment spurs opportunities for precasters Concrete model of Ecoflo Coco Filter from Premier Tech Aqua.

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, Princeton, Minn., www.SRWproducts. com Stone adhesive goes vertical
