WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Puraflo Maintenance

OVERVIEW

Tricel Puraflo modules are used after a septic tank as a secondary treatment plant. ​

From June 2022, a new generation of Puraflo modules are available, using coconut fibre as media instead of peat and provides a very high treatment efficiency.

Puraflo modules are ideal for use in areas of outstanding natural beauty where effluent quality is paramount, as well as for holiday homes, campsites and schools with intermittent usage. Initially supplied by Bord Na Mona (ANUA), the Puraflo system is supplied now by Tricel. Discover more information about Tricel Puraflo.

For Tertiary Treatment, check out the Tricel Tero.

Available in a one year to a ten-year contract, starting at €195, Tricel’s service agreement covers travel, the service and the labour cost of servicing only. Other labour costs are excluded, as are all replacement parts.

Where can I buy replacement Peat fibre for my Puraflo?

Coconut fibre

Bord na Móna, the only official approved supplier of peat is no longer harvesting peat in Ireland. As a replacement, Tricel has developed and offers Puraflo replacement kits with Coconut fibre ensuring your Puraflo modules carry on being maintained and keep on treating the effluent to the same high standards.

Replacement coconut fibre (coir fibre) or kits for Puraflo modules are available from Tricel.
