When we share the price of Ecoflo septic systems, we refer to the total cost of the project.
The total project cost is more than just the Ecoflo product itself. It also includes the septic tank, septic drain field, and other expenses that would be added to any septic system budget, such as:
- soil tests
- system design
- permits
- materials
- installation
- labour
The cost does not include tertiary treatment technologies that may be required by regulations in your area. These technologies may include UV disinfection, passive disinfection, and nitrogen reduction.

Ecoflo compact biofilter costs
The Ecoflo compact biofilter can be installed on virtually any property. Often, it is a solution for homes and cottages with small lots, impermeable soils, or limited access.
Most models receive wastewater from your septic tank. They remove contaminants with a coco filter, then send wastewater downstream for further treatment or safe dispersal.
The cost of the Ecoflo compact biofilter depends on the province where you live, and how easy it is to install a septic system on your property.
Compact biofilter: Total project costs for simple sites
The simplest sites have large surface areas, easy access, permeable soils, and flat ground.
To estimate the total cost of a project on a simple site, let's assume that you choose one of the most popular Ecoflo compact biofilter models in Canada: the polyethylene unit for a three-bedroom home.
| Province | New construction or system replacement |
| Alberta | $25,000 - $30,000 |
| British Columbia | $20,000 - $25,000 |
| Ontario | $22,000 - $35,000 |
| Québec | $13,000 - $18,500 |
Compact biofilter: Total project costs for difficult sites
Complex sites may have small surface areas, limited access, shallow or slow-draining soils, or steep slopes.
These factors make it more difficult to move wastewater downstream and return it to the environment. Extra materials and longer installation times may be needed to overcome these challenges.
To estimate the total cost of a project on a difficult site, let's assume again that you choose the polyethylene Ecoflo compact biofilter for a three-bedroom home.
| Province | New construction or system replacement |
| Alberta | $30,000 - $40,000 |
| British Columbia | $25,000 - $30,000 |
| Ontario | $28,000 - $38,000 |
| Québec | $14,500 - $25,000 |
Ecoflo linear biofilter costs
The newly released Ecoflo linear biofilter is available only in Ontario for now. It is best for homes and cottages with appropriate space and soil for a limited septic drain field.
The system receives wastewater from your septic tank. It then sends measured doses through a distribution network. The network evenly disperses wastewater over the length of a coco filtration pad. The pad removes contaminants and allows treated effluent to infiltrate into the soil below.
The cost of the Ecoflo linear biofilter depends on the level of difficulty for a septic system installation on your property.
Linear biofilter: Total project costs for simple sites
The simplest sites share four main characteristics: they have large surface areas, easy access, permeable soils, and flat ground.
To estimate the total cost of a project on a simple site, let's assume that you install the Ecoflo linear biofilter for a three-bedroom home.
| Province | New construction or system replacement |
| Ontario | $19,000 - $32,000 |
Linear biofilter: Total project costs for difficult sites
Sites are considered complex if they have small surface areas, limited access, shallow or slow-draining soils, or steep slopes.
Experienced septic contractors can overcome these challenges. But they may require extra materials and more time to successfully install your system.
To estimate the total cost of a project on a difficult site, let's again say that you are installing the Ecoflo linear biofilter for a three-bedroom home.

| Ontario | $25,000 - $35,000 |
