1. Does the Filter Media ever need to be changed?
NO the Filter Media used in the OMNI RSFs will last for the life of the system. The ONLY circumstance that could require excavation of this material would be the intrusion of a foreign substance that can not be manually flushed out (i.e. oil, hazards wastes, high level of silt, clay or any other type of material the could render the filter bed surface impermeable.

5. Are there additional Sign-offs?
NO. The system should have the same type of Board of Health and Engineers sign-off proceedures. Most local authoraties do require valid Maintenance and Testing Contracts with system owners prior to issuing a Certificate of Compliance. This is the responsibility of the system owner.
