Services
Wastewater Treatment Systems
Our advanced wastewater treatment systems use patented floating media technology to achieve superior biological treatment. These systems consistently maintain effluent levels below 10mg/l BOD5 and TSS while eliminating odors and requiring minimal maintenance. Designed for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, they feature gravity flow operation, corrosion-resistant materials, and optional solar power integration for remote locations.
Marine Sanitation Systems
Custom marine sanitation solutions enable direct ocean discharge with zero ecological impact. Our systems include compact polyethylene tanks for houseboats, fishing lodges, and floating camps. Certified by Canadian regulatory authorities, these installations maintain effluent quality below measurable limits while operating quietly and requiring minimal maintenance through our 5-year warranty program.
Eco-Barge Installations
We design and implement eco-barge wastewater treatment systems for marine environments. These units feature integrated toilet facilities and sub-surface treatment chambers that meet stringent environmental standards. Our solutions include custom engineering for harbor installations, with proven performance in sensitive ecosystems like Rivers Inlet and Lake Okanagan.
Septic System Upgrades
We upgrade failing septic systems with advanced treatment technology that meets current regulatory requirements. Our solutions address soil percolation challenges, high water tables, and space constraints through innovative dispersal field designs. Systems include remote monitoring capabilities and can be integrated with existing infrastructure while maintaining compliance with provincial health standards.
Solar-Powered Systems
Our solar-powered wastewater treatment systems provide sustainable operation for remote locations. These energy-efficient installations maintain full treatment capacity while operating independently of grid power. Designed for marine applications and rural properties, they feature low-voltage components and battery backup systems to ensure continuous operation in low-light conditions.

Questions
What makes Go Green systems different from conventional septic tanks?
Our patented floating media technology provides superior biological treatment while preventing clogging and enabling easy maintenance, unlike traditional fixed media systems.
Can Go Green systems handle challenging soil conditions?
Yes, our systems work effectively in poor percolation soils through sand mound installations and pressurized dispersal fields that maintain treatment efficiency.
Are marine installations approved by regulatory authorities?
Yes, our marine systems meet Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans requirements and have been approved for direct ocean discharge applications.
What maintenance is required for Go Green systems?
Systems require minimal maintenance with our 5-year warranty covering tanks and media, and most installations operate trouble-free for extended periods.
Do you offer solutions for remote locations?
Yes, we provide solar-powered systems designed for off-grid operation in remote areas while maintaining full treatment capabilities.
How are systems sized for different applications?
We offer modular designs from 75-gallon units for single residences to 100,000-gallon systems for large commercial operations, ensuring proper capacity for each installation.
