Hi Mrs Bell,
Welcome to

A quick search of AAM resulted in this selection
And this thread discusses them in some detail.

This post mentions unspecified problems.

From this it seems that Envirocare appears to be Klargester.
---------------------------
If this is so, from what I recall [I have never specified them], Klargester appears to be a mid range system with a relatively low annual charge compared to say Biocycle [ circa €100 or so -vs- €230 in the posts ].
Posters have commented that the higher Biocycle cost includes for replacing the pump, but I do not have separate confirmation of this.
A search on Google using terms like "problem" and "replacement" in conjunction with "Envirocare P6" did not yield a lot of hits
.
Have you checked whether this is covered under a warranty?
Machines require maintenance, repair and replacement.
Perhaps others can comment.

There is the possibility that stringent new requirements may be coming down the line.

Depending on the quality of the system - as installed - yours may be acceptable if maintained - hard to say.
What I suggest is that you contact a competent and registered Site Assessor who may be able to give you some feedback based on his experience.

- I cannot recommend them as I haven't experience of them.
You could ask him both about the compliance of your system and whether it complies with the EU ruling.
Make sure he isn't also a selling agent for any wastewater system - you want
independent advice.

Your waste management services agreement contract may have been required by a condition of your planning permission in relation to the operation of your septic tank.
Changing to a different pump, or system, or servicing agent may therefore require a revision to your planning permission or a letter to the Council seeking agreement.
