The device of the canalization of a country house

Design features of various types of septic tanks

Septic tanks are:

1. Multi-chamber, in which the effluents are decomposed by bacteria, gradually passing through several chambers within ten days. After a similar cleaning, the drains are completely harmless and can be released even into the river or go to watering the garden. However, maintenance of such structures is quite expensive and suitable for centralized sewerage, intended immediately for a large number of houses( up to 200).
2. Small single-chamber. Are applied in the event that the household uses water not more than 1 cubic meter a day.
3. Small two- and three-chamber, the device of which looks as follows:

• capacity of large sizes, which initially fall waste. It precipitates solid and large waste, where it subsequently becomes silt due to bacteria. Twice a year this sludge must be pumped out, leaving about a sixth of the silt.
• next to the large is a small container, separated by a partition. Here, small solid parts are defended, turning into silt. It should be pumped out with the same frequency.
• drainage system or filtering well, designed to drain sedimented waters into the ground. If there is no drainage system in such septic tanks, then the chambers will have to be cleaned with the help of sewers.

How to make a septic tank with your own hands

The material for a septic tank largely determines the cost of construction of a sewerage system and the laboriousness of the process. Basically, plastic septic tank, prefabricated reinforced concrete, brick, monolithic concrete are used. When choosing a material, some factors should be taken into account:

1. Prefabricated reinforced concrete is suitable for single-chamber structures. The main advantages are high strength, water resistance, high density, durability, resistance to erosion, speed of installation.
2. If you have to choose between brick and solid concrete, then a brick brick is preferable, since construction will be easier and faster. Monolithic concrete in the installation is very laborious.
3. Plastic septic tank, you can say, is completely ready. The whole process of installation is only to install it correctly. However, with all its advantages, durability and reliability, its price is very high. In addition, the ground pressure on the walls should be taken into account, since the plastic may not withstand high pressure. If a plastic septic tank is installed in a dacha where it is known that there is a sufficiently high groundwater level in this area, a light container will constantly fluctuate under the pressure of the water from the outside, and all the joints of the pipeline may be depressurized from this loosening and the slope of the sewage system will be violated. Therefore, the only way out is by concreting the plastic container and building above it a monolithic or precast reinforced concrete floor. This in turn will make the construction even more expensive.
4. For two-chamber septic tanks it is convenient and inexpensive to construct containers from solid concrete or brick. In this case it is necessary to build two wells.

Ready-to-use wastewater treatment plants

Let's consider ready-to-use wastewater treatment plants of the type Septic Topas and Septic Tank

Septic Tapas

Septic Tapas is specifically designed for processing and further disposal of fecal waste. Our people are not yet accustomed to such a comfortable device and believe that it is enough to dig a cesspool and cover it with concrete rings, without concreting the bottom so that excess moisture seeps into the soil. But this opinion is erroneous and, moreover, dangerous, because because of such negligence regarding the disposal of feces, groundwater contamination occurs.

Therefore, to save on the device a septic tank in its suburban area is not worth it. The best solution is the septic tank Topas. Cleaning in it turns out qualitative and without any unpleasant smells

Septic tank

This is a reliable, fully autonomous, independent sewerage, specially designed for country houses. The design of this model is molded polypropylene, reinforced with stiffening ribs, with a wall thickness of 10 mm, and in the ribs 17 mm. This is an excellent example of a multi-chamber design, the principle of operation of which has been described above.

Therefore, when choosing a septic tank for your site, consider the cost, simplicity or complexity of the installation. Cheap, as a rule, difficult to arrange, and expensive options are more effective and easy to install. The choice is yours!
