How does the Astra septic tank work?

All wastewater treatment rates in Astra septic tanks are fully automated.

In the first stage, sewage through the sewer pipes enters the first chamber in the , where they settle down, heavy large impurities are separated, ammonium is removed. Then, the primary cleared water by special airlift is pumped to the second compartment of the septic tank called aeration tank .Here the waste is biochemically purified with active sludge. In an oxygen-containing medium, organic compounds are oxidized and removed from the treated waters. The next compartment( secondary settler ) is designed for final cleaning and clarification of domestic wastewater. Here silt completely settles on the bottom of the chamber. When the secondary settler is filled with a pump, the sludge is pumped to the stabilizing chamber .In this chamber, the waste is stabilized, after which they can safely be used for fertilizing soil as a fertilizer.

How to install an Astra septic tank?

All septic tanks in the Astra range are compact and light in weight, which positively affects their transportation, unloading and installation. The surface of the cleaning chambers is made white, and the lid, which protrudes above the ground, is green, so the septic tank looks very neat and aesthetic.

Before buying a septic tank, we determine the amount of water used per day. We calculate the 200 liters per day for one person( for permanent residence).After that the selects the volume of the septic tank , measure its dimensions and proceed to the preparation of the excavation .

The pit is digging in a rectangular or square shape according to the size of the septic tank, leaving a margin of 20 cm on each side. Then prepare trenches for supply and discharge sewer pipes. To facilitate the excavation process, you can use a special technique to not damage your own health with heavy loads.

At the bottom of the excavation a layer of gravel and sand ( pillow) is covered, carefully ramming. On this pillow set a septic tank, strictly checking its verticality. To install a septic tank, a minimum of three people will be required. The working chamber is moved to a horizontal position, tied with ropes and gently lowered to the bottom of the pit, after which the septic tank is turned into a vertical position.

. Further, the supply and discharge pipes are connected, treating all joints with a sealant.

The then connects the cable, and also produces the assembly of the compressor, based on the instructions. After that, a complete system check is performed.

Maintenance of a septic tank and additional components of the

system The maintenance of a septic tank is to pump excess sludge with a pump. This operation will have to be performed quite seldom, even with the constant use of the system at the maximum daily volumes of discharge water.

To improve the efficiency of a septic tank, you may need:

• - biologically active bacteria for a septic tank, accelerating the process of filtration and decomposition;
• - special wire for heating and defrosting pipes in winter;
• - additional filters;
• - control unit "Astra".

In compliance with all installation technologies, the Astra septic tank will last for a long time without emergency interruptions, saving the owners' money on a sewer call.
