How to choose the most convenient country toilet and shower
Someone is building a country house on the assumption that there will be a cesspool nearby for a cottage toilet with a wooden booth, some people on the street seem completely unacceptable option. And it all depends on how the site will be used by you. If for periodic trips in the summer months, breathe the fresh air, then walk to the booth even in the late evening or in the middle of the night will be a pleasure. But if you are going to live outside the city, you will hardly want to wade through snowdrifts to the country toilet and shower among winters. Based on these considerations, we will plan.
In general, even individual wooden country cottages and showers do not necessarily have to be cold. If you are divorced in the communication area, there is a furnace room on the ground floor, then stretch the pipes to the booths and put the radiators there will not be more difficult than laying the drainage. The amenities in the yard can be made in the form of small logs from a single log
If you are on site only in the summer, you can use a small skeleton booth with a stretch of oilcloth on the stands for bathing, from the top you can install a tank filled with a faucet and a watering can in the base. In principle, in the same way it is possible to design a fully enclosed shower, using a solar collector at the same time to heat the water during the day in clear weather( which will save a lot of money).Also for short trips to the dacha you can use a shower with a foot pump.
Toilet in the suburban area - what can you come up with
Yama is not always the easiest solution in terms of labor. In this respect, it is better to make a country peat toilet: you can wait with the shower, but the toilet is extremely important. And the option with peat, which is distributed through the dispenser on the bottom of the container, deserves the prefix "bio".Capacity is hidden not under the ground, but directly inside the booth, more precisely, it combines both the seat and the container, which must be emptied from time to time. But, taking into account the fact that all waste products become compost, which can be used to fertilize the soil, the landlord has such a toilet in the suburban area rather beneficial.
For cesspools special disinfecting biologics are produced, which are based on natural microorganisms that can partially recycle waste and reduce odor.
A bunk for a peat version needs a small one, only 130x100 centimeters, and there is absolutely no need to engage in excavation. All the work you can invest in the design of the building, in which it is necessary to provide for the ventilation pipe for connection with the peat container. But the smell, because of which beautiful country cottages and cesspools are badly combined, will not bother you in the future.
You can also use another, similar type - chemical. A very light portable toilet, being unfilled, weighs no more than 3 kilograms and is easily transported. This is an undoubted plus for a summer restroom, the downside is that you can not get fertilizers, all the products of vital activity dissolve a special means for the country toilet, eliminating odors at the same time. The composition is poured into the lower compartment of the container, the upper one is diverted for 15 liters of water, which is flushed. If the peat variant needs to be emptied once a month, the chemical is filled by three family members in 4 days .If there is an indicator, it always tells when it's time to release the bottom capacity.
An odorless toilet without toilet is a septic tank as an alternative to the
pit. In rural areas, there is usually no access to a sewage network, and hardly anyone has the means to stretch the pipes from the nearest city. Therefore it is necessary to use an autonomous toilet in the holiday house, which requires periodic cleaning. Yes, there may be a cesspool and is convenient - when filled, you can dig another. But smells and labor intensity do not justify such an option. If you need a country toilet without a smell, the septic tank will serve much better than any other sewer system.
There are several types of septic tank, the simplest one is a container filled with waste products as you use the toilet, as well as plums in the kitchen and shower. Somewhat more expensive, although much more effective, is a three-stage cleaning system. As already clear from the name, it consists of three tanks through which the sink runs. In the first tank, filled with water, anything that can settle, sinks to the bottom, the rest floats up. After this separation, the wastewater enters the next tank through a branch pipe located on the third part of the septic tank height. Next, the bacteria are taken for work, which is abundant in the drained mass, that is, you do not need a bioactivator for country restrooms.
The second tank, which is also partially filled with water, serves to finally screen out the heavy fractions that are deposited here and destroyed by anaerobic bacteria. The process takes place without the participation of oxygen, moreover, the bacteria actively extract methane from the waste. By the way, if you install additional equipment and a compressor, combustible gas can be collected in cylinders and used on the farm. The third reservoir of the septic tank is dry, it is filled with special granules, through which the waste water is finally filtered and leaves into the soil through the drainage. Such a system allows you to locate the lavatory directly in the house, and not to think over the design of the dacha toilet as a separate booth.
