We design drainage for sauna
There are several ways for you to drain in a bath. And we will consider them from simple to complex, because, perhaps, you decide to stop already on the most primitive, and this will save you from unnecessary information on the creation of a whole drainage system. In the villages near the river, it is customary to build bathhouses along the coast.
This not only gives the opportunity to plunge into the water after the steam room in the summer( and sometimes even in winter), but also provides a way to get rid of excess moisture by the simplest way - draining into the river. If there is a river or a stream near your site, but even a small ravine is nearby, you can not think about where to put water. It is enough to make the outlet of the drain pipe in the direction of the river and order.
The other three methods will require much more labor, but any of them should be used if there is nothing suitable for draining the water used in the bath. So, the first - this is a common pit, which is excavated not far from the bath, and where the sink is diverted. The disadvantage of this method is to get rid of excess moisture - the pit will need to be emptied periodically, either by buckets, or by causing the sewers.
The next method is to equip the drainage well, which is filled with broken brick( the size of the fragments can be any), gravel, rubble, sand. Water, passing through numerous layers, is cleaned and gradually absorbed into the soil, moistening it for many tens of meters around. Such drainage for a bath is better to do away from buildings with the foundation of .The third way is a full sewage system with a storage tank and a reservoir for collecting filtered water, which can be irrigated.
How to get drainage in a bath without the accompanying smells
The drainage system is best created directly during the construction of bath rooms, because then it will be very difficult to make a good drainage in a bath. In the steam room, where the most steam, and hence the dampness after cooling, the floors are usually made of wood, but can be a concrete version with a coating of tiles.
In the first case, it is better to dig a special reception pit, with a slope to which a concrete covering will be made, hiding under the wooden flooring. The pit should be shallow, a quarter of a meter is enough, its dimensions can also be quite solid, it will be enough for 30x30 centimeters. In one of the walls is a drain, at a distance of 10 centimeters from the bottom, above it to the edge of the pit is attached metal platinum, not reaching the bottom of centimeters by 5.
To plate tightly cut off all the space above the pipe from the environment, its edges go into the walls,but under the plate water must pass freely. Thus, a hydroshield is obtained, the edge of which is always hidden under water, cutting off smells from the pipe.
If the floor in the bath is concrete, it is recommended to do it layer by layer, namely, when laying the first layer, put a waste gutter in the liquid solution with a receiving chamber in the center of the room, which must be provided with a hydraulic seal by default. Then, all of this is covered with a galvanized metal mesh, then a layer of waterproofing, another layer of the mesh, and you can pour a new layer of concrete, remembering to drain the drain from the receiver vertically.
The floors in the room should be made with a slight slope to the center where we have a flush hole made flush( if desired and for safety reasons, so that you do not wash anything you need, you can close the drain with a grid).
How to build a continuation of the bath drainage
Above you have already described the methods for ensuring the flow of water from the bath, and perhaps you know perfectly well how to build suitable tanks. If not, the following information will be superfluous for you. An ordinary pit is waterproof enough, the main thing is that the place where you decided to dig it is below the level of the bath. In the rest - the walls and the bottom are covered with a stone, then covered with a thick layer of cement( you can even make a formwork).
The drainage well. .. although, let me just mentioned it, and the way of its construction is given earlier. It remains only to consider an autonomous sewage system. If you already have one, and the resource of its settler is large enough, you can drain the bath from directly to this system. If the receiver is too small, we make an autonomous water collector for the bath.
If work has already been done on improvement of the site, it is recommended that the treatment facilities for drainage of the bath be made as small as possible.
So, the pipe we have already deduced, therefore, the trench under it has already been dug. At the end of the trench, no closer than 5 meters from the beginning of the flow, we begin to dig a pit, the dimensions of which are determined by the previously purchased containers of PVC.It is logical that the tanks should be roomy, especially if the bathhouse is designed for a large number of people.
When the pits are ready, put a waterproofing on the bottom and pour a layer of sand in the thickness of centimeters to 20, it will be a pillow for tanks, so it is desirable to level it as carefully as possible. We install the tanks, connect to the first with the help of a clutch drain pipe, coming from the bath, and then we connect the tanks with one more pipe located closer to the bottom. Now, according to the principle of two connected vessels, water will flow from the first tank to the second one, gradually cleared of foreign particles precipitating.
