Selection of autonomous sewerage in a private house

The question of how to choose an independent sewage system for a private house is decided by each owner of the estate independently.

The benefits of living in private homeownership today are many.

And what is important to note, much is being done. In particular, effective life-support systems for a private home are being developed.

The owner of the manor has the opportunity to choose a suitable water supply and disposal system. The offered systems are designed for any budget and qualification of the customer.

When choosing a septic tank type, you can do a lot of work yourself. At those stages, where there are not enough resources, it is necessary to invite specialists.

Waste water disposal methods

For comfortable living in a private country houseyou must create the appropriate conditions.

Complete systems of water supply and electricity supply are created and installed in the shortest possible time. Approximately the same is the situation with the arrangement of sewerage and utilization of domestic sewage.

Today, the following cleaning devices are manufactured by the industry:

• septic tank based on a sealed container;
• septic tank based on overflow wells;
• station with a platform for filtering waste water;
• biological treatment station;
• sewage treatment plant.

Many owners of private homes respond positively to the tank cleaning system.

Before making the final choice, it is necessary to know that the autonomous sewage system of a country house must meet certain sanitary standards.

The owner of a private plot needs to know the geological features of the soil well. And, first of all, the depth of groundwater.

If faeces drain pollutant aquifers, residents and neighbors will have to use additional filters on water intake devices.

This situation can not be tolerated in any case. We have to take into account the peculiarities of the climate. In particular, the depth of freezing of the soil.

This is an important parameter that affects the operating costs of the wastewater system.

To make the right choice, it is necessary to take into account the quality of the soil. It's one thing when there is black soil with sand on the plot, and quite another, if the soil is clayey.

In this context, it should be noted that for any soil suitable canalization type "tank".

The next parameter that affects the choice of the sewage system is the number of people living in a private house.

If you evaluate the experience of other countries, then in China, one person can spend on himself 100 liters of water. In the US, this rate is close to 300 liters.

Regarding a specific task, the sewage system must receive and process the entire volume of effluents from the private house.

The principle of operation of some cleaning stations is based on the use of filtering properties of the soil.

In order for the cleaning system to function properly in all seasons, it is necessary to allocate a certain place for it. The averaged data requires a site of up to thirty square meters.

If the private site has a small area, then it will not be easy to find a place for such equipment.

The most suitable option for today is considered to be an autonomous sewage system based on "tank" products.

If necessary, you can install it yourself and do not involve third-party specialists. The photo shows the circuit diagram of this device.

Principle of operation of canalization "tank"

Autonomous sewerage for a private home should serve reliably, regardless of the time of year. In winter, the contents in tanks should not freeze.

In the summer, when it is hot, smells from sewage stores should not disturb people and guests living in a private house.

The mechanism of operation of the autonomous sewage system "tank" is not difficult. The main capacity is divided into several communicating sections. Fecal water from the house through the pipe enters the first section.

Here, all incoming mass is divided into liquid and solid components. Solid fragments sink to the bottom.

Fat and oily fragments are collected on the surface. Water accumulates in the middle.

On specially assembled overflow pipes, water flows into the second section. Here, chemical water treatment is carried out. It is affected by special reagents.

Specially designed chemicals bind dissolved in water salts and settle on the bottom in a solid form. The next stage in the treatment of waste water is biological treatment.

This occurs in the third section. Special types of bacteria are used here. If they consume oxygen, they are called aerobic. If do without oxygen, then - anaerobic.

As a result of biological treatment, sludge is formed, which is used as a fertilizer.

At the outlet of the third section, the water is of good quality and is sent to the infiltrator. This is a special absorbent pad. On it, the final post-treatment of sewage takes place.

This is how the cleaning system works in a private area. The principle of the operation of an autonomous sewage system allows you not to interfere with the owner in the cleaning process.

With their own hands, it will only be necessary to call a sewerage machine once every three to four years to pump out drains from the first section of the tank system.

It is this property that makes the autonomous sewerage attractive for use in individual housing construction.

Features of the autonomous canalization "tank"

Typical projects of a private house provide for an effective energy saving system. The construction is carried out so that in the winter in the house was warm with a minimum fuel consumption.

And in the summer it was not hot on the hottest days. A large list of works in the construction is supposed to be done by one's own hands.

From this brief explanation it follows that, as a rule, special heating of the autonomous sewerage of resources is not provided.

Not provided because effective systems for cleaning domestic waste water on the basis of a non-volatile mechanism have been developed. This is the type of sewerage "tank".

Advantages of the autonomous sewer system

The first thing to note is that the autonomous sewage system "tank" does not require heating. The second most important quality is the strength of the tank.

The photo shows a polypropylene tank with a ribbed surface. This design solution gives the tank strength, comparable with septic tanks of concrete rings and bricks.

The next argument that all developers take into account is the ease of installation. Works on the installation of the tank can be done by hand for two or three hours.

The estimated service life of this sewer is 50 years. The wastewater treatment, thanks to the technology used, meets all sanitary and environmental standards.

Disadvantages of the autonomous sewer system

With all the positive qualities of the autonomous sewer system, the tank, it has some peculiarities to be reckoned with.

If there is a shallow groundwater occurrence on the site, then when installing the tank, it is necessary to pour a concrete base.

Or lay a finished reinforced concrete slab.

With all the positive characteristics of the system, you still have to use the services of a sewer machine.

In summer in hot weather, the appearance of an unpleasant odor.

Installation of autonomous sewerage system

When developing a project of a private house on a country estate, the system of autonomous sewerage is considered as an integral and integral part of the whole complex.

This means that all construction and installation work is carried out in accordance with the requirements that are imposed on the sewage system.

Often, during the performance of the ground works, along with the trench under the foundation, the pit for the sewage tank also digs. The photo shows a plan for the location of the septic tank on the site.

The installation of the tank starts after the house is fully erected. Internal sewerage laid. And after that, you can begin installing outdoor outdoor sewage.

The pit for the installation of a sewage tank should be no closer than five meters from the house and not more than 15 meters. The photo shows the installation dimensions of the reservoir in the foundation pit.

The first thing to do is to level the bottom of the pit and fill it with sand. The sand layer should reach 30 cm. Before installing the septic tank in the pit, you should carefully examine it.

The main reservoir and infiltrator are installed in the previously prepared pit. The distance from the septic tank to the walls of the excavation should be at least 25 cm.

Before filling, the reservoir should be gradually filled with water. This is done to increase the strength of the septic tank.

In the pit, designed for infiltration, the bottom is covered with geotextile. This must be done necessarily. Geotextile is a cloth made of synthetic fibers.

Its main property is that water freely flows through the tissue, and solid particles are retained. On this property the principle of operation of any filter is constructed.

The material is spread out so that its edges protrude beyond the edges of the excavation. On the geotextile a layer of fine crushed stone up to 20 cm thick is poured.

For this it is desirable to select a smaller fraction. An infiltrator is installed on this layer of crushed stone. And on top is covered with geotextiles.

At the outlet of the infiltrator, a vent pipe must be installed. On the infiltrator you need to put a layer of insulation on top. And after that, the device is filled with soil.

The main tank is covered with a sand-cement mixture in a 5: 1 ratio. You can fill it with sand. In the process of working, the sand needs to be compacted.

All pipes that are laid in the ground must have a slope of at least two centimeters per meter of length. In regions with a harsh climate, pipes need to be insulated with their own hands.

Some nuances of

If there are three people permanently living in the house, then you need to choose the tank "tank" # 1.

The septic tank from No. 3 is designed for 6 people.

The principle of marking is formed by increasing.

The larger the number, the greater the volume of the tank.

It should be remembered that savings in choosing a septic tank are not allowed.

It is preferable to have a small reserve in the capacity of a septic tank.
