Cleaning of cesspools: modern ways

Basic methods of cleaning the drainage pits

Currently, two methods are used for sewage cleaning:

1. Mechanical, which means pumping waste with a sewage machine;
2. Biological, which is based on the cleaning of sewage through the use of biologics. Which contain bacteria, and at their expense, decompose impurities.

It should be emphasized that the use of biological products does not relieve of mechanical cleaning, but only contributes to a more rare call to the call of special equipment.

Mechanical cleaning

Mechanical cleaning of the scraping using sewage technology is the simplest, but at the same time not the most pleasant way. With this method of cleaning the sewage is pumped out with the aid of a specialized device - ilososa.

On how the cleaning of cesspools will take place, the owners should take care at the stage of construction of these structures. Since, if it is planned to clean the well using a pump or a pump, three basic requirements must be met:

1. Sewage should be located in an accessible place for the access to the suction truck.
2. The depth of the well should not be more than three meters. This is due to the fact that this is the length of the hose, and if the depth is greater, the cleaning will not be effective because the hose will not reach the bottom.
3. The volume of the well should not exceed the volume of the sewage machine. This is done for the sake of economy, because when you call a car, it is not the volume of pumped out sewage that is paid, but the flights that the car makes.

With time, a layer of grease and impurities settle on the walls and bottom of the cesspool, which interfere with the normal operation of the drainage system. In order to improve the work of the drainage system, it is necessary to clean the pit from time to time with the help of biological preparations.

Biopreparations as a means for cleaning the drainage pit

Cleaning of cesspools using biologics is a modern and convenient solution in the fight against sewage.

This method is based on the use of special preparations containing bacteria that split the effluents, turning them into water without a smell. Bacteria are divided into two types: aerobic and anaerobic. For sewage use anaerobic, since they do not require additional supply of oxygen.

Properties and features of biologics

Unlike chemicals such as formaldehyde, bleach, nitrogen fertilizers, which are very aggressive and destroy the pipes and material from which the cesspool is constructed, and which pose a threat to human life and health, the biologics are completely safe. They do not have a negative impact not on the person, not on the environment. Do not destroy the materials from which the sewerage system is built.

The use of biologics contributes to:

1. Decrease in the amount of impurities in 2 times;
2. Reconstruction of drainage capacity of sewerage;
3. Disinfection of the well;
4. Preventing the formation or splitting of an already present;
5. Removal from the effluent of nitrates leading to groundwater contamination.

In order for the bacteria to process the waste as efficiently as possible, the following rules should be observed:

1. The beginning of the use of biologics is better timed to the warm season, so that before the onset of cold weather, the bacteria multiply.
2. Since biopreparations can not cope with the processing of household chemicals containing chlorine, it is better to limit the release of such funds into the sewage system.
3. One kind of bacteria should be used in one cesspool. So it should be limited to either anaerobic or aerobic bacteria. Since their combination will not give a positive result, but lead to the death of one of the species of bacteria.

Cleaning the cesspools with their own hands

If the shed is not large( for example, at the dacha, where they come mainly in the summer), then it can be cleaned independently, without the involvement of specialists and equipment.

For this you can use a special fecal pump or a conventional water pump.

There are automated models of fecal pumps that are lowered into sewage, and then they are switched on and off in automatic mode when a certain level of runoff is reached.

When using a conventional water pump for this purpose, it is necessary to put a filter on it, otherwise it will clog all the time.

In order to conduct the pumping-out procedure as rarely as possible, it is possible from time to time to apply biological products that process sewage into water, which leaves through walls and bottom. But even with the constant use of biologics, mechanical cleaning can not be avoided.
