There is such a system in the house that it is impossible to live without, and it is nothing else than a septic tank that allows us to provide our life with convenience and comfort, so the solution of the question - how to make a septic tank with our own hands is more than relevant.
If you have decided to make an independent arrangement of it, then it is not superfluous to find out some details.
So, for example, its device can be made in two versions.
The first is to install a storage capacity of significant volumes, while requiring systematic water evacuation.
The tank itself can be made in any form and from any material.
Regarding the second option, it will provide the possibility of treating wastewater when it is possible to recycle it, it will also be possible to drain relatively clean water directly into the ground.
The last version we will consider in more detail.
So, installation of a septic tank, as it is possible to assume, should be made to the maximum efficiently - this will help to get rid of a lot of trouble in the future, ensuring its workability.
Directly the task that is assigned to the septic tank is to clean the water and then return it to nature.
In the event that you are allowed to throw into the garden or in a ditch of polluted water, then the district will have a characteristic smell, which, definitely, will not please you.
If the drainage is installed in the ground, it can be encountered with the fact that it is simply silted up, after which it will stop working at all, polluting the ecology.
Preliminary cleaning can be done by applying an anaerobic method, which involves the use of microorganisms as the main purifiers.
Meanwhile, the cheapest way with which you can make water purification is exactly the way of anaerobic, and not any other.
For him, only an ordinary well is needed, the water in which is defended, and, at the same time, is subjected to processing carried out by microorganisms.
It's about this kind of construction that we're talking about when we're supposed to( build a septic tank with our own hands).
The process of constructing a septic tank
To begin with, we need to calculate its volume, while the estimated amount of water consumed by the whole family is used as a basis.
For example, three people need about 1200 liters / day, with water to settle for two days, so the volume should be at least 3.6 cubic meters.
Then, to make a septic tank with your own hands, you will need to dig a pit with a depth of 4 m and a diameter of 1.6 m.
Also in this pit you will need to mount reinforced concrete rings in the number of four pieces.
Walking from the house sewer pipe must certainly be buried at the depth of freezing of the soil, that is, at a depth of about 1.5 meters.

It's good if the septic tank is insulated by you, despite the fact that there is an opinion that the sewage is not subject to freezing.
When deciding to build a septic tank in a private house, it should be borne in mind that the sewage pipe must necessarily have a slope of about 2 cm per 1 meter, but no more.
Otherwise, the drainage of liquid effluents will occur more quickly in the pit, and the runoff of dense, behind them not having time, as a deposit will be on the pipes, which will invariably provoke their rapid blockage.
In the pipe septic tank is installed, which will allow the water to drain down.
In a distance of 2.5-4 m from the septic tank, it is also necessary to excavate a drainage well, with a depth of about 7 m and a diameter of 1.7 m.
