Autonomous sewerage of a country house, what is its advantage?
In many houses, sewage drains still accumulate in a cesspool. And this has a number of drawbacks. First, the drains go into the ground and reposition over the first aquifer. Further they drain to the second layer. In the event that there is a well near the cottage, there is a risk of penetration of waste water into clean water, which in the future can not be used. Plus, it brings considerable harm to the environment.
An alternative replacement for this old waste disposal method is autonomous sewerage systems. They provide environmental safety and a high degree of sewage treatment( up to 98%).As a result, after processing, technical water and sludge are obtained, which are used for domestic purposes on the site( for washing the machine, watering the garden).
In addition, autonomous sewage systems are also very durable, because they are made of high-quality material( reinforced fiberglass).Their service life is on average 50 years. Depending on the size can serve as small houses, as well as private cafes and even car wash stations. The only difference is that the sewage system for a car wash and a cafe is mounted in a slightly different way.
Autonomous sewerage for the house, operation technology
Autonomous sewerage in a private house works on the basis of gravity sedimentation and biological decomposition of effluents( or aeration).Moreover, this method works thanks to microorganisms and their vital functions, which process organic substances, splits them.
The installation itself( septic tank) looks like a cone, divided into several chambers. The first chamber is aeration( or biological treatment), in the second chamber - deep settling, and in the third - the collection of clean industrial water. Purified water can flow into a body of water, soil, or used for domestic purposes.
Unlike cesspools where only mechanical treatment of wastewater occurs, the septic tank provides deep and thorough treatment. As a result, the technical water does not even have a smell. If you still plan to drop it into the ground, you will need to make a sand-gravel filter. The peculiarity of the drainage system directly depends on the type and properties of the soil.
Autonomous sewerage for a cottage: installation and maintenance of
If you decide that you need an independent sewage system for a summer residence, it is important to first select it according to the relevant parameters, then do the design and installation of the system. Well, in the following years it will only be necessary to carry out maintenance. So, about everything in order.
- The septic tank is sized according to the number of drains to be recycled. And also in the depth of the reservoir header. For example, if there are 2 to 5 people in a house, a station with a capacity of 0.8-1.0 m3 and a depth of 800 mm is suitable.
- Next, the is executed, which requires coordination with several instances. It is best if this is done by the company that is installing the equipment, since sanitary certificates and certificates are often required.
- Installation of can be done both by professional workers and by yourself. Dig a special foundation pit into which the septic tank is submerged. After installation, only the hatch of the system with a diameter of 800 mm is visible on the surface of the earth.
- is serviced once a year. In the process, the precipitate is pumped out, which accumulates during the purification. Do pumping with the help of pumping equipment or a sewage machine, which drives up to the installation.
