What can be the sewer system of a country house?
First of all, analyze how often you visit a suburban site. If every weekend, and even during the week on holidays you do not miss the opportunity to escape from the urban smog on the nature, you just need a quality country sewerage. In case the rest at the dacha is limited to one trip per month, it is quite possible to do with a cesspool with a wooden booth, which has the proud name of "convenience in the yard".
In order for you to get effective water supply and sewerage of a country house, with your own hands and not once check each meter of pipes, even if they were laid not by you personally, but by hired craftsmen. But it's better to do all the work yourself, but how exactly - we'll tell you. And first you need a clear scheme of sewerage of a country house, for which we combine the plans of the site and the country house. At the first, we note the location of the aquifer, the removal of which from the house must be due to the power of the pump.
It should be noted that the water supply pressure loses 1 meter for every 10 meters of horizontal pipes .That is, if you have a well 8 meters deep, and the distance to the house is 3 times larger, you will need a pump with a head, calculated to supply water for 11 meters( 8 + 2.4 and round up).With a sewer for draining the drain water is easier, he, on the contrary, should be located no closer than 5 meters from the house and 15 meters from the source of life-giving moisture.
Local sewer for a country house - we make a septic tank
To dig a well, you do not need a higher education or a lot of experience, everyone can handle a shovel. The main thing is to observe a few simple rules. Calculate the required volume of the waste tank. On average, 1 person a day spends 200 liters of water( this is, of course, not only about drinking), multiply this number by 3 and by the number of family members. This is the volume and should be at the septic tank, taking into account the excess of the amount of waste water in those days when guests come to you.
Too small capacity will overflow in a matter of hours, and for many days you will have a dubious pleasure to liquidate the wastewater from the site. Volume found, now digging a pit or a whole foundation pit, slightly exceeding the dimensions of the acquired septic tank. At the bottom we fall asleep a sand cushion in order that local sewerage in the country house is not damaged because of the sagging soil. In advance, a ditch must be dug for the supply sewer to the point where the pipes meet the septic tank.
When the sewerage system of the cottage is laid, only then we lower the tank into the pit and connect it with the sink. It is very important - before filling the container with soil, fill it with water so that there is no deformation of .In the empty space between the septic tank and the walls of the pit abundantly sypem claydite, and now you can safely dig in the result of your work so that the top of the tank was above the ground, in order to avoid flooding with rain or meltwaters.
Sewer installation in a country house - we make the wiring
On the site the drain pipes are best laid with a gradual decrease, this will ensure the flow of the sewage, and it will be possible to do without the pressure system of the canalization of the country house. At least the slope should be 1 degree, maximum - 40 degrees, but it is appropriate, perhaps, only for laying pipes along the slope of a natural or artificial hill.
Inside the house horizontal sewer pipes should pass below the floor of the first floor no less than 30 centimeters, and in areas with a large depth of freezing up to 120 centimeters. It is more practical to use PVC pipes, with them the sewage system in a country house will be much simpler. When routing pipes, try to make as few turns as possible, these are the potential points of occurrence of blockages, it is best to arrange inspection wells on the site in such places.
In order to ensure that the house does not have a confusion of drain pipes and excess water pipe, make a detailed drawing in advance.
Sewerage in a country house on the floors should be as efficient as possible, even with all filters taken into account. To supply water to the upper floors, use an additional pump or limit what is installed in the well or well( this may be a surface or depth model), but use a water tank. If you have filters of coarse and fine cleaning, a straight pipe with drain valves should pass past them, if necessary.
