Autonomous sewage to give

In the absence of a centralized sewage system to which the cottage could be connected, thereby solving the problem of waste disposal, the installation of an autonomous sewage system is possible. It will successfully cope with sewage treatment, and not one summer house or cottage, but several can be serviced with an appropriate choice of sewage treatment plant.

Types of septic tanks

Storage capacity. Such sewage system is suitable for summer houses, where the owners visit not often and are not for long. Otherwise, the tank will have to be pumped out too often, or the use of such a sewer will generally become a headache for its owners.

Cesspool Type Constructions. To organize such sewers, in which one reservoir and the one with drainage, perhaps, the easiest. But the indicator of its environmental friendliness is at zero. Modern norms prohibit the construction of such cesspools.

Septic tanks. They can be purchased or manufactured by yourself. Structurally, they are several containers or one tank with compartments, which are often two or three. Tanks or compartments are connected by overflow. The last tank is with a drainage layer. Installation of infiltrators is possible.

VOC. Такие станции осуществляют максимальную очистку стоков. Очищенная вода не требует доочистки. Это самый лучший вариант для дач, где проживание длительное, например, весь теплый сезон.

Features of the choice of sewage treatment plant

When choosing a septic tank or VOC, be sure to consider:

• The performance of the equipment. Only correct calculations will allow to avoid problems with the operation of autonomous sewage in the future. It is important to consider both the overall performance and the volume of the maximum salvo discharge.
• The maximum depth of laying sewer pipes. If the external sewage pipes are located at an insufficient depth, it will be necessary to insulate them additionally, which entails not only the need for labor-intensive work, but also financial expenses.
• How effectively drains are cleaned. Thus, the simplest septic tanks, such as a septic tank made of concrete rings, can only treat wastewater up to 60%, while biological treatment stations remove water, which can be discharged without additional purification into the ground, water, or even used for irrigation.
• System reliability Technically complex automated systems are both a strength and a disadvantage. On the one hand, this is a convenience, on the other - a high probability of breakage.
• Body material. Concrete septic tanks, manufactured independently, often provide insufficient tightness, metal - prone to corrosion. Plastic septic tanks made of polypropylene or polyethylene have significant advantages, but some manufacturers make the walls not thick enough, which makes them unstable to ground pressure. The absence of stiffeners also does not give anything good.
• The possibility of self-service and its frequency. Naturally, the less often you need to maintain a septic tank, the better.
• Cost The more complex the septic tank, the higher its cost. Biological treatment stations will cost much more expensive than septic tanks of simple construction.
• The possibility of additional treatment of waste. If a simple septic tank is installed, its efficiency can be significantly increased by installing infiltrators or additional treatment facilities.

Components of autonomous sewage systems

The autonomous sewage system includes several integral components:

• Internal and external pipeline. The corresponding pipe diameters and slope are selected. In addition, it must be said that gray plastic pipes are used for the internal sewage system, and orange for the external one.
• Purification facility.
• In some cases, aeration fields or wells.

Subtleties of installation

Carrying out installation of the independent sewerage, consider:

• The terrain. A septic tank installed in the valley may be flooded during rain or melting snow.
• Compliance with health standards. The location of the septic tank is regulated by certain sanitary norms and rules.
• Climatic conditions, since some septic tanks need warming.
• Type of soil. If the soil is clay, for example, difficulties may arise with the equipment of the filtration fields.
• High groundwater level. Besides the fact that this moment also complicates, and sometimes makes it impossible to equip aeration fields, the septic tank itself can be pushed to the surface.
• If the septic tank will be serviced using an aspencer machine, then it is necessary to ensure the possibility of unhindered access of equipment. In addition, constructing a septic tank independently, take into account the length of the hose equipment for pumping.

In a small article does not reveal all the features and intricacies of the device for autonomous sewage, so this material turned out, rather, a review. Each stage of the arrangement of autonomous sewage requires separate detailed consideration.
