Septic tank for a country house do it yourself

Useful

Septic in a country house is necessary. You can build it without calling a professional brigade, though not alone, but with a couple of true friends. Because the construction will require a lot of physical costs. In this article we will explain how to independently make and install a septic tank.

Device 

Септик — это устройство, которое служит в качестве очистного сооружения. Он состоит из двух — трех камер. Стоки последовательно проходят через них, очищаясь. Installation такой системы кажется новичкам чем-то сложным. На самом деле обустройство септика — это просто много тяжелого физического труда. Ничего сложного в этом нет. Сделать простую трехсекционную конструкцию сможет и новичок.

Types of treatment facilities

Generally in the country there may be several types of sewage treatment plants.

  1. The most primitive and simple type of sewage treatment plant is a cesspool. She has practically no advantages (with the exception of ease of arrangement). But cons - a complete set, they should not even be listed.
  2. Plastic cleaner. This system works well, but regularly clogs up. In addition, it requires periodic visits to the vacuum.
  3. Overflow wells. This system is built very long and hard. The vacuum truck is also needed.
  4. Special stations. This is the kind of septic tank that will be considered here. Such systems are the most modern. Their arrangement, of course, will take some time.

Installation 

  1. The first step is to select and buy a cleaning station. Depending on the position of groundwater, it is necessary to select a station with or without forced discharge. Forced flow is based on the pump.
  2. After the purchase is necessary to start excavation work. Approximately it is necessary to make a ditch with a size of 2.5 m in length, one and a half meters in width and the same in depth.
  3. The station falls to the bottom of the pit. Water is poured into it. At the edges you need to pour sand and ram well.
  4. At the next stage, the inlet flows are drawn up. We must dig a ditch and lead to the station pipe.
  5. The last stage is to connect the station. It needs electricity.

Septic ready. Now it can be exploited.

rules

  1. Periodically, the system will have to clear. So, the filters are cleaned every two to three years, but the system itself should be checked about once a season. In the station there are clusters of silt that can destroy the work of the septic tank.
  2. It is better not to use too many different chemicals, bleach and cleaning powders. This is a heavy load on the system.
  3. Sometimes the power is turned off. During this period, it is necessary to limit the load on the system.
  4. When installing the system, it is necessary to take into account that the distance from the house to the septic tank should be at least 6-7 meters.
  5. If the septic tank settles near parking, the distance can be reduced three times.
  6. Septic tanks differ in chamber sizes. In order to choose the necessary system for the size, it is necessary to take into account how much water it will have to take. It is estimated that the average person spends about 300 liters of water per day on hygiene needs. The septic tank at the same time must have a volume that is three times higher than this figure.

Ideally, the station should be located at a depth that is below the ground freezing level. If this was not possible, then the system must be further warmed.

Cleaning 

To effectively carry out cleaning, it is necessary to understand the principles of its work. In the septic tank, waste and fecal masses are transformed into sludge under the influence of special bacteria. They reach the final stage of processing.

One of the main problems encountered in private areas is the silting and clogging of the septic tank. Often this is due to the death of bacteria, which are used for recycling. Bacteria could destroy bacteria with chlorine. To clean the camera, you can use special preparations. Usually they contain all the same bacteria for sewage. By restoring the balance of bacteria, you can solve the problem of clogs.

If the contents of the cleaning chamber become hard or a crust has formed inside it, then you can cope with this with the help of bacteria. Before placing the drug inside the chamber it should be diluted with water.

Manganese has a bad effect on bacteria. Its action is similar to the effect of chlorinated water.

Septics, the design of which is based on storage tanks, are very easy to clean. To do this, you only need to remove the old waste tank and put a new one. If the system is not cleaned by itself, then it is necessary to resort to a compulsory measure using sewage disposal machines. Pumping is performed by vacuum drainage pumps.

Device септика перед домом

  1. A place. Septic should be located away from home. He should also defend to 50-60 meters from the water intake. Otherwise, the wastewater will begin to enter the water intake.
  2. We must dig a pit with a depth of more than two meters. Its length should be about 3.5 meters and a width of 2.5 meters. After installing the walls, these parameters will be reduced by half a meter.
  3. The pit is divided into two unequal parts. After this, formwork is installed. It is advisable to use reinforcement and stones during concreting. Between the two chambers is an inclined pipe, through which the wastewater will begin to merge. The bottom of the pit is not concreted in any way.
  4. At the last stage is the roof. It must have reinforcing elements. When the roof is ready, the structure is covered with earth.

The average life of a septic tank without cleaning is from 3 to 10 years, depending on the amount of waste.

Septic tank allows the owner to fully utilize the benefits of civilization outside the city. Board houses and cesspools are long gone. Modern technologies allow you to create a complete sewage system outside the city. Thanks to her, she can take a shower and a bath in the country house, build a real toilet, use a sauna and much more. A home septic tank can be done in about a week, and people will use it for years.

Repairs 

Modern cleaning chambers work for quite a long time without any failures, provided that all operating rules are followed. If there is any malfunction, then the septic tank owner himself can eliminate it. Most often, devices fail due to clogging fractions. In order to solve this problem, you need to properly inspect the unit and clean it.

Repairs септика сводится к следующему:

  • filter replacement;
  • cleansing fractions;
  • flushing the chamber.

A lot of problems can be caused by ordinary power outages. In this case, the septic tank stops working for a while. Silt masses can simply dry out. This will lead to the fact that the system completely fails, and you have to call specialists. However, the master himself can clean the device. However, in the event of serious blockages, it will be necessary to dismantle for complete cleaning.

In order for the septic tank to work properly, you need to monitor it. Approximately 3 times a year, it is necessary to pump out excess waste using a drainage pump. This is not a very difficult operation, so the owner can handle it himself. Also, periodically have to clean and change the filters. Approximately it should be done once a year. Aeration system elements need to be replaced every 10 years. With proper care, no problems will arise. During the period when electricity is not supplied, it is better to limit the system load to a minimum.
