Sump own hands

Familiar townspeople central sewerage is not available to all residents of the provinces and the private sector.The only option diversion of household waste for them is the arrangement of the cesspool or septic tank.It is necessary to present clearly what sinks and what amount will be received in a hole as will be their treatment and disposal, and, on this basis, select the type of sump.

In principle cleaning cesspools can be divided into several types:

• simple cesspool without watertight floor;
• septic tank with the filter bottom;
• single-chamber septic tank;
• sealed cesspool drive.

traditional cesspool

This is the easiest and cheapest way to drain the pit arrangement used for centuries.The operating principle of the cesspool is simple: waste fall into the tank, asserted.At the bottom of the pit soon formed biologically activated sludge with a high content of anaerobic bacteria which decompose organic matter.Water clarified in the pit, infiltrates into the soil through perforations in the walls and the bottom, where it is further purification by the same bacteria.Construction of the traditional sump does not require special skills.The stages of its construction:

• determine the location of future raking.Positioning it should be no closer than 30 meters from a water source, 5 meters to the structure of the boundary and 1 meter from the property line;
• excavate the size of the future of the pit.The volume of the pit - not less than 1 m3 for each family member, only then you can be sure of its trouble-free operation;
• Spread walls of brick or foam blocks, do not forget about the device drainage holes in them;
• top of the pit is covered with concrete ceiling with a hatch for inspection and cleaning;
• The pit output sewer pipe, laid in a trench below the freezing depth of soil;
• All the designs covered with earth.

It is a viable option for the country house, where the volume of effluent is less than one cubic meter per day.However, for residential private home with running water, a shower and modern appliances, this method is not suitable: the volume of discharged liquid, even for small families exceed the filtration capabilities of the well and living in the soil bacteria.There will be soil contamination and aquifer around raking suffer ecology.And an unpleasant smell will annoy the owners of a pit almost constantly.Additionally, the use in washing machines of modern detergents and liquids requires deeper cleaning than natural decomposition.For this purpose, additional filtration can be used.Also read about the construction of the sump of the tires.

In this single-chamber septic tank construction is completed.Stacked layers will detain runoff, sewage and wastewater will be much more effective.For laying of geotextile is better not to use a needle felt.Its structure is such that it is rapidly silting, and the water hardly passes through it.

filtration device in the bottom of the sump

Filter helps improve the filter conditions, and thus increases the volume of fluid drained.It is a popular solution for owners of private houses, which established a common septic tank, for its modernization.However, the device is a new hole can be carried out in the same way.Stages of filtration arrangement bottom:

• wastewater is pumped from the sump, with walls removed plaque, sludge.Or erect a new hole by the above method, but without perforating the walls;
• pit walls sealed: sealed cracks, holes, and then coated with bitumen;
• bottom align, tamped.Optimally, if the bottom of the pit is a sandy layer of soil.If not, then at the bottom you need to pour a sand cushion thickness of not less than 30 cm;
• on sand laid geotextile woven, its edges must go to the pit wall;
• Poured gravel layer with a fraction of 50 mm, thickness - 15 cm;Cover the gravel
• second layer of geotextile;
• edges of the geotextile fixed to the walls of the septic tank using bituminous mastics.

filter allows large volumes of fluid quickly absorbed into the soil, while the volume of dissolved organic waste will not exceed permissible, soil bacteria and they are easy to handle.Geotextile for device filter is better to take a woven, rather than needle - last silts up quickly and loses its ability to transmit water quickly.

modern solution - a single-chamber septic tank

device septic tank - a difficult task, but it is quite feasible in the home.The principle of operation of a septic tank is as follows: in a sealed container occurs gradual cleansing of drains.In the first zone, immediately after the effluent from the sewer pipe, it is their fractionation: heavy particles settle to the bottom where gradually decomposed, and light as a foam float upward.The middle layer is partially clarified effluent, enter the second zone, which is derived from the drain pipe.After the effluent from the tank they received advanced treatment on soil or leach field, which will need to perform as well with additional filtration down.

single chamber septic tank is not ideal for this waste water treatment, but the degree of purification it is undoubtedly higher than in a conventional settler.

sealed tank storage

device such raking advisable in cases where the natural filtration is not possible, for example, if a number of the section is a well with drinking water, or the soil is unable to absorblarge volumes of effluents.The peculiarity of this pit and its significant drawback is the need for regular evacuation of its contents, which is necessary to cause assenizatorskaya car.Some owners of private homes bought sewage pumps and pump out the contents of the sump outside the private area, but this method is questionable from an environmental point of view.

The sealed cesspool can be made of brick or concrete blocks, if carefully sealed its sides and bottom.Often devices such pits used concrete rings, fabricated metal container and sealed plastic containers.In all cases, you must provide:

• Sufficient holes at the rate of 150 liters per day for each family member, and in the presence of hot water - 180 liters;
• tightness of the walls and bottom;
• sufficient wall strength taking into account the soil pressure on an empty tank and internal content on the full;
• Convenient access roads to the hole for the passage of assenizatorskaya machines;
• device sealed hatch, impervious to gases and odors.

use of concrete rings and metal containers associated with another problem - their installation requires the use of special equipment.A good option can be a special capacity - evrokuby.It is made of durable plastic, reinforced with aluminum ribs and is provided with a convenient flip-top lid, ie, it is an inexpensive and modern solution to this problem.

Installing tanks in the ground as follows:

• excavate sufficient size considering the stock on each side of about 0.3 meters;
• bottom seal, make a bed of river sand and a small fraction of gravel - it will save from deformation capacity in the case of heave;
• Establish capacity so that the hatch is above the soil level;
• Mount sewers;
• Make dumping sand on the sides of the container, it is filled and rammed earth.

Call assenizatorskaya machines should be carried out promptly, without waiting for the overflow tank.After the contents of the pumping capacity to reduce the smell can be disinfected with chlorine-containing agents.When properly installed, and a good seal this hole has virtually no odor, no peremerzaet during the cold season and solves the problem of wastewater without causing any harm to the ecology and the environment.Installing it is possible even to the close proximity of the water table.

Septic Tank, made with all the features of its use, is no worse than the central drainage, and will make living in a private house more comfortable.
