Sewage tank: an inexpensive way to dispose of domestic waste

When designing and building your own home you should take care of the disposal and disposal of sewage. The best option is to connect to a centralized engineering network. If such a method is impossible, an individual system is necessary, the central element of which is a storage tank for sewage.

Advantages and disadvantages of using drives

Not long ago, property owners outside the city were content with a not too comfortable sanitary block located on the street and equipped with a cesspool. But now everyone wants to create comfort in his home, comparable to the comforts of a city apartment. In this regard, the relevance of sewage system equipment comes to the fore.

Installation of pipes for removal of sewage from the house is no different from this kind of work carried out in the apartment. However, unlike the latter, the private house does not connect to the central sewage system, which forces people to look for ways to solve this problem.

The most common method, the price of which makes it widely available - the use of capacity for sewage in the country and in a country cottage. It is a hermetically sealed structure, where all sewage flows through the pipeline.

Most often sewer capacities are made in the form of the cylinders equipped with the following elements:

• branch pipe for sewage drainage;
• a special well through which it is cleaned.

The size is selected based on the number of family members, as well as the amount of water they use. To facilitate the flow and in order to preserve the attractive appearance of the site, such containers are most often placed underground.

The capacity for sewage has the following indisputable advantages:

• easy installation - all work, starting with digging a pit and ending with connecting a sewer pipe, can be done by hand;
• environmental friendliness - containers or barrels are completely sealed, therefore they do not harm the environment;
• low cost - for the purchase and installation of such a system, much less money will be needed than for the equipment of a personal septic tank or a sewage biological treatment station.

Tip! To minimize the cost of equipping the sewer system is possible through the acquisition of used containers for sewage.

But there is one drawback - the need for periodic cleaning of the drive. To do this, you need to call a special aspenizatorsky technique. The frequency of cleaning depends on the intensity of use of the water supply system.

Independent installation of sewage tanks

Varieties of drives

Capacities for collecting sewer drains make from various materials. Each model has its own characteristics.

Consider the most common options:

1. Concrete drives. This option is currently almost never used. This is due to the following factors:

• the concrete structure is gradually destroyed by moisture;
• the construction of a monolithic capacity requires considerable monetary and time costs.

1. Metal containers. They are used more often than their concrete counterparts. This option is not very reliable, as the metal is susceptible to corrosion and is destroyed by the action of aggressive chemical agents, often present in domestic waste water. If a metal container is used as a storage device, care should be taken to ensure its high-quality anti-corrosion treatment, both inside and outside. All seams must be sealed with silicone. This will prevent contaminated water from entering the soil.
2. Plastic tanks for sewage. Are the best option for use as a drive. This is due to the following qualities of the material used:

• non-corrosive, resistant to aggressive chemicals;
• easy - installation of large-capacity tanks, as a rule, does not cause any particular difficulties and is carried out without the use of engineering equipment;
• it does not have seams - the tank's construction is solid, therefore it is completely hermetic.

There are even more modern plastic containers for sewage - this is a fiberglass barrel, which has increased strength and is able to serve for a guaranteed period of at least 50 years.

Choosing a place to install

This stage of the arrangement of sewage is very important.

Be sure to pay attention to the following nuances:

1. The site should be located lower than the residential building. Sewage flows into the tank under the influence of gravity, because the pipe must be installed with a slope.
2. It is necessary to choose the right distance. If the container is placed too close, an unpleasant odor may occur in the dwelling, and excessive distance will require too long a pipeline that can become clogged. The optimal distance is 5 meters. When removed more than 15 meters, it should be equipped with inspection wells.
3. The sewer should not be bent as much as possible. If this cannot be avoided, a manhole should also be equipped at the turning point.
4. The tank should be located so that it can drive assenizatorskaya machine.

Note! Upon completion of installation of the system for its commissioning, it is necessary to draw up and sign the certificate of acceptance of the system and releases of internal sewage (IGASN form No. 26/99). This is possible only with the observance of all rules and regulations for the design and installation of sewage systems.

Assembly process

Instructions for installing the acquired capacity contains only a few items.

1. A pit is dug, whose dimensions of 30-40 centimeters should exceed the dimensions of the acquired drive.

1. The pit should be deepened below the level of soil freezing (about 180 cm) so that sewage does not freeze during the cold season.

1. At the bottom of the settling sand cushion. It must be carefully tamped to avoid soil subsidence and destruction of capacity.
2. The acquired reservoir is installed in the pit, after which the pipe is connected to it.

1. Then the edges of the tank are covered with sand. In order to avoid drive shifts, it is recommended to tamper every 15–20 cm of backfill.
2. If the tank is installed deeply, to access the neck, it is necessary to equip a well closed by a cast-iron lid.

1. From above, everything is covered with soil, so that the place with the tank does not violate the landscape design of the site.

Conclusion

The use of storage capacity - a cheap, fast and high-quality way to solve the problem of collecting sewage in a country house. More details about individual engineering networks can be found in the video in this article.
