Forced sewage in the apartment

Sewerage exists in any modern apartment, but sometimes its work does not suit the owner. In this case, resort to improving the system, installing additional equipment. Forced sewage in the apartment - this is one of these options, which you will learn more from this article.

System features

Equipping the apartment sewer system, developers install plumbing fixtures in certain places. Changing the location of the toilet, sink or bath can sometimes lead to a deterioration of the outflow of drains. Therefore, for a cardinal reshuffle, it is necessary to resort to redevelopment of the apartment itself and change the location of the sewer risers. But such actions may not always be possible, moreover, they will entail large financial expenses.

Tip! To save money and your nerves, you can resort to the installation of a forced sewage system. In this case, you will have to install a special sanitary pump, which will ensure the normal outflow of sewage from sanitary devices.

Such additional equipment allows to solve two problems at once:

• install sanitary unit in any room in the apartment;
• to ensure the normal outflow of effluents from nodes where it is impossible to ensure the gravity of fluids.

Forced sewage system works according to the following principle: a capacity is installed in a room in which all impurities are collected. When it is filled to a certain level, the sanitary pump is turned on, which pumps the collected drains into the sewage system.

Tip! The unit is often equipped with a special grinder, which grinds hard inclusions and does not allow clogging to form.

The installation of such a unit has a lot of advantages:

• The device has small dimensions, it allows its installation in almost any place convenient for the owner.
• Provides outflow of drains from small diameter pipes. Communications with a diameter of up to 40 mm can be more easily hidden than standard sewer pipes.
• The device has great power. With the help of a sanitary pump you can divert sewage up to 100 m in the horizontal plane, and up to 7 m in the vertical (up).
• Easy installation and operation.

The unit works offline. A float is installed in the wastewater collection tank, which turns on when the liquid reaches a certain level.

Tip! The device is equipped with filters that do not give an unpleasant smell to get inside the apartment.

What pumps are used

Sanitary pump today can be purchased at any store, but before buying it is worth knowing about some of their varieties. Pumps are manufactured by different companies, have different capacities and diverse characteristics. But it is worth making a choice depending on the place of using the device. The market offers models that are designed for:

1. Pumping hot effluent without grinding. Such pumps are used for pumping water from a bathtub or shower. They are capable of pumping waste water with a temperature of up to 95 ° C, and due to the absence of a shredder, they have small dimensions.
2. Pumping hot effluent with chopper. These are more expensive devices. They easily transfer liquids with a temperature up to 95 ° С, while they are capable of pumping out drains not only from the bath or shower, but also from the toilet bowl and the sink.
3. Pumping cold water without chopper. The unit easily copes with a large amount of waste without solid particles with temperatures up to 45 ° C.
4. Pumping cold water with a grinder. It is these models that are most in demand. They can be used both for a bathroom, and for a toilet bowl or a sink.

When choosing a model, it is necessary to clearly know the place of its installation and the temperature regime of the effluent. The most expensive options that can withstand boiling water are expensive, but their installation is not always advisable. Even in the bathroom after bathing or in the shower, water rarely reaches above 40 ° C.

The grinder has great reliability. He grinds small hard inclusions without any difficulties without compromising the integrity of the unit itself and sewer pipes.

Tip! Making the choice of the unit for the forced sewage, it is worth paying attention to recommendations from producers. Some models are produced specifically for a specific plumbing assembly. If you buy a device designed for a bath or shower, then install it to drain drains from the toilet bowl will be impossible.

Installation Features

Before installation, you should choose a place. Since the device has small dimensions, then install it covertly will not be difficult. Quite often, the installation is made behind the toilet or under the sink. If a model without a grinder is chosen, then it is more compact and will easily fit even under a bath.

At the same time it is necessary to provide easy access to the unit for preventive maintenance. Also note that the device is powered by electricity, which means that a socket must be located nearby.

When choosing a site, remember that the pipe running from the plumbing assembly to the entrance to the sanitary pump should be angled. In this case, the drains will flow freely into the device.

Works on installing forced sewage are performed in the following sequence:

• The device includes fasteners. First of all, after selecting the location, the fasteners are installed in their places. After that, the unit itself is mounted and its position is checked for reliability.
• Then the sewage pipes are connected from the plumbing units to the pump inlet. Often complete devices already have flexible hoses, if they are missing, you will have to purchase them separately. It should be borne in mind that the diameter of the pipe release plumbing unit and the pump inlet must match.
• The supplied hoses are equipped with plastic fittings with seals, so their connection will not cause much difficulty.
• The outlet pipe is also supplied with fittings. Connect the exit to the sewer system. After all the work, you should check the tightness of the joints. If it is insufficient, then you should use a silicone sealant.
• The final step is to connect the device to the electrical network. If there is no outlet nearby, then it is better to invite a specialist. Remember that electricity and water are two incompatible things.

As you can see, the installation of a forced sewage system can be easily performed independently. By spending a small amount, you get the opportunity to install a plumbing unit in almost every corner of the apartment, without worrying about the removal of drains.
