How to make a septic tank of eurocubes

Sometimes, in order to save money, people equip a drain hole on their plots for sewage drains. The advantage of this method of solving the problem lies only in its cheapness. The best choice could be the construction of a septic tank of eurocubes. Such a structure can serve for many years. If you do not know how to make a septic tank of eurocubes with your own hands, then in this article you can learn more about this method of arranging sewers in a country house.

Why choose such a septic tank

If you are constantly busy at work and do not have time to do household chores, let alone building a septic tank at a cottage made of brick and concrete, then it is better to make it from several eurocubes. This work does not take much time, and the design will be very strong and reliable, since the polymers have excellent characteristics. The septic tank will not burst if there is a strong frost and will be able to resist the action of aggressive media. This material is lightweight and convenient to install. If you are interested in information on how to make a septic tank with your own hands, the answer will be quite simple, since this design does not require the involvement of additional workers or specialized technical means.

Eurocubes can be of different sizes and configurations. Due to the presence of a metal frame, they are quite durable.

How does it work

The septic tank of eurocubes is a single and sealed system consisting of two or more containers. The sewage system is connected to the first tank, and the sewage flows into the reservoir, where they are cleaned.

Sewage is settled and can be divided into several fractions with a certain weight. Microorganisms that feed organic waste can also help purify water. In order to maintain them in the right quantity, some mixtures of bacteria for septic tanks and cesspools are added to the tank. With the help of an overflow pipe, water can flow from the first tank to the second one, where it is also settled and fermented. In the second tank, the drains are cleaned by approximately 60%. After this procedure, the effluent enters the drainage system, or the third tank without bottom, in which it is cleaned and absorbed into the soil.

During the fermentation of water in the first and second tanks can produce methane or hydrogen sulfide. In order for the gases to go out and not to explode, you need to install a ventilation pipe.

The liquid is pumped out with the help of an aspensor machine through the mouth of the Eurocup, which is equipped with a removable lid.

Manufacturing

In order to install the septic tank itself from the eurocubes yourself, you will need to dig a pit to the calculated depth and a trench for the further installation of sewage pipes. In this case, you should not forget that the size of the pit should be with a margin of 25 cm on all sides of the Eurocup.

In order to make a septic tank, you need the following materials:

• two or three euro cups of calculated capacity;
• insulation for external walls of Eurococks;
• sewage pipes for sewage;
• cuffs, nipples, tees;
• drainage pipes;
• sand and rubble to fill the tank.

Assembly work

Installation of a septic tank is made in the following order:

1. Excavation. The excavation is dug in such a way that each subsequent EuroCube is lower than the previous one. This is necessary so that the liquid can flow by gravity when filling the first tank into the second one.
2. Installation of Eurocubes in the provided place.
3. Pipe laying.
4. Check the insulation of all connections.
5. Preparation of the drainage field (if planned).
6. Laying the pipes of the drainage field and their subsequent backfilling.

To install the ventilation pipes, a special hole must be made in the upper part of the Eurocup. A tee is used to exit the ventilation.

The ends of the ventilation pipes are equipped with covers. Both one and second tanks of Eurocubes will be equipped with inlet and outlet nozzles. After the material has been prepared, it is possible to install a septic system in the pit. Then fall asleep capacity. At the same time, experts advise to fill the septic tank with water so that the integrity of the tank body is not disturbed by a large mass of soil. From above, the entire structure (except for inspection hatches) is sheathed with foam plastic, covered with soil and concreted.

So, as we can see, creating a septic tank for sewage is not difficult, the main thing is to follow all instructions and then all the work will be done perfectly.
