Septic cleaners

Autonomous sewage systems that clean all the drains from a private house, today you will not surprise anyone. Such communications are increasingly equipped with modern technology that can easily cope with various organic pollutants and return clean water to nature. Such devices are called septic. But which product is better? What kind of septic tank to buy? All these questions can be answered only if you know their characteristics. This article will discuss one of these devices. Septic Tissue - its device, a list of technical characteristics, pros and cons.

Operating principle

The septic tank Purges purifies wastewater, working on the principle of filtering and decomposing organic residues using microorganisms without air access. Inside the tanks are divided into several sections, between which are membranes with holes and biofilters.

Sewage, falling into the first section, settled. As a result, pollutants are separated into solid and light fractions. In order to prevent their mixing, the pressure of the supplied effluent is smoothed by the tee available at the inlet nozzle. The precipitate and the crust that has emerged remain in the first tank, and the clarified water flows through the holes in the membrane into the next compartment. In addition, in the first section, anaerobic bacteria begin to work, which decompose organic residues into simpler components.

In the second chamber there is a further sedimentation. Then the water passes through the biofilters. It is made of synthetic fibers, on which colonies of microorganisms live. In the course of their livelihoods, they remove organic residues from wastewater.

Septic tanks may consist of one or more chambers separated by membranes. With the required performance for the needs of 10–15 people, multi-chamber units can be placed one after the other.

Underground filtration systems are used to conduct final cleaning. As such, there may be filter trenches or wells, cleaning fields or gravel-sand filters. After this additional purification, up to 95% of pollutants are removed.

Pros and cons of the device

To make the right choice, you should carefully read the advantages of the device. It is best to read reviews that users of septic tanks leave on Internet forums and other specialized resources.

If we talk about the advantages of the device “Purges”, then their owners note the following:

• The septic tank has a structure with stiffeners. Thanks to this, the septic tank can withstand the loads that the soil creates and does not deform.
• The device is capable of cleaning drains with an efficiency of 95% (of course, provided that the additional soil filter is provided).
• The septic tank is very simple, therefore failure is simply impossible. In addition, a durable case (wall thickness of which reaches 14 mm) is able to serve 50 years or more.
• The device is non-volatile, which means it can be saved during operation.
• Easy to install and connect. All work can be done independently, even without possessing any special skills.

In addition, the septic tank is resistant to large single discharges. The simultaneous flow of a large amount of wastewater will not affect the quality of treatment.

If we talk about the shortcomings, it is almost the only one. In the septic tank over time, undecomposed sediments accumulate. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically pump out. But such work needs to be done rarely. Judging by the reviews, it is necessary to pump out no more than once every 3-5 years, depending on the intensity of use and the composition of the wastewater.
