Septic leader

Own cottage or a small country house - this is a great opportunity for a summer vacation and a weekend away from the dirty and dusty city. But here, too, everything should be equipped with the most comfortable conditions so that nothing causes discomfort. So, the important point is the organization of the disposal of waste and domestic water, as they can not be discharged into the open ground. To solve this problem, many experienced gardeners buy special treatment plants, such as, for example, a septic tank Leader. This is an excellent solution in the absence of a centralized sewer system.

Positive and negative sides

Septic tank Leader is a modern sewage treatment structure, which is based on biological after-treatment of settled water. This allows you to highlight several advantages:

• the possibility of mounting near the house, which is important for small areas;
• compact size of septic tank;
• there are 4 stages of wastewater treatment;
• no need to purchase additional products for biological treatment;
• automatic discharge into a pond or soil (it is better to organize a drainage well, which will act as an additional filter);
• ease of installation;
• no unpleasant and sharp odors during the purification;
• possibility of use in areas with high groundwater and clay soil;
• in the event of a power outage, the equipment does not stop working;
• there is no need for additional purification of water at the outlet.

Various reviews of the owners of the modern installation Leader say that it can easily cope with various types of pollution, in particular with fecal water, toilet paper and various detergents. Together with such a large list of positives, there is one, but a very significant drawback: the need to clean the system up to 3 times a year (the frequency is calculated depending on the intensity of use).

Absolutely silent work of a septic tank will not irritate summer residents and distract from rest.

Features and parameters

The design of the septic tank has a cylindrical shape that allows you to place it at any point in the suburban area. The internal tank is divided into 4 compartments, in each of them there is one or another stage of purification of polluted water. The standard set includes the following elements:

1. Plastic case.
2. Inner construction.
3. Compressor with pump (if compulsory aeration is provided).
4. Algae or ruff (biological substances).
5. Backfill of rubble and lime (located at the very bottom of the tanks).
6. Technical documentation, detailed instructions for use and care.

The septic tank Leader has such technical characteristics as:

• compressor power - up to 100 V;
• maximum pumping of sewage up to 3 m³/day;
• the weight of the device varies from 80 to 200 kg (depending on the model);
• dimensions are also varied.

Some models are equipped with compressors, with the help of which air enters inside, which means that microorganisms will more actively multiply and decompose organic matter into small particles.

Cleaning device diagram

As mentioned above, the septic tank consists of 4 chambers. The first takes about a quarter of the total. It serves to receive sewage and domestic wastewater, as well as primary clarification using the gravity method (that is, large particles sink to the bottom, and the upper layer has a greater degree of clarification).

The upper settled layer of water passes into the next compartment with an anaerobic bioreactor. This is where the primary decomposition of organic substances. This contributes to a huge number of colonies of microorganisms that live in a layer of rubble. Thus, complex forms of pollution fall into simple ones, which settle to the bottom, where they linger. An important step is the saturation of water with air, which contributes to faster cleaning.

The third chamber is a reactor for deep biological treatment. All of it is filled with ershovoy load, which also serves as the basis for the active reproduction of colonies of anaerobic microorganisms. At the bottom there is an aerator tube and a lime layer, which contributes to the decomposition and processing of large particles that have fallen down. Also, this layer is responsible for reducing the acidity of drains.

In the last settling tank, fine particles of activated sludge and suspended particles are removed from practically purified water. At the exit of the septic tank water has a degree of purification of 95% and higher. It will not harm the environment, so it can be put in the ground.

In the second compartment, the decomposition of polluted water occurs without air.

As you can see, the septic tank Leader is a fairly simple to operate device with an affordable price. Therefore, it can be called a good option for organizing the drain in the country or in the cottage. In order for the treatment plant to last as long as possible, you should follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the operation and rules of care.
