Septic tank of concrete rings with their hands: simple, reliable, convenient!

We have already told our readers about especially the autonomous sewerage systems. And although modern market offers a variety of ready-to-use wastewater treatment systems, users forumhouse.ru They prefer to roll up their sleeves and make your own septic tank.

One of the most popular schemes of water treatment plants, or in short VOC is considered three-chambered system of several concrete rings, connected by a shimmering. Under this scheme first, funded, the camera makes a sealed bottom, and the other two are used for purification of runoff.

It would seem that this system worked for years, and has repeatedly proven to be effective in areas with Low groundwater levels. However, with the nickname forumchanin Khozain2000 It proposes to improve the system. Is it possible? Referring to his experience.

Khozain2000 (FORUMHOUSE):

- Before you take up the construction of sewage, I shoveled a lot of information to display. In my opinion, the standard circuit with overflow rings have three major drawbacks:

• leaking from the bottom of the first storage capacity and poor sealing ring joints;
• possibility shear rings and destruction of joints due to frost heaving force;
• the high costs of the filtering device fields.

Consider improvements are forumchanin.

sealing joints

The problem of sealing rings Khozain2000 I decided in this way. He bought the factory ring and a quarter. These locks on the rings do not allow the rings to shift. Before installing the ring forumchanin from all directions in three layers, their waterproofing processed mixture. And when installing rings, for sealing joints, added to solution "waterglass".

Sealing the bottom took place in two stages:

1. Pouring reinforced covering for the ring thickness of 5-7 cm.

2. Processing screed waterproofing mixture and vertical mounting another tie.

Khozain2000(FORUMHOUSE):

- Because surface waterproofing works poorly on the break, and the water creates a pressure on both sides, then the screed is needed on both sides.

To maximize the useful volume of the septic tank, the ring was set to 80 cm below the ground level. Validating then put them Polymer cone and made of brick on the level of soil cylinders, which are then put hatches.

An interesting point of view with the nickname forumchanin DmitriyM the need of sealing rings.

In his opinion, to achieve the perfect sealing of joints and the bottom is almost impossible.

A small leakage of sewage into the ground first stop by itself within a year of operation.

Khozain2000(FORUMHOUSE):

- I think the seal is still important and that's why. In the spring, when snow melts, there are many perched. If foster a well and septic tank leaking, the meltwater zatechot them and flood the septic tank.

In this case, a septic tank will cease to perform its functions.

Warming of the septic tank

And whether you need it?

DmitriyM(FORUMHOUSE):

- It is my deep conviction that the freeze runs a septic tank in the suburbs virtually impossible.

- The septic tank I do not insulate, because he really does not freeze. And only insulate the neck - a soft polyurethane foam insulation. After all, if it will raise frost, the spring melt water can get into the septic tank and sink it.

As demonstrated by last winter, this method has fully justified itself.

Disposal of waste

When the device of this type septic tank a major issue becomes recycling effluent obtained at the outlet of the third tank.

Even if the liquid after the filtration capacity is transparent and odorless, it is full of bacteria, including dangerous to health. Therefore, this water remains to be the main way - soil aftertreatment.

This usually arrange the fields of filtration, where the wastewater. This leads to additional excavation, and in some years, such a field can be silted up, and it will have to dig out and clean.

What to do? And then it dawned on forumchanin.

Khozain2000(FORUMHOUSE):

- I thought that for the field of filtration devices can use the space around themselves wells.

To realize the idea, forumchanin dug a pit for the installation of wider rings rings themselves by about 40-50 cm. After that set the ring and sprinkle them with gravel and sand.

To better care of water drainage capacity, in the walls need to drill holes or use ready-made ring.

Khozain2000(FORUMHOUSE):

- Sealing wells I checked before putting into operation of a septic tank by pouring one into the water for a week wells. In sealed wells level has not changed, but because of the drain water left. His first winter and spring showed that septic tank works fine.

For pumping water from the drain well forumchanin installed sump pump in it.

This pump is necessary in case of heavy volleys of discharges, or if spring will fill vadose drainage well.

According forumchanin because water discharge occurs only in the spring, the concentration of pollutants in the so-called gray stock, highly diluted vadose negligible.

One problem septic winter operation with the drain pump may be freezing of the water in the tube, which leads to the appearance of an ice plug. Usually out of this unpleasant situation using the heating cable, which connects to the mains. Validating came up with another option:

Khozain2000(FORUMHOUSE):

- I did fall towards the pump and how everything should be insulated. Therefore, after switching off the pump the water remaining in the hose flows into the well, not having to freeze.

Summarizing, we can say that even a well-tested scheme can be improved. The main thing - do not be afraid to experiment, and to all approached with sober calculation!
