Cumulative septic for summer cottage and country house

If you decide to equip a storage cesspool on a suburban site or in a private house, it is important to initially carry out the preparatory work. It is necessary to decide what material will be the basis of the system. The most common today are plastic or concrete cesspools. Among other things, it is necessary to take into account the rules for the location of this structure. Cumulative septic tank should be located at a distance of 5 meters from residential buildings. If there are wells or similar structures in the territory, the capacity from them should be removed by 30 meters. If the groundwater is high , then it will be necessary to install a cleaning structure above the ground, without immersing it in the ground. The owners must provide access roads to the pit, as it will have to be systematically pumped out. In order to ensure a good passage of sewage through the pipes, it is necessary to arrange the storage tank so that the pipeline approaches it in a straight trajectory or has a minimum number of turns.

Features of preparation

If you will be equipped with a storage septic tank, you need to determine at what altitude the pipeline's entry into the purification tank will be located. After that, it is necessary to prepare a trench for pipes and a trench for the drive. If the pipes will be located under the ground, then they must be damped by 1 meter, while 20 cm will go to the preparation of gravel and sand. This is necessary so that when frost comes, the water that is located inside does not freeze. This will ensure the integrity of the pipes, otherwise there may be an obstacle to the outflow of sewage. If you place the pipeline on the surface of the earth, then this problem does not cease to be relevant. Partially solve this issue can be a method of isolating the system with special materials.

Work on installing a storage tank of reinforced concrete rings

Cumulative septic tank can be equipped with concrete rings. When preparing a pit, it is necessary to carry out excavation work in such a way that the walls of the tank are removed from the walls of the pit by one meter. This distance provides access to the structure along the entire perimeter. The bottom must be well leveled, as the most optimal option is leveling with a cement screed. On the surface is mounted a concrete ring, which has a bottom. In the upper part there should be supporting protrusions. At the next stage, the second element is mounted, which is a concrete ring with projections for the hatch on the upper part. In the role of a sealer, rubber should be used. The storage septic tank assumes the presence of a pipeline, for it using a perforator in the lower ring it is necessary to make two holes. One of them will be intended for air intake. Now it is possible to mount a gas outlet pipe, and also to install a drain pipe. The resulting joints should be sealed with a solution. After the entire surface has dried, it should be treated with a liquid glass.

Recommendations for the arrangement of a cesspool of concrete rings

If you decide to equip a storage tank for a summer cottage, then for this you can use reinforced concrete rings. To begin with, it is important to determine how many people will use the system all the time. The basis is taken one cubic meter per person. Thus, a family consisting of 3 people will have enough 12 cubic meters of a storage septic tank. At the same time, natural needs are taken into account and it is assumed that there will be a washing machine in the house. This system will be cleaned approximately 2 times a year.

When storing septic tanks, the tanks can be chosen from different materials. Installation of drain pipes must be laid even during the construction of the house. If the construction is quite old, and the sewage system is not provided for it, then the pipes are laid to a depth of 80 cm, while it is important to observe the slope. Finally, the pipes must be removed at the last stage. Determined with rings for the sewage system, it is preferable to purchase factory-made products. It is not recommended to use those that have already been in use. During this time they could lose the tightness. In the process of installing reinforced concrete rings, we can not do without special lifting equipment. This is one of the drawbacks of using such rings. After renting equipment will entail additional costs.

Nuances during work

Septic tanks accumulating fiberglass, of course, are considered a more modern option. However, not all of them are satisfied for some reason. If you decide to prefer reinforced concrete rings, the bottom of the pit should be properly arranged, only in this way you exclude the detrimental impact of impurities on the environment. On 4 parts of sand one part of cement and rubble should be used, the last of which is used in an amount of 6 parts. From these ingredients, a solution is prepared, into which water is gradually added.

Installing a storage pile of plastic

Septic tanks have recently been increasingly equipped with plastic containers. Such popularity of this material is due to ease of installation. However, such a system has a significant drawback. It is expressed in the fact that the capacity can not be completely hidden under the ground.

Features of the installation

Septic tanks accumulated from plastic are equipped according to the technology, which assumes the preparation of the excavation, its walls should be located from the tank at a distance of 30 cm. The tank is installed on a leveled surface, which is covered with a sand pillow or a concrete screed. The container must be equipped with additional elements such as a vent pipe, as well as a float that acts as a beacon. This element is necessary for signaling the filling of the container. After the tank is installed on the site, you need to fix it. Inside should be poured clean water to a height of 15 cm, but no more. Outside, it is necessary to mount the support platform using a solution that consists of cement and sand. On the surface of the tank, absolutely no load can be exerted. It is strictly forbidden to fill the tank with earth. Septic tanks are plastic, although they can not be hidden beneath the surface of the earth, but they are becoming more and more relevant for country houses. This is due mainly to the fact that products of this type are completely hermetic, which is confirmed when compared with concrete storage tanks. They serve much longer, which is why they justify their value in a short time.

Features of storage cleaning systems from fiberglass

On sale today it is possible to meet septic tanks accumulating fiberglass. Unsaturated polyester resins are used in their production . This increases the reliability of the tanks. The manufacturer guarantees life of fiberglass tanks for 50 years. Such products are specially designed for use in the Russian climate, this indicates that fiberglass is resistant to external influences. Septic tanks, plastic, like fiberglass, is very convenient to mount because they have a low weight, and they are characterized by high strength. Installation does not involve waterproofing or caisson manipulation.

Conclusion

The most frequently used fiberglass storage septic tank has recently been used. A high level of groundwater makes it possible to use only such purification systems. That is why before starting work it is necessary to make geological studies.
