The main problem of living outside the city is the lack of a central sewerage system. Each of us has long been accustomed to communal benefits, so life without them seems far from comfortable. Most reliable way arrange in your country house waste disposal is the installation of a storage tank for sewage. Such tanks are completely sealed tanks, where sewage flows straight from the house through the sewer pipe. What are the features of the operation of such containers? And how troublesome is their maintenance during operation?

Functions of storage tanks

In general, experts advise dealing with the organization of the sewer system on the site in parallel with the construction of the house. The thing is that you will need a large amount of preparatory earthwork, namely, to dig a foundation pit. It is rational to do this at the stage of laying the foundation of the house. In principle, you can do without a pit. Sewer storage capacity may well be placed on the surface of the earth. However, this spoils a little appearance your site.

Before digging a pit, you will have to decide on its size, which depends on how much runoff per day will flow into the storage tank (read: ""). Please note that the smaller the pit, the more often you will need to call a sewage machine, which will clean the container from the contents. And these are extra costs.

But, despite all the worries with the maintenance of the tank, there is certainly a point in it.

The following functions of storage tanks can be distinguished:

Collection and storage (until cleaning) of all coming from home Wastewater.
Protection environment from sewage. All thanks to the complete tightness of such containers.
Well, let's not forget that the storage sewer for a summer residence or country house- this is necessary condition a comfortable and cozy life for all members of your family (more: "").

To become a happy owner of communal benefits on your site, it is not necessary to spend a crazy amount of money. It is quite possible to equip the sewerage system in the house on your own. This is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. If you carefully study the question posed and show your skill and skills, the result will exceed all your expectations.

Storage sewer options

There are several such options. And each of them, no doubt, has its pros and cons.

Cesspool

This, of course, is the most banal and inexpensive method of organizing sewage. It is resorted to in the case of a small amount of wastewater per day. But there are a lot of shortcomings. Firstly, there is a danger of possible contamination of groundwater and the surrounding area. Secondly, bad smell is always a companion of cesspools. Thirdly, you can easily turn out to be an offender and incur liability. So, today the law provides for the punishment of the ruble for those who harm the environment.

septic tank

Septic tanks are able not only to accumulate wastewater in themselves, but also to carry out their thorough cleaning. True, for such a luxury you have to pay a tidy sum. And besides, septic tanks are very difficult to install and require a lot of space for their placement.

Local wastewater treatment plant

The price of such a station is no less than that of a septic tank. Although, of course, the quality of wastewater treatment is not enough high level. The disadvantages include the fact that the station is powered by the mains. And yet - it makes sense if you have a very large family and a lot of water-consuming appliances in the house, and there is also a bath, shower or even a pool. In other cases, the purchase will not justify itself!

Storage tank for drains

Perhaps, the storage tank for sewage is an ideal price-quality ratio. For quite reasonable costs, you can get a quality way to organize a sewer system (read also: ""). The only thing is that such a container requires cleaning. Therefore, when designing its placement at home, make sure that a sewage truck can easily drive up to it.

Correctly install storage tank

First you need to determine the volume of future capacity. Do not forget that an excessively small sewage storage tank is disadvantageous, in view of the need to empty it frequently. Usually, for a family of four, experts recommend a volume of about 10 cubic meters. it optimal size containers. By the way, in order to understand that it is time to empty the container, you can not only look into it, but you can also simply buy a tank fullness control sensor in the store. When the tank needs effluent cleaning, the sensor will give an alarm. It is convenient and does not require a lot of money.

Now as for the installation of the container itself.

Here are some tips from experienced professionals:

It is important to choose the right place to place the container. It is better if you dig a pit where the ground is below the level of your house. To sewer well the truck should be easy to drive up.
The bottom of the pit must be filled with concrete. Or you can generously pour gravel and rubble there. After all, a filled storage tank weighs a lot. And it may well be unstable on ordinary soft soil. A hard bottom will give it stability.
It is better to make the sewer system multi-chamber. In the first - solid precipitation simply settles to the bottom. In the second chamber, the effluents undergo a more thorough cleaning. After that, such water can easily be used for horticultural purposes.
Elements necessary for the sewer system: tanks, ventilation pipe (so that odors do not accumulate in containers), a cover with a hatch for pumping out the contents, sewage pipe, which runs from the house to the reservoir.
And finally, how to make the tanks themselves? You can of course use concrete rings or simple tires. However, the tightness of such a design will suffer. Yes, and you will have to tinker fairly. It is much easier to buy ready-made storage tanks for sewage in a country house or in a large country house.

How to choose a storage tank for sewage

On sale you can find storage tanks for sewage plastic or metal. However, the difference between them is serious. Do not forget that metal corrodes easily, especially in such an environment. Therefore, metal containers can quickly become unusable. To prolong their life, you can, of course, cover them from the inside with a special solution. But with plastic containers, the hassle is much less. As you can see in the photo, they are easy to install (even alone), completely sealed and not subject to the aggressive effects of drains and moisture.

So, when dealing with the installation of a sewer system in your area, be attentive to any little things and make the right choice. Then life outside the city will turn into a real fairy tale!

For each summer resident or owner of a private house, it becomes necessary to install a storage tank for drains.

The product is a waterproof tank, for the accumulation and storage of liquid. Wastewater does not seep into the soil, which means it does not pollute the environment. Therefore, the tank is ideal for places where there is no centralized sewerage.

Storage tank for sewage, buy

You can buy a storage tank for sewage with different size and form. For a large capacity, a tank with a large volume is chosen, the larger the volume, the less often it becomes necessary to clean it.

Non-volatile septic tanks

Volatile septic tanks

The principle of operation of the storage tank for sewage is very simple. It has an inlet with a lid through which sewage flows and further purification.

It is buried in the soil, so it is not visible, and the site does not lose its aesthetic appearance. In this case, the location should be taken into account so that the entrance to it is as accessible as possible. Installing a tank will save a lot of money, since the price of storage tanks is affordable.

A variety of materials from which drives are made allow you to choose the option that is suitable for your site. It is necessary to take into account the terrain and the level of groundwater. For ease of operation of the storage tank for wastewater, sensors are installed to monitor the level of liquid in the tank.

For creation materials are used: brick, concrete, reinforced concrete, plastic, metal, glass. Some options are already outdated. Today, plastic and glass storage tanks are popular, due to their high waterproofing, easy installation and lack of odor.

Storage tank installation

The specialists of our company AquaFocus LLC will solve the problem with installing the device in short time while respecting all established rules and norms.

Experts will work on:

digging a pit in accordance with the size;
casting the slab to the bottom of the pit, to equalize the load on the tank;
installation;
fixation and fastening;
backfilling of the pit with an installed container with a mixture of sand and cement;
at the end of the work, the remaining soil is buried.

Over time, any container needs maintenance. As it fills up, it needs to be released, for this a sewage machine is used.

Out-of-town construction is being carried out at an active pace, and not all areas under construction have central water supply and sewerage. However, given the fact that modern summer residents and owners country houses strive for comfort, it follows that in any case they will carry out sewerage in their houses and they also need irrigation water for vegetable gardens. Hoping only for gifts in the form of rain from nature is not worth it.

Consequently, the owners will face the problem of storage tanks for water and sewerage. Storage tanks can perform many tasks:

remove wastewater, concentrating them (from cottages, country houses, buildings for various purposes);
storage tanks are also used in production in treatment facilities;
in the industry of chemical products, harmful effluents are collected in storage tanks to be disposed of later;
used for food storage.

Types of storage tanks

Tanks for collecting wastewater and other purposes are different kinds, types, sizes, from various materials and at different prices. The market is full, any private trader or industrialist can find at his request:

septic tank (with and without a sensor);
storage capacity (or tank) from 20 thousand to 2 thousand liters.

This technical device is designed to collect sewage effluents for household needs, in order to subsequent cleaning and discharge into the soil or sewage treatment.

Most often, septic tanks are used in residential buildings or industrial facilities where there is no tie-in to the city sewer.

Septic tanks have their positive aspects:

they are sealed;
constructions are light;
long-term in use;
have good resistance to corrosion and chemical reaction.

A storage septic tank is a design designed to collect sewer drains, a kind of cesspool, but improved, moreover, produced by the industry for self-assembly.

Septic tanks come with and without sensors. If the customer wishes, the septic tank is completed with fullness sensor at the specified level. When the container is filled to a certain level, the sensor gives a signal. Of course, this is very convenient to use.

Septic tanks, like cesspools, periodically needs to be cleaned with the help of public utilities, so the sewage collector should be conveniently located for the entrance of the sewage truck, but not very close to the wells with drinking water, if any exist or are planned on the site.

When choosing the size of a septic tank for a private house or cottage, it is necessary to take into account that the average flow per person per day is 200 cu. mm, according to sanitary minima 2.04.03-85.

Storage tanks with a volume of 2 thousand liters are produced with a diameter of 1100 mm and a length of 2100 mm, and containers for 20 thousand liters - 3000 mm in diameter and 11600 mm long. That is, it is clearly seen that it is possible to choose the most varied reservoir for waste water collection. Naturally, the larger the capacity, the more expensive it is.

Storage tank - a sealed, cylindrical tank is used for collection and storage Wastewater.

It is correct to use them by including them in the scheme of the central city sewerage system. In the event of an accident, these treated effluents can be used as reserve volume of water.

Such containers are made mainly of fiberglass, have several advantages in front of containers made of other materials:

they are resistant to chemical compounds;
do not require additional fasteners;
withstand various seasonal changes temperatures;
produced in different sizes;
they are not very heavy in weight, which is convenient when they are installed underground;
long-term in operation (serve over 40 years);
it is possible to order containers according to individual drawings, this does not affect their specifications in further use;
it is possible to connect several containers at once to increase the working volume;
it is possible to manufacture a container from several sections for deeper water purification (similar to a septic tank);
tanks can be transported by any type of transport;
the inside of the tank is smooth - this is good when drains pass, since they will not form congestion;
storage tanks when installed underground do not require permission from the sanitary services, as they are absolutely sealed and made of very durable material;
for containers, the type of soil has no restrictions, due to the high resistant material from which they are made;
storage containers are also successfully used for watering the garden, since it is possible to accumulate clean water, and being on the surface, the tank heats up in the sun, thereby warming the water;
in conditions where there are problems with drinking water, drinking water is stored in these containers;
containers can also be used for food storage;
if necessary, various liquids can be transported in these containers.

Storage tanks are beneficial in that they are completely isolate wastewater from falling into the soil. This is environmentally justified and therefore they are most suitable for use in sewers.

Requirements for the operation of storage tanks

storage tanks are produced finished product and require implementation certain norms to keep them running:

Prices for storage tanks

An approximate list of prices for storage tanks is indicated in the table:

The price is indicated for the use of the tank underground; deepening up to 2.5 m., enter exit pvc pipes from 110 to 160 mm.

storage capacity	volume, m3	Diameter, thousand mm	Length, thousand mm	Weight, tons	Price, thousand rubles including VAT
HE-5−1500	5	1,5	2,85	0,24	66,4

Within a large locality problems with connecting to a centralized sewer usually do not arise, which cannot be said about remote areas of private sectors, villages and towns. In order not to breathe fetid odors and not spoil health and the environment, it is possible to solve the problem of removing liquid waste by installing an autonomous sewer system. When selecting a capacitive tank for sewage, one must proceed not only from the final cost of the tank and the complexity of installation, but also from the material from which the tank is made.

In order for household waste not to cause harm to the surrounding flora and fauna, it is necessary to provide a place for draining the LRW with subsequent disposal in time.

Metal tanks: characteristics of tanks

Metal is the most popular material used in the manufacture of tanks, barrels, septic tanks, cesspools and other structures for storage and use in households and factories. But what are the real advantages and disadvantages of steel sewage tanks?

Advantages of steel tanks

Metal containers for sewage are highly durable and do not deform during installation and subsequent use (even if the tank is dropped during transportation or carelessly lowered into a pit dug under a septic tank). Yes, and there are no special problems in installing the tank - no winches or special equipment in order to simply lower the sewer tank into the pit.

If we compare metal sewage storage tanks with brick or concrete drain tanks:

Metal sewage tanks have a significantly lower mass, which automatically attributes such a device to the simplest and fastest installation methods;
The lightness of the tank. Steel tanks it is easy to install on your own, using 1-2 people as assistants;
Low cost and wide selection. If you do not want to buy a vat in a specialized store, you can look into the scrap metal collection point. As a rule, there are plenty of used tanks for several cubes at the metal base.

Disadvantages of steel sewer tanks

Despite the advantages of steel structures, a steel sewer tank has a number of significant disadvantages:

Perhaps one of the significant drawbacks of metal containers, regardless of the specific place of use, is a high level of susceptibility to corrosion. In view of the large presence in household waste of various impurities and chemicals ( washing powders, detergents and so on), the tank starts to rust from the inside. Closer to 1.5-2 years of active operation, the tank will no longer be airtight: the chemical components of the chemicals drained into the water supply system will “eat through” holes in the tank;

Regardless of the volume of the steel structure, for the sewer system to work correctly, you will need to cut several holes for connecting the water supply:

for input of household waste;
for water purification in a septic tank (several holes for several autonomous treatment stations may be required).

In view of the short service life, although the steel model was popular among owners of private houses earlier, now more and more people prefer sewer tanks made of other material.

Sewer containers made of plastic

Advantages

Plastic structures are gaining a new round of popularity, all thanks to a large list of advantages of this material:

Light weight. Unlike a metal counterpart, a storage tank for sewage in a country house made of plastic weighs significantly less, which makes installation work its installation is much easier;
To install the tank, no special equipment is required, because. all that is needed is simply to lower the plastic tank into a prepared hole;
In view of the low weight of the structure, fewer hands will also be needed to transport and lower the tank into the pit;
Absolute resistance to corrosion. Therefore, the need to replace the equipment arises after several decades, depending on the activity of using the tank and the amount of liquid waste drained with harmful chemical components in the composition;
No problems with connecting to a septic tank in order to bring groundwater for treatment, sewer pipelines and other equipment. Hole right size in a certain place you can either burn it out or cut it out. Plastic is a very malleable material; it takes much less time to prepare it for installation than steel tanks.

Disadvantages of plastic tanks

Despite the weighty list of positive qualities plastic structures, these tanks are not without cons:

the cost of a plastic tank by 3 cubic meters exceeds the cost of a steel one by 1.5-2 times;
in view of the lightness and lower strength of the material, installation work must be carried out with special care so as not to deform the structure when lowered into the pit.

Useful information. Due to the fact that the plastic tank is quite light, with a high level of groundwater, underground flows can push it out of the pit. In order to prevent this from happening, it is necessary to take care of additional outlets or make a concrete weighting agent that will not allow the structure to float.

Fiberglass sewers

Advantages

Unlike plastic tanks, fiberglass tanks for a private house have a longer service life. On average, with the active use of the tank by 2-3 users, the service life is estimated at 4-5 decades, while the service life of plastic tanks is 5-10 years shorter.

Among other things, it should be noted:

high strength fiberglass construction;
light tank weight;
installation of a fiberglass tank underground is not necessary - you can limit yourself to placing it on the surface;
in view of the possibility of installation not only underground, but also on the surface, the problems of placing groundwater flows cease to worry;
unlike other analogues, fiberglass containers calmly tolerate sub-zero temperatures (which is especially important for the northern regions);
complete tightness and seamlessness of the structure automatically excludes the passage of liquid household waste outside the structure.

Disadvantages of fiberglass sewerage

Installing fiberglass sewer systems in a private house implies its disadvantages:

when transporting and installing fiberglass sewers, care must be taken, because. the material is very fragile;
unlike plastic, fiberglass containers are more expensive at a price;
fiberglass drives are made only in large volumes;
require systematic maintenance by special sewage equipment (ilosom);
for underground installation, it is necessary to make a concrete weight, otherwise the ground flows will push the drive out.

Reinforced concrete storage

Sewerage from reinforced concrete rings installed in a pre-prepared well. The second and less expensive option is to make the sewer yourself. In terms of financial costs, it will come out significantly less, but there will be more worries, because. it is necessary not only to dig a hole, but to make a formwork, pour concrete mortar in several stages and wait for complete solidification. Thus, it is possible to obtain sewage according to an individual scheme, and this is a unique size and depth of the sewer system, you do not have to bother with transportation and installation.

The option of purchasing ready-made reinforced concrete rings implies the cost of:

production of rings (the cost of one reinforced concrete block is equal to 1.5-2 thousand rubles and only grows in the "plus", depending on the parameters of the ring);
transportation (in view of the large load, most manufacturers prescribe a certain monetary unit per 1 km, on average 20-25 rubles / km).

Despite a significant drawback: the large weight of each ring separately, which implies the delivery and installation of reinforced concrete structures exclusively with the help of special equipment, such autonomous sewerage there are a number of advantages:

high structural strength;
in view of the large mass, the sewage system will not float under the pressure of ground flows (as can happen with a plastic or fiberglass structure);
does not require additional anti-corrosion treatment, as is the case with metal sewers;
if the possibility of a driveway for special equipment to the location of the sewer pit allows, it is better to install a reinforced concrete sewer;
high service life.

When choosing a tank for autonomous sewage, it is necessary to proceed not only from financial possibilities, but also from the geographical and geological features of the location of the site, the possibility of access for special equipment and the depth of underground rivers.

Almost every owner of a summer house or a private house is faced with the problem of sewer disposal. After all, it is not always possible to connect to the central system. Remoteness from the city, high cost of connection, lack of centralized system- these are the main reasons why it is necessary to install individual tanks for collecting liquid waste. Primitive cesspools, outdoor toilet are rapidly disappearing into the past. Modern man seeks to live in comfort, creating special conditions for living.
Each person can create comfortable conditions independently. Installation of modern plastic systems allows you to do all the work simply and quickly.

Application of sewer systems

Usage plastic containers on its site allows you to solve the problem with the collection of used water to the best extent. In addition, their installation has a beneficial effect on the environment, because wastewater does not enter the soil. Most sites are located in areas with shallow water flow. groundwater. In such places, it is very easy for sewage waste to get into a river, well or spring. Under these conditions, build cesspool is not only difficult, but often impossible.
It is the capacity for sewerage that solves this problem. It is able to improve the performance of the drain system and allows you to use the toilet and bathroom in the house without any inconvenience.
Functional products can be installed as storage tanks. Periodically, such containers need special cleaning. Also, with the help of containers, you can mount a whole system of septic tanks with special filters installed. Passing a multifaceted purification, already purified water will fall into the soil. Each of the methods has its own advantages and can be implemented on any site.

Features of storage tanks

Storage tanks for sewerage to create an autonomous system are made of heavy-duty plastic or fiberglass. They have high performance characteristics:

durable and reliable in use;
light weight, allowing them to be mounted on any type of soil;
sealed;
have a long period of operation;
do not interact with the environment and do not react to temperature changes;
just mounted.

The volume of plastic tanks should be selected depending on the amount of water used. Such an option is ideal solution for a few families who use running water more economically. Experts recommend for the perfect use of the system to pump out the tanks twice a year. For example, for a family of 3 people who consume up to 150 liters of water daily, a tank with a capacity of 6 cubic meters is suitable. But many play it safe by installing a sewer tank a few cubes more.
A plastic tank should be purchased before you start digging a hole. Having the exact dimensions of the product, you can dig an excellent recess that allows you to accurately install the tank. As a rule, it is buried to the depth of the soil, which is not subject to freezing in winter.
For a summer residence in which there are no permanent residents, you can install plastic tanks of much smaller sizes. Many summer residents prefer tanks in 2 cubic meters. Such capacity is pumped out after the end of the summer season.

Pros and cons of storage tanks

The advantages of storage tanks include:

resistance to mechanical damage. Even after many years, such a tank is not subject to cracking, corrosion and corrosive environment;
long period of operation, which is up to 50 years;
simple installation that does not require special equipment;
absence of bureaucratic litigation. Installing a standalone system does not require registration;
use on any soil;
tightness to ensure reliable protection the environment from the ingress of wastewater into the ground;
acceptable product cost.

The main disadvantage of storage tanks is the need to pump out. Such containers are emptied with the help of special sewage trucks at intervals of a year. In addition, the disadvantage is the fact that a special vehicle requires an entrance to carry out the pumping of the tank.

Features of the septic tank

A septic tank is a multifunctional water purification system. With the help of filters installed in it at the outlet, you can get absolutely clean water, which will not adversely affect the soil, polluting it with waste. Special aerobic bacteria help to purify the water in the septic tank. The principle of operation of the system is to repeatedly pour wastewater from tank to tank:

wastewater enters a tank with bacteria that process waste into clean water;
purified water passes into the next compartment and settles there;
the accumulated settled water is poured into a perforated pipe, through which it seeps into the soil.

With such a system, you can get absolutely pure water at the outlet. The degree of its purification directly depends on the number of tanks for purification and the work of bacteria. Today you can buy a variety of systems. The market offers a choice of one-two- and three-chamber systems.
When choosing a capacity for such a system, it is necessary to calculate 3 daily intake water. For example, for three residents with a daily water use of 150 liters, an airtight tank of 2 cubic meters is ideal.

Pros and cons of septic tanks

The advantages of septic tanks include:

tightness, due to which sewage sewage does not enter the soil;
do not require connection to electricity;
resistance to mechanical damage and destruction;
the use of anaerobic bacteria, thanks to which absolutely pure water enters the soil;
long period of operation;
can be used for a long time without cleaning.

The disadvantages of septic tanks include:

use only in soil with a high filtration coefficient;
has a higher cost;
installation is carried out after agreement with the sanitary and epidemiological station;
more complex installation than storage tanks.

Choice of plastic tanks

A plastic container must be chosen according to individual water consumption and the number of family members. For small families, tanks of small volumes are suitable, respectively. Today you can buy a tank various forms. Horizontal and vertical tanks of cylindrical or rectangular shape. They can also have one or two layer walls. Correct selection plastic tank ensures the smooth operation of the entire system, which is why when choosing, you should pay attention to:

product volume. Before you go shopping, it is recommended to calculate the required values;
the availability of components that allow you to mount the sewer system especially quickly and easily. For example, the presence of special floats allows you to control the level sewage water in a container;
purpose of the container. Very often there are cases when, instead of a waste container, sellers try to “push” a water tank. Such tanks are not suitable for sewer installation. They have thin walls, which over time begin to let sewage into the ground.

When installing an autonomous sewer system, experts recommend paying attention to the type of soil. So, for example, for clay soils, it is most effective to install storage tanks, since such soil will poorly pass the filtered water of their septic tanks. Also, this option is not suitable for those areas where ground water are too close. The effect of such a natural phenomenon from the installation of a septic tank will be quite the opposite: groundwater will enter the filters and fill the tank. The system simply won't work.
Autonomous sewer system allows you to simply solve the problem with drainage in the country. That is why it is very popular among summer residents who prefer comfort and convenience. Sewerage in the house allows you to enjoy your vacation in the country and live in familiar conditions.
