Almost all of us have become very attached to comfort. A normal level of comfort is unthinkable without a high-quality sewer system. That is why we will talk about which sewage well to choose for a frequent home.
The difficulty lies in the fact that in rural areas there is practically no centralized system of drains. Of course, it is simpler and best to make a drainage system even at the stage of building a house, but it is quite realistic to do this afterwards. There are several of its most common types. They include a simple
cesspool, a septic tank or a sewer
well of a filtration type. It is difficult to advise something specific, since the choice depends not only on your preferences, but also on the characteristics of the area where you live.
The easiest way to equip a cesspool. The disadvantage of such a system is that it must be periodically cleaned. To do this, you can use a fecal pump, but it is easier to resort to the services of professional wastewater. There is another limitation: a cesspool can only be done where groundwater lies deep beneath the surface of the soil. The depth of such a hole for normal drainage should be at least 2.5 meters, and its walls should be laid out with bricks, or reinforced concrete sewer wells should be used for this purpose.
To protect yourself from unpleasant odors, you should place this system on the leeward side of the yard, and make the hatch double, with a quality cover. Do not forget about the
ventilation pipe, which should extend outside the well by at least 0.6-0.8 m.
The filtration system is more efficient, but still more suitable for those farms that produce an average amount of wastewater. As in the previous case, the walls are most preferably made of brick or concrete rings. Such a sewer well should be made at least 2.5 meters deep, and its width should be at least one meter. Outside, the building wakes up with high-quality crushed stone, which is poured with a layer of about 0.3 m. It should be noted that the inner walls of the tank must be carefully plastered with a thick cement mortar.
But experts agree that a septic tank is best suited for a private house. Its design is based on a system of interconnected wells. As in the case of the filtration type, each of them should have a depth of at least 2.5 m, but the width is preferable from 1.5 m. The volume of the tank is calculated so that the entire amount of incoming wastewater could remain in it for at least three days. A high-quality
ventilation system is also very important
, since it is the presence of air that is the most important contributing factor in the biological decomposition of waste, which characterizes this type of sewer well.
It must be said that during the construction of any sewer system it is necessary to follow all sanitary requirements in the most strict manner. It is because of certain sanitary standards that a sewer well, the price of which can be very attractive, may not suit you. Examine SNIPs in the appropriate area. You may need to negotiate with local government representatives to build a large sewage system. In 100% of cases, you will have to talk to them when in your area the groundwater comes close to the surface of the soil.
