The arrangement of the sewer network of country houses and detached buildings in the city today has reached a whole new level.

The case of the device is characterized by high strength, which is explained by the manufacturing technology, because the design is based on high-pressure polyethylene.
Principle of operation
Quite often, consumers have recently chosen the treatment plant of the Microbe models, a septic tank of this type works according to a certain principle, which, as a rule, is interesting to the consumer who is going to do installation work. Sewerage flows from the inlet to the first tank, where the water is cleaned of solid waste and fairly large particles. Depending on the modification, there may be several such containers. Then sewage enters the secondary tank, where biological filters come into operation. Manufacturers of septic tanks of the described type took as the basis for the action of bacteria, which are selected in the correct concentration. The calculation of these microorganisms is carried out by a specialist, an insufficient number of aerobic bacteria will not be able to ensure normal functioning, this will lead to an excessive population growth, which will lead to the formation of an excessive volume of gases and increased fermentation.
For complete sterilization of wastewater, it will take about 2-5 days, which depends on the volume and frequency of discharge. If you need a treatment plant at the cottage, then you can select “Microbe”. A septic tank of this type has a soil purification filter. As soon as the sewage passes the above steps, through the inlet pipe they will enter the infiltrator. It may contain gravel and sand. Overcoming these materials, the liquid is freed from all kinds of particles that have not been eliminated until this point during the operation of the septic tank. In some models, a filter is installed at the output, which allows you to destroy traces of the vital activity of bacteria before water enters the ground. Consumers really like the Microbe device, a septic tank of this kind does not provide for the need for additional pumping of feces, but it will still be necessary to periodically disinfect. For this, it is unacceptable to use antimicrobial substances and chemical components. Cleaning the filters and the bottom of the septic tank can be done using special tools that will not be able to harm bacteria.
What else you need to know about the principle of operation
Before purchasing such equipment, you should find out that septic tanks of this type are not pumped. Installations operate on the basis of two processes: initially, sewage settles, and then begin to interact with anaerobic bacteria. Ultimately, water is cleaned by about 85%, but this degree is not enough, so drainage wells with built-in filtration are attached to the equipment in addition. An alternative solution is filtering fields.
