In the case when the centralized sewer system is absent, before the owners of the country house or the cottages inevitably stand up the problem of drains of wastewater. To arrange sewage in such a situation, you can find an inexpensive and simple solution by installing a septic tank made of concrete rings. After placing it at the local area, you will receive a reliable cleaning structure that will serve you for many years.

Advantages of installing septica
Solve the problem of disposal of household wastewater is easy, installing septic from concrete rings on the site. This local hermetic facility-sump in the form of one or several connected wells is used to clean household wastewater coming through the sewer pipeline. Compared to a cesspool, characterized by a tangible unpleasant odor, and which must be regularly cleaned (and significant costs are required), a more efficient solution for arranging autonomous septalization is septic.
The popularity of such a sewage treatment plant is due to its following advantages:
- install the septic tank made of concrete rings with their own hands is easy, for this it will not be necessary for pre-skills;
- to improve the septication providing owners with the necessary amenities, you will not need special costs;
- septicka functions reliably and stable, unpretentious in operation, is characterized by a long service life;
- such a cleaning structure does not depend on electricity and does not need to be conservation during the winter period.
Among the disadvantages of this waste disposal option with uncleans, it is worth noting:
- the cleaning structure is not completely sealed, so it is impossible to completely avoid unpleasant smell. In addition, it is necessary to take into account that if there is insufficiently careful compliance with the installation of concrete rings, it is possible to leak up of dirty water into the ground;
- septic chambers need to be periodically cleaned from the solid waste accumulated during operation using an assessing machine. It is worth considering the following - to speed up the processes of their decomposition and minimize the accumulation of solid fractions, you can use special biodulatures-activators, in which case the assistance of the assessing service will have to be resorted much less frequently.
Septica device
This treatment plant usually includes several chambers - one or two sections of settling wastewater in the form of wells with a concrete bottom, as well as a filter drainage well.

- To the first section under a slight bias, a pipe was supplied from which wastewater comes into the well. Under the influence of anaerobic bacteria inside it, solid waste is actively decomposed, while the liquid fractions are transfused into the second tank, and the remaining particles form a thick precipitate. When arranging this section should take care of reliable waterproofing septica from concrete rings. As a bottom of this well, it is convenient to use a concrete ring. Over time (once a few years), the accumulated precipitate will be required to be pulled off with a mud pump or with the help of an assessing machine.
- To maximize pollution cleaning, the second section can be installed, which is arranged and works similarly to the first. It is worth noting that at this stage of cleaning it is allowed to use a lower volume reservoir.
- By entering the third section of the septic, the liquid fractions pass soil filtering from the shallow suspension through the drainage layer. As a mechanical filter, there is a layer of gravel, rubble, clay or sand under the bottom of the well, from there the liquid in purified form absorbed the soil, while the incoming organic is decomposed under the action of microorganisms inhabiting these drains and soil. If the groundwater is not too deep, the process of absorption slows down - then it will take to equip the drainage field or apply the pump to pump excess fluid.
Features of installing septica
If you have decided to install the septicity of concrete rings on your site, you will need to pre-plan, including some engineering calculations and choose the most suitable place on the site to accommodate the cleaning facility.
Preliminary calculations
Pick up the most suitable septica of concrete rings is easy, determining the volume of wastewater discharge into sewage. For a family of several people living in the house, you need to calculate the total water consumption per day (the generally accepted rate of water consumption is 200 liters per person), and based on this figure, determine the required number of well rings. In accordance with the construction regulations, it is required that the septic septic camera contains the amount of wastewater coming over three days (it should be considered that the upper ring of the well should be left on 2/3 free).
If you are planning to install septica from concrete rings for a cottage house with a minimum plumbing connection, then you can do the installation of a two-chamber treatment plant. The three-dimensional septic circuit of concrete rings is preferably used to dispose of incoming wastewater in the case when there is a bath in the house or cottage, household appliances are connected in the form of a washing machine, as well as other sanitary devices.
Useful recommendations
Planning how to make a septicity of concrete rings correctly, it is worth paying attention to the following conditions for its arrangement:
- this sewage treatment is required to be placed at a distance of at least 5 m from the residential building, from the well or well - in a distance of 30-50 m;
- to avoid rain or melt water to septic, it is located on a small hill;
- sewer pipes should be installed under a slight tilt to it (based on a pair of centimeters per meter of the pipeline);
- you should not use curved and deformed pipes for the transportation of wastewater, since their bends can easily clog.
It is often quite possible as the main problem during operation of this type of cleaning device, the soil is performed on the site, in such cases it is significantly increased in the amount under the influence of external factors. In order to avoid such problems, concrete rings of wells should be installed on the "pillow" of sand, rubble, gravel or other similar materials with a thickness of at least 50 cm.
In addition, to eliminate the seeping of uncleanness from the sewage treatment plant, it is necessary to provide reliable waterproofing of the seams and the entire surface of the septic tanks from both sides. Otherwise, household wastewater over time can provoke corrosion even such durable material as concrete, reducing the durability of the septic.
In order to avoid the development of these processes, it is necessary to apply waterproofing formulations:
- to protect the outer surface of the concrete rings, a special waterproofing mastic or rubberoid is used;
- the inner surface of the containers is treated with special mastic or liquid glass.
It is also worth considering the following - to provide the possibility of access to septic tanks, each of the wells must be equipped with hatch.
How to install a septic tank made of concrete rings yourself
It is easy to figure out how to make a septicity of concrete rings. Nevertheless, having familiarized with the information provided, it will take carefully to adhere to the technology of installation of such a cleaning structure in order to further provide self-confidence in the effectiveness of its functioning, the safety of the foundation of the neighboring buildings and the ecological purity of the adjacent area.
For a family of three - at the calculation of water consumption of about 200 l per day, as well as based on the three-day filling of the well of the cleaning structure by wastewater, it is necessary to install the tank chambers with a capacity of 3x3x200 \u003d 1800 (i.e..8 l 3). Considering that the upper capacity is required to fill up to 1/3 of the volume, three concrete rings will need for the arrangement of one well. To install 2 sump and 1 filter well, it is necessary to prepare 9 such rings. For the bottom of the settling tanks, it is convenient to use concrete rings with a deaf bottom. It should be noted that due to the considerable weight, set manually such parts of the septica will be very difficult, so you should use lifting construction techniques.
To mount the septicity of concrete rings, you will need to perform the following sequence of actions:
- it is a little more than that of concrete rings (taking into account the need for their free editing (taking into account the need for their free installation). These works are conveniently performed using an excavator, or manually together - in this case, one person will dig, and the second to transport the soil to the top with a bucket attached to the rope;
- next, a sand-chick "pillow" of half-meter thickness should be placed on the bottom of the kittle.
- in addition, it is necessary to clear the entrance of the lifting equipment to the place of loading work;
- after the above work, it will take to purchase concrete rings for the arrangement of wells and concrete caps with round holes on the side to provide access inside, and then deliver them to place the placement using a cargo machinery equipped with a lifting device;
- next, using the lift-manipulator, concrete rings are installed on the location of the permanent placement, fastening them with cement mortar, and it is required to adjust their bottom in terms of the level;
- after that, it is necessary to bring overflowing pipes to the wells for the transportation of wastewater. It should be noted that the house from the house is supplied to the first sump under a small angle connecting the sumps - below 20 cm relative to the level of the first, between the second and third section - even lower by 20 cm;
- next, it is necessary to perform an outer and internal waterproofing of wells using bitumen or a special waterproofing composition. Seams can be treated with liquid glass. Solve problems with waterproofing is easy, placing plastic containers in the wells - in this case, sewing wastewater into the ground will be excluded;
- after the waterproofing is performed, it will be necessary to carry out the backstage of the ground (or the strengthened mixture of it with sand) between the walls of the kittleins and the septic chambers;
- wells should be covered with concrete lids with holes, and then install hatches in them.
Septic from concrete rings is not an ideal sewage treatment plant, but is a real find for the owners of summer houses and country houses, providing them with the necessary amenities.
