Pumping 💡 cesspools: methods and effective cleaning methods

Centralized sewage rustic village for many - an expensive luxury, so that virtually all truckers concerned pumping cesspools. Methods and techniques of this process may vary depending on the type of septic tank scavengers and availability of services. But, anyway, it is necessary to clean septic tanks. How can I cope with this task - in a small review of HouseChief edition.

Pit pit hatred: how to operate stand-alone treatment

Cesspool - a rather primitive device for the disposal of sewage. But the structure itself may have distinctive characteristics, which can affect the pumping process. The tank walls wastewater may be made of bricks, concrete, metal or plastic.

Among other things, the waste pit may be completely sealed or those that are partially liquid part of the waste allow to seep into the soil through a pad of sand and small stones.

septic Tank comprise several compartments, each of which cleaning of different character occurs: by a mechanical or biological method. The result of such devices can be water fit for irrigation, but they require periodic cleaning of silt.

How often should I clean the cesspool

There is no universal term, which can be described as a recommendation. The frequency of cleaning depends on several variables, these include the parameters such as the tank size, the volume and nature of the waste.

Effluents are divided into degradable organic substances in waste which includes waste products and pulp and inorganic substances, which, falling into the waste pit, and do not decompose quickly fill it volume.

The rate of filling of the waste pit affects the volume of water consumption in the home. And this figure is composed of two factors: the number of family members and their ability to use water sparingly. If members of your family take a bath every day - septic tank It will be filled with greater speed.

Interesting fact: It found that people aged much less water than young people and children. Most likely, this is due to a conscious attitude to spending.

When leaky design sump when part of filtered effluents and leaves the ground, the rate of filling depends on accumulation of slowly decomposing waste at the bottom. That drains freely seep through gravel and sand filter requires regular removal of silt plugs.

For example, if each family member spends over 100 liters of water, while a family of four, the sealed tank volume of 4 m³ is filled in 10 days.

How to clean the drains scavengers

The easiest but expensive way to clean the sewage pit - call the professionals. Pros in this solution is certain: you will not have to wrestle with what to do with the fact that you extract from the tank. In addition, you do not get dirty hands, because the work is not a pleasant one.

Vacuum trucks can be used vacuum equipment, which simply cleans sewage pumping method or hydrodynamic method in which pumping takes place in two phases: elimination of the bulk of waste and washing of the well with water followed by re- pumping.

The machine vacuum trucks could drive up to the place of work need to prepare in advance fares.

Tip! If the septic tank has not been cleaned for a long time, solid crust formed on its walls, which scavengers can not deal in a single visit. To not have to pay twice to call the car is better to use biological or chemical substances that destroy the hard plaque and prepare the pit for cleaning.

As a self-pumped cesspool

Self-pumping sewage pit - the case for a strong spirit. This particular hard work that requires a lot of effort. In any case, you need work clothes, preferably rubber, long gloves and a mask, which protects against sudden smell of sewage and toxic methane, a dangerous life.

Manual mechanical cleaning

Manual labor is justified if the tank volume is small and it has to be cleaned is not very often.

Some gardeners use the extracted sewage waste to fertilize the garden and the garden. If there is no such intention - then the contents of the pit packed in sealed barrels and casks themselves are disposed of in a landfill. Remember that filled the barrels weigh very much, so it is best to put them right on the trailer or in the back, and only then to fill. It is possible that the machine itself then have long to wash.

Pumping cesspools methods and methods using a pump

To avoid direct contact with the waste in case of manual cleaning, you can use special sewage pumps. They suck the dirt out of the system and throw it in the place that you are prepared for this purpose. If the contents of the pit liquid - a procedure quite simple.

Remember that recycling waste on its site can cause conflict with neighbors. Not everyone like aromas of rotting waste nearby. Neighbors may complain about you to the authorities, and it threatens a serious penalty.

If you decide to purchase specialized pump, You'll notice that they come in three types: surface, semi-submersible and submersible. The name itself speaks about the features of this technique. The housing unit for faeces are made of cast iron or steel, so it can sink under its own weight into a compact mass, and that the apparatus is attached to a chain or metal cable. Such pumps may reside in the pit, they are included as needed. About once a quarter they should be cleaned and lubricated to prevent corrosion.

The apparatus is outside, and a waste reservoir only omitted hose, through which suction takes place. Such pumps are quite compact and easy to use, do not allow unpleasant odors during the evacuation, since the pit can not open the door using only a small opening for the hose. Such models are Chopper design, and can handle waste fractions with large up to 8 cm. The only drawback of this technique - it does not work at temperatures below zero.

Preparations to accelerate the decomposition of waste and facilitate the evacuation process

Delay the periodic cleaning drains and expedite the process and eliminate unpleasant odors, which accompany it, may use special formulations of chemical or biological content.

Bioveschestva

There are bacteria that are used as food organics, including sewage.

Bacteria digested feces water, gas and precipitate. Septic tank water is discharged into the ground, and the pellet was stored for a long time. Such bioseptiki cleaned every two to three years.

Bacteria are working in such devices are divided into aerobic - that is, those that require oxygen, and anaerobic, which do not need oxygen to live.

Chemicals for the pit

For rapid decomposition of the waste is poured into cesspools ammonium compounds or nitrogen, as well as bleach. Any of these aggressive drug acts quickly and efficiently, reducing the total waste volume and weight.

Why not prevent siltation of the pit

Yl - a fine heavy particles, which tend to caking, forming a solid layer which is very difficult to give in the pumps. Therefore, you should regularly clean the hole, even if it is not full. Long-term sediment layer can literally turn to stone, which can not cope even professionals.

With self-pumping, take some time out to wash the walls of the pit with water and use biological products to remove deposits.
