Septic tank "Chistok" - an overview of technical characteristics and customer reviews

4 advantages and disadvantages of the Chistok septic tank

The Chistok sewage treatment system, developed by the Russian company of the same name, is confidently replacing improvised structures made of concrete rings and wheel rubber from the sites. The plastic construction is different

• ease of installation. It does not require a crane or other special equipment to install it.
• minimum for such devices, weight,
• tightness,
• Durability. Plastic is chemically resistant to acids, does not collapse under the influence of weather conditions. Able to serve at least 50 years.
• And most importantly, its advantage is that the design, using unique filter elements that do not require replacement, cleans the contents of sewage by 90 percent.

The Chistok septic tank is a biological treatment system, and together with pipes forms a complete sewer system that can serve a family from one to five years without pumping. Depending on the model of the septic tank, it may consist of several hermetic tanks separated from each other by a membrane with holes and a biofilter. The system does not use chemical cleaning and disinfection agents, and therefore it is absolutely harmless to the soil and people living in this area.

How does a septic tank work?

The principle of operation of the sump is based on separation and fermentation in the absence of oxygen.

Waste water enters the first tank. It begins the fermentation of waste by bacteria that can live in an oxygen-free environment. This is where waste separation takes place. Heavy fractions sink to the bottom, and light ones accumulate on the surface, forming a film. Next, the liquid enters the biofilter.

This is a tank with holes in the bottom. This tank uses Ruff and Algae synthetic fibers as filters. Microbial colonies form a biofilm on them.

From the last tank, water goes into the ground, or into the drainage system. It can be used for watering the garden plot.

How to choose a septic tank model for a particular family: advice from the manufacturer

The septic tank "Chistok" is a monolithic plastic tank, consisting of two or more autonomous containers, and reinforced with stiffeners that protect against deformation and breakage. The ribbed surface of the sump provides adhesion to the ground and prevents it from floating.

When choosing a septic tank from the Chistok lineup, you need to know that the number next to the brand indicates the volume.The calculation of the needs of the family is made from a three-day water consumption. On average, this is 500-600 liters per person. A brief overview of the Chistok septic tanks will help you make the right choice.

Cleansing 1800 is the smallest septic tank of a spherical shape, designed for 1-3 people permanently residing in the house. Suitable, and as a country option, where they come for the weekend.

For example, Chistok-2000 is designed for a family of 3-4 people. This model is a monolithic container. It is divided inside into 2 reservoirs, between which there is a hole for liquid to flow from the first tank to the next one, as it is filled. In this case, heavy masses settle at the bottom of the first tank. Its weight is 125 kg, and special equipment is not needed for its installation in the ground, the efforts of 3 people are enough. The septic tank has two built-in filters, a fabric one and a regular one.

Characteristic qualities of the Chistok installations

The quality of the work of the treatment plant is judged both by the manufacturer's warranty obligations and by user reviews. Consider the estimates of both sides.

The manufacturer highlights the following advantages of the treatment plant:

• structural strength - containers are made of polyethylene, and thick walls are formed in a seamless way, which guarantees tightness and resistance to external influences;
• ergonomics - the device of the septic tank is made according to the principle of "compactness + maximum functionality + ease of maintenance";
• reliability - resistance to volumetric salvo emissions;
• the quality of liquid purification by a biofilter - two types of filter material ("Algae" and "Ruff"), as well as an increased volume of loading increase the efficiency of purification;
• durability - the warranty period of operation is 50 years.

Users quickly appreciated such a plus as the lack of volatility.

With the anaerobic cleaning principle, equipment that requires power supply (for example, a compressor) is not installed, therefore, the device will always work, even during power outages. An important plus is the low cost of a completely ready-to-work facility.

Installation of LOU also deserved a lot of positive feedback. Relatively light tanks that do not require long and complex preparation can be installed by yourself or with the help of professionals. Installation warranty - 3 years

The disadvantages include the need for regular pumping. The frequency depends on the rate of contamination. After each pumping, the vacated space should be filled with water.

Also considered a disadvantage is the need to install an additional treatment device - a filtration well or infiltrator, but this item applies to most types of VOCs.

Why is it worth paying attention to this particular device?

The septic tank market offers a variety of models, which makes it difficult to choose. And yet there are undisputed leaders in sales, among which are the Cleansing systems.

They attract buyers with their undeniable advantages:

• The special ribbed shape prevents the container from floating up. The one-piece construction guarantees complete tightness of the device.
• Robust hull with 14mm walls on flats and 16mm on fins.
• When using post-treatment at the outlet - water purified up to 90-95%.
• The need to pump out the sludge once a year. When using special bacteria - once every 5 years.
• The simplicity of a device that is simply physically incapable of failure. The plastic housing has a service life of at least 50 years.
• The system is non-volatile, which allows it to be used even in areas without communications.

• The absence of difficulties in installation, during which you can significantly save on earthworks. Since it will be necessary to dig a hole of a simple rectangular shape, it will not be necessary to fill the bottom of the pit with concrete and anchor the device.

The septic tank of Chistok is quite simple to install, some craftsmen even manage to install everything on their own

• High quality of a septic tank in combination with democratic cost.
• The unit, together with the filtration field, is a highly efficient wastewater treatment system that delivers practically pure water.
• Simplicity and low cost of maintenance.

SEPTIC for the house "CHISTOK".

Today, the Chistok septic tank is very popular in the Russian market. Its leading position is due to the following characteristics:

• Ideal value for money
• compactness
• High efficiency
• Easy to operate
• Low maintenance cost
• High degree (up to 96%) of wastewater treatment
• No unpleasant odor
• Durability (service life over 50 years)
• Development of domestic scientists, taking into account the peculiarities of the Russian climate.

It should be noted separately that the septic tanks of the Chistok system are one of the most economical options in their product line. Septic tank for a summer residence "Purge" is presented in 10 different options. They differ:

• volumes
• dimensions
• weight
• performance

Installation is carried out by specialists who know all the rules and regulations for the implementation of these works. Turnkey installation is carried out with the corresponding additional equipment. So, it is possible to install without an infiltrator, with 1, 2, 3 or 4 infiltrators (depending on the chosen model) and installation with a drainage well.

1. First of all, the LOU tank itself is installed, consisting of several sections (with a two- or three-chamber sump). At the same time, the last section is equipped with an after-cleaning biofilter with an inert carrier of microflora and a flat-loaded filter, which is a synthetic fabric "Algae". When installing the container, it should gradually be filled with water. Then from plastic pipes are going to supply pipeline.

2. During installation, only durable HDPE, PVC pipes of 110 diameter are used, designed for outdoor sewage. After the direct installation of the tank, a system for further purification and drainage is carried out. Depending on the conditions, this may be an underground filtration field, a drainage tunnel, a filtration trench, a drainage well, an infiltrator, etc.

3. Next, the treatment plant is connected to the sewer network, which should only be carried out in accordance with the current project, and at the same time must be followed exactly all recommendations of the manufacturer of the treatment plant. After carrying out all installation work this system is put into operation by the consumer.

The warranty period is 36 months from the date of sale, subject to the rules for the operation of the system.Periodic maintenance of the equipment is required. Namely: once every 3-4 years, pumping out the sediment from two sections, as well as washing the filter element of the post-treatment filter once every 1-1.5 years. To carry out the specified works on maintenance of the treatment plant, when inspecting the wells, a team of at least 2-3 people (one worker and two insurers) is involved, provided with means of protection against toxic gases.

The immediate service life of the LOU tank is more than 50 years. This became possible due to the properties of polyethylene, which serves as a material for the manufacture of equipment housing, resistant to corrosion and chemically active substances.

Thanks to the painstaking work of Russian scientists, the study of accumulated experience, the use of modern high-quality materials, it became possible to create such a truly unique and almost perfect equipment in all respects that will delight you for many years.

Device and principle of operation

The design of the device is not much different from analogues of other brands: these are monolithic thick-walled plastic tanks, divided into 2-3 chambers, each of which performs a specific function.

Depending on the performance, the installation may consist of one, two or even three tanks connected in series.

Appearance of the septic tank Chistok 2500. Technical characteristics of the model: tank volume - 2500 l, weight - 160 kg, productivity - 0.85 m³ / day.Designed to serve a permanent home for a family of 4-5 people

The main active "weapon" are anaerobic bacteria that develop in the complete absence of oxygen, that is, in sealed tanks.

In different quantities they are in both chambers: in the first, where primary fermentation and settling takes place, and in the second, which is a biofilter. Filtration is provided by loading from synthetic fabric "Algae" and polymeric fibers of the "Ruff" type.

Sewage flows go through several stages of processing, as a result of which they are cleaned by 90-95%. First, they enter the sump, where mechanical separation and partial fermentation of the waste takes place.

Solid elements fall to the bottom and form a sediment, fatty masses float to the surface and turn into a crust. The main part is made up of "gray" waters, which have not yet got rid of suspensions and flow into the next chamber.

Scheme of the device of the septic tank Chistok. Sealed tank divided for two cameras: sump and biofilter. For maintenance of the chambers, two technical hatches are provided, located in the upper part of the structure (+)

Inside the second chamber, the water comes under the influence of microflora, which increases the rate of fermentation. Bacteria produce the final cleaning for the septic tank, suspensions remain at the bottom and filters.

Further, the liquid enters the filtering well, trench or field for further treatment, where oxygen is present and aerobic microorganisms come into play. Thus, the operation of the Chistok septic tank is built on the same principles as the use of similar anaerobic-type installations.

If it is necessary to increase the volume of sewage settled in the septic tank water storage tanks can be modularized

Gray sewage processed in the Chistok septic tank can be discharged into the ground through post-treatment systems: absorbing wells, fields and filtration ditches

Installation of storage septic tanks can be carried out in any soil, regardless of its structure and density. They are also suitable for areas with high GWL.

If it is not possible to dispose of wastewater through post-treatment systems or streams of sulfur and fecal branches are discharged into the tank, then as the tank is filled, pumping is carried out by sewers

Model range of these systems

The choice of an autonomous septic tank depends on the tasks that it must solve.

• • Retro Fast 0.25 and 0.375 systems are designed to restore old wastewater treatment plants. They are ready to serve up to 6-8 people, and also perfectly reanimate the throughput of the soil.
  • Micro Fast equipment (model 0.5) is designed for one cottage, where 2-3 families can live.
  • Micro Fast septic tanks (models 0.75 - 4.5) process the effluents of a large house or several cottages, in which a maximum of 63 people live.

The Micro Fast 9.0 system is used for boarding houses, holiday homes, consisting of several buildings connected by a communications network.

To install treatment equipment, a small piece of land is required - no more than for septic tanks from other manufacturers

A number of models of this brand is designed to serve restaurants, shops, cafes. Such septic tanks are characterized by increased power, high efficiency, high throughput. Some fast systems serve to filter water in lakes, artificial reservoirs. There are special models for ships, yachts and other vessels.

Uponor Bio: complete biochemical treatment

This line includes three stations for complete biochemical wastewater treatment (Bio 5, Bio 10, Bio 15), differing from each other in performance, product weight and cost. Liquid household waste, passing through the Uponor Bio septic tank, can be disposed of without additional soil treatment.

Finnish bioremediation stations operate according to the following principle:

• effluents first fall by gravity into the sump (receiving chamber), where the bulk of light and heavy organic inclusions settle;
• then the effluents are sent to the technological tank, in which an aerator is installed, which activates the course of microbiological processes;
• further, a special reagent is dosed into the treated effluents, which contributes to the rapid precipitation of fine suspensions into a solid precipitate;
• dumping the liquid purified to a safe state into the ground.

Advantages of such biochemical treatment plants:

• batch processing of wastewater, allowing to achieve equally good quality of treatment;
• strength and durability of installed containers;
• availability of all accompanying documentation;
• ease of installation and subsequent operation.

The disadvantages include the energy dependence of the installations, the need to purchase special reagents, and the overpriced models.

The Uponor BioClean compact biochemical treatment plant for sewage and sewage allows you to clarify liquid waste to a safe state and dispose of it directly on the site in the ground

Also, I would like to note that the Uponor BioClean 5 local biochemical treatment plant is similar in design and principle of operation to the Uponor Bio models, but is much cheaper than them.

Finnish equipment produced for the installation of autonomous sewerage systemsworthy of the attention of consumers. Of course, it’s not worth buying ordinary sedimentation tanks three times a day. Uponor Bio and BioClean 5 models will pay off the investment by providing uninterrupted wastewater treatment and discharge into the ground without harming the site's ecology.

How is the installation carried out?

The durability and uninterrupted operation of a septic tank depends not only on its technical characteristics, but also on whether it was installed correctly.It should be noted that the installation of the Chistok septic tank can also be done independently, however, you should be aware that errors made during installation can lead to extremely unpleasant consequences - malfunctions, the appearance of an unpleasant odor, etc.

Therefore, you must either carefully prepare for installation by carefully studying the instructions and recommendations of practicing installers, or entrust the work to specialists. Installation goes like this:

• The pit is being prepared. Its dimensions are determined by the dimensions of the septic tank body.
• If the soil water is low, then concreting the pit is not required. It is enough to make a backfill from a mixture of sand and dry cement. The height of the bedding is 20 cm. The poured layer is well compacted with a rammer.

If there is a risk of rising groundwater, then it is recommended to lay a reinforced concrete slab on the bottom of the pit or to concrete the bottom by pouring a concrete screed. After installing the septic tank in place, it is anchored - fastened with bandage straps to the embedded parts of the slab

This precaution will prevent the occurrence of such an emergency as the emergence of a septic tank during the spring rise in the level of soil water.
After installing the septic tank, pipes are connected - inlet, coming from the house, and outlet, directed to the infiltrator or to the underground filtration field.
Backfilling of the pit is carried out with the same mixture of dry cement and sand. This is necessary to prevent deformation of the hull during seasonal ground movements.

Device and principle of operation

Purification equipment such as, for example, a septic tank Cleansing - storage tanks, tanks or reservoirs that are designed to accumulate and purify sewage wastewater.

Some installations have the simplest structure because they represent only one chamber that accumulates and purifies wastewater by settling with the help of bacteria.

Other models have chambers inside their hollow capacity, which allow you to gradually clean sewage by pouring purified water from one chamber to another with sludge settling in each of them.

Silt and water are decay products under the influence of anaerobic bacteria. The number of chambers depends on the volume of liquid household waste entering the septic tank. Usually septic tanks for a private house are divided into compartments. 2 to 3 cameras.

Two-chamber types of equipment include a septic tank for cleaning 2500 liters or more (capacities up to 4000-5000 liters). These units do an excellent job with the tasks assigned to them to accumulate and purify household liquid waste, reducing it in size.

Three-chamber models are usually made for a larger displacement. Such equipment can serve as: a septic tank cleaning 4000, septic tank cleaning 5000 or septic tank cleaning 6000 liters.

The principle of operation inside the Chistok septic tank is quite simple. The chambers are always connected to each other by holes with locks, which are always located in the upper part of the chambers themselves.

So wastewater can freely accumulate and be cleaned in the first chamber, decomposing into sludge and water.

Reaching the first hole, the purified water is poured into the second chamber and there it is also cleaned with the help of bacteria. Secondary purification allows you to more thoroughly free the water from the decomposition included in it.

After all, primary sewage treatment is carried out only by 60 or 70 percent. This is the basic principle of operation of the Chistok septic tanks.

If we consider in more detail its structure and operation, then the following can be noted. The sewage enters the inlet pipe of the first chamber through a special tee, which is designed to slightly slow down the rate of fall of liquids.

In the first chamber, all effluents are exposed to anaerobic (airless) bacteria and fermented, separating into silt, which settles on the bottom of the first chamber, and water, which accumulates, rises up to the hole that goes into the second chamber.

In the second chamber there is a secondary purification of the so-called "gray water" received from the first chamber. Here, water is purified from colloidal particles and the small heavy elements included in it are settled.

After the purified water reaches the second hole leading to the biofilter, it enters there in order to be finally purified.

It should be noted that the opening in the second chamber, which receives the effluents from the first, is located below the inlet from the first chamber.

This is necessary so that the purified water does not return back to the first chamber, and there is no premature overflow of the first chamber.

The biofilter is a special container, at the bottom of which there are holes covered with a synthetic fabric "Algae" attached from the inside of the container, which filters the liquid coming from the second chamber.

However, even when loading the biofilter, synthetic fibrous fabrics "Ruff" are used, on the surface of which a biofilm of microorganisms is formed, which not only purify the water for the last time, but also saturate it with bioflora.

After that, the water seeps through the synthetic fabric "Algae" into the soil or into the drainage system with perforated or conventional sewers - it all depends on the design model of the septic tank.

After aerobic microorganisms finally work on the purified water from the septic tank, such water can be used for technical and agricultural needs, for example, for accumulation in tanks for watering the garden.

Features of gas connections

When connecting gas stoves, columns and other types of equipment, flexible connections are also used. Unlike models for water, they are yellow and are not tested for environmental safety. For fixing, end steel or aluminum fittings are used. There are the following types of devices for connecting gas appliances:

• PVC hoses reinforced with polyester thread;
• synthetic rubber with stainless steel braid;
• bellows, made in the form of a corrugated stainless steel tube.
