Septic tank "Triton": an overview of the model range, installation features and consumer reviews

Installation

Since the Tank and Triton septic tanks are manufactured by the same company, their installation is very similar. The manufacturer recommends not anchoring the small vertical models Mini and Microb, but placing them on a bed of sand with a layer of 10 cm. Larger containers of the T brand should be placed on a filled (installed) reinforced concrete slab. The procedure for installing small septic tanks is as follows:

• We dig a pit in size 30-35 cm larger than the dimensions of the container. In depth, it should be 10 cm deeper. When determining the depth, keep in mind that the lid should be on the surface.
• We dig trenches for sewer pipes - inlet from the house and outlet - to the post-treatment device.If you use plastic pipes with a diameter of 100 mm, they must go with a slope of at least 2 cm.
• The bottom of the pit is leveled, compacted (by tamping to a high density). Sand is poured onto the compacted soil with a layer of 5 cm, leveled and spilled. Then, in the same way - the second layer. It is leveled.
• They install a septic tank, check whether it has become even, laying a level on the neck. It is necessary to check in all planes.
• Connect pipes.
• Pour water into the container. When its level reaches 20-25 cm, we begin backfilling.
• They begin to fill the distance between the walls of the pit and the tank with a mixture of sand and cement. For 1 part of cement, 5 parts of sand are taken. The gap is covered with this mixture in layers of 20-30 cm. Lay the mixture around the circumference (along the perimeter), carefully tamping. It is forbidden to use equipment for tamping - only manual tamping. The entire gap is filled in layers. When working, make sure that the water level in the septic tank is 25-30 cm above the backfill level.
• Having reached a horizontal surface, a heater is laid on the body. Usually it is polystyrene foam. A high density is needed - it should not crumple under the mass of earth that will be laid on top. The thickness depends on the region; for Central Russia, 5 cm is enough.
• Geotextiles can be laid on top. It will not allow the roots to grow into the insulation and destroy it.
• Then everything is covered with "native" soil.

Features of mounting large containers

This is the whole process of installing a small septic tank - Mini and Microbe. If we are talking about the installation of Tver-T or Tver-N, a reinforced concrete slab is installed / poured at the bottom of the pit after a layer of sand (do not forget to adjust the depth of the pit).There must be loops on the plate, to which a tape-type cable is tied (ordinary ones do not fit - they cannot withstand the load). These cables are used to tie the septic tank to the slab - they anchor it. This is a way to protect against the emergence of an empty septic tank when the groundwater level is high.

Such containers are best placed on a concrete slab.

After that, the backfill starts.

In general, special attention should be paid to the backfill - there should be no foreign inclusions in the sand. Whether your septic tank will stand or be crushed depends on the quality of the backfill.

Most of the destroyed septic tanks were installed with violations. And the main thing - large pieces of foreign rock in the backfill.

Sand-cement backfill, under the influence of moisture from the soil, turns into a sarcophagus, which keeps the container from floating and protects its walls from rock pressure. If there are gaps in this protection, water seeps in, erodes the protection and sooner or later destroys the container.

Performance of treatment facilities

For trouble-free operation of the septic tank and prevention of overcrowding of tanks, it is important to choose the right model performance. This parameter, in turn, is related to the volume of cameras and their number. It has already been indicated above that the average daily volume of fluid intake is about 200 liters per person.

The septic tank, according to accepted norms and rules, must contain the amount of drains for three days, so this figure should be tripled and multiplied by the number of residents. The result obtained will be the required performance of the utilizer, but experts do not recommend choosing “at a minimum”, you should make a small margin - 10-15% of the calculated volume, which is a kind of insurance and a way to reduce the risk of overfilling tanks

Having decided on the volume of the product, you can solve the issue of the number of cameras.

• Single-chamber models are suitable for a minimum amount of wastewater (average daily volume is less than a cubic meter).
• If the daily volume of effluents is no more than ten cubic meters, a two-chamber septic tank will be the best option.
• Three-chamber models will ensure trouble-free waste disposal, even if a family of 4 lives permanently in the house, they are designed to process wastewater in a volume of more than 10 cubic meters per day.

How to install a septic tank "Tank"

The manufacturer of treatment facilities, the Triton Plastic company, recommends that after the purchase of treatment facilities, special attention be paid to their correct installation, then the efficiency of the septic tank will please the owners for a long time. We pay special attention to the installation site of the treatment plant, its appearance after transportation (presence of dents, damage)

It is necessary for the owner to choose a place for the installation of treatment structures where there are no groundwater on the site or are deep enough.The septic tank can be installed independently, but it is recommended to call the installers involved in this work professionally

We pay special attention to the installation site of the treatment plant, its appearance after transportation (presence of dents, damage). It is necessary for the owner to choose a place for the installation of treatment structures where there are no groundwater on the site or are deep enough

The septic tank can be installed independently, but it is recommended to call installers who do this work professionally.

Installation procedure:

• To dig a pit, we attract (hire) an excavator, the rest of the work is done manually.
• It is necessary to leave a distance for backfilling between the wall of the pit and the septic tank, at least 25-30 centimeters.
• The bottom of the pit is necessarily sprinkled with a layer of sand, a “cushion” is made, under a structure 50 millimeters high.
• To backfill a septic tank, a mixture of sand and cement is used, the ratio of parts is 1: 5, be sure to tamp the backfill, check access to the water structure, it is necessary.

Important! The sewage treatment plant should be filled faster, and the water level should be 200 millimeters higher than the backfill. Use the manufacturer's instructions for installing a septic tank when installation work is carried out independently

Purpose and scope of caissons Triton

Plastic caisson protects the casing from freezing and pollution

Dense polymer chambers are used for the competent location of pumping equipment and drainage pipes below the freezing level of the soil. In addition, such an arrangement of a hydraulic structure reduces noise level at area from a working blowing unit.

The main areas of application of the caisson:

• arrangement of the upper part of the source and its protection from sub-zero temperatures, groundwater exposure;
• carrying out deep works (the initial purpose of the polymer chamber);
• the creation of a special tank for storing inventory in the area where the construction has not yet been completed (here it will be necessary to additionally equip the hatch of the caisson with a lock);
• installation of a sewer septic tank.

Cleaning in chambers

The mini Triton septic tank works similarly to other LOS models (local treatment plant). The procedure for cleaning it is as follows:

• Drains from the house enter the first chamber, where they settle. As a result, solid particles precipitate. Insolubles float up.
• Upon reaching a certain level for overflow (moreover, it must be in the first chamber, the drains must be at least 3 days), the clarified liquid passes through the biofilter. Its main component is floating bioparticles. Due to the specific design of such a filter, additional mechanical cleaning also occurs.
• Septic tank Triton mini - functions with anaerobic bacteria, that is, those that can live without oxygen.
• Transition to inflator. At the outlet of the installation, the wastewater is still dirty - the degree of their purification is only 65%. Already in the infiltrator, they are cleaned up to 98%, which makes it possible to dump them into the soil.

Septic tank Triton and infiltrator

Septic tank Triton Mini

(Currently out of production. Its alternative is the Microbe septic tank)

Septic tank Triton Mini

Horizontal and vertical models are produced:

• vertical (Micro) 450 - 900 l.
• horizontal (Standard) 1200 and 1800 l.

Its use is similar to that of the Triton Micro septic tank. It is also intended for small private houses or cottages. When following the operating rules, the device requires cleaning once a year.Installation of the product is not complicated and can be done independently.

The main conditions that should be observed are the distance of the septic tank and the infiltrator from some objects:

Advantages and disadvantages of a Triton septic tank

Among the shortcomings of the Triton septic tank, there is a slow settling of effluents with a large volume of drain. That is, in private homes where more than five people live permanently, such wastewater treatment systems are not very convenient.

There are many more advantages:

1. - the material of the septic tank allows it to be used all year round without fear of freezing;
2. – Triron septic tanks are financially profitable;
3. - easy to operate and non-volatile;
4. - due to the low weight during installation, lifting mechanisms are not required and do-it-yourself installation is possible;
5. - Triton septic tanks are reliable and durable even with long interruptions in operation;
6. - the septic tank is cleaned extremely rarely (from one to three times a year), using a fecal pump or resorting to the services of a sewage truck;
7. - septic tanks are produced in various sizes, including those for individual orders.
8. - in addition to the direct purpose of Triton septic tanks can be used to store liquids.

Model range of septic tanks "Triton"

Septic tanks "Triton" differ in shape, size and design features. The most famous of the model range are septic tanks Triton-mini, Triton-micro, Triton-ED, Triton-T and Triton-N. Let's take a closer look at each model:

• Triton-mini with a volume of 750 l and a wall thickness of 8 mm is designed for sewer service for one or two users. The septic tank can withstand low temperatures and does not cause difficulties in use. Suitable for simultaneous use of a sink, shower and toilet.
• Triton-micro is able to purify up to 150 liters of water per day.Suitable for serving 1-2 people or occasional residence of a family of 2-3 people. Ideal for a bath or guest house, as well as for a country toilet.
• Triton-ED consists of two sections for aerobic decomposition of organic matter. Its volume is from 1800 to 3500 liters. Purifies up to 1200 liters of water per day. A low level of cleaning (no more than 60%) requires the installation of an additional infiltrator. Triton-ED can serve a country house with permanent residence of 3-4 people.
• Triton-T has several modifications depending on the number of consumers. The septic tank consists of three sections, which sequentially purify wastewater from large and small impurities. Installing this model also requires an additional aeration field (soil seeded with aerobic bacteria) or an infiltrator.
• Triton-N does not imply the release of purified water into the soil. It remains in the tanks and is pumped out by a sewage truck. Tanks with a thickness of 14 to 40 mm can accumulate from 1000 to 40000 liters. water. This volume of the tank is suitable for permanent residence of up to 20 or more people in a country house. Most often it is purchased for installation in areas with a small area or with a high level of groundwater.

The following table most clearly reflects the difference between Triton septic tank models:

Triton-ED, Triton-T, Triton-N.

The cost of installing a septic tank also depends on its volume. It can range from 20,000 to 150,000 rubles.If you want to save this amount, all the work can be done by hand. Ease of installation distinguishes the Triton septic tank from other treatment facilities.

The cost of the infiltrator, which is better to purchase at the same time as the storage tank, is from 3500 to 4000 rubles with a volume of 400 liters.

If you plan to create an aeration field instead of an infiltrator, you will need to purchase the necessary aerobic bacteria.

Expert advice on choosing septic tanks

The choice of a septic tank suitable for the site always remains with its owner, experts advise comparing some parameters of well-known brands of treatment facilities:

• We compare Unilos and Topas, since they work on almost the same principle. The Unilos septic tank is made of higher quality material, as if it is a continuation of the design solutions of the Topas septic tank. Unilos facilities are more suitable for the climatic zones of Russia.
• Construction "Tank" in terms of cleaning quality is better than "Unilos", stronger.
• The Unilos septic tank works better than the Tver facility, it needs less maintenance than the Tver. The rest of the parameters are similar.
• When comparing Topas and Tank, indicators such as the discharge of treated effluents are taken. At the Tank structure, this is done only into the ground, and the Topas septic tank can discharge treated effluents into a drainage ditch.

Which septic tank to choose is up to the owner of the site, and here we tried our best to show their advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages and disadvantages

Numerous reviews help to form both positive and negative qualities of the septic tank in question. Among the positive qualities:

• Affordable kit price. Often, sellers offer VOC immediately with an infiltrator.
• Duration of operation - from 50 years.
• Ease of installation, use, maintenance.
• It is necessary to clean the Triton mini septic tank no more than once a year.
• The installation is autonomous and non-volatile, which means it can be easily used for summer cottages.
• Under observance of conditions of installation does not exude smells.
• It can function even at negative temperatures, up to -30⁰.
• The cleaning is effective, the effluents after the infiltrator can be discharged directly into the soil.
• Resistant to aggressive chemicals that sometimes end up in the sewer.
• Excellent tightness, does not suffer from corrosion.

Flaws:

• It will not be possible to install such a septic tank in a too limited area, since it is necessary to comply with the SNiP standards and at the same time correctly position the septic tank itself and the filtration fields.
• The infiltrator needs to be cleaned periodically, and the sand and gravel pad needs to be changed.
• You should not dump more than 250 liters per day, although the manufacturer says about 400 liters.

Triton-Micro

Triton Micro has small dimensions and looks like a cylinder with a height of 1500 mm and a diameter of 760 mm.

You can install such a device anywhere in your area.

To carry out the highest level of water purification, an infiltrator must be installed in the septic tank, which re-cleans the already treated water and lowers it into the ground.

For the manufacture of the tank body of the Triton-Micro apparatus, multilayer polyethylene is used, which allows protecting the septic tank from corrosion, as well as increasing its service life even at low temperatures.

This station must be pumped out annually with proper use and the absence of overloads. To increase the pumping time, it is necessary to use microorganisms that break down hard elements.

Of the advantages, it is necessary to note the independence of the device from electricity. This septic tank is now considered the most affordable means of cleaning and is acceptable to a buyer with any income.

Operation of the septic tank Triton mini

As the manufacturer advises, the septic tank should be cleaned at least once a year. However, with intermittent use of the sewer system, cleaning will be needed only after one and a half to two years. At the same time, using various biological products with anaerobic bacteria (cleaning wastewater in an airless environment), the cleaning period can be delayed for an even longer period.

After each cleaning, the Triton mini septic tank should be filled to the top with water and backfilled with a biological product.

For cleaning, you can use both a drainage / fecal pump, and resort to the services of a sewage machine.

Septic tank cleaning

Conclusion from the foregoing: septic tanks of the Triton mini model (Tank mini) are the best solution for arranging life in summer cottages, small country houses, bathhouses, during ongoing construction. A small-sized treatment plant can be installed in 1-2 days by any consumer, while the cost of the infiltrator and the septic tank itself will not punch holes in the family budget.

Advantages and disadvantages

The Triton septic tank of various models has the only drawback, which is that wastewater treatment is not fast enough with a large volume of effluents. The equipment scheme is designed for a certain volume, and when it is exceeded, sewer water settles much more slowly.

The advantages of Triton septic tanks are in such features as:

• Affordable price.
• Easy installation.
• Due to the use of plastic, it is light in weight.
• Various capacities of septic tanks.
• Variety of models.
• Efficient cleaning.
• A simple circuit that does not require complex maintenance.
• Made from durable, corrosion-resistant plastic.
• Triton septic tanks are considered the best, according to customer reviews.
• Installation can be done independently.
• The Triton septic tank can be used both for cottages and for cottages.
• The manufacturer offers a wide range of septic tanks.

Triton Plastic has been specializing in the production of septic tanks for a long time. Triton septic tanks are in great demand, especially Triton MINI, which is well suited for summer cottages.

Principle of operation, device

A new generation Astra septic tank is not even quite a septic tank, but a wastewater treatment plant that makes life outside the city convenient. It is this device that helps the sewer system cope with its main task: to collect and dispose of wastewater.

The Astra Unilos instruction manual will tell you which components and after what time you need to replace. In order to carry out these works in a timely manner, it is necessary to understand what the septic tank consists of, its main working units.

The scheme of operation of the septic tank Unilos Astra

In general terms, any Astra autonomous sewage system is a case made of strong plastic. It can have a different volume, which, accordingly, will allow the installation to serve from 3 to 150 people. It is easy to find out for how many people permanently living in the house (using sewerage) this or that model is designed. For example, Astra 5 septic tank is 5 people, Unilos Astra 10 is 10 people.

The unit has a lid, on which a “fungus” enters air through it, which is necessary for the vital activity of bacteria. The container, regardless of size, is divided into 4 compartments. In order for the chambers not to deform under the weight of the soil, especially in the autumn-winter period, there are stiffening ribs

This is especially important for large septic tanks, such as Unilos Astra 10. The design consists of 4 main chambers:

• The receiving chamber, here are located: a recirculator pump, a filter for separating large fractions and a standard pump with a plug.
• Aerotank.This compartment contains the main pump, circulator pump and grease trap.
• Secondary clarifier.
• Sludge stabilizer.

Above all the partitions there is a control unit - this is the instrument compartment, which is responsible for the automatic functioning of the septic tank.

The principle of operation of the Astra 5 septic tank

Operating principle

It is important for anyone who decides to use such an installation to create a sewer system in their home to understand how a septic tank works. The wastewater treatment process consists of the following steps:

• Drains from the house fall into the first compartment. The first filtration occurs through a coarse filter. This is where the primary settling takes place.
• Further, they move to the second compartment, where aerobic bacteria come into play, which turn organic particles into activated sludge.
• When moving to the third compartment, the sludge settles, and a second settling occurs. Old sludge will precipitate, and the new one, due to the fact that it floats on the surface, will return to the second compartment for re-cleaning.
• From the third compartment, the drains, already sufficiently clean, enter the fourth chamber, where the final post-treatment takes place. Now the drains are 98% clean and quite safe enough to be used for technical needs.

For the operation of the Unilos deep biological treatment plant, electricity is needed, because it is it that starts the pumps, which, in turn, provide the bacteria with oxygen, without which they could not exist.

Such important bacteria

The principle of operation of the Astra septic tank is closely related to the process of vital activity of bacteria. They recycle waste. You do not need to buy them separately, often, they arise during the operation of the installation.In order for them to originate, it takes from 2 to 4 weeks, but only on condition that the sewer uses the necessary, according to its technical capabilities, the number of users. That is, in order for the Unilos Astra 5 septic tank to work normally, at least 4-5 people must constantly dump waste.

But if the number of users is not enough for the natural generation of aerobes, this process can be started artificially. To do this, buy them in packaged form. The bottle should be marked "start". They should be diluted in water and flushed down the toilet, so they will immediately get to their habitat. In the future, you will no longer have to renew the supply of bacteria.
