Septic tank "Uponor": device, advantages and disadvantages, overview of the model range

Uponor Bio: complete biochemical treatment

This line includes three stations for complete biochemical wastewater treatment (Bio 5, Bio 10, Bio 15), which differ 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 sewage systems, is worthy 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.

Advantages and disadvantages of Uponor systems

At first glance, the Sako lineup does not differ from more affordable Russian-made counterparts, but this is not so. It is impossible to find a septic system in the form of Uponor.

The spherical shape makes the container more resistant to water and soil pressure. In combination with high-quality plastic, an increase in the service life of the product is achieved. The disadvantages include the high cost of the product. In addition, some models need to be insulated.

The range of Uponor septic tanks of the Bio series has its own advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include high-quality cleaning. Far from every system, the percentage of purification is 98%.

The indisputable advantage of the system is the control and sensors that transmit signals about the state of the system. The disadvantage is the need for electricity. The installation can be powered from home by pulling out the cable, or install a solar panel with a battery.

Another disadvantage is the cost of maintaining Bio systems. They need special chemicals to enhance wastewater treatment.

The very device of the models eliminates the need to dig out the container, since all the technical mechanisms are located in such a way that, if necessary, they can be easily replaced. In addition, the disadvantages include the warranty period for the control module. It is only two years old.

Device and principle of operation

The problem of autonomous heating and water supply was solved by summer residents long before they became interested in the possibility of arranging a local sewerage system on their site.

With the solution of the last problem, the appearance of septic tanks on sale is connected. These devices allow you to clean domestic wastewater and are a key element of local sewage. Rostok is one of the most popular septic tank models.

Like most similar devices, the Rostock is quite simple. In fact, this is a single tank, divided into two chambers. One of the chambers is equipped with special filters. To better understand the device of this septic tank, we will understand the principle of its operation.

Initially, all drains through the sewer pipes enter the first chamber. It happens by itself. The inlet pipe through which the effluent enters the septic tank is equipped with an extinguisher. It does not allow the sediment accumulated at the bottom of the chamber to shake up.

The first chamber is a sump. In it, all stocks are divided into fractions. Heavy fractions settle to the bottom of the chamber: they will subsequently be pumped out. Light fractions together with liquid effluents rise up. Effluent devoid of heavy fractions is considered clarified.

So, clarified drains, moving from bottom to top, enter the next chamber. It, as we have already mentioned, is equipped with filters. A mesh filter is used to hold large contaminants. The second filter is sorption. It is made of a special material - zeolite, the thickness of which reaches 20 cm.

The Rostock septic tank is arranged simply, but very well thought out: everything is done in it so that the device can be successfully operated and maintained for a long time and is easy to maintain

When drains pass both filters, they are cleaned by 70-80%. Now they can be taken out of the septic tank for post-treatment. This procedure is performed using multi-layer soil backfill or special biofilters.

The following article will introduce the general principles of the device and operation of septic tanks. The video located in the final block of our article will help you visualize the work of the summer septic tank "Rostok".

Installation of Uponor VehoPuts

The main feature of the installation of this equipment should be a professional sewerage project and professional hands. Only in this combination is it possible to realize the really best ideas of Finnish engineers to preserve the environment and maintain comfortable living in the absence of the benefits of civilization. Every professional installer should have a set of tools for the correct measurement of the site. This is a drill for research work, and a level for measuring slopes, and a large geodetic tape measure for all kinds of measurements. Only after the specialist puts all the dimensions on paper, and the engineer prepares the correct technical project, can we begin to implement our plans. A big plus of any team will be the experience gained in the installation of such installations. The level of equipment imposes increased requirements on the level of training of installers.

And finally, we have finished this small but capacious review of the best and most modern installation for cleaning the sewerage of a private house, Uponor WehoPuts. We hope that when choosing your best septic tank for your dacha or cottage, you will be equal to the market leaders and think about the environment and the health of your loved ones.

Advantages of Uponor septic tanks

Before spending money on the purchase of such equipment, it is worth conducting a comprehensive analysis of the septic tank. Consider all his strengths. Only in this case it is possible to decide whether it is worth the price that the manufacturer claims.

Among the advantages of the Uponor septic tank are the following:

• Uponor Sako models are non-volatile, which means you don't have to spend money on electricity bills;
• overflow of wastewater by gravity ensures the full settling of any precipitation - this approach protects the filtration fields from clogging;
• the Bio series performs cleaning in batches, thereby increasing the quality of liquid filtration;
• Uponor Bio does not require a large installation area;
• there are no moving parts inside the septic tanks, so even with mechanical action, the risk of damaging anything is minimal.
• Sakko septic tanks clean wastewater by 85-90% of pollution, Bio septic tanks - by 92-97%.

Having familiarized yourself with all the advantages of Uponor septic tanks, you can decide for yourself not only the rationality of such a purchase, but also decide which model is more suitable in a particular case - Sacco or Bio.

Guidelines for choosing the right modification

The choice of treatment plant depends on its volume and performance. So that users do not waste time on calculations, the manufacturer analyzed important factors - the number of permanent residents and the availability of sewage discharge points - and compiled a convenient table.

Using the table, by the number of people and the number of plumbing units connected to the sewer, you can easily select the desired model. According to the schematic representation of the modifications, it is easy to determine the design features (for example, the number of tanks) and the volume of tanks (it is included in the names of the models) (+)

How is the choice made? Suppose a family of 4 lives in a country cottage. The house has two bathrooms, a kitchen and two toilets. Guests visit only on weekends. Manufacturer's recommendation - Chistok-3000.However, if a mother-in-law comes to visit for six months or there are 2 children in the family - newborn twin babies, it is better to install Chistok-4000.

The increased volume is also additional protection against volley discharge, and increased time intervals between visits to the sewers.

There are rules and recommendations according to which you can choose a septic tank without performing super complicated calculations:

If the volume of wastewater transported through an autonomous sewer network does not exceed 1 m³ / day, it is sufficient to install a single-chamber septic tank

A two-chamber septic tank is purchased if the volume of wastewater sent to it varies from 5 m³ / day to 8 m³ / day

To service mini-hotels, large private mansions, roadside cafes and restaurants, a larger septic tank is needed. This problem is solved by connecting several modules with a sewer pipe

Purified and clarified water in a septic tank can be discharged into the ground if the drains are taken to an absorbing well or filtration field

Pros and cons of septic tanks

The undeniable advantages of septic tanks include:

• low cost of equipment (from 12 thousand rubles) with normal performance;
• small dimensions, allowing the use of devices in suburban areas with a small area, as well as ease of transportation of equipment;
• ease of installation and maintenance;
• reliability of the device case. With proper installation and operation, damage to the housing is excluded;
• energy independence.For the operation of a septic tank, electricity is not required, since the main sewage treatment occurs due to the work of anaerobic bacteria.

Negative feedback about microbe septic tanks, in most cases, is associated with the impossibility of operating the equipment in the winter, since the normal operation of the septic tank is ensured only at a temperature of at least -30ºС.

Microb septic tanks are a novelty in the field of wastewater treatment, as they can work without electricity. Ease of installation and ease of maintenance attract a large number of consumers with small country houses. With a small size, the devices do an excellent job of purifying water with permanent residence in the house of 1 - 3 people and peak loads during the arrival of guests. A septic tank Microbe can also be the best solution for a bath sewer.

The best choice for a summer residence

SANI-S septic tanks are simple devices that are suitable for servicing small buildings: summer cottages, cottages, country houses. They are designed to serve less than 15 people.

The buyer is offered a choice of five models of different sizes:

S-1 1.35 cu. m for 1-3 people;
S-2 2.25 cu. m for 4-5 people;
S-3 3.6 cu. m for 6-8 people;
S-4 4.8 cu. m for 9-11 people;
S-5 6.75cc m for 12-15; people.

The three-section treatment plant is equipped with a built-in drainage section. Its operation does not require power supply, which is an attractive quality for owners of cottages and seasonal residences. Made of durable plastic, it is lightweight and easy to transport.

The SANI-S septic tank is designed simply and reliably.It does not take up much space, the presence of built-in drainage greatly simplifies installation work

The first chamber is designed for settling the collected household waste. Simultaneously with the precipitation of a solid insoluble sediment to the bottom, a light organic suspension is processed by anaerobic bacteria.

In the second section, the upholding continues. Then the treated wastewater enters the drainage compartment, after which it moves through the filtration field into the ground.

The trench for the sewer pipe leading to and from the treatment plant should have a slight slope and lie below the freezing level of the ground

To mount the device, it is necessary to dig a pit, pour a layer of sand and gravel, which will become an additional filter when draining atmospheric precipitation falling nearby into the ground. The trench for the sewer pipe should have a slope of about 20 mm per meter.

How to make a choice?

It all depends on the type of building, the number and regularity of residents, the number of sanitary and household appliances that provide wastewater. Plus, you need to consider financial opportunities.

It is not recommended to save on local sewer facilities by simply purchasing cheaper and / or low-performance models. This approach may one day leave the homeowner with the need to upgrade an existing septic tank. Or you will have to control the amount of household drains. But a complete and accurate calculation will optimize the cost of building a local sewer.

So, septic tank Finnish Uponor Sako suitable for giving, where the owners come from time to time. There are models where the volume of the tank is only 500 liters.

For private and country houses with a large number of residents and significant "water" household needs, septic tanks of the GreenRock line are recommended.

Finnish septic tanks for a country house are a solution that, if properly implemented, will ensure the convenience of living and ease of maintenance of a local sewage system for a long time.

Purpose and types of equipment "Bioxi"

In an aeration tank (septic tank), wastewater is enriched with oxygen from the air, as a result of which aerobic bacteria oxidize water pollution, making the water clean and suitable for irrigation or car washing. During cleaning, along with dirt and waste, an unpleasant odor disappears.

The process of aerobic "filtration" is similar to the purification of water in a river, where oxygen actively affects the liquid, and impurities fall out in the form of silt. The rate of purification of polluted waters, which guarantees a bioxi septic tank, is quite high - about 98%.

The Bioxi septic tank is shaped like an ordinary refrigerator and is compact in size.

A big advantage of Bioxi systems is the ability to choose models depending on their location underground, as well as on the conditions of service for a certain number of people.

One of the indicators is the depth of the pipes. Depending on it, Bioksi treatment facilities are divided into 3 types:

• "Bioxi": the depth of the pipeline - up to 90 cm;
• "Bioxi Long": 90 - 140 cm;
• "Bioxi Super Long": over 140 cm.

Also, the choice of autonomous sewage depends on the number of people living in the house. For example, for a family of 3 people, the “Bioxi-0.6” model is sufficient, for a family of 5, “Bioxi-1”. If a company of 20 people often gathers in the house, the best option is Bioxi - 4.To service cottage villages, models are provided that can serve up to several dozen people. For example, the Bioksi-15 septic tank is designed for 75 people, and the Bioksi-20 septic tank is designed for 100 people.

Septic Leader

Many owners of country houses have to select various devices and devices to create comfort. Among such equipment there are also septic tanks. With their help, sewage is cleaned in an autonomous sewer system.

There are many types of septic tanks on the market today. And sometimes it is very difficult to make the right choice, especially without knowing the characteristics of such devices. In this article we will tell you how the Leader septic tank works.

Its characteristics will be given, the pros and cons will be considered.

What is

The Leader brand septic tank is made in the form of a single body made of durable polymer. Inside it there are several compartments and additional devices, with the help of which domestic sewage is cleaned.

How the device works:

• The first chamber, which in volume is a quarter of the entire septic tank, serves to receive wastewater. This is where solid particles settle to the bottom. Light fractions float to the surface and form a film. After such separation, the effluents enter the next chamber.
• The second section plays the role of a "bioreactor". This is where anaerobic microorganisms come into play. Bacteria, without access to air, decompose biological residues into simple substances.
• The third section serves as the first aerotank. At its bottom there is a pipe through which air is supplied.As a result, wastewater is saturated with oxygen and "willingly" absorbed by aerobic microorganisms.
• After partial purification by aerobic bacteria in the third chamber, the effluents pass into the secondary sump (the fourth compartment of the septic tank). This is where the additional settling takes place. Heavy particles, settling to the bottom, form silt, which, with the help of an airlift, moves to the first section.
• The filtered drains from the fourth section of the septic tank flow into the secondary aerotank. Here are more numerous colonies of microorganisms. To improve their vital activity, due to the operation of the compressor, a large amount of air enters the section. As a result of the work of bacteria, drains are finally cleared of all organic residues.
• The last chamber, which serves as the final sump. Here, the remains of solid particles, settling to the bottom, are pumped into the first chamber.

Pros and cons of a septic tank Leader

Septic Leader is perfect for autonomous sewerage systems of country houses. The advantages of the device explain its popularity. The advantages of the system include:

Overview of the range

The lineup

Septic Leader is available in several versions. Each model is designed for a certain number of residents. Depending on the power, the cost of the product also differs. Here is an overview of the models that are on the market:

• "Leader 0.4" is the most budget version of the device. It is designed to service sewers, which are constantly used by 2-4 people. The septic tank handles 400 liters of sewage per day. The cost of such a device is close to 75 thousand rubles.
• If three to six people permanently live in the house, then it is better to purchase the Leader 0.6 device, you can buy it for 85 thousand rubles.Such a septic tank will cope with 600 liters of wastewater per day.
• "Leader 1", the cost of which is about 110 thousand rubles, is able to cope with 1000 liters per day. This capacity is enough to serve a house with 5-10 tenants.

Varieties of septic tanks Leader

More powerful products are also available. So, to serve several houses or a small hotel at once, septic tanks "Leader 1.5" and "Leader 2" are used.

Such devices will cope with drains from 12 to 20 people at once. As productivity increases, so does the cost.

"Leader 1.5" can be bought for about 120 thousand rubles, and for "Leader 2" you will have to pay almost 140 thousand rubles.

Thanks to a large assortment of models, it is easy to choose the right septic tank from this manufacturer. But do not save money, it is better to purchase a device with a performance margin. This will allow you not to worry about the efficiency of its work, even if numerous relatives come to you and the number of drains increases.

Septic tank maintenance

Maintenance work of the station requires the following activities:

1. Aeration fields are transferred after 5 years of operation.

2. Taking into account the frequency of use of sewerage, the maximum duration of the aeration field is 15 years.

3. Silt sediment is removed from the bottom once a year. With additional biologics devices, the service life can be extended by several years and the presence of odor can be reduced.

4. When choosing one of the Uponor models, it is worth considering that a two-chamber installation can accommodate no more than 0.5 cubic meters. m of liquid per day. The Uponor Sako septic tank is designed for a daily volume of more than 1.5 cubic meters. l.

Septic tank Eco-Grand-budget variant of cleaning systems

Septic Eco-Grand - one of the most budget options for cleaning systems that are used in country houses, cottages and summer cottages. Installation helps to clear economic and household drains. Its assembly is carried out according to German technology.

The device provides a high level of sewage water treatment. You can independently clean the septic tank from silt and waste. The installation does not contain any parts made of metal, which provides the device with additional protection and eliminates corrosion.

The principle of operation of the Eco-Grand septic tank

The plant is made of polypropylene and has four production departments. Staged cleaning and pumping of water is provided by four airlifts. Aerators, which are installed in two chambers, receive air in the device thanks to compressors located in the instrument section. No additional liquid will enter the unit, as the septic tank cover is waterproof and has a unique air deflector.

The plant uses biological sewage treatment, as well as oxygen low-pressure aeration. The unique features of the operation of the Grand septic tank: the presence of an auxiliary filter in the second chamber of the device, the absence of mechanical clamp connections and additional forced control of the exit of sewage effluents.

1. Wastewater flows through pipes from the house to the first receiving chamber of the installation. In it, the fractions are divided into large and small parts: small ones sink to the bottom, and large ones fall into further processing.
2. In the aerotank, biological cleaning of sewage water from bacteria, dirt and harmful microorganisms is carried out. Water enters the aerotank through the airlift.
3. Purified water enters the secondary sedimentation tank, where the sludge settles.
4. Wastewater enters the outflow line.
5. The airlift helps the device to pump all the sludge. Sewage water is completely purified and discharged from the station with the help of special pipes.

Installation of a septic tank Eco-Grand

You can install the station yourself or seek professional help. Independent installation of the installation will require 8-10 hours.

• Dig a pit.
• Prepare a sandy base for the station.
• Bring a plastic pipe, the length of which is 110 cm.
• Drive the pipe into the installation.
• Connect the station to electricity.
• Make a complete installation of sewage disposal.

4 TANK-1

Excellent price/performance ratio
Country Russia
Average price: 19,500 rubles.
Rating (2018): 4.6

Tank-1 is the youngest model in the line of non-volatile septic tanks Triton Plastic. Its design is simplified to the limit: there are only two chambers: coarse primary treatment and secondary biological treatment. But, nevertheless, this small septic tank, capable of clean up to 600 liters drains per day, has all the advantages inherent in more expensive models of the company: it has a horizontal layout and a durable one-piece cast body with special stiffeners, which increases the service life and excludes the penetration of groundwater into the internal volume of the structure.

This compact model is ideal for installation in the country and is designed for use by two or three people. The level of wastewater treatment for this septic tank is 75 - 80%, therefore, it is recommended to use a special infiltrator in which additional treatment takes place with it. Buyers note the compact dimensions of the septic tank, easy installation and trouble-free operation.However, you still have to clean the chambers from sediment once every few years.

Complete set of septic tanks Uponor Sako

These are non-volatile devices, which allows you to save on electricity consumption. Uponor Sako septic tanks are equipped as standard with one or more tanks connected to the system via overflow pipes.

The last elements are easily disconnected, which makes it possible to replace them in case of any damage. The case of Uponor Sako septic tanks is made of frost-resistant plastic, so the system can be installed even in winter. The necks of the tanks are removable, so the transportation of the system becomes much more convenient.

The package also includes a distribution well, which contributes to the uniform distribution of wastewater. The design of the filtration field consists of perforated pipes (1-6), which are mounted in a bed of gravel and sand.

Thus, drainage is created, which allows another cleaning step to be carried out. The well allows you to evenly distribute the flow of drainage water and control their quality of cleaning. It has a flow regulator that controls the force of pressure. The Uponor Sako septic kit also includes end caps, manhole top covers and filter material.

Wastewater treatment in Uponor Sako septic tanks is carried out in several stages:

• the waste mass enters the sewer pipe, which is connected to the septic tank - in the first tank, the process of settling large fractions is in progress;
• then the liquid with small inclusions flows into the second tank, where it settles;
• some models of Uponor Sako septic tanks mean a third tank, which serves as another septic tank for drains;
• after the purified water goes to the distribution well, where it flows into perforated pipes;
• at the last stage, the liquid enters the dump pad, through which it reaches the ground.

If necessary, it is possible to install an additional filtration element, an infiltrator, to the Uponor Sako septic tank. This is an underground post-treatment system. But it is rational in cases where the difference between the highest point of groundwater and the bottom of the septic tank on the site is not more than 1 m. But such an addition will increase the price of the septic tank.

Model range of septic tanks "Bioxi"

The range of Bioxi septic tanks can be classified according to two criteria:

• The performance of the treatment plant, that is, the ability of the septic tank to utilize a certain volume of liquid per day.
• Structural features of the treatment plant, reflected in the dimensions of the septic tank body.

Varieties of the septic tank Bioksi

And the first classification method divides the model range of septic tanks into 12 types of treatment facilities, which are designed for disposal volumes from 0.6 to 50 cubic meters of liquid waste per day.

Moreover, the standard model range consists of eight types of treatment facilities, of which the most productive is the Bioksi-15 septic tank, which utilizes up to 15 m3 / day.

More productive models with utilization volumes from 20 to 50 m3 / day are produced by Bioksi only on order.Which is quite justified, since for the disposal of household waste from a family of up to 10 people, a Bioksi-3 septic tank, designed for a capacity of 3 m3 / day, is quite enough, and more “powerful” treatment facilities can serve a small cafe and even a mini-boarding house.

The second classification method divides the range of septic tanks into three varieties, namely:

• Option with gravity wastewater treatment (it is marked with the letters "s / t").
• Option with an elongated body (it is marked with the letters "Long").
• A variant with the maximum overall body (it is marked with the letters "SL").

It should be noted that all three design options are available only for the Bioksi-1 and Bioksi-2 models, and other types of treatment facilities are produced only in the "S / t" and "Long" formats.

At the same time, the differences between the “s / t”, “Long” and “SL” models lie not only in dimensions, but also in the ability to utilize the “volley” water flow from several discharge points (for example, several toilet bowls). Accordingly, the "Long" and "SL" models are designed for "volley" flow, and the "s / t" series can process only one portion of wastewater.

And this feature of the design of treatment facilities from Bioksi must be taken into account when buying a septic tank for a house with several toilet rooms.

Advantages and disadvantages of structures of the brand "Leader"

One of the advantages that Leader brand devices have concerns the location of the structure relative to a residential building. Due to the absence of an unpleasant odor and the quiet operation of the equipment, the septic tank can be placed at a minimum allowable distance of 5 m (SNiP). Other norms should be taken into account, for example, to the nearest well - 25-30 m with sandy (sandy) soils, 45-50 m with clay soil.

Residents of cottages who have been using septic tanks for more than a year note such advantages as:

• high efficiency of sewage treatment - several processing chambers are able to purify the liquid by 95%;
• the ability to work without biologically active additives, which are recommended to be added to septic tanks by specialists from some companies;
• stable operation even with regular long interruptions in the supply of effluents, which does not require conservation;
• easy tolerance of power outages - in the event of force majeure, the system is able to operate normally for 2 weeks, without changing the properties of treated water;
• the possibility of using one of the drainage schemes with a focus on the type of reservoir or the presence of a facility for discharging treated liquid;
• compactness of the structure, which allows economically distributing the free territory of the site;
• the possibility of installation in clay soil or on a site with high groundwater without a specially provided concrete base (the presence of a stable concrete slab at the bottom of the pit is one of the conditions for installing septic tanks from competitors).

The manufacturer recommends selecting a structure so that the useful volume of the device is approximately 3 times greater than the daily amount of sewage. Many consider this a disadvantage, in fact, this ratio helps to easily withstand salvo discharges and clean the liquid by at least 95%.

The possibility of building necks is also an advantage. It is necessary to deepen the septic tank below the usual level. Such a need arises in the northern regions with deep freezing of the soil.

Another plus can be found by buying the Leader cleaning system directly from the manufacturer. Without extra charges, the cost of equipment that belongs to the middle price segment is much lower.

One of the disadvantages is the poor functioning of the installation at low temperatures and the need for additional insulation, but this problem applies to any VOC.

Some users note a bad smell, but it most likely occurs due to incorrect installation or untimely removal of sediment or sludge. According to the reviews, it can be judged that the advantages of the Leader septic tank prevail over its shortcomings.

Advantages and disadvantages of VOC "Fast"

Fast is not the only station that deep cleans with aerobic bacteria. However, it has advantages that distinguish it from most other models.

Among the main advantages are the following:

• volumetric peak loads that are not available to other brands (easily withstands a jacuzzi discharge of 800 liters);
• combined cleaning principle - in addition to aerobic bacteria growing on the surface, anaerobic bacteria also function, living inside the load;
• self-regulation of the system - with a lack of aerobic bacteria, it quickly replenishes their number due to anaerobic ones;
• absence of moving parts (all elements associated with the cleaning function are static), therefore, frequent maintenance and repair is not required;
• compact design, occupying a minimum of usable territory;
• the maximum possible cleaning efficiency is 98-99%.

There are a number of nuances that make station maintenance more comfortable. For example, when leaving for the city for the winter, it is not necessary to carry out conservation, but in the spring to re-enter the system.You can compare with the standard rules for winter maintenance of a septic tank by reading the material on this issue.

It is enough to turn off the power supply, and then turn it on again. Another nice plus is the ability to drain household cleaners containing chlorine and other chemicals into the toilet.

To understand the level of comfort provided by the Fast station, let's compare it with the famous Topas brand in Russia. Topas septic tanks also perform biological aerobic treatment, but they need constant removal (or transfer to a sump) of activated sludge and regular excavation of solid sediment.

Chemicals (solvents, household detergents) must not be dumped into Topas. According to reviews, various modifications of septic tanks really work smoothly, without requiring repairs and regular pumping of sludge. However, shortcomings are still found. The first is the energy dependence of the station.

Oxygen supply is necessary for the development of aerobic bacteria, so a compressor is indispensable. Air supply equipment supplied

The second drawback is the relatively high cost. For example, a household model RetroFAST 0.375 with a capacity of 1500 l / day costs 159 thousand rubles. For comparison, a Topas septic tank of similar capacity is 127 thousand rubles. With features maintenance of the septic tank Topas will acquaint the article recommended by us.
