Septic tank made of concrete rings

For those who want to save on the purchase of a septic tank, a good option would be to build it from concrete rings. The advantages of this method, in addition to low prices, are quick installation, the absence of problems with operation, as well as durability. Concrete rings can be installed even by a person without experience in construction work. Concrete tanks will become not only a place where waste accumulates, but also contribute to their decomposition. User reviews about the septic tank made of concrete rings will tell you about them in more detail.

Septic tanks made of concrete rings - reviews and recommendations for use

Septic tank made of concrete rings

A comment

The use of a septic tank made of concrete rings makes it possible to achieve perfect waste treatment and ventilation. The air masses freely move under the crust, not in contact with the effluent emitting gases, performing an additional insulating function.

Having arranged the ventilation, I ensured the suction of gases and significantly improved the fermentation inside the system. At first I neglected the diversion of effluents and as a result, I got the passivation of the process. When there was no ventilation system, the operability of the structure was ensured by a gas pipe.

pros

1. processing of decomposition products with access to the level of alkaline fermentation;
2. There is no possibility of stagnation in the acid phase;
3. excellent cleaning-fermentation;
4. minimum unpleasant odors.

Minuses

1. There are no installation standards, as is the case with factory equipment.

Term of use

Active discharge decomposition

A comment

By installing a septic tank from the rings, I made a gap of 50 mm between the working level and the drain pipe, forming an emergency reserve for dumping the accumulated volume without stopping the pressure in the drain. When a dense crust formed during operation, not the strongest discharges were unable to penetrate it, and slurry and feces remained on the surface. Therefore, I decided to immerse the formed discharges directly under the crust, which forms a dome that provides active fermentation.

pros

The ability to make changes during operation when vulnerabilities are detected; universality - can be equipped on any type of soil.

Minuses

There are no regulations and norms indicating how much distance should be provided between the septic tank and the filtration well.

Term of use

more than three years

Septic tank made of concrete rings - time-tested design

A comment

I installed a septic tank made of concrete rings with a common base for 2 cameras. A neighbor on the contrary installed each of the wells on a personal bottom cover, and he had a displacement that led to depressurization of the structure. The developed design, applied on sandy soil, pushes the soil and breaks adapter pipes, since when filling the first well, the mass of drains will exceed the emptiness of the adjacent chamber. Therefore, I decided to install a pair of wells of 2 rings one meter high, equipping a filtering trench.

pros

• you can live in peace with a family of 3 people throughout the year;
• minimum costs;
• there is no need for special care.

Minuses

• The choice of design must be made depending on the type of soil;
• Errors in the construction of a septic tank lead to the destruction of the septic tank.
