The second homeland - your favorite dacha or a private house, you want to beautify all the laws of civilization. We are building beautiful homes. can be houses made of log cabin, the house can be made of beautiful brick, etc. But apart from the beauty of the outside, I want comfort inside. To the toilet was warm and in the cracks did not blow, so you did not have to go far to ... however, and why not arrange a septic tank, for example from European cubes, yourself.

We build and live a septic tank.
Without exaggeration, it can be said that a significant achievement of the humanity of our epoch, reproduced with our own hands, became a septic tank.
Agree that living and operating conditions do not always allow you to dig a pit for drains. Therefore, an alternative solution is to choose the capacity for use.
A septic can be called any suitable sealed container for these purposes, which performs the functions of collection and treatment of effluents. Therefore, the main purpose of the septic tank is complete or partial purification of waste water.
To create a structure in the course are ubiquitous tires from cars, homemade septic tanks from European cubes and expensive local cleaning stations. How to properly produce a septic tank with minimal material costs?
Buildings in the style of "septic"
The constructions of the "septic tank" can be divided into the following types:
• local cleaning station
• storage capacity
• small septic tank.
No one will object that the services of a local treatment plant are the most convenient. Cleaning stations are compact in size, and an unpleasant specific sewage odor is absent.
Stations clean sewage sewage with high efficiency. But to ensure the efficiency of local cleaning stations will have to ensure its functioning - to make the installation and make power. And multi-compartment models of septic tanks are an expensive pleasure, after the acquisition, which will have to ponder the meaning of life.
The most democratic and less costly can be confidently called a storage tank and a small septic tank.
The storage tank is an ordinary plastic tank. Storage tanks are buried in the ground or the structure looks like a pit. The walls and bottom of the pit are sealed using concreting from concrete rings and bricks.
All, it would seem, is good, but the accumulated waste will have to be exported, resorting to the services of the relevant services. The storage tanks of concrete rings are practically no longer used today, as morally obsolete. Cleaning of domestic sewage of a private house is carried out with the use of a septic tank from European cubes.
What is the eurocube?
Eurocube is a volumetric container of plastic non-food, manufactured by industrial methods. Eurocube is classified as medium tonnage container (volume 1000 l.)
Constructively, the eurocube consists of an outer packaging and a plastic "flask" IBC container.
As an outer packaging, a galvanized steel lath is used. The packaging is located on a pallet of plastic, less often metal. The material from which the European cube is made is low pressure polyethylene. In the upper part of the "flask" is a filler neck with a polyethylene lid. The diameter of the filler orifice is 150 mm. In the lower part there is a drain cock equipped with a plunger or ball valve.
The drain cock is located in such a way that it practically does not go beyond the dimensions of the eurocube. With all its appearance, the robust and capacious design of the Eurocube makes it clear that we have a reusable copy in front of us. What, in fact, and used compatriots, equipping the eurocube for a septic tank.
In their "European homeland" cubes are used for transportation and storage of liquid or bulk cargo of chemical, oil, food and pharmaceutical industries. So why not give a second life to a convenient container, second-hand. Moreover, the scheme of the septic tank from European cubes is simple and accessible!
The scheme of a septic tank from European cubes
The device of the septic tank from the cubes is preliminarily calculated to create the necessary capacity. The volume of the tank will theoretically have to accommodate the sewage coming in during a certain number of days, more precisely three days. The estimated water consumption per day by one person is approximately 200 liters.
Then for a family of two people the capacity of an eurocube is: 200 х2х3 = 1200 liters, for a family of three people 1800 liters. Thus, for the organization of a septic tank, two euro cubes with a capacity of 1000 liters will be required.
How does a septic tank from Eurocubes work?
The work of a septic tank consists in applying the principle of mechanical rejection of particles in waste water. The waste water entering the first tank will be split using bioactivators.
By anaerobic digestion from the total mass of the runoff, the insoluble part settles at the bottom of the first container. The liquid from the upper level will flow into the second container at this time. When using this scheme, the cleaning of the European cube from the accumulated spent sediment will have to be made by improvised means through the estimated time. This period is approximately one year. To remove sediment in the tank is equipped with a special hole.
We make a septic tank from the European cups with our own hands
To install a septic tank from European cubes independently, it will be necessary to prepare a pit for the calculated depth and trench for the subsequent laying of sewer pipes. It should be remembered that the dimensions of the excavation should correspond to the dimensions of the container with a margin of 25 cm for each side.
The slope of the sewage line is taken for each meter of the pipeline and is 2 cm. The location of the second container with respect to the first eurocube is 20 cm.
The following materials are required for the septic device:
• two eurocuba rated capacity
• insulation of the external walls of eurocubes (foam plastic 100 mm thick)
• standard pipes for drains, overflows, exhausts
• cuffs, nipples and tees
• drainage pipes
• sand, cement and gravel for backfilling the tanks.
installation and septic device
The septic device will consist of the following steps:
• preparation of eurocubes (installation of branch pipes and ventilation pipes)
• installation of European cubes in place
• isolation of tanks with subsequent concreting
• Preparation of a drainage field
• the laying of drainage pipes with the subsequent backfilling.
To mount the ventilation pipes on the top face of the European cube cut out the mounting hole. For the ventilation outlet, a tee is used. The ends of the ventilation pipes are fitted with covers. For the first container, the lower edge of the vent pipe should be located 15 cm above the connecting end.
Both capacities of eurocubes must be equipped with inlet outlet nozzles. Planting holes for fitting the nozzles are cut out on the sides. The inlet for the sewer pipe should be 30 cm below the upper edge, and the outlet opening is made at a distance of 30 cm from the bottom. This hole will be used to install a drainage pipe for drainage. Thus, the countercurrent is achieved.
The general overflow circuit is connected with the use of a tee.
After the preparation of the euro cubes for work, the installation of the septic system at the site in the pit is made.
Eurocubes are brewed into a frame of galvanized profiles, lowered to the bottom of the pit and installed on the site. Then the eurocubes are fixed with a metal cable to the tank body and loops on the foundation.
The next stage is the concreting of the gap between the walls of the tank and the foundation pit. During concreting, it is recommended to fill the septic tank with water so that the tanks do not float up, and the integrity of the shell has not been disturbed. Now the construction from above is covered with foam plastic, it is rolled, covered with concrete and concreted. The result of the work will be the holes left on the surface for mounting the ventilation pipes.
