The Poplar septic tank has quite large dimensions. Nowadays, organizing a sewage system is a rather complex process. This statement is especially true for those who live in country houses and do not have the ability to connect to centralized services. In this case, the sewer system will include many elements, the most important of which is the design for wastewater treatment. The fact is that sewer water pollutes the environment, and therefore in our country its discharge into the ground without preliminary treatment is prohibited. There are several ways to solve this problem, one of which is to install a septic tank. Such designs are considered the most modern and popular. However, they are also more expensive than other options. Therefore, the choice of a model of such a septic tank must be approached with extreme caution. For example, you should pay attention to the Topol septic tank.
Advantages and disadvantages of the Poplar septic tank
Advantages:
- the installation is made from polypropylene of the highest quality, this guarantees durability and environmental friendliness, and polypropylene also copes well with any destructive environmental factors;
- the septic tank is carefully checked for leaks at the factory;
- high quality of these products;
- high quality and durability of the compressor;
- the Topol septic tank does not require periodic pumping with special machines;
- no unpleasant odor;
- two operating modes: forced and independent mode.
Flaws:
- energy dependence, in the event of a power outage there is a risk of overflowing the receiving compartment;
- a greater number of operating restrictions (you cannot throw: inorganic waste, cleaning products, products that contain chlorine or other substances that kill bacteria).
The principle of operation of a septic tank
In general, a septic tank works like other treatment plants that contain aeration tanks. Below is a diagram of how the installation works:
- Sewage flows from the house through a pipe and enters the receiving sector.
- There, with the help of an aerator, the liquid is saturated with oxygen, and large contaminants break down into smaller ones.
- Transfer by airlift pumping into an aeration tank.
- Processing by aerobic bacteria for organic septic tanks.
- The treated wastewater is transported to the sludge settling tank.
- Deposition of a large amount of silt at the bottom of the sector.
- Part of the sludge goes into the receiving chamber so that the microorganisms are suitable for the next cleaning cycles.
- The last sector acts as a secondary settling tank, where small inclusions and suspension settle to the bottom.
- The purified liquid leaves the installation.
Cleaning technology
When developing an innovative treatment facility, the septic tank manufacturer Topol adhered to the principles of simplicity and convenience. It is enough to connect the residential water supply to the inlet pipe of the first section. At the bottom of the chamber there is an aerator that supplies air to the receiver. The clarified water in the first section is supplied by airlift to the second tank, leveling out fluctuations in the flow rates of incoming wastewater. To avoid clogging of the airlift of the receiver, a coarse filter is provided that retains the middle fractions. An air blowing device is also located on the filter partition.
In the second section, a mixture of waste water and suspended activated sludge is directed by gravity through the lower opening to the third tank (secondary settling tank). Purified water is separated from suspended activated sludge and supplied to the outlet or overflow of an additional chamber equipped with a forced discharge pump. Forced disposal of wastewater is carried out into an accumulation chamber for technical needs.
Installation and installation of a septic tank Topol
The first step is to choose a place for the septic tank; it is better to do this in the garden or behind the house. Then you need to dig a pit for the septic tank and pipes. You should add another 25 centimeters to the perimeter of the pit for a sand cushion. The cover must be laid 20 centimeters higher than the ground level. This is necessary for greater convenience when servicing the installation and as additional protection against rising water during heavy rainfall. At the bottom of the pit, first lay a layer of sand, then gravel, and then a septic tank. Then you should connect the sewer pipe that leaves the house to the septic tank.
The septic tank is filled with water and covered with a layer of sand around the perimeter. But still, if you are not sure that you can handle it on your own, then it is much better to invite experienced specialists who will properly install a septic tank in a private home.
Possible faults
During the operation of a septic tank, several types of breakdowns are possible. In order to navigate in time when a breakdown occurs, it is necessary to take into account in advance the common malfunctions of factory equipment.
- Compressor failure. As a rule, this is due to a break in the electrical wiring or the need to replace the membrane. The Topol septic tank has two compressors that duplicate each other. This type of failure is unlikely, but not excluded.
- Solenoid valve failure. The valve is being replaced.
- Violation of the tightness of the housing as a result of the destruction of the weld. As a rule, this type of breakdown occurs as a result of a violation of the septic tank installation technology.
Repairing a control unit or solenoid valve yourself is a rather difficult task. Without proper knowledge in this area, self-repair may result in breakdown of other equipment and, as a result, additional costs. Contact the service center for professional advice.
Operating rules for the Topol septic tank
To use Poplar for a longer period of time, you should follow a few simple rules:
- It is prohibited to throw solid, inorganic waste into the septic tank, since the bacteria that participate in the processing process are not able to process polyethylene, wool, substances that contain chlorine, and compounds that contain manganese. A list of all prohibited substances and items is contained in the operating instructions. These substances can harm the colony of beneficial bacteria or create a clog.
- It is also necessary to remember the permissible value of the number of people who use the sewer system. Exceeding the permissible threshold may lead to overflow of tanks and the possibility of filling other working sectors of the station.
- When there is a power outage, you should reduce the use of Poplar as much as possible so as not to overcrowd the sectors.
By following these simple rules, you will reduce the costs of maintaining the Topol treatment station, which are associated with repairs and elimination of problems that arise due to improper operation of the station.
Meet the manufacturer
A local sewer system, intended for use in private households, involves the use of special modules that purify wastewater in a certain way. Such equipment also includes a Topol brand septic tank, which is produced by. The product is manufactured in Moscow using advanced technology developed by Russian and German specialists.
The company belongs to the Polymersnab Group of Companies, which has been operating since 1992 and is one of the most famous domestic enterprises for the production of sanitary ware polymer products.
Let's watch a video about the company and this model:
The Poplar model, which has become the company’s brand, works according to the method of deep waste treatment using biological material. It is an autonomous cleaning system that creates comfortable conditions where there is no central sewage system.
Basic modifications of the Topol septic tank
At the moment there are 3 main modernizations of the Topol septic tank:
- Poplar 5.
- Poplar 8.
- Poplar 10.
There are no main differences, there is only a division into productivity and performance characteristics.
Septic tank Topol 5
In this list, this is the most low-power, but popular model. It looks like a rectangular tank made of plastic with systems for connecting the sewer pipe and removing purified water. This model will be ideal for a country house or a summer cottage.
Now there are 2 options Topol 5 - Topol 5 PR, as well as Topol 5 Long PR.
Pr - a solution to the problem of high groundwater levels, the system is equipped with a drainage pump, this is necessary for the forced extraction of purified water.
Long Pr - solution to 3 problems: high groundwater levels and discharge of wastewater into the drainage system. The height of this model is 50 centimeters higher, this was made specifically for areas where soil freezing above one meter is possible.
Technical data of the Topol 5 septic tank:

- energy consumption - 1.2 kW/day.
- installation size – 1030×1000×2485 mm.
Septic tank Topol 8
Septic tank Topol 8 is a modification created to consume more sewage water.
This design is slightly better than Topol 5 in terms of wastewater processing volume and technical characteristics. In terms of external features, the design is almost no different from Topol 5, the difference lies in the difference in tank volume - Topol 8 has a larger tank and more powerful compressors that process a larger amount of sewage water. There is also a modification:
Poplar 8 Long - this installation is used when sewer pipes are buried at a depth
Topol 8 PR - additionally comes with a drainage pump for forced extraction of purified water.
Poplar 8 Long P.R. - connection of a deep model with a drainage pump.
Technical data of the Topol 8 septic tank:

- energy consumption - 1.9 kW/day;
- 2 compressors for enriching water with oxygen;
- installation size – 1330×1030×2485 mm.
Septic tank Topol 10
Septic tank Topol 10 is one of the most powerful household cleaners.
Maximum consumption of 3.3 m³ of sewage water. This option is best for using two private houses at the same time. This model also has 3 upgrades:
Topol 10 PR - the difference from Topol 10 is only in the method of water discharge .
Poplar 10 Long - purifies wastewater from a private house with sewer pipes located at a depth of 0.9-1.4 meters. Filtered water is removed by gravity.
Poplar 10 Long P.R. - combines two previous modifications, this is very convenient for areas with low sewer pipes. The station is equipped with a drainage pump.
Technical data of the Topol 10 septic tank:
- designed for a number of people - up to 10 people;
- daily volume of processed wastewater is 1 m³/day. ;
- salvo discharge of water - 790 l;
- the maximum possible flow of wastewater per day is 3.3 m³/day;
- energy consumption - 2.3 kW/day;
- equipment with two compressors for saturating water with oxygen;
- installation dimensions - 1928×1120×2485 mm.
Design Features
Poplar Eco-Grand is an example of septic tanks of all-in design. The main feature of wells of this structure is that all sections are located in a single container - this can significantly reduce maintenance costs and reduce the time of wastewater treatment and settling.
Photo - principle of operation
Like the vast majority of septic tanks with this design (Astra, Topaz, Tank), Poplar consists of a pipe connected to the sewer, a sump or primary tank, a secondary tank where additional purification is carried out and an outlet pipe. A coarse filtration mesh is also installed in the first tank; it allows you to clean the wastewater from large particles that for some reason did not fall to the bottom under the influence of gravitational force.
Photo - design
If you compare the Topol septic tank with other similar devices, it has the following design features:
- Like Topas, Topol is a forced filtration system. Compressors are installed in a separate septic tank, responsible for pumping water from one tank to another. This significantly speeds up its operation and increases cleaning efficiency;
- All parts (housing, working parts, filters) are made of high-quality plastic, which has excellent anti-corrosion properties. This increases the well’s resistance to aggressive environments;
- Hiblow brand devices (Japan) are used as compressors; they provide a burst discharge of 250 liters for the simplest model (Topol 3). This is quite enough for the efficient operation of the sewage system in a house inhabited by 3 people;
- This antiseptic does not require additional addition of bacteria. The system uses anaerobic microorganisms, i.e., those that do not require special conditions. But if the liquid may contain chemical impurities (reagents, alkalis, etc.), then the vital activity of the colony must be periodically checked;
- The water goes through several stages of purification using special airlifts. If, after repeated settling and cleaning, liquid waste remains in the liquid, then using these devices it is sent again for additional purification;
- Special output filters ensure 95% purification of wastewater. This is somewhat lower than that of the more powerful Tank, but is quite sufficient for using the liquid as process water;
- Thanks to its small overall dimensions, this well is perfect for a summer house or country house with a small yard.
The production of Topol septic tanks is carried out at the Grant-M plant, and it should be noted that official dealers offer products in almost every major city of the Russian Federation.

Reviews
I bought a Topol septic tank, I was very worried about the operation of the installation during frosts, since in winter our temperature reaches -30, but I was worrying in vain, it works - no comments.
Kovalev Valery Moscow
My wife suggested buying a septic tank; a neighbor recommended it to her. It took a long time to choose, because we were already tired of the cesspool... we live in a century of development, and there is still a toilet on the street. So we chose the Topol3 septic tank, installed it in 1 day and you know, there are no problems with it, my wife is happy, and so am I.
Now we recommend it to everyone. Panchenkov Dmitry Moscow
Preservation for the winter
The following procedures will help protect the Poplar septic tank from the negative effects of frost:
- Dismantling compressor and pumping equipment for the winter.
- The container is filled to 60%.
- Placement of internal water freezing compensators. It is enough to fill plastic bottles with sand, ensuring partial immersion in water. The measure prevents the formation of ice that expands the walls of the septic tank.
- The cover of the treatment plant is insulated with straw, old things, and plastic film.
