Budget septic tanks for a dacha without pumping - Biodeka, Optima, Eurolos

In the general understanding, a dacha is temporary housing, although living in it can be as comfortable as in a city house if you approach the issue of arrangement wisely. Particular attention should be paid to the system of drainage and autonomous wastewater treatment. To create a high-quality system, it is necessary to use septic tanks, which are becoming more widespread every year. But the choice of a septic tank must be approached with all responsibility, since it is a key part of the system. We will help you figure out which septic tank you should give preference to in order to be satisfied with its performance.

TOPAS produces septic tanks. The organization has been producing autonomous sewers for private houses, cottages and small settlements for more than 17 years. The company produces complex, individual and specialized treatment facilities. There are already more than 110,000 completed objects. All products are certified.

Conclusions: the TOPAS brand is better known and recognizable. But Deka produces a competitive product that is not inferior, and in some characteristics even superior to models from a recognized leader.

The lineup

The Biodeka septic tank model range consists of units of various capacities, designed for the number of people living in the house from 3 to 150. The wide range of applicability of the installations significantly expands the scope of use. In addition to summer cottages and country houses, Deka’s autonomous sewer systems can be installed in mini-hotels, gas stations, roadside cafes, etc.

Note! The number in the model name indicates the average recommended number of people for whom the installation is designed.

Any of the models of purification stations is available in two modifications, differing in the principle of water removal:

• gravity (marked with the prefix C);
• forced (marked with the prefix P).

Devices with forced drainage of liquid are recommended to be installed in areas with high groundwater levels. Such installations are equipped with a drainage pump and additional capacity.

Biodeck 3

This is the least powerful unit of the entire model range. Septic tank Biodeka 3 is designed for a family of 3 people. However, the manufacturer claims that in summer cottages with moderate water consumption, the unit can serve up to 5 people.

Technical characteristics of the Biodeka 3 septic tank can be viewed in the table.

Biodeck 5

The Biodeka 5 septic tank is available in three modifications. Each of the models can have a gravity or forced type of water drainage.

You can compare the technical characteristics of different models of the Biodeka 5 septic tank in the table.

This is a more powerful installation than the Biodeka 3 septic tank. The Deka 5 septic tank is capable of processing wastewater in a house where from 5 to 8 people live and has a shower, dishwasher and washing machine, toilet, and several sinks.

Septic tank models Deca 5 and higher are also available in a modified version with the Long prefix.

Technical characteristics of installations

To compare 2 types of local sewerage, let’s take two installations of running capacity based on the number of users of 5 people, which are suitable for a summer house, private house or cottage:

Note that the range of TOPAS models (users up to 150 people, salvo discharge 4500 liters and processing volume 24 m3/day) is wider than that of BioDek (with a maximum number of users 20 people, salvo discharge 950 liters. , and a productivity of 4 m3/day). Therefore, first you need to decide exactly what power is needed in each specific case.

Where and why is the autonomous sewage system “Biodeka” installed?

Biodeka is a single-mode station that produces deep biological treatment of domestic wastewater in permanent residences.

These structures are produced in Russia, therefore they are domestic and, accordingly, adapted to a wide variety of climatic conditions.

It is worth saying that the autonomous “Biodek”, regardless of its performance, is capable of recycling wastewater from the entire house, that is, from the kitchen, toilet, and ending with the washing machine and dishwasher.

Today, a variety of septic tank models have been created, allowing you to choose the best option, both for one house and for an entire country cottage, or a station for an apartment building or an entire village.

The septic tank is additionally equipped with a drainage pump and a built-in container. In addition, the system is equipped with an emergency sewer system, which will indicate the presence of a breakdown or overflow of water.

Conclusions:

• The table shows that in terms of parameters and characteristics, the two septic tanks are similar and there is no fundamental difference in them. The housing of autonomous sewers is made of polypropylene, which is highly durable.
• Also, a common feature of septic tanks is the degree of purification equal to 98%, which allows you to safely use the outlet water for household purposes.

What is the difference between TOPAS and BioDeka septic tanks?

Shape

• BioDeck has a cylindrical body, reinforced with stiffeners. When filled with liquid, the pressure outside and inside is distributed evenly.
• The “TOPAS” body has the shape of a parallelepiped; accordingly, when filling, the pressure is distributed unevenly, and there is a risk of deformation. Therefore, before filling, additional screeding with clamps is required. In this case, an important point is the fact that stagnant processes occur in the corners of the square, which cannot happen in a cylinder.

How to install the BioDeka cleaning station

The BioDeka septic tank requires proper installation, since comfortable living in the house will depend on this.

One person will be enough for installation, since mounting the system is not difficult.

The main installation steps are as follows:

1. it is necessary to create a pit corresponding to the size of the septic tank, leaving 300 mm on each side in order to fill this space with sand;
2. the location of the pit should be such that everything pipes wastewater was brought to the structure with a slope of 1:100-2:100;

3. in addition, HDPE will need to be laid in the pipe to the pit;
4. the supply pipe cuts into the system within the limits specified by the manufacturer.

Technological features

• "BioDeka" works in one mode, i.e. has a single compressor. Therefore, the station is simple and reliable in operation. There is no float in the receiving chamber, this eliminates malfunctions due to its sticking. Air is supplied to the septic tank units (airlift, aerator) simultaneously.
• "TOPAS" is equipped with two compressors, the connection to the sockets is separate. A float is installed in the receiving chamber, which controls the filling level. The disadvantage of having a float in the system is that insoluble waste (napkins, paper) can get on it, as a result of which it sticks and leads to incorrect operation of the system. This installation requires periodic maintenance due to wear and tear of various parts.

Ease of maintenance

Maintenance during operation does not differ significantly; each station owner is given a package of documents for the treatment plant; some companies also include a maintenance leaflet (including the required frequency of cleaning or replacing filters, pumping out excess activated sludge, etc.).

As for repairs, BioDeka wins somewhat, although the declared reserve of Topas is higher. It should be noted that Topas refers to two-phase treatment plants, while BioDeka operates in continuous mode. Alternate switching of compressors in Topas leads to a decrease in the service life of the automation and the need for more frequent repairs. In addition, the plastic nozzles in BioDeck are much easier to remove and install than the air supply hose on a metal fitting in Topas.

Availability of lugs

• BioDeck has a square bottom that protrudes beyond the dimensions of the installation. When backfilling, the soil presses on the convex parts and securely fixes it, protecting the septic tank from floating.
• The TOPAS cleaning system does not have lugs.

Features of VOC service

The operating instructions for the Biodeka 5 septic tank indicate activities that need to be carried out every six months:

• cleaning the coarse filter and main airlift;
• removing large debris from the receiving chamber;
• pumping sludge from the stabilizer.

For proper operation of Biodek, it is important to carry out full system maintenance by professionals every 5 years. If necessary, our specialists will replace the compressor membrane and aeration element.

The design is equipped with an insulated lid, which in winter reliably protects the septic tank from hypothermia at temperatures down to -20 ° C. In regions where the temperature drops below this value, it is recommended to install additional insulation. If there is a long break in operation, the Biodeka station must be preserved.

Design and principle of operation of septic tanks

The operation of the installations consists of step-by-step purification of domestic water with the help of beneficial microorganisms. Bacteria, with constant access to oxygen, eat organic matter in the waste and thus purify the wastewater. The end result, after processing by bacteria and settling, we obtain process water, which can be used for irrigation and other household needs, and non-toxic sludge, used as fertilizer.

Operating principle of the TOPAS septic tank

According to the given scheme of operation of the autonomous sewage system "TOPAS", household wastewater, entering chamber "A", is divided into those that are on the surface and settling particles. Biological products act on particles and heavy ones, falling to the bottom, become silt, and light ones float to the top and decompose. Afterwards, water along with light particles, through an airlift, enters chamber “B”, while hair and part of the sludge are retained by the catcher. In an oxygen-enriched environment, microorganisms eat organic inclusions, turning the remains into sludge, while water is pumped into chamber “C”.

Operating principle of the BioDeka septic tank

“BioDeka” works as follows: sewage flows through a pipe into the first chamber, where, with the help of an aeration tank, solid particles are broken down into smaller ones. After filling the compartment, water is pumped by airlift into the second chamber. In it, microorganisms process particles, clarifying the water and producing sludge. To enrich the environment with oxygen, an aerator is installed. Next, the sludge is pumped into chamber No. 3, where sludge is blown off. Effluent from chamber No. 2 moves to chamber No. 4, in which denitrification is carried out. The last stage of purification is chamber No. 5, in which the clarified water is re-settled.

Conclusions: the operating principle of the BioDeka and TOPAS septic tanks is similar. When choosing a device, you should focus on its cost and configuration.

What is included in the factory package of local sewers

Both septic tanks consist of:

• Cases.
• Compressor.
• Compression coupling.
• Sewer outlet.
• Alarm systems.
• Float switch.
• Corrugated pipe.
• Technical passport.

In addition, the devices can be equipped with additional equipment. Such as:

• Forced diversion system.
• Capacity for forced diversion.
• Drain pump with float switch.
• Reinforced PVC hose.
• Set of fittings and connectors.
• Welding rod.

Instructions for use and care of BioDecom

The sewerage system operates in autonomous mode. The operation of the septic tank is monitored at least once a month. The installation material allows it to be placed in any type of soil. The property of the body to prevent the penetration of moisture and withstand low temperatures makes it possible to install a septic tank in any type of soil and in places with high groundwater levels. Additionally, drainage or storm sewerage is provided to remove moisture from the installation.

All residents of the house must know and follow the basic rules for using the installation:

Reviews of BioDeck

• It is prohibited to throw into the sewer system products and materials that do not decompose over time. These can be rags, solid insoluble objects;
• It is not recommended to introduce substances into the septic tank that can destroy beneficial bacteria in activated sludge. Such substances are petroleum products, chlorine, acids and alkalis.

At certain intervals, the station chambers should be freed from the generated activated sludge. You can hire sewer specialists with special equipment, but this work can be easily done yourself by connecting a fecal pump. Thereby providing the site with high-quality fertilizer.

Basic activities for maintaining the sewerage system:

• carry out monthly visual external inspection of the installation for damage;
• regularly check the outlet effluents for odors and foreign impurities;
• control the presence of activated sludge, constantly pump it out at least once a year as it increases;
• maintenance of filtering equipment and airlifts should be performed once every 6 months;
• If significant violations are detected, contact a specialized organization for qualified assistance.

Conclusions: The standard equipment for local treatment facilities is different for each model. Therefore, when choosing and purchasing, you must carefully read the accompanying documentation in order to accurately find out the availability of this or that equipment. The best way out of the situation would be to call a specialist and consult with him on site or order a professional selection of a septic tank for specific needs.

Installation and launch of the Deca septic tank

Before proceeding with the installation of the structure, you should clarify how the BioDeka 5 septic tank works correctly and what requirements apply to the installation. To avoid mistakes, it is recommended to entrust installation to specialists.

The sequence of stages for installing a septic tank is as follows:

1. Selecting a location taking into account SanPiN requirements.
2. Excavation work (digging a pit).
3. Installation of a septic tank in a pit.
4. Laying communications (pipes) to the house and to the place where purified water is discharged.
5. Filling the reservoir with liquid, backfilling with soil around it.
6. Equipment startup.

If necessary, sewer pipes are insulated. The service life of different models varies, but on average the system is designed to last 50 years.

Features of system installation

Its service life and ease of further maintenance depend on how correctly the septic tank is installed. It should be noted that various septic tanks can be used under certain conditions and taking into account the type of soil, the presence and depth of underground groundwater, as well as the level of freezing of the ground.

Installation of a septic tank "TOPAS"

The device is mounted in a specially dug pit so that the upper part of the lid rises 20 centimeters above ground level. This is necessary to prevent melt water from overflowing and getting inside the installation. The lid is additionally insulated with Peneplex or Energoflex. After the installation is immersed in the pit, it is sprinkled while simultaneously filling the device with water to normalize the pressure inside and outside.

Installation of a septic tank "BioDeka"

The unit is also installed in a prepared pit on a “cushion” of sand, which prevents soil subsidence. One of the important arguments in favor of this septic tank is that it can be installed in areas with different groundwater levels. Then the equipment is insulated and immersed in the pit. This is followed by commissioning work.

Theoretically, the installation of an autonomous sewage system can be done independently, but it is still better to leave this issue to the specialists of Septic North-West [/anchor], who will complete the task in one day.

Conclusions: The process of installing septic tanks from TOPAS and BioDeka is, in principle, not much different and is carried out according to a principle similar to the principle of installing any other local treatment station. But, at the same time, BioDeka is less sensitive to groundwater levels.

Advantages and disadvantages of VOCs

Biodeka septic tanks are easy to maintain and easy to install: installation of the device will take no more than 7 hours including digging a pit. Autonomous sewerage has many advantages:

• low weight and dimensions;
• rare service;
• savings on vacuum cleaner services;
• environmental friendliness;
• absence of odors in the area;
• silent operation;
• energy efficiency;
• the station is invisible on the site.

The hatch through which maintenance is carried out rises above the ground. The cover of the Biodeka system is insulated with polystyrene foam and reliably protects against freezing. There are warning lights installed on the surface that start flashing if there is a problem with the septic tank.

The disadvantages of "Biodek" include energy dependence. However, this is not critical, since during a temporary power outage, beneficial bacteria continue to process waste for 3 days. As a rule, such long power outages do not happen anywhere. To prevent damage to the power supply, we recommend installing a voltage stabilizer.

Preservation of installations

Conservation of septic tank "TOPAS"

In order to preserve the TOPAS installation, you must perform the following steps:

• De-energize the equipment.
• Gradually pump out wastewater from each chamber.
• Rinse according to instructions.
• Clean airlifts, filters, nozzles and pumps.
• Fill the unit 80% with water.
• Remove the compressors and store them in a room with positive temperatures.
• Close the lid and provide additional insulation.

It is worth noting that the water cannot be completely removed from the septic tank, as this will lead to its floating. Therefore, the wastewater is pumped out from each chamber separately, instead filling it with clean water by about 40% several times until the liquid becomes clear. All chambers are washed using this method.

Conservation of the BioDeka septic tank

"BioDeka" undergoes the conservation procedure as follows:

• The installation is disconnected from the power supply.
• The chambers are washed and cleaned of contamination.
• A drainage pump removes sediment on the stabilizer.
• Wash the filters.
• Remove the compressor and pump.
• Fill with water to the limit specified in the instructions.
• The lid is securely closed and insulated.

Particular attention should be paid to the fact that under no circumstances should soil or sand get inside the unit, which could lead to damage to the station.

Conclusions: Preservation of BioDeka septic tanks is a little easier due to the simplicity of the design and fewer components that need to be washed and dismantled.

Service

To maintain normal operating conditions and high quality wastewater treatment, Biodeka septic tanks require mandatory periodic inspection and technical work.

Preventive measures that can be carried out independently include:

• daily check of the warning system (if installed);
• weekly visual assessment of the quality of discharged water;
• removal of excess activated sludge (once every 3-6 months).

For comprehensive maintenance performed to maintain stable operation of an autonomous sewer system, it is better to use the services of specialists. They will produce:

• cleaning blower filters;
• remove fatty deposits from the walls of the unit;
• They will clean pumps, airlifts, and inspect the installation for possible defects.

Note! The manufacturer promises, subject to all installation and operation rules, stable, proper operation of the unit for 20 years.

How to decide which is better - “TOPAS” or “BioDeca”

As mentioned earlier, TOPAS installations of various capacities can be selected for both a private home or cottage, and for a high-rise building with a capacity of more than 100 people. Service life – 50 years. They are used both on an ongoing basis and at certain times of the year. Provided that the equipment is preserved for the time when it is not in use.

The strength of the BioDeka septic tank is the shape of the body, which allows the pressure to be evenly distributed inside and outside, as well as the lugs on the bottom. Its advantages are the possibility of installation in areas with high groundwater levels and ease of design and maintenance.

The weak point of these purification systems is their dependence on a constant supply of electricity. Interruptions in the electrical network can lead to overflow of the septic tank and insufficient operation

Owner reviews

Staying at the dacha is not only a break from the bustle of the city, silence and fresh air, but also work in the garden, harvesting and preparing preparations for the winter. In all these cases, you cannot do without a bathroom, shower and kitchen. The Econet website contains photos of installation and a detailed instruction manual for the Biodek.

According to reviews from owners, Biodeka septic tanks do an excellent job of processing waste both in small areas and in large cottages.
