Video description

This video will help you get acquainted with this design in more detail:
Microorganisms in the backfill process the organic components of sewage. This releases water, volatile and carbon dioxide. At the end of the process, the clarified liquid is discharged into the ground or used for economic purposes.

Now it’s clear what this biological local sewerage system is. It should also be noted that it cleans wastewater 20% more efficiently compared to a conventional septic tank. In addition, people will come to order a sewer truck less often.

Another advantage of a septic tank with a biofilter is the ability to avoid using large containers where wastewater will settle. After all, such a structure uses aerobic bacteria. They speed up the cleaning process. Therefore, septic tanks with a biological filter are mini treatment facilities for a private home.

Video description

One of the options for using concrete rings when constructing a septic tank is described in the following video:

Septic tank with biological filter

Such local treatment facilities for a private home allow you to effectively treat sewage. The standard tank design has three compartments. In the first of them, sewage from the house is kept for at least 3 days. Therefore, this chamber must have an appropriate volume.

In the first compartment, suspended particles settle to the bottom. When the chamber is full, the clarified liquid moves to the next compartment. In this case, in the first part of the structure, a crust of light particles of fat and feces forms on the surface. They also gradually settle to the bottom.

In the second chamber, sewage is mixed less than in the first compartment, into which wastewater constantly flows from the house. For this reason, a crust of light fractions does not form on the surface. The second chamber is designed to collect the smallest solid particles from the wastewater at the bottom.

The third container is a biological filter. Peat and/or expanded clay are used to make it. Aerobic bacteria live in such backfill. Instead of expanded clay, crushed plastic is also used.

Why professional installation of autonomous sewerage?

Installation of an autonomous sewer system itself is simple and does not require large expenses, but equipment and skills are required. An installation error can lead to very high costs in the future. And most importantly, there is no warranty when installing it yourself.

Stages of work:

  1. Mark a place in the ground, dig a pit and prepare everything for further pipe laying;
  2. Install a septic tank;
  3. Connect to the pipe system, hermetically sealing the entry and exit points from the station;
  4. Backfill the pit and trenches. When filling the pit, fill the station with water;
  5. Install and connect the pump and compressor;
  6. Connect to the electrical network;
  7. Put the sewerage station into operation.

To save money, you can complete the first, second and fourth points yourself by studying the technical data sheet of the treatment plant, and order installation supervision, direct installation of the station and its connection. But be prepared that you will have to read a lot, study the site and design a drainage system, dig a hole of the required size, prepare a trench for the pipeline, order sand, etc. equipment. It is necessary to comply with all SNiP standards and remember the rules for laying water supply and sewer pipes.


The service life of septic tanks is more than 50 years, and only competently carried out work guarantees operation during this time. Therefore, an autonomous sewerage system with turnkey installation is a more profitable solution than self-installation. Professional engineers are familiar with all the nuances of working with wastewater treatment plants, in different types of soil and in different areas. We also recommend purchasing the station and ordering its installation only from official dealers of the manufacturers.

Turnkey autonomous sewerage from the PORT company is a guarantee of professional installation and assistance at all stages of purchase and installation.

Sewer maintenance

Further maintenance is quite simple. Regular cleaning is important

– according to manufacturers’ passports, but
at least once a year
. During the warranty period - strictly according to the passport. It is necessary to periodically measure the concentration of sludge and remove it. It is worth monitoring the appearance of solids inside and traces of corrosion.

The operation of the compressor also needs to be checked at least once every 3 years.

If you have concerns about the operation of the septic tank, or the alarm has gone off, you should call specialists.

A one-time station maintenance visit includes:

  • Diagnostics of the operation of the sewerage station;
  • Pumping out excess sludge and solids;
  • Cleaning the station inside: filters, pumps, hair trap, grease trap;
  • Cleaning air duct nozzles;
  • Washing the interior walls.

Standards for the location of treatment facilities on the site

There is a lot of confusion in this area. There are many conflicting standards with different distances, and these standards may differ in different regions, so you need to find out exactly from the local plumbing department. The most common standards can be grouped:

  • From the house: to the septic tank - at least 5 m;
  • filter device (absorption well, sand and gravel filter, filter trench) - at least 8 m;
  • to the filtration field - 15 m;
  • to the aeration unit - at least 15 m;


    Finding a place for a septic tank on the site is not easy

  • From a well and a well (your own or a neighbor’s):
      at least 15 meters if the septic tank is located against the flow of groundwater;
  • at least 30 m if the septic tank is downstream of groundwater;
  • at least 19 m if it is perpendicular;
  • To the border of the neighboring plot - at least 4 m;
  • From the border of your site - at least 1 m.
  • One more thing. If there is a slope on the site, then the well or borehole should be located above all treatment facilities. To maintain all these distances, you will have to spend a long time working on the site plan. If everything cannot be observed at once, special attention is paid to the distance to the neighbor’s house and well (well), since a violation is fraught with a complaint, subsequent inspections and fines.

    Operating principle of autonomous systems

    Modern septic tanks are based on multi-stage filtration of wastewater in a continuous mode. The internal space of the VOC is divided into parts:

    • hermetically sealed or interconnected settling chambers;
    • sections with equipment and measuring instruments.

    The software monitors the state of the system. Pumps pump water from one chamber to another. The compressor is responsible for providing oxygen. Technologies involved in the work:

    • mechanical filtration during the supply and settling of wastewater;
    • biological processing of sludge by aerobic bacteria;
    • additional cleaning.

    Filters trap solid particles and grease. In addition to mechanical cleaning, colonies of bacteria work in special chambers. The result of VOC operation is clean water and a small mass of sludge.

    After installation, bacterial strains are placed in the receiving compartment. Protozoa reproduce in the presence of oxygen in the atmosphere and the presence of sediment (silt). During biological treatment, there is no release of hydrogen sulfide: the sewer system operates odorless.

    The durability of the equipment depends on the strength of the housing. The casing can withstand significant mechanical loads and is resistant to soil chemicals. If the owner follows the recommendations of specialists, the device will work for 50 years (without dismantling).

    After installation and connection of communications, the factory system is ready for operation. Among the most popular product brands: Topas, Astra, Volgar, Alta Bio, ERGOBOX

    Rating of the best septic tanks for permanent residence

    Recycling stations for permanent residence have the best performance and degree of cleaning. The best solution is to install a deep cleaning utilizer and a special aeration device. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure uninterrupted power supply. Today this is the most optimal option for the disposal of fecal waste.

    Expert opinion

    Vertical designs are most practical in limited space. Perfect for small summer cottages. For example, Topas septic tanks reach operating mode within 7–13 days. They are easy to maintain, their only drawback is that they are not resistant to network fluctuations, that is, they need to be provided with uninterrupted power supply.

    Criterias of choice

    To drain drainage fluid from the house, a small stationary model is installed. Its power should be comparable to the number of points of water use - bathroom, toilet, washing machine or dishwasher, sinks, swimming pool or sauna. Select according to the parameters of power and volume of the storage tank. It is better if the pump station is equipped with two pumps.

    To operate the sewer system of a multi-story building, you will need a large storage tank and several units that will pump out the liquid. An important point is the presence of a cutting mechanism. It is better when there is one, since debris and large waste can clog the outlet pipe.

    The principle of operation of sewerage in a country house

    The inlet filter does not allow large waste to pass through. In the first compartment, processes take place: the initial purification of wastewater from mechanical particles and the capture of traces of fat.

    The second stage is the processing of sludge by aerobic microorganisms. Sludge is a breeding ground for bacteria. The result of active biofiltration is wastewater purification by 80%.

    The third stage is anaerobic processing of sewage waste. Fine cleaning neutralizes microorganisms that did not react in the second stage. There are combined systems that ensure the coexistence of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.

    Additional processing takes place at the finish line. The liquid is passed through volcanic powder. The treated wastewater is discharged into a tunnel to be directed to a storm drain or used for domestic needs.

    Rating of septic tanks for summer cottages with the best reviews

    At sites where seasonal living is planned, it is most profitable to use anaerobic energy-independent models. If year-round operation is planned, energy-dependent pumping stations are used. The former are much cheaper, but their operation requires soil purification using drainage wells. The latter clean wastewater more efficiently, even with intermittent use.

    Energy-dependent biostations are included in the rating of the best septic tanks for summer cottages, as they have a purification degree of 95% or more. The only thing is that it is important to provide them with uninterrupted power supply to maintain the vital activity of bacteria that take an active part in the processing of fecal matter.
