Systems of deep biological treatment - "Dachnik" septic tank with the prefix "ultra". This is an overflow construction with soil tertiary treatment, in which the wastewater is processed by bacteria without oxygen.

Among the shortcomings worth noting:

• regular cleaning and associated costs of services of vacuum cleaners;
• Preparing a pit for installing a septic tank manually can greatly slow down the process.

At the first stage, the place to install the device is carefully selected. When buying, it is necessary to correctly determine the volume of the septic tank, given that about 200 liters of wastewater per day is consumed per person.

After the foundation pit has been dug for an autonomous sewer system, a sand cushion (10–20 cm) is poured at its bottom to level the walls. Between the septic tank, installed in the center, and the walls of the pit, the distance should be about 20-30 cm. Next step: we fill the septic tank with a sand-cement mixture, filling it in parallel with water.

• Avoid ingestion of large quantities of chemicals, acids, construction waste, engine oils, drugs and other biologically active substances.
• To speed up the cleaning, it is recommended to add special bacteria for septic tanks, which can be purchased in shops for the garden.
• Once every 3-5 years to pump out the contents.
• If you are not going to spend the winter in the country, it is strictly forbidden to pump out the septic tank before leaving, in order to avoid its ascent from the ground due to the impact of melt water. To preserve the septic tank, it is necessary to pump it out only by 10-20% and insulate the lid.
