Modern septic tanks are usually made of polyethylene. But this does not mean that there are no sewage treatment plants from other materials. An excellent example is the concrete septic tank "Favorite". It is suitable for areas with heaving and clay soil.

Feedback on advantages and disadvantages

Reinforced concrete septic tanks are very durable due to the base material. Installation can be carried out even in conditions where groundwater is quite high. Cleaning and filtration processes take place in a cast monoblock. Unpleasant odors and extraneous noise, according to consumers, are completely absent.

The Favorit septic tank is non-volatile and airtight. For the winter, the preservation of the device is not required. The design does not include a complex piping system and the need to completely clean the station so often that operation is problematic.

It will be possible to carry out such work only once every 3 years. As some homeowners point out, they clean once every five years. Negative situations can only developwith illiterate installation, as well as non-compliance with the operating rules. Consumers emphasize that they are described in detail in the instructions.

Specifications reviews

Today, there are three types of treatment plants from the manufacturer "Favorit". The main differences between them are:

• performance;
• weight;
• dimensions.

These parameters determine how many people this or that model can serve. According to experts, the Favorit 2P installation has the following dimensions: 3x1, 7x1.4 m. The weight of the equipment is 5.5 tons. The treatment plant is able to serve a house in which 12 people live at the same time. The unit processes 2 m3 sewage per day. The cost of a septic tank is 62,000 rubles.

After reading the reviews about the Favorit septic tank, you can understand that it is also offered for sale in the Plus model. Its productivity is somewhat less - 1.5 m3 per day. The dimensions are 2, 6x1, 3x1, 4 m. The installation will be able to serve 8 people. The total weight of the structure is 4 tons. The degree of purification reaches 95%. You will have to pay for this installation 57,000 rubles. According to experts, this price may seem quite high at first glance, but it is justified, because the treatment plant is durable and does not require special care.

Reviews on the principle of operation and design features

If you want to buy a Favorit septic tank, you must understand itdesign features. Experts emphasize that the body is made of reinforced concrete, and there is a bypass between the sections. The above models are almost the same from each other, including the principle of operation.

Systems consist of:

• deflector;
• sewer and technological manholes;
• biogas removal pipes;
• covers and chambers made of reinforced concrete.

The lid is for system maintenance. The Favorit 2P septic tank, the dimensions of which were mentioned above, differs in that it additionally has a drainage pump in the design. The cleaning process is very simple. Domestic wastewater enters the first chamber. There is a delay of surfactants, films and fats. All this could subsequently form a crust. Harder elements settle to the bottom, and drains are clarified.

Through the holes in the baffle, water enters the anaerobic digestion zone. There is no oxygen in the second compartment, and fermentation takes place there. Organic molecules, according to buyers, undergo a stage of hydrolysis and splitting. The result is:

• acids;
• ammonia;
• alcohols.

It all turns into carbon dioxide and methane. At the next stage, an inert load is distributed over the surface. Over time, a biofilm is formed, which consists of microorganisms. The purified water is discharged through the filter to the discharge zone.

Reviews on the individual characteristics of the varieties of the treatment system "Favorite"

Bsale, you can find several varieties of the described treatment system:

• "Favorite".
• Favorite Plus.
• Favorite 2P.

The first type is made of concrete, which provides increased structural strength. Installation, according to buyers, can be carried out at a high level of groundwater. The body is completely sealed. "Favorite Plus" is a three-chamber container made of reinforced concrete. The first and second compartments are connected by a two-section digester. The third chamber is the filter chamber. It is designed for cleaning and disposal of sewage. Buyers emphasize that it is better to install Favorite Plus on sandy soil.

If you purchase "Favorite 2P", you will become the owner of a four-chamber septic tank made of reinforced concrete. The first and second chambers are connected by a digester. The third chamber is filtering, while the 4th is designed to collect and discharge treated effluents. According to experts, "Favorite 2P" is better to install on loamy and clay soils.

Reviews on mounting features

Owner reviews of the Favorit septic tank will allow you to understand more about how to install the equipment. Technologies where polyethylene and monolithic reinforced concrete structures are used do not differ much. Before starting the installation of the described installation, according to consumers, it is necessary to prepare a place on the site. To do this, a pit is dug, the dimensions of which should be slightly larger compared to the septic tank.

The bottom is leveled, it is settled insideformwork. According to home masters, it is better to use chipboard for this. When pouring concrete, it is better to add reinforcing elements to it. At the next stage, it will be necessary to place the treatment plant on the channels. It is important to install shields to form the border of the hatch. When installing the Favorit septic tank, you must install ventilation and outlet pipes in the next step. Next, the concrete is poured. The mixture is left to dry for two days.

Reviews about the features of operation

Use the cleaning system in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements. The device must not be overloaded by more than 20% of the norm. Do not dump into a septic tank:

• washing solutions;
• debris;
• solvents;
• acids;
• filters.

Septic tank maintenance

Septic tank maintenance is to check the sedimentation of the septic tank. The structure must be checked for damage. The status of the filtration field is checked every month. It is important to make sure that its performance is maintained. Every year, the chambers of the septic tank are cleaned of sedimentary deposits. If you regularly perform such manipulations, then this will become the key to the effective functioning of the system.

Cleaning the septic tank "Favorite Plus" consists in pumping out insoluble heavy fractions from the chambers using a sewage machine. There is no need to get close to the exit holes at all. Pumpscope with the task from a distance of up to 160 m. If the organization uses special hoses, then this parameter increases to half a kilometer. The integrity of the filtration field is not violated, as well as its durability and functionality.

In closing

The cleaning operation includes pumping out insoluble deposits, cleaning the septic tank pipes and washing out silt deposits. If necessary, you can disinfect the Favorit septic tank using reagents. This improves the cleaning efficiency and extends the service life.
