Country life can be not only useful and procuring, but also enjoyable. To ensure that nothing mars your stay in your favorite area, it is necessary to solve all everyday problems. Often in holiday villages there is no centralized sewerage system, so water drainage and purification must be carried out locally. The same problems can arise with the supply of electricity and water. The owners of the site are faced with the question of how to install septic tanks for their dachas, which one is better and more efficient.
Finding a system for local sewerage is quite easy, since manufacturers in different countries have developed various options to suit every taste. However, you need to navigate through a variety of models, materials and prices in order to find the ideal septic tank for your site that will satisfy all the parameters.
The systems differ in several ways:
- operating principle.
- materials used.
- weight and volume.
- performance and device.
How to choose a septic tank for a summer house and country house
Before purchasing and installing, or maybe making a septic tank on your own plot, you need to consider several basic small but important issues that owners must determine:
- type of residence - seasonal or permanent.
- how much resources are you willing to spend on wastewater treatment?
- how high to the surface the groundwater is located and the type of soil on the site.
- what are the dimensions of the plot.
- how many people will live in the house and how many plumbing fixtures create drains.
Features of choosing septic tanks by materials and types
Manufacturers offer a large number of various models of septic tanks to our consumers. It is difficult to immediately make a choice, especially when the problem arose for the first time and there is no proper experience in installing such equipment. Septic tanks for homes and cottages can be inexpensive and have a minimum of components, and, on the contrary, they can be complex and expensive.
Types of wastewater treatment plants
According to the principle of operation, it is customary to divide equipment into two main types:
- cumulative.
- cleansing.
The simplest model is a regular storage tank. In simple terms, a storage tank is a cesspool (not a septic tank, since wastewater is not purified), which requires constant cleaning. It is extremely difficult to carry out such a procedure on your own, so you cannot do it without the services of a sewer truck.
In the case where a small family intends to spend only the summer at the dacha, it is not advisable for them to install, for example, a biorefinery station. The bacteria necessary for processing waste cannot survive the rest of the time without food, so the best solution for seasonal living may be a simple storage container.
Treatment facilities have a more complex design and corresponding price. They can be distinguished by the following parameters:
- principle of operation.
- final cleaning level.
- capacity volume.
- availability of additional functions.
If a family plans to live in a country house permanently, then the option of installing a septic tank or a full-scale bio-treatment station will be simply necessary. A cesspool (storage tank) is not suitable, since it will no longer be financially profitable.
For example, if 3 people live, the daily drainage will be about 600 liters (200 liters per person), and per week already 4200 liters (4 cubic meters). With an average capacity of a sewer truck of 4 cubic meters, it turns out that you will have to order the machine 4 times a month. Then you can calculate for yourself, based on the prices for these services in your region, how much you will spend per month and year. What will be more profitable for you?
In terms of the degree of cleaning, a septic tank for a private home can be very effective. To achieve 50-75% purification, it is enough to purchase (install yourself) a 1-3 chamber settling tank (depending on the amount of wastewater). After which the water is sent for soil purification (filtration fields or drainage well).
A septic tank without pumping will cost much more, but money can be saved by constantly calling out a specialized machine. In fact, you will have to call a sewer truck in any case, the only question is how often. If you use a three-chamber septic tank, then about once a year you need to pump out the resulting sludge, and if you add special bacteria, then even less often than once every 5 years.
Now let's talk a little about deep cleaning stations (not quite a septic tank and require electricity to operate).
As the manufacturers of such installations claim, the degree of wastewater purification reaches 98%, but there are points of view that this is just a marketing ploy and in fact the degree of purification is less. The water from such a station can be used to water your site, but it is not recommended, since it may still contain dangerous bacteria due to the disadvantages described below. To use water after the station, additional filtration facilities are needed.
The main advantages of aeration units:
- The biopurification station is small in size and does not take up much space (it is convenient to place in a small area).
- Unlike the same cesspool (single-chamber storage tank), in the installation biological treatment It is not the accumulation of sewage that occurs, but its biochemical decomposition into simple and practically safe compounds - industrial water and stabilized activated sludge, and even no odors remain.
- This installation is convenient because its installation is the easiest to do, and the excavation work is small.
- Manufacturers, as a rule, have their own teams that can install equipment within a short time and then provide service.
- All equipment is manufactured at the factory, so reliability will be higher than that of a self-made design.
- Can be used at high levels groundwater.
Disadvantages of deep cleaning stations:
- More accurate performance calculations are required. There is a risk of an unstable degree of purification if there are more or fewer residents than the installation is designed for.
- Energy dependence. When there is a power outage, the degree of purification tends to zero.
- Complexity of design. Periodic maintenance and repair of equipment is required.
- A long break in use is not allowed.
- Due to its small volume, it does not cope well with large household waste and with volley discharge (a large volume of wastewater in a short period of time, for example, draining a bathtub).
- Requires periodic maintenance by specialists (every 3-6 months).
Preferred material for septic tank
When wondering what a septic tank should be like, you also need to decide on the material. Most often, containers are made of metal and plastic, as well as brick and concrete. It is worth considering that septic tanks made of brick or concrete rings definitely needs to be waterproofed.
Brick and concrete rings
This type of treatment facility is most often built independently, since it is the most inexpensive type of septic tank, but requires much more labor.
A number of features of this type of septic tank should be taken into account:
- Wastewater treatment in this type of septic tank occurs by overflowing wastewater from one chamber to another chamber. Therefore, they usually install 2-chamber septic tanks made of concrete rings (brick will require more effort and time). Both chambers are made with a sealed bottom (special rings with a bottom are sold), and after the septic tank a drainage chamber is built without a solid bottom; instead of a bottom, an embankment of sand and crushed stone is made.
- You need to pay attention to the diameter of the concrete rings. The volume of the final septic tank depends on them. By the way, it is best to take the rings with a lock so that they are not dislodged by frost heaving of the soil and the joints are more airtight. You should also take into account the number of people living; the larger the family, the larger the volume of the septic tank is needed.
- If your site has a high groundwater level, then in order to avoid contaminated sewer water seeping into the soil and flooding the septic tank, very good waterproofing is required.
- For better wastewater treatment, you can use special bacteria, and for additional wastewater treatment, it is recommended to install a filtration field, but you can get by with a simple drainage well (chamber).
- If the soil at the site where the septic tank is installed is clayey, then you should not make a drainage chamber; the water in it will still not drain well. To dispose of wastewater, it will be necessary to install filtration fields (soil tertiary treatment).
The disadvantages of this type of septic tank include:
- The complexity of self-installation and a fairly large amount of excavation work;
- Unlike plastic or metal septic tanks, complete tightness of the joints of the rings is not ensured;
- Difficulty in ensuring proper operation when the groundwater level is high (there is no point in a filter well and waterproofing is required).
If a brick or concrete septic tank is not waterproofed, untreated wastewater from the receiving well will escape, contaminating your soil and groundwater, such as drinking water from a well or well. Do not forget that draining untreated water violates sanitary standards and faces a fine ( The Criminal Code of the Russian Federation even has Art. 250) . Among other things, in the spring, melt water can get into the septic tank and flood it, disrupting the operation of the entire sewer system.
Ready-made septic tanks made of metal and plastic
The main advantage of metal and plastic septic tanks over concrete ones is that there is no need for expensive waterproofing and the groundwater level is not dangerous.
Features of using septic tanks made of metal or plastic:
- The groundwater level is not critical, it can be used at high groundwater levels, but it may require the installation of filtration fields and a drainage pump (this results in an energy-dependent system)
- You need to choose septic tanks without seams. Almost all modern local wastewater treatment plants are already made without seams, which provides protection against leaks.
- Plastic, being in the ground, is not subject to corrosion and delamination, therefore it can last more than 50 years.
Disadvantages of such systems:
- The metal has a short service life, as it is susceptible to corrosion (service life is 10-20 years), and if the septic tank has not yet been treated with an anti-corrosion coating, then even less.
- Metal and plastic treatment facilities will cost more than installing a concrete septic tank.
- Septic tanks made of plastic or metal can be squeezed out of the ground when the groundwater level is high when pumping, so they are most often attached to a concrete slab.
- To protect plastic septic tanks from damage (squeezing by soil), especially if the soil on the site is heaving, they additionally make a box (concrete) or sprinkle a cement-sand mixture around the septic tank.
We make the necessary calculations before choosing a treatment facility.
- Calculation of septic tank volume.
A simple but effective formula for determining the minimum volume (working or useful volume) in liters
Q(volume in liters) ≥ N*200*3
N— the number of people staying (guests coming for several days are not counted).
200 — recommended daily water consumption per person.
3 - the number of days during which the wastewater is in the septic tank.
Important Note: The volume of the septic tank is calculated for all chambers, so it is important to take this into account when constructing a treatment plant yourself. The volume of the chambers is calculated according to the scheme 2:1 for a two-chamber and 2:1:1 for a three-chamber.
- Ground water level- very important requirements when choosing a septic tank. The ground level can be found out, for example, if you did a geological survey of the site, in the well passport or in the administration of your settlement. You can find out the ground level yourself; a garden drill is suitable for this. Drill 2-3 wells with a drill in the proposed area for installing the septic tank and check at what distance from the surface the water will flow. It is best to measure the groundwater level after the melt water has disappeared and is absorbed into the soil for +1-2 weeks. If the water is close to the surface, 1 meter or less, then there is no point in making a drainage well (without a bottom) and it will be expensive to make good waterproofing for a concrete or brick septic tank. The distance from the bottom of the drainage well to the groundwater table must be at least one meter.
At very high groundwater levels, for post-treatment of wastewater after a sealed septic tank, an embankment (slide) is made in which infiltrators and filter cassettes are placed. Or they use deep cleaning stations (aeration units).
- Soil composition. You can find out in the same way as the UGV. A system for discharging wastewater into the ground can only be used in sandy, sandy loam and light loamy soils with a filtration coefficient of at least 0.1 m/day and a groundwater level of at least 1 m from the ground level. In simple words, if there is clay at the site where the soil tertiary treatment is installed, then the discharged water will not flow away. Filtering fields need to be set up.
The most popular septic tanks
When choosing the best septic tank for a country house or cottage, you need to decide whether volatile or non-volatile models should be considered. Large investments in a site are required if it is planned to be used frequently and in full. For seasonal growing of vegetables and rare stays, a small septic tank that does not require serious expenses is quite suitable. An excellent option for such cases would be a storage tank or sump. Their installation does not require special material costs and the capacity is sufficient for the needs of the residents of the house. The non-volatile option is also suitable in case of constant power outages.
The second option of a septic tank will cost a little more, but will be durable. The volatile system does not require a lot of electricity, but its supply must be continuous, otherwise the operation of, for example, a deep cleaning station will be disrupted. These models include aerators and pumps for wastewater treatment.
To choose the right septic tank, you need to navigate the most famous brands. All of them have positive reviews from users. The most commonly purchased septic tanks:
- Tank and Triton.
- Tver and Astra.
- Topas and Topol.
- Leader and Eurobion.
Among these models, the Tank, which is non-volatile, is more popular. Also Astra and Topas have very good characteristics. All three models are different:
- simplicity installation work.
- reasonable price.
- compactness and lightness of structures.
- high quality cleaning.
- possibility of self-service.
Tank and Triton do not depend on power supply. Each modification has volume options and a different number of cleaning chambers. A septic tank from Unilos can be designed for a small village; smaller sizes are also available.
- It is better to choose a system that does not require complex maintenance with the involvement of third-party companies.
- Water from a septic tank, as the most economical and environmentally friendly way, should be discharged into the ground.
- Choose a place for the septic tank so that a sewer truck can drive up to it.
- It is advisable to choose a non-volatile system.
- It is better to choose a system whose service life will be at least 50 years.
- When choosing a model, you need to get acquainted with user reviews.
All these simple rules will help you make a choice and install a septic tank for many years. Correct installation and calculations are the key to long-term use of cleaning systems.
To choose this type of technological equipment, it is useless to rely entirely on user reviews. You need to take into account the slope of your personal plot of land, the quality and size of those drains that you will specifically clean, all the soil properties and the climate of its location.

At the moment, such devices have earned the greatest popularity, since they are produced on the basis of the most advanced solutions and technologies for cleaning sewer drains and, of course, provide for state sanitary requirements, the chemical composition of wastewater, type of terrain, soil and climatic conditions.
Before choosing the right autonomous sewer station, you need to decide what type of material is right for you:
— reinforced concrete;
- stainless steel;
- plastic.
Afterwards, you can select a model of spillway treatment structures, taking into account their cost.
On the modern market there are quite a few manufacturers of independent (autonomous) sewage systems, but before you choose, pay attention to their rating. So, for example, since the beginning of 2010, the leading place has been occupied by the autonomous sewage system “Tank” according to the following characteristics:
— simplified installation;
— high performance;
— autonomy;
— affordable cost of equipment;
— durability and reliability;
— a fairly high level of purification.
Autonomous sewage system for a plant
The creation of design documentation for an independent (autonomous) sewerage station for a plant is very different from the same stations for domestic use, because it is the type of water outlets that determines the choice of one or another type of equipment. For this reason, the Ecolos organization implements many types of cleaning facilities.
Autonomous sewage system in a private house
At its factories and branches, the Ekolos company produces independent (autonomous) sewerage stations for houses, mansions, cottages, and cottages.

And based on these conditions, the engineer will select equipment for a sewer station for any cottage.
Autonomous sewage system for an enterprise
The Ekolos company at its production facilities produces autonomous sewers for plants, factories, and enterprises of various production areas. At the moment, most large firms, plants, enterprises, companies, factories have their own autonomous system for purifying industrial water outlets.
The best solution for a large industrial holding is the purification of industrial water outlets in an installed cycle of water supply and purification. The key element in the design of an independent (autonomous) sewerage system for a manufacturing company is the indispensable correspondence of the design loads and the actual discharged industrial wastewater - only in this case will all requirements for cleaning spillways be met.
When installing an independent (autonomous) sewage system for an enterprise, it is recommended to include a number of special structures in addition to the main equipment:
- inspection wells;
- additional pavilions for compressors, pumps, ultraviolet treatment units and other auxiliary units;
- pumping stations for supplying water outlets for disinfection and disinfection;
- tanks for accumulating activated sludge.

Autonomous systems and sewerage solutions for the home
An autonomous sewerage installation in an individual country house does not provide for the accumulation of all household waste, as in cesspools, but the cleaning of spillways, which allows the subsequent use of clean water for technical purposes, for example, for irrigation needs.
Autonomous sewerage septic tank
An autonomous sewage system - a septic tank (sump tank) - is a closed device, without air access, which is based on the principle of filtration using bacteria, designed to purify fairly small volumes (up to 35 m3 per day) of household spillways and fecal matter. When operating this type of sewage treatment plant, 98% purification of drains can be achieved, and therefore both the environment and groundwater are not polluted.
Bio-purification installation for home
The biological treatment method is rightfully considered the safest, most convenient and universal, since it is based on the activity of aerobic bacteria, with the help of which organic matter is decomposed into simple components.
The production company "Ekolos" recommends a number of modifications for bio-purification of a home, cottage, country house, cottage: VOC-5, VOC-8, VOC-15. Such structures are used for fairly deep environmental cleansing of domestic and economic spillways on a site for a cottage, house, mansion, dacha; they are made in the form of vertical cone-shaped hydraulic tanks made of reinforced fiberglass, which are divided into 3 chambers: a compartment for purified water, a secondary settling tank and an air tank -bioreactor.
Septic tank
The operating principle of a septic tank is based on cleaning drains in several stages:
- first, the wastewater enters the receiving chamber, where inorganic substances that cannot be decomposed precipitate and create sediment;
- Somewhat purified spillways are discharged into the second settling tank, which undergo further treatment by decomposition under the action of specific bacterial flora;
- in the last settling tank, complete purification and removal of wastewater is carried out using a special infiltrator.
The full production readiness of such models allows you to mount them yourself.
Pros of a septic tank:
- high degree of purification;
- relatively low cost;
- extensive range;
- ease of installation and long service life;
- autonomy of the installation.
Biological treatment station
The biological treatment module is intended for cleaning household and utility drains and is used for cottage villages, recreation centers, summer cottages, the population of which is no more than two hundred and fifty people.
For example, the VOC-BIO biotreatment system is designed to purify up to 30 m3 per day, this equipment is made of plastic with a 5-year warranty, the service life is fifty years.

The principle of operation of a septic tank for a summer residence
The combination of system reliability and modern technologies makes the septic tank for dachas ECOROS one of the leaders among treatment facilities for dachas and country houses. The ECOROS septic tank has a number of advantages over other septic tanks, which makes many dacha owners give it preference and recommend it to friends and neighbors.
What are the advantages? For example, our septic tank easily copes not only with biological waste. It can recycle and clean waste from a washing machine containing elements of washing powders, and waste after washing dishes using special detergents. Without treatment, such wastewater poses a threat to soil and groundwater. ECOROS copes with this task without making a difference between biological and chemical wastewater.
The cleaning principle is based on the natural principle of processing human waste using aerobic-anaerobic bacteria and fine-bubble aeration with atmospheric air. Thus. in our septic tank, the process of waste decomposition is accelerated thousands of times through the use of aeration (exposure to air sprayed through aerators).
A septic tank for a summer residence consists of several compartments in which the wastewater is treated.
Cleaning steps:
- First, wastewater enters the receiving chamber of the septic tank, where insoluble particles are separated from the rest of the liquid.
- Then the water enters the first compartment - the settling tank. This is where bacteria come into play. They decompose various organic substances, as a result of which most of the organic matter dissolves, and the undissolved settles to the bottom.
- In the second and third chambers of the septic tank, fine cleaning occurs. The wastewater is filtered, and small particles that did not settle in the first chamber are retained. Next, almost clean water is drained onto the ground or .
It is worth paying special attention to the fact that our aeration septic tank for the homedoes not require the purchase of special bacteria.

The main condition for installing a septic tank is the use of specialist services. Despite the fact that the design of a septic tank for a home is quite simple, its installation requires certain knowledge and skills.
- First, the site plan is studied and the location for installing the treatment plant is selected.
- Then preparatory work is carried out, during which soil is excavated.
- The septic tank is lowered into the prepared pit and filled with clean water. The gap between the walls of the treatment plant and the edges of the pit is filled with sand, and if the groundwater level is high, with a cement-sand mixture.
- A supply sewer pipeline and a power supply cable in protective insulation are laid from the house to the treatment plant.
- If necessary, a drainage pump is installed for forced removal of purified water.
- Commissioning works are being carried out.
Advantages of a septic tank for an ECOROS cottage
- Increased resistance to low temperatures.
Our septic tank does not require special installation conditions or the presence of a certain type of soil, and has increased frost resistance. Russian winter is famous for its severe frosts, which means the system must be ready to work in such conditions. We, as Russian manufacturers, have made sure that our septic tank works quite efficiently even in severe frost. - Independence from electricity. For example, the ECOROS series (K) treatment plant will operate even during a long or complete absence of electricity, transforming into an anaerobic septic tank. It is due to the design of the treatment station that wastewater is processed in stages sequentially and by gravity from chamber to chamber.
- High level of cleaning. The ECOROS septic tank is capable of cleaning with high efficiency up to 98%, and the requirements for the quality of purified water at the outlet will always meet sanitary and hygienic standards.
- Easy to transport and install.
- High level of strength.
The use of high-strength polypropylene allows ECOROS septic tanks to perform their functions for up to 50 years.

Can't connect to the central sewer? You can solve the problem locally - install a septic tank. To make this task easier, we have prepared a review of 9 reliable septic tank manufacturers. There is a good chance that other companies you come across are either copying or counterfeiting these 9 products.
We warn you! Hereinafter, by septic tanks we mean any engineering structures designed to collect or process wastewater, unless otherwise indicated. These include VOCs and SBOs – local treatment facilities and biological treatment plants, respectively.
Instructions for selection and installation of VOCs
Purpose of the article: talk about the most reliable companies that have been producing septic tanks and biological treatment plants for household wastewater for more than 10 years. Simplify the selection of the appropriate equipment model based on the needs of the buyer, soil conditions on the site and the purchase budget.
Types of septic tanks
Before we talk about sewage treatment plants, let's do a little education. Conventionally, all treatment facilities can be divided into 3 groups:
- storage tanks. It doesn’t matter what they are made of, their function is the same – to accumulate waste until the sewer truck arrives. Relatively cheap, easy to install, and do not require maintenance as such. Use is limited by the useful volume of the container, hence the need to use water economically and rely on the services of vacuum cleaners. It's inconvenient and expensive. They are used only when soil and other conditions do not allow the installation of structures from the following two groups;
- settling tanks. Multi-section tanks that do not require an electrical connection for settling wastewater and its anaerobic treatment. Microbiological purification processes proceed slowly in an oxygen-depleted environment. The outlet water has a characteristic odor and is purified to a maximum of 60%, so it must be further purified. For this purpose, fields or filtration wells are used: wastewater seeps through the soil layer, after which it does not pose a threat to the environment. Sedimentation tanks are simply designed and affordable, but require maintenance. They need to be periodically cleaned of accumulated sediment, and the filtration field needs to be redone every 5 years. This solution is not suitable for high groundwater levels (GWL) and soil with poor permeability, for example, clay;
- aeration stations. The most advanced systems for preparing household goods. drains. Through the process of settling, aeration and the use of microorganisms, the wastewater is purified by more than 90%, has no odor, and can be discharged into roadside ditches. However, such stations require connection to the power grid, and their efficiency suffers during power outages. Plus, they are expensive and require qualified maintenance.
We've sorted out the types of treatment facilities. It remains to take 5 steps to choose the one that suits your operating conditions.

Factory products for individual use are made from polymer materials: polypropylene, low-density polyethylene (HDPE), fiberglass. They are relatively light, do not corrode, are strong, sealed and durable - all these materials are good.
The only question is to what extent their capabilities are realized in a particular septic tank design. For example, there may be a polypropylene container in which the seams are welded poorly, so it will leak after some time.
The rigidity of the structure is influenced by the thickness of the material and the presence of structural elements: stiffeners and internal partitions. Therefore, if the design is unsuccessful or simply does not suit specific operating conditions, the septic tank can be flattened or torn apart by soil. But the point here is not in the quality of the material from which it is made, but in the design itself.
I can’t decide between a non-volatile septic tank and a biological treatment station with aerators. What's better?
If for a summer residence, choose a non-volatile sump tank, provided that the groundwater level is below 1.5 meters, and the soil itself has good filtering abilities. For example, it is sand or sandy loam. Once a season you will have to do dirty work and remove accumulated sludge from the bottom of the tank, but in general this solution is the most economically feasible and convenient for seasonal living.
For private homes, it is better to buy a system that ensures maximum purity of wastewater leaving the treatment plant. You can’t do without a station with aerators. One of the advantages: the wastewater does not smell after it, it is cleaned so much that it can be poured into roadside ditches. However, this solution is more expensive, and automation and compressors require connection to the electrical network.
Summer cottage near the forest, seasonal accommodation, four people. Recommend a septic tank.
If you need something cheaper and simpler, then consider the Termite Pro 2.0 option. It is very similar to the well-known Tank, but costs only 39,000 rubles. The manufacturer also often has promotions - you can save several thousand.
The filtration field can be set up next to the forest. This is where you will dump wastewater for further treatment. This way you will cause minimal inconvenience to yourself and your neighbors.
At the dacha there is a well from which water is used for food purposes. Which septic tank to choose?
Obviously, a treatment station is required here, after which the wastewater can be discharged into a roadside ditch. If there is no ditch, it can be lowered into the ground, provided that the discharge point must be 50 m from the well.
If the soil does not accept water, then in some cases it makes sense to think about installing a storage tank and then calling the vacuum cleaners.
Will the drains freeze in winter? Is it necessary to insulate a septic tank?
If used constantly, they will definitely not freeze - a kind of bioreactor is constantly working inside, generating heat. In extreme cases, you can insulate it by pouring a layer of straw or leaves on top.
During seasonal use, it is recommended to fill the container 2/3 with drainage, with additional insulation on top. This way the container will not float up and be crushed by frozen soil. We recommend that you additionally read the instructions for the specific model; the manufacturer may have a different opinion on this matter.
What happens to a volatile water treatment plant if the power goes out?
Typically, such systems are very sensitive to power outages. The compressor pumping air stops working, and after 6 hours the amount of oxygen in the wastewater is significantly reduced. The struggle begins between aerobes and anaerobes. Effluent can begin to ferment due to anaerobes, so after turning on the electricity, normal operation occurs within several days.
Is there a strong smell from the septic tank?
After a regular septic tank there is a strong, characteristic smell of sewage. It can be felt even close to the filtration field, so they are installed in the most remote place.
After systems with aeration, the water is cleaner and does not smell. Unless the station's operating mode is disrupted: exceeding the permissible peak discharge, power outage, use of aggressive detergents.
Installed a septic tank with a filtration field without connecting to the power supply. How to service it?
Once every six months it is necessary to open the container and check the amount of sediment. If it is more than 1/5 of the height of the container, it will have to be removed. Use a bucket or fecal pump for this purpose.
Light fractions will accumulate on the surface of the wastewater. If they form a thick, hard layer more than 5 cm thick, it is also better to remove it in a timely manner, because subsequently it can significantly complicate cleaning the tank.
