Septic "Topol": how is it arranged inside and what do the owners say about it?

Septic

Local sewerage for a country house involves the use of special modules that clean one way or another. When choosing a wastewater treatment plant in the country, it is worth paying attention to septic tanks, which produce not just mechanical, but biological treatment. One of such devices is the product of the Eco-Grand company, the summer septic tank Topol, which is assembled at the Granit-M plant using Russian-German technology.

The device and principle of operation of this septic tank

The material for the manufacture of the product is homogeneous propylene, characterized by durability and environmental safety.

The composition of the septic tank contains absolutely no metal parts, therefore, the material is not oxidized and has a long service life.

Septic Poplar

The vertical shape of the septic tank "Poplar 5" is convenient for installation, since it takes up a minimum of space on the personal plot - 1.5 mx 1.5 m

The septic tank is based on the aeration principle of cleaning. Organic compounds found in wastewater are oxidized by oxygen. Water is purified by 98%, while there is no need for a sewage machine, since there is no sludge as such. Aerobic bacteria, multiplying rapidly, turn organics into activated sludge, which serves as an excellent fertilizer.

After cleaning in the septic tank, water enters the filtration well, into the drainage system or a specially prepared trench. It can be used for watering beds or a garden, washing a car, equipment for a small fountain.

The Japanese-made Hiblow compressor with which this septic tank is equipped has a 1-year warranty, while the equipment itself - as much as 3 years, which indicates the manufacturer’s confidence in the quality of its products. Electricity consumption per day - 1.2 kW.

Model range of the Topol brand

Choosing a septic tank for your own cottage, you need to decide on the model. This is very easy, as product labeling is related to the number of people served. The most popular model is Topol 5, as it is designed to serve 5 people (average family standard). This model will clean the drains from 2 toilets, 2 sinks and 1 shower. Connection of household appliances is not provided.

Device diagram

Before installing the septic tank, it is necessary to make calculations and select the appropriate model

For comparison, take the following model - Poplar 8, designed, respectively, to serve 8 people.

The volume of wastewater is also increasing. 1 bathtub and 1 washing machine are added to the listed discharge points.

The largest volume is the Topol 150 station, ready to serve several cottages, country villas or a multi-storey building (for example, a sanatorium or hotel).

Poplar 150

The Topol-150 model is capable of withstanding volley discharge of up to 4600 liters, it can handle about 24m³ of waste per day and weighs 3 tons, but it also consumes 24 kW of electricity per day

Installation and maintenance of units

Installation of equipment is what distinguishes this septic tank from many analogues. The advantages of a biological sewage treatment plant are obvious:

  • No maintenance service is required since no sediment remains.
  • The septic tank is buried in the ground 3 meters from the house, which makes it possible to additionally install a filtering well or drainage field. The close distance to the residential building suggests that there is no unpleasant odor inherent in cesspools.
  • Installation takes place within one day, with only clean water, sand and an electrical network needed.

The septic tank “Poplar” installed in the courtyard of the house harmoniously fits into the overall picture

Further maintenance is minimized, as the station operates in automatic mode. About once every six months, it is required to rinse the filters, this is done by the owners of the site on their own with the help of a strong pressure of water. Also, once a year, drainage pipes should be pumped. If inorganic waste has accumulated at the bottom of the tank, it must be removed. This is rare, about 1 time in 3 years.

Responses of owners of these treatment facilities

The advantages of the Topol septic tank, which the owners of summer cottages celebrate, relate to its reliable operation, timely after-sales service, quick installation, smooth operation, and effective water treatment.

The disadvantages include high prices, as well as restrictions on wastewater. Suppose that compounds that bacteria cannot process (polymer films) should not get into the station. Also, a septic tank should be protected from getting into it the remains of plant food (vegetables, mushrooms, fruits), construction waste, substances containing chlorine.

Septic tank cost

PR - forced method using a drainage pump.
Long - station modification with a sewer pipe in the ground at a depth of more than 80 cm

If we do not allow the destruction of aerobic bacteria and the occurrence of blockages, the Topol biological sewage treatment plant will work for more than a dozen years.
