Technology and installation features

If the storage septic tank the triton is installed correctly, in compliance with the technology, it will work for a long time without losing installed capacity.

Proper installation is one of the conditions for long-term operation of a septic tank

Installation of equipment consists of several stages:

• Planning, marking the site.
• Digging a pit.
• Installation of capacity (several capacities).
• Laying and piping.
• Electrical work (if the system is volatile).
• Sanding mixture.
• Commissioning works.

When digging a pit, technological standards should be taken into account: the distance to the walls of the tank should be at least 25-30 cm. The backfill consists of cement (1 part) and sand (5 parts). The tank is installed on a 30-centimeter concrete base, fixed with cables to protect it from groundwater movement.

• Easy installation. Many models are installed without involving construction equipment.
• Ease of maintenance. The need for the arrival of scavengers occurs 1-2 times a year.

Minuses:

• There were times when septic tanks could not cope with the treatment of established volumes of wastewater.
• Often the area of ​​the site does not allow equipping the required element - the infiltrator, and one storage tank low-quality filters the effluents.
