A septic treatment plant is the easiest way to organize the removal of waste at a summer cottage or during the construction of a private house in the country. This option is ideal in regions with a small depth of soil freezing.
The septic tank performs several important functions at once:
- cleans sewage from waste;
- removes bacteria that can cause infection;
- eliminates unpleasant odor;
- maintains an ecological balance on the site.

Principle of operation
Septic Biodek consists of a camera divided into several compartments (based on high-strength plastic). It is through them that sewage water moves, being exposed to aerobic bacteria that feed on oxygen and organic waste. Thanks to their work, even the smallest traces of waste are removed.
The cleaning process is as follows:
- The waste enters the receiving chamber. There they are crushed, crushed and clarified.
- They move to the aeration tank, where they are mixed with treatment elements. At this stage, organic waste is removed, this is one of the most important stages, and grinding of the largest and most problematic ones continues. They stand at the bottom.
- The waste which passed the primary treatment passes the stabilizer and enters the secondary sump, similar in its properties and functions to the aeration tank.
- From the sump they enter the aerator, where the bacteria finally purify the waste water from all traces of putrefactive waste and get rid of the unpleasant odor.
- Wastewater enters the airlift, from where it enters the secondary cycle.
Thus, purification by Biodek includes two sediments of heavy biological particles and additional purification using active bacteria.
The water resulting from this treatment is well suited for technical work, use when watering plants and other domestic needs. Drinking it is not worth it, but everything else is enough for substantial savings in water and the absence of problems with waste disposal.
Septic tank model selection
It is very simple to choose a suitable Biodek model: next to the name of each of them there is a figure indicating how many people he effectively serves. The most popular in private homes models Biodek-5 and Biodek-8.
There are also types of biodek that can handle waste from 10-20 people. For private use, it is unnecessary to choose them, but they will serve the cafe, gas stations, several private houses with the same sewer system.
The names of the models often also indicate the letters C and P. The letter C means that the model has a gravity drainage. Models with the letter P will need to fix it forcibly. P-type septic tanks are often located near groundwater to simplify the drainage process.
Advantages and disadvantages of the septic system Biodek
The main and almost the only drawback of this septic tank is that it works only with electricity. As soon as it disappears, the septic tank ceases to function effectively, and during this period it is better to use it as little as possible, otherwise overflow may occur.
Regular maintenance work will be required, but this applies to any septic stations.
Benefits of Biodek
This septic tank is so popular because of the simplest design, which is practically not susceptible to breakage and extremely rarely clogs. At the same time, it guarantees fast wastewater treatment, even of the most unpleasant decaying waste, to such a state that they can be effectively used in everyday life.The ecological balance is also not disturbed.
Due to its reliable design and durable material, biodec can be used for many years, while it is relatively cheap compared to other septic systems and is very easy to install.
The sludge produced by Biodek and removed from the chambers during the cleaning process can be used as a natural fertilizer.
In addition, Biodek weighs less than other treatment systems: this is due to the fact that its walls are made of more modern material and seemingly thinner. In fact, this difference is compensated not only by the characteristics of the material, but also by the shape of the septic tank: it is made in the form of a cylinder, not a parallelepiped, like many others, and therefore the soil pressure on its surface is distributed more evenly. There are also cubic Biodek models for more ergonomic placement. Such models are equipped with stiffeners and are also very reliable.
Installation process
Installation of such a septic tank will take only a few hours, and it can be carried out both by yourself and with the help of specialists. This is done like this:
- A suitable place is chosen. He does not need a large space - this is another of the benefits of Biodek.
- Digging a foundation pit under the septic station, as well as a trench to the side for pipes.
- A sand cushion is created in the pit (at times, depending on the soil, it can also be made of pebbles or with its small inclusions).
- The septic tank is installed and buried, while the tank is filled with water.
After that, it remains only to debug and run Biodek for the first time.
During the installation, in no case do not forget about the connection of the septic station with the sewer of the house. If this is not done, then in winter, after freezing the soil, serious problems can arise.
Biodeck Care
Preventive examinations are carried out on average once a month and a half, and the septic tank is cleaned of sludge that has settled on the bottom of the filtration chambers every 3 months to six months, depending on the frequency of use. No further separate care is required here.
Note!
You should not throw waste into the receiving chamber of the septic station that does not dissolve well or does not dissolve with time: toys, rags, household garbage. That is why it is important to ensure that children or pets do not drop anything there.
When using Biodek, oil products, chlorine, acids and alkalis should also be avoided - they can destroy the bacteria responsible for wastewater treatment.
