For many owners of private houses, the sewage system of which is connected to a cesspool, the problem of cleaning pits and pipes is very acute, since the process itself must be not only as efficient as possible, but also absolutely safe for the environment as well as for humans and pets . Previously, bleach was used for these purposes. However, its effect does not last long. In addition to caustic fumes harmful to humans, they are also harmful to the environment. Near such a pit even weeds do not grow.
At present, you can buy an excellent replacement for bleach, these are special living bacteria that decompose all solid waste in a short time and without any special effort, and purify the water. Water purified by such bacteria is suitable even for watering the garden, and solid waste is suitable for fertilizing the garden. Let's try to figure out what they are and how they work.
How do biological preparations work and what are they?
In order to get rid of the unpleasant odors of the cesspool, as well as insects that flock to them in flocks, cesspools and sewer pipes should be cleaned periodically. Processing pits and pipes with bleach or chlorine-containing agents does not give a long effect.
In addition, they kill not only harmful bacteria, but also beneficial ones, causing harm to the entire ecosystem as a whole. Because of it, all waste discharged into the pit ceases to decompose.
Especially for such purposes, tools have been developed that not only contribute to the decomposition of waste, but also accelerate this process. Such compositions are obtained by cultivating bacteria from certain depths of the soil. These are special bacteria that can process a large volume of animal and human waste products as soon as possible. Naturally, such drugs have only beneficial bacteria, pathogens are excluded from them.
Such biological preparations have a certain dose of initial enzymes that help them quickly adapt to new living conditions, and then more effectively fulfill their functions.
Once in a favorable environment for them, bacteria begin to multiply very quickly. This speeds up their work many times. If the weather is warm and the water in the cesspool is warm enough, then the result of their vital activity is already noticeable after a few days. Water is significantly clarified, an unpleasant odor disappears, the level of sewage is reduced by an order of magnitude. Depending on the bacteria used, the waste processed by microorganisms is suitable as fertilizer for the garden.
Existing types of biological preparations
Biological products are divided into three types. They differ from each other in the conditions necessary for microorganisms to process waste and its further development. Anaerobic, aerobic strains of bacteria, as well as special bioactivators are on sale.
Anaerobic strains of microorganisms do not require oxygen from external sources for their own functioning. Therefore, such bacteria should be added to the closure of the cesspools. There they have the most favorable environment for development and functioning, where they will be able to decompose all waste existing in a closed pit as quickly as possible.
Aerobic strains of microorganisms need oxygen from external sources. Such bacteria are more suitable for the septic type of cesspools. If they are used in closed pits, then an aeration device must first be added.
The next type of drugs are biological activators.Such activators are universal, but they are used more often to activate the above-described strains of microorganisms after a long stay in suspended animation, for example, after winter.
Conclusion
Before adding bacteria to the cesspool, a special environment favorable for them should be prepared for them. Initially, it is required to purify water from harmful substances that can kill bacteria. This can be done by settling water. Then it is poured into another bucket and a certain amount of bacteria solution is added to it. As a recharge, you can pour kefir there. Stirred and allowed to stand for about an hour. The solution for the cesspool is ready and can be poured into the pit.
