Do-it-yourself Septic for a Country House
A builder often faces the problem of recycling and utilazing of waste-water. For arranging a closet at your county cottage by yourself the following constructions are often used: a simple stinking fund, a concrete pit, an undergroud septic or a ground septic. Some of the builders decide to construct a pit of concrete or other material without a bottom thinking the waste-water would someway disappear. In that case it might pollute the drinking water in the soil.
By all means a septic is the best decision for a country closet, for it is the best way of waste treatment; if you use it right, there is no smell; and besides, it demands less service during exploitation comparing with a stinking fund.

But what kind of septic is to be chosen for a countryside closet?
