Shit happens

[Super Joe]

If the lid hasn't got a good seal, due to build up of dirt and debris then rainwater can seep in fill up the level.

It looks like a giant hand grenade. Imagine if the bugger exploded...

I hope this will bring a smile on Pitsch's face :

Would my mother-in-law fit in there

Wouldn't have thought it's possible to know when it needs emptying by smells coming back into the bathroom as the wc pans and sinks, shower wastes etc. should all have a water seal trap (U-bend) to stop this happening.
If after a few years use it does need pumping out the signs would be blocked WC's or spillage from the top lid and some very green grass around it

[tolair]

When this thread appears in AWOL's friday 'highlights,' it's bound to attract some interesting new posters.


Sheesh, you lot really know your sh*t, don't you?

Correct, chopsticks. But, the operative word there is SHOULD. The plumbers are in the same Thai union as the Electricians!

[chopsticks]

Agreed Nereus, amazing how many different permutations they can invent in trying to connect a few pipes and tanks together.
Now let's move on to wiring colours and earth rods......

What is the volume of these things and what have been your experiences on pumping them out. How often? Ours ended up under the washing machine in the washing room off the kitchen -- small townhouse outside of BKK.

In the US a 1250 gallon ST is pumped out on a 5-10 scale depending on usage.

Addding bacteria isn't necessary sh*t has plenty; but you don't want to dump in anything that will kill the bacteria that exist in the tank.

[poosmate]

1250 Gallon septic tank!
Loads more shxxt in the US I think

Guys, this isnt primary school and we are all of an age ( making a wild assumption here) where we have seen the word shit ( and piss )in print many MANY times and are unlikely to recoil in horror when seeing it spelled out in full. It is in the title of the thread after all!

You really are allowed to say shit here and dont need to resort to the "cutesy" mispellings like "sh*t"and "shxxt".

As for piss, it is unquestionably the most popular four letter word on this forum and yes, you can say PISS here and dont need to resort to "p*ss," or "p_ss" or whatever.

Just something I have often wondered about as I wander through HHAD posts. Why?

A.A. Milne would have severe issues with his famous character being called Winnie the Shit. Having said that, one of his quotes seems appropriate to many of the threads

"I don't see much sense in that," said Rabbit.
"No," said Pooh humbly, "there isn't. But there was going to be when I began it. It's just that something happened to it along the way."

May I ask you who already have septic tanks installed how large a drain field you installed and whether you used the conventional design with pipes in gravel pits?

Cannot help you with that one stgrhe, as I bought my house after it was built. I doubt very much that you will find a "proper" soakage trench here. I have never seen "agriculture" pipe for one thing, and to try and tell a Thai how to build one will just get you laughed at.

What I have done in two other houses that I have built here, is have them run the outlet from the septic tank into a "soakwell" that is constructed from concrete rings, without a bottom in it. This is not ideal, but about the only way I could get around it. The ground conditions have a big bearing on what you can use, as clay based ground will obviously require a bigger area for "soakage" than sandy soil will, as does the depth of the natural water table.

On one house I bought some 3 or 4 inch PVC pipe and spent hours drilling small holes in it, and then laid it in a bed of "gravel", or more correctly, it was crushed stone as used in road making.
