What should I do when I build a house in the countryside and build an outhouse without a sewer? How to build a toilet to be cleaner?

Modern people are concerned about hygiene and cleanliness, rural house building and repairing toilets without sewers, the impact is still quite large. But it is not without a solution, can be based on different rural situations, make different response programs. Generally speaking, there are two common, one is flushing, one is not flushing, how to operate, the following to share with you.

One, flushing toilet program

In 93 years or so, my neighbors have people built up 5 and a half floors of self-built houses, when our village also has no sewerage, his family toilet in addition to the first floor of the public is a squat toilet, the other layer of the toilet is all the toilet of the toilet sitting toilet, when his family built a toilet using the method, and now there are still villages to build a house in the use of this method.

First of all, you need to dig your own septic tank, according to the situation of your own house, usually the toilet is built in the back part of the house, for example, my house is in the first floor of the staircase, theoretically the septic tank should be dug in the back of the house.

But because there is a well at the back of my house, and there is not much space at the back of the house, I can only bury a pipe underground and dig the septic tank on the right side of the front door.

The septic tank was dug in a rectangular shape, and naturally the larger the area, the better. After the septic tank is dug, two concrete walls are built in the center, dividing the tank into three compartments (remember to leave a hole in the upper middle part of the wall when building the concrete walls).

The first compartment of the septic tank should have an inlet, which means that the fecal water from the toilet of your home will be drained into the septic tank.

The third compartment also needs to leave a drain, which is the convenience of sewage from the septic tank out of the bottom and around the septic tank, the same should be built a concrete wall and waterproof, to prevent septic water from overflowing out.

As I said earlier, the septic tank in the middle of the two cement walls to leave a hole, remember to install two 10 centimeters of water pipe in the hole, so that the entire septic tank interoperability.

Finally, then build a cement slab to seal the entire septic tank, but pay attention to the first and third grid, not all sealed dead, to leave a future pumping activities of the mouth.

The following picture of this square hole, is my septic tank third cell stay active mouth, when the septic tank is full, you can go to the pumping of fecal water.

Second, the program of non-flushing toilets

My hometown is in rural Fujian, our local four seasons of high temperature, water resources are also very rich, there is no shortage of water. However, this is not the case in some rural areas. On their side, there is little precipitation in a year, and water resources are not abundant, and the temperature is low in winter, and the water is prone to freezing, so the conditions for using flushing toilets in rural areas in these places are not ripe.

If you don't mind the dirt, dry toilets can be built, but I personally suggest that it is better not to build this kind of toilets, traditional dry toilets are very unhygienic, especially in the summer when the temperature is high, there will be a lot of maggots, which is disgusting to look at.

I personally suggest that you can build a wet and dry feces separation toilet. This kind of toilet is similar to the traditional dry latrine, which does not need to be flushed with water, but is cleaner and more hygienic than the traditional dry latrine.

The specific construction method is as follows:

First in the home house in a suitable location, dig a four square pit, pay attention to this four square pit, must be reserved for one side is movable, convenient for future pumping of feces with. In the traditional dry toilet, if the cesspool is full, it is directly from the top of the pumping of manure, and this toilet is from the side to pull out manure.

Over the pit, a concrete floor is laid and three holes are reserved, which are buried in two pipes (two of which are fitted with urinal downpipes). One of the holes is used to build a men's urinal, which is convenient for the men in the family to use when they urinate.

The other two holes, is the squatting toilet, in the design of the time, the big hole in the hole of the terrain slightly higher, people in the big time, but also will discharge urine, the urine will flow into the squatting hole in front.

This is the only way to separate wet and dry, because the so-called wet and dry toilets mean that urine and feces are discharged in different places.

In the bottom of the design, squatting on the urinary pipeline, and men's urinal pipeline interchangeable, in the bottom of the pipeline, and then put a bucket, to collect these urine, and in the fecal discharge of the bottom, the same need for a bucket to contain these feces.

Some may ask what is the point of such a design, and how does it have to be used in order for the toilet to be clean and hygienic?

According to what is described above, whether it is a man or a woman at home who urinates, the urine that is excreted goes into the bucket for urination, and when the bucket is almost full, it is important to pull it out in time to clean it out.

And in the big solution, these feces is into another special feces bucket, because there is no sewer, there is no water flushing, these feces if left unattended, but also will be smelly maggots, then the correct approach, is to put a container in the toilet inside the loaded soil or ash, cover the feces with soil, feces once covered with soil is the same as the same as the feces fermentation, will not give off a bad odor, lack of moisture, it is also difficult to breed maggots, and the feces will be covered with soil, so that the feces will not smell. It is also difficult to breed maggots.

Similarly, when the bucket containing the manure is about to be full, then pull it out and clean it out in time.

Considering the digging of the pit for urine and feces, is at the bottom of the toilet, feces covered with soil may not have a bad smell, but urine is certainly there, if the pit is sealed up, in the cleanup of urine and feces, the odor is very big, but to not seal, may also breed flies, very unhygienic.

This requires the design of the pit into a semi-sealed state, that is, the pit of the bottom of the buried a long pipe, in the top of the pipeline, installed a rainwater into the air can come in and out, and in the beginning of the quadrilateral pit that position, with a movable plate, will be sealed.

In this way, the odor emitted by the urine can be discharged through this pipe, the top of the rain-proof and insect-proof cover, the movable mouth also has a sealing plate, mosquitoes and flies naturally can not enter.

Conclusion:

The construction of toilets in rural houses without sewers is indeed a bit inconvenient, but it is not without a solution. Generally speaking, if the water will not freeze in winter, the rural areas with sufficient water resources, you can build a septic tank yourself, if the water resources are not sufficient, the water will freeze in winter, it is more suitable for building wet and dry fecal separation toilet.

Both of these toilets are much cleaner and more hygienic than the traditional dry toilets in rural areas.
