I have come across many people who had experienced challenges with sewer systems that they are using. One assurance that I can give you is that; you can live in a house without electricity but not without a toilet.
Still, waste water is not something that you would like to look at actively. On the occasions I have gone to supervise the conditions of sewer systems, when I open the manhole covers, most owners bolt out. They do not want to look at the sewage in their household.
so, you can imagine having a malfunctioning sewage system in your own home or one that you have to constantly follow up on its http://performance.As a waste water worker, there are times I have been asked to give my honest opinions on a specific system.
Mostly, the people involved don't want to get a costly solution. Since waste water systems available in Kenya, methinks that it would be worthwhile to guide you through a perfect case scenario of the best and easy to use sewage system:
- It should be easy for you to understand how it functions and trouble shoot in case of a blockage.
- It should not be a mechanical system. These have moving parts or one that would require replacement over periods of time.
- It should not be a mechanical system. These have moving parts or one that would require replacement over periods of time.
- It should not be exhausted every now and then. Engaging a honey sucker is not a cheap affair and if it is a continuous process, it will eat up your savings.
- It should not smell. Smelly sewage attracts flies in your compound.
- It should not smell. Smelly sewage attracts flies in your compound.
- It should be easy to install and operate. Having a sewage system that is very technical in your compound can be confusing in case of a malfunction. Also the readily available technicians in your won't be of help if the system develops some technicalities.
- It should be within the confines of your compound. Imagine having a shared sewage system. Nobody chooses neighbours. Sewer systems are largely dependent on the lifestyle of the people using it.
Should the person you are sharing with - the system- misuse, then both of you would have have to experience the discomfort together.
- It should be away from trees. The roots of these trees cannot be controlled. They have a funny way of penetrating into the drain field or worse still collapse an already existing sewage system.
- It should be installed away from the storm water drain route. Chances are that, if a sewage system is in the path of storm water, it will be easy for it to penetrate and displace any available space. In most situations, you will experience back flows at the drain points.
- The gradient of the drainage should be gently sloping. In case of a steep fall, water will run fast leaving solids behind. The result will be blockages. The recommended fall is 1:40.
- It should be installed by professionals. That way, you are sure that a standard job will be done and sub-standard materials will not be used. Cracks and water from the surroundings won't find itself into your sewer system.
If you find that you can add more points, welcome on board. I will be glad if you do so. As always am at your beck and call
