The sewerage system available in all modern houses provides comfortable living conditions. This complex engineering facility is installed with mandatory compliance with the approved norms and requirements. In case of non-compliance with the recommendations on the use and operation of the system, serious problems are possible, consisting in clogging of the pipes. Various kinds of household waste descend into the sewer: dirt, grease, waste products. Greater inconvenience to the owners of apartments and houses deliver fatty plugs, reducing pipe cross-country.
The danger of fat formation
Regardless of the material used to make the pipes (plastic, metal), fat settles on the walls during operation. Over time, the fat film increases in size, because it is overgrown with small particles of garbage and food waste, narrowing the permeability of the sewer system. Grains of food stuck in oily residues are an excellent medium for the propagation of pathogenic microbes.
In addition, a rotten and rotten smell starts to come out of the pipes, from the inside the walls are covered with a slippery and sticky dark coating. Therefore, the removal of fat in the sewers is an unpleasant, but mandatory procedure. Is it possible to do this without dismantling pipes and other structural elements?
What is the hydrodynamic cleaning method
Hydrodynamic cleaning guarantees almost 100% washing of the inner surface of the effluent from fat accumulations. The essence of the hydrodynamic device is to clean the communications with water leaving the nozzle with a strong jet. The nozzle or nozzle moves due to the reactive action and destroys the mud and grease plugs in the pipe, and the elastic water jets emanating diametrically opposite wash the walls from the inside.
Washing pipes using a hydrodynamic apparatus with water under pressure has a number of indisputable advantages:
- Quick and complete dirt removal.
- Accurate impact on communication lines.
- Water pressure does not affect the reduction in the life of runoff systems.
- The winding and complex piping in the drainage system during hydrotreating is not an obstacle.
- Environmentally friendly cleansing method.
- The possibility of hydrotreating in the cold season at low temperatures. Ice deposits and frost in pipes are quickly removed under the influence of water pressure.
- The costs of cleaning the sewer pipes by the water method are ten times cheaper than their full replacement.
Device and nozzles
The following types of nozzles for hydrodynamic apparatuses are distinguished:
- rotating nozzles effectively destroy old hardened corks;
- punching - designed to remove stagnant blockages, as well as air jams;
- bottom - clear of silty, sand or slag blockages;
- chain (cutting) - chop foreign objects that fall into the pipe. This option is especially effective for removing caked traffic jams;
- rotary - indispensable for cleaning pipes from fatty deposits;
- angular - with their help, knee-shaped gaps of pipelines are processed;
- universal can replace some other types of nozzles.
Due to the versatility of the universal nozzle, the presence of it in the kit is necessary, so that, if necessary, to be able to use another one that is missing instead.
Despite the many types of nozzles, they are all arranged according to one principle, differing only in the external forms and the number of jets emanating from them under pressure. Maybe one central jet or more. Direct-acting nozzles break plugs, reverse-acting nozzles located at the rear contribute to the advancement of nozzles forward under the influence of jet propulsion. As a result, the entire pipeline is cleaned, not just certain sections.
How is the cleaning procedure
Distinctive features of a cleaning hydrodynamic machine are:
- High water pressure in the jet at the outlet of the supercharger (about 150 atm.).
- Use, taking into account the working conditions of nozzles of different types (nozzles).
- The ability to adjust the speed of the nozzle in the pipe being cleaned using a durable flexible hose.
Work with the use of special equipment is quite simple and uncomplicated: the hose with the nozzle is lowered to the beginning of the cleaned area, the compressor is connected. Under the pressure of water, the hose with the nozzle moves along the pipe and cleans it. A person regulates the movement and position of the hose, controls the water pressure.
Strong water pressure cleans the inside of the pipes as if with a brush. After this procedure, the pipes are permanently cleaned of grease and other impurities.
Devices for carrying out such an operation are available in various modifications in terms of power and scope, are available financially and for individuals. The range of channels for technical cleaning is from 5 to 100 mm.
To clean the sewer in private houses and apartments, you can use small-sized hydraulic units, convenient in terms of transportation. The compactness of such a device is deceptive, it has sufficient power, works as reliably and efficiently as more bulky analogues, the quality of cleaning allows you not to worry about the condition of the pipes for a long time.
Companies producing hydrodynamic sewage treatment plants are interested in selling equipment for individual consumers and are doing everything possible to reduce the cost of such devices to make them accessible to any category of the population. The high cost of this equipment or cleaning services are incorrect information.
During construction or repair, owners of apartments and private houses must provide for free access to various designs of the sewer system to reduce financial costs and possible problems with hydrodynamic cleaning. Subject to such simple conditions, it is possible not only to save money, but also to preserve the landscape of the personal area and the interior of the apartment.
Problem prevention
Of course, it is not possible to completely eliminate the ingress of fat into the sewer, because it is washed off quite a lot from the dishes, and all available dishwashing detergents only help to remove it from there, but not to dissolve it. It is possible to reduce the amount of fatty substances entering the sewer pipes by following simple measures: do not drain the grease into the sewer, install grease traps, oil, residues of products containing a large amount of fat, pour it into an unnecessary container and throw it in the bin.
In extreme cases, drain into the toilet, the diameter of the pipe, which is much wider, and pour warm or hot water to dissolve the fat. A properly designed sewer system is also an effective way to deal with the accumulation of fat deposits in drains: choosing the optimal pipe diameter for sewer distribution and installing them under an appropriate slope (5-10 cm per meter length). With a smaller slope, the washable waste will settle, forming a cork, with a much larger slope, water, as a lighter substance in terms of specific gravity, will tend to top and drain quickly, and fat,as well as other dense and heavy mixes - settle on the bottom of the walls, clogging the sewer outlets.
