- This video was developed by Judith Torzillo for Healthabitat, to help explain the process of how a septic tanks works, what the by products are good for and the level of maintenance it needs to villages in Nepal receiving and working on The Village Sanitation Project.
It is now used to explain the process to anyone...

Life of Boris lol why are you here blin
Never expected you to see this kind of shit here *ba-dum tss*
Wow Boris.. What are you doing here blyat? 😂
Funny seeing you here
Boris. Blyat. What are you doing here.
First, Septic tanks never have a downspout on the inlet side, that would cause the inlet to plug up. Second the hole in the divider is always at the midpoint depth wise in the tank so some of the solids sink to the bottom of the tank an other float on top. The hole in the midpoint of the tank divider helps insure that the majority of the solids remain in the first chamber. The downspout on the outlet should always be at the midway to the bottom of the tank so water with the least amount of particulates is drawn out of the tank. Particulate matter going out into the drain-field is what plugs it up an causes the field to fail. Its normal to have 2"-8" solids floating an the same settled on the bottom of the tank, the tank does NOT need pumped an cleaned. Humans have more germs an bacteria in our bodies than any other animal on the planet. The bacteria make the tank work. Never connect your water softener to your septic tank, because the salt from it kills the bacteria in the tank. I've been installing an repairing septic systems for over 4 decades, yup always working with the shyty end of the stick.
Thanks for the info. I have to build one for my farm.
Patrick Smith it would be very helpful to thousands of viewers if u could create a video of it and upload
Thanks
@@rurbanxp5425 bro he dead
I have a water softener should I get my tank pumped more often or just add bacteria more often?
We used these all over Africa and they work a treat;even during the rains.Simple and cheap to construct,odourless and so simple to maintain.And a by-product was rapidly growing trees around the soak-away for which we used gravel and coke.

It’s an interesting approach to demonstrate elapsed time. A+ for originality. It’s a video about how a septic tank works, and you made it cute! 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
We think this simple animation has greatly helped people in rural Nepal understand the systems that some of them are getting in the sanitation project....wait and see the new bio gas animation coming soon
Where that water goes?

Naah , they like to show their ass in open field and railway track 😂
Bro it help a lot thank you
🇳🇵
Everything I was thinking while watching this video got reaffirmed in the comment section. 😂
Short and simple video that makes me understand in easiest way. Thanks
This video was confusing
Thanks in a million. Great content. Awesome imagination. Grade: A++💥
This design is new to me. I like the idea at the end where the water is redistributed to the plants!
Look Aquaponics up it's pretty interesting
Its all about the cycle of nature.
Worked like that for many years
That's the point of the tank
The problem with these systems is that many chemicals going through the toilet like cleaners. This kills the bacteria in the septic tank and the process is not going well. All chemicals go to the plants !!! Including the hormones from the birth control pill and any other medications that come from the human body. So your Plants are poluted !!!
Thank u for guildlines its very helpfull and reduce the problem of septic tank
First, waste water from toilet bowl with feces goes down to the septic tank. Then it goes to the 1st chamber which is called digestive chamber(where most of the feces or toilet paper deposited, sludge), then it goes to the 2nd chamber which is called leaching chamber. (Should be filled by sand at the bottom then gravel at the top for screening some feces or paper which escape from the first chamber). All water that goes out of the tank are fairly clear but not treated or potable.Water then goes to the leaching field. Some feared that ground water can be contaminated with this untreated water( especially if the septic tank is wrongly designed). Leaching field should also be spread with sand & gravel then water from leaching field can now go to the vegetation or grass plantings. Note that the elevation of septic tank should be at highest point than the leaching field or vegetation as oppose to this video. Water or liquid seek its' own elevation (simple physics).
+redsoil5 Thanks for the information. Very helpful.
What will happen if the hole at the partition was higher up or not there,so that water overflows at the gap on top?
I was thinking it
redsoil5 Nice explication. You should make a video about it. :)
I learned nada. So a septic tank just redistributes you waste? Hmmm how the f is the water getting to a place then?
Thank you, I never wondered about that. However...I learned something, thank you for that!
Excellent video. Now I know how mine works.
This smells like ecoli everywhere

This help me a lot. tks!
what is up with the woman getting pregnant and giving birth?

represents life...and the life span of this system...very observant btw.
That guy stayed in the bathroom for 9 months!!!!
GoJasper lolol good observation lol
Plural Love to show how much time is passing by
you know youve been eating chilli when you can fill up the whole septic in ounder a minute
Thank you! I have more faith in what modern humans do now! I have been thinking about this for a long time- fruit and poop are similar to CO2 we produce and O trees produce.
Simple, easy to understand.
omg what did he eat he was shitting the whole video
Banana's and potato's ^^
Celeste Rosales I dunno but he looks like he's shitting bananas and full coconuts
I was laughing my ass off when i saw that the yellow person was in there for so long
He had a lot of business to attend to.
My dumbass though this whole system was people getting shredded and turned into reusable water... *Which is impossible* ,and I went straight to the comments section trying to find a disturbing comment, *So here you are :)*
Thanks youtube ive always wondered abt this
This is good. I am also not familiar how the sewage system works. Probably you can do one for that?
cool video nice explanation
I also learned about stick figures getting prego and giving birth.....
Good work👍
Now its clear to my mind why our guava trees is full of juices and nutrients.
Yup our poops goes back to us in the forms of delicious treat with extra cost and taxes 😂
The passage from 1 tank to the second must be above the drain field and a 4"x12" plastic pipe installed 45 degrees. Only the black water(toilet) should go to # 1 tank and gray (sink, shower)water to # 2 tank. I built my sectic tank and never need maintenace for 40 years.
Noted Thank You Sir 🙏👍✌👌
What causes the change in tank content to happen at 00:19? Is it just gravity/weight of the sediment sinking to the bottom, or something more to the process.
And this is how a septic system completes the circle of life.
I can't believe I just "liked" a video on septic systems.
the point is so the water comes out into the grass
The yellow dressed person became the poop slave to give nourishment to the plants, he never got out... :
😄😁😅😂🤣
@@ibringthelastwords1358 omg someone replied after 1 year of my post 🤣
nice work
Im watching this because my brother fell into one because we were messing around behind a bathroom waiting for our grandma. Like almost 2 years ago.
When you eat and try to find somethong amazing on youtube but you found this on recomend
We've had a septic tank since the year 2000 and it's only today 14/07/2022 that Im learning how it works.
Nice sir
The kid grew up on the manhole of septic tank, no wonder they're all pooping so much 😂.
Btw the animation was really informative, it have a clear overview for even a layman to understand, it was informative, (and questionable)
Center Enamel Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks are the excellent option for municipal sewage treatment as municipal sewage storage tanks.
If you redesign the passage between the tanks by installing a 4"x12"pipe 45 degree angled from the first tank to the second tank and leveled higher than the drain field hole.This way the black water will drain to the gray tank. The black water will work better and the waste will be biodegrade naturally.
Black water is the toilet waste should go to the first tank and the gray water( sink ,shower) will go to the second tank. I built a septic tank like this and for 40 yrs I have not need maintenance.
Hi the overflow pipe in the ground, to feed the plants. What's stopping heavy rain running back up the pipe into the cesspit and filling it up?
Interesting.
The plumbers who came to deal with my septic tank said that the plumbers experienced the unknown they’ve never seen. They said the sludge was so heavy the pumps were struggling and also the fumes overwhelmed some of them!
That's some hardcore poop you've got, lmao
Nobody:
My brain: How do septic tank work?
Absolutely nobody:
Me at 1:37am: how does a septic tank work
how do you get rid of the solids at the bottom of the tank?
This is mis-named. It's actually about how a septic field works. A septic field has a septic tank but liquids from the tank can be dispersed under a wide area called the "field". On it's own, a septic tank needs to be pumped out once a month on average depending on how many people are in the house, and how big the tank is. In a septic field system, the septic tank concentrates solid waste and needs to be pumped out about once a year. Quite a difference.
Tanks only need pumped depending on how many are using the waste system, but generally say 4 people per a house hold tank will only need pumped 5 or more years. I have seen tanks that never been pumped in 25 years work just fine, because the bacteria eat up the solids in the tank
The connection of the 1st to the 2nd chamber should be at o.30m below the septic tank cover.
That's why our vegetables nowadays are very tasty..
What is the difference in an alternative septic and how would I have it cleaned out ?
Thank you , SV
Correct that's how it works but sometimes ( like 20/30 years later) the soil can become so saturated with water it won't absorb any more .At the point they musk excavate and lay new drain pipes elsewhere .
After the plumber pumped my rank he said that in his 20 years of pumping out septic tanks he only remembers a few times that his hose clogged up more than when it did upon pumping my tank. And he said the smell was among the worst he ever had to deal
With .
Holy shit that septic tank got full fast.
very nice super
a 0:54 seconds video... I'm going to watch it anyway...
Watching this while taking a dump
Stop putting odd comments, that's an animation and it takes years to get those results.
We should be thank full to the creator of this animation.
Secondly i think people are dum by the reason that this is a simple example how manure works. Even if natural ( cow dung , compost ) or artificial amonia.
Okey Abdul
This video is insane.
This is the greatest graphical representation of where our poops are goes in to😂
Thanks sa info
hey man which software you used to animate this video can you suggest me plz
Seems a galvanic/electrolytic part similar. A Low power on left and right would mid clear absorbance to positive. But this needs to be a low power 12V at 0,01 A a long time. 🔎 Galvanic process
My God. That woman had the runs!!!
Great
Nice explin
This is more of a conceptual video than actual depiction
Cool
That poor yellow guy, what did he eat?
Nice this video
me at 10:03 pm how septic tank works 😂
im watching this while eating 😂
Short and simple. may I have permission to download this video? Please, thx u 🙏🏻
think about those juicy lime tamatoes cucumbers oranges and corn my not eating the juice of my pee at all yum.
Michael Vigil all of your food is supplemented with manure (poo)
@@isabellavargas2277 yes he probably just realized where everything he eats came from, lol
How the did I get here from hotline Miami
How about the e. Coli bacteria? Does it contaminated the soil or not?
End should go into large french drain to filter through building rubble into surrounding soil
How dose the water suddenly become clear when moving from the first half of the chamber to the next?
The bacteria feed on the waste
Вот откуда мой урожай растёт, никогда удобрением не пользовался. И свой урожай продаю гражданам выходит они сами себя прикармливают, от них только мне деньги)
А такой же системы туалет, или вы шутите?
LOL
I thought for a second the shit water became clean water, which was filtered into the house for showering and shit lol
I was waiting for the tank to overflow
"My shit is your future."
-Some wise septic tank dude
Interesting. How do the alligators get out?
What am I doing here at 12:42 AM, 9 years after this was posted? 😳
good ideas e
How did the partitions in middle stand in mid air....?????
👍👍
That guy was fighting demons.
what is that brown and yellow color falling off. .?
Looks like the plants love them.
who eat the plants?
How come at the end the water spraying upwards?
Best
Yang sudah dibuang akhirnya dimakan lagi. Begitulah siklus hidup.
That makes sense
Anyone know how I can check the filter between my tank and the leech bed? the water keeps filling up a lot in the tank. I've had the tank pumped and he said it didnt have much solid, mostly liquid. Someone else suggested that I check the filter or screen. How do I do this?
Nice
It's 1:22AM right now and here I am
Everyone:Shiting and Peeing
Me:
