Overview of country sewage system Rostock
Country sewerage Rostock is a complete, complete autonomous sewerage system
, based on the principle of gravity. As you know, all old, proven sewerage systems are based on a gravity sump and a filtration system after the septic tank. In Rostok equipment this principle is brought almost to perfection. In any configuration of AK Rostock you will definitely see a modern septic tank and an obligatory element of the gravity sewerage system - a post-treatment unit. And if septic tank models differ only in performance, then the post-treatment system is selected based on the volume of discharge, the type of soil on the site, and the groundwater level.
If we generally characterize the Rostock autonomous sewerage system, then it is modular equipment, which, with the correct selection and professional design, provides significant advantages over other autonomous sewerage systems. For different types of soil and different site conditions, different post-treatment systems should be used. So, drainage tunnels are suitable for loose and dry soils. They effectively distribute water in the soil over a large area. Which undoubtedly affects the overall service life of the entire system. If the space under the filtration field is limited, or loose soil rocks begin at depth, special filtration wells are used. Rostock filtration wells distribute runoff after a septic tank at a depth of up to 3 meters! If your site has clayey, water-logged soil, it’s time to take a closer look at post-treatment based on biofilters. This is the only solution on the Russian market for post-treatment of wastewater after a septic tank in a sealed, factory-ready product.
We recommend selecting an autonomous sewage system with the participation of an engineer or specialist with design experience
septic tanks for private houses. But if you want to choose the best option for your country house, we will give recommendations separately for each system.
Standard range
Speaking about “Rostock”, it is impossible not to mention that this name bears not one, but several devices. That is, there is a whole model range, the most popular and sought-after components of which we will now consider.
The Rostock septic tank model range is focused on the needs of families of various compositions: if desired, everyone can find the model that meets their capabilities and needs
Here is a list of Rostock septic tank models that are in high demand among consumers:
- Mini. The volume of this model is 1000 liters. Within 24 hours, it is capable of purifying approximately 0.3 cubic meters of wastewater. The Mini septic tank is designed for 1-2 users. It weighs 60 kg, dimensions 128x110 cm and depth 170 cm.
- Dachny. With a device volume of 1500 liters, it purifies 0.45 cubic meters of wastewater per day. The “Dachny” septic tank is designed for 2-3 users. It has a weight of 100 kg, dimensions 170x112 cm and depth - 184 cm.
- Country. The model has a volume of 2400 liters and is capable of purifying 0.88 cubic meters of wastewater per day. The Zagorodny septic tank is designed for 4-5 users. It has a weight of 150 kg, dimensions 222x130.5 cm and depth - 199.5 cm.

The inlet and outlet openings in each of the presented models have a diameter of 110 mm. From the top, the inlet hole is located at a distance of 80 cm, and the outlet hole is 85 cm.
For one or two people who permanently live in a country house, the use of this miniature septic tank is the ideal solution
Of course, this list cannot be considered exhaustive. Other models bearing the name “Rostock” are also sold. They can be additionally equipped with biofilters and other systems for post-treatment of sewage water.
A standard Russian family is a mother, father and one child. If such a family will live in the country in the summer, then a Dachny septic tank is best suited to provide them with a comfortable stay.
The prices for these septic tanks depend not only on the amount of treatment equipment they are equipped with, but also on the performance of different models.
As an example of the price range, we can cite recent prices for the simplest septic tank - “Mini”. This model was on sale at a price of 25-26 thousand rubles, while the “Cottage” model in the same time period cost 55 thousand rubles.
The “Cottage” septic tank is designed for year-round use by a large family of 5-6 people: equipped with biofilters, it will preserve the environment in its ideal condition
Features and criteria for choosing a septic tank are given here. We recommend that you read this very useful information.
AK Rostock Mini
The autonomous sewage system Rostock Mini, as you might guess from the name, is built on the basis of a Rostock Mini septic tank with a capacity of 300 liters per day. The post-treatment system may vary, but in the basic version, the official manufacturer suggests using one biofilter. At the same time, after the biofilter, it is quite possible to use the Rostok 2000 universal well for the forced release of purified water using a pump. This configuration will be called “AK Rostock Mini +”.
Also, this sewage system can be used in loose, waterless soils. Then, instead of a biofilter, you will need to install drainage tunnels. counting 2 tunnels for such a septic tank
. Thus, your system will be completely energy independent. But an important factor when choosing this system will be the groundwater level. The system will serve for a long time and without problems at groundwater levels below 2 meters. Using this configuration, it is also possible to organize dispersion at a high level of groundwater, but between the septic tank and the tunnels it is necessary to install a universal Rostock 2000mm well and throw the water into an embankment, which is made using tunnels.
Which sites are NOT branches and representative offices of EcoProm.
In fact, any site, including ours, except ekopromgroup.ru is not the site of the manufacturer’s official plant. We have selected the most popular sites that Yandex and GOOGLE show on the Internet, and which are not

These sites, as well as the companies that own these sites, have never were official divisions of the plant and even official representative offices. These are some of the dealers with whom a dealer agreement has been concluded.
AK Rostok Dachnaya
The first element of this system is the Rostock Dachny septic tank. The capacity of this equipment is 450 liters per day. The post-treatment system can consist of both drainage tunnels and biofilters. At the same time, already in this system there is a choice between standard biofilters and a large biofilter Plus. The large Rostok biofilter replaces two small ones in terms of performance and already contains a pump compartment for the forced release of water into surface drainage.
The complete set of autonomous sewage system Rostock Dachnaya can be as follows:
- four drainage tunnels (for loose soils);
- Rostock well and 4 tunnels (for loose and water-logged soils)
- two standard biofilters (for sloped areas);
- two standard biofilters with a well (for complex sewerage projects);
- large biofilter Plus (for clay soils);
- one or more Rostok filtration wells (for dispersion at depth)
Operating principle and design of a septic tank Rostock.
Septic tank Rostock - operating principle
The device is a single body divided into two compartments. In one of the compartments there are special filters for cleaning wastewater.
Septic tank Rostock - device
The principle of operation of the system is quite simple:
- Initially, the sewage ends up in the primary compartment. The inlet pipe of the first compartment is equipped with a special damper to prevent agitation of the bottom sediment. The process occurring in the first compartment is similar to a similar process in other septic tanks. This is where wastewater settles. Impurities heavier than water settle to the bottom. The lighter ones rise to the surface. Semi-purified water is ultimately sent to the second compartment.
- The second compartment is equipped with two filters. The first filter is a regular one, made in the form of a mesh, used to filter out large substances. The second filter is made of zeolite 20 cm thick.
- The liquid ultimately leaving the device has a purification degree of about 70-80%. This level is dangerous for the environment (according to sanitary standards) and such water must be sent to post-treatment devices (eg: drainage well, biofilters).
AK Rostok Zagorodnaya
In the Rostock Zagorodny autonomous sewage system, basic cleaning is carried out in a Rostock Zagorodny gravity septic tank with a capacity of 880 liters per day. Also, as in other modifications, the post-septic tank treatment system can be different and must be selected to suit your soil and site conditions
.
Starting with this system, the official manufacturer introduces the concepts of “Lux” and “Optima”. Lux means that the performance of the post-treatment system is matched to the performance of the septic tank. Optima says that we save on one biofilter, but we understand that we do not need the maximum power of the system. Among the configuration options are the following:
- six drainage tunnels (for loose soils);
- Rostock well and 6 tunnels (for organizing post-treatment in the embankment);
- three standard biofilters (for sloped areas);
- three standard biofilters and a Rostock well (for clay soils);
- large biofilter Plus (for houses where maximum performance is not needed);
- two or more Rostock filtration wells (for dispersion at depth)
Installation work
Like the selection of equipment, installation is of utmost importance. All the work we carry out is regulated by instructions, and the specialists performing the work have undergone appropriate theoretical and practical training.
So, what is usually included in the list of works:
1. Development of a pit for a septic tank and construction of filtration, according to the installation diagram. 2. Installation of anchoring agents, such as curb stones, well covers, reinforced concrete slabs, at the bottom of the pit. 3. Installation of a septic tank in a pit. 4. Backfilling of the pit with sand. 5. Excavation of trenches and supply of pipelines. Note! For excavation work, brick-colored pipes are used. For diameter d=110, the slope is 2 cm/m. 6. Installation of the ventilation system. This is important in order to prevent the appearance of unpleasant odors. 7. Installation of a filtration system. 8. Commissioning. 9. Cleaning up construction waste. 10. Soil removal (if previously agreed). |
AK Rostock Cottage
The basis of the autonomous sewage system in Rostock Cottage is the Rostock Cottage septic tank, with a capacity of 1150 liters per day. There is also a “Lux” and “Optima” equipment. The cottage system is suitable for a large variety of country houses and is recommended for private permanent residences
. But what kind of system to purchase and install will be suggested by the following post-treatment options:
- eight drainage tunnels (for loose soils);
- Rostock well and 8 tunnels (for organizing post-treatment in the embankment);
- four standard biofilters (for sloped areas);
- four standard biofilters and a Rostok well (for clay soils);
- two large biofilters Plus (analogous to four filters with a well);
- two or more Rostock filtration wells (for dispersion at depth)
Reviews
We can rightfully say about the Rostok septic tank that it has passed the test of time. For some forum visitors, the installation of this brand has been working for the 8th year without causing any complaints.
Experienced owners unanimously declare that the fears of some potential buyers about the low strength of polyethylene and the poor permeability of the zeolite filter are far-fetched: “Rostok” perfectly holds pressure from the ground, and no one has ever had a filter clog.
In order to equip a private house with all the benefits of civilization - a toilet and a bathroom, it is necessary to install a sewerage system. Autonomous sewer system "Termite" - modifications, cost, installation.
Read reviews about the Slavaqua septic tank in this block. We will also consider the features of this system.
AK Rostock Maxi
Autonomous sewage system Rostok Maxi is offered by the official manufacturer as the most powerful Rostok system. But it is quite possible to strengthen even this system with additional settling tanks and biofilters. Therefore, the performance of AK Rostock can be individually designed to suit your discharge volumes. Instead of a standard septic tank, AK Rostock Maxi will use two products: a 3000-liter Rostok underground tank and a Rostok Zagorodny septic tank. Installed in series, they give a total capacity of 1800 liters per day. The post-treatment system is also increased to 6 standard biofilters. Or we use 12 drainage tunnels when dissipating in the ground, if the groundwater is low.
This system is recommended for large country houses with up to 12 people living in them. A distinctive feature of this configuration and the entire AK Rostock line is that the system copes equally well with a minimum amount of waste and a maximum
, according to the manufacturer's passport. Also, any autonomous sewer system in Rostock copes well with volley discharges and irregular use of the sewer system. This is its distinctive feature compared to aeration units.
How to choose a septic tank
A septic tank is selected based on several parameters:
1. Performance
This is the amount of wastewater that will flow into the septic tank per unit of time. Conventionally, we can assume that a person consumes no more than 200 liters of water per day. Multiply the number of permanent residents by this number and get the approximate daily productivity. By the way, the minimum volume of a septic tank is three times the daily influx.
2. Supply pipeline depth
A standard septic tank has an insertion depth of 80 cm from the ground level to the pipe tray. In case of greater depth, the necks of the septic tanks are increased: the total insertion depth is up to 120 cm and 150 cm, which accordingly leads to an increase in price by 4,000 rubles or 4,900 rubles.
