How to eliminate the smell in the toilet in the country

Eliminating odors in a country toilet is an urgent problem, especially in the summer. If you have such a problem, you need to check the ventilation pipe - it may be clogged. If ventilation was not done during construction, it must be done. It will take a little time and money, and there will be no intense smell in the room.

We make ventilation - natural and forced

Natural ventilation occurs due to the movement of air heated to different temperatures. In the toilet, for this, a window is made above the door, and holes in the side walls. It is advisable not to glaze the window above the door, otherwise it will not fulfill its functions. To reduce insects, it can be covered with a net.

Window above the door - not only for daytime lighting, but also for ventilation

Side vents are made at the bottom. They can be tightened with the same mesh or decorative grilles can be installed. The presence of holes at different levels ensures good air movement, which minimizes odor.

Exhaust ventilation is also required - a pipe from a cesspool or box, which has a container for waste. The easiest way is to make it from a plastic pipe with a diameter of 100 mm. Its height should be 50-70 cm above the toilet roof. You will also need a corner at 90 ° and an umbrella on the top (or a deflector, if you find a suitable one) - so that foliage does not fly in.

How to remove a pipe from a sump or waste container

Make a hole in the toilet wall equal to the outer diameter of the pipe. Insert a short piece of pipe, mount a corner to it. All this can be fixed to the wall with clamps.

If we install a fan in the pipe, we get forced ventilation. If there is no fan - it will be natural - the air movement will provide the temperature difference and wind.

Control methods

Unfortunately, the presence of ventilation is not a guarantee that there will be no smell. Its appearance is the result of even minor mistakes in the construction of a cesspool and also a not very successful location. Therefore, you have to deal with the unpleasant smell of toilet and other methods.

Store drugs

The industry produces special preparations to eliminate odor. They are in liquid or free-flowing form, there are in the form of tablets. In these preparations, bacteria are "packed" that convert feces into completely harmless products - water and some kind of sediment. The result of processing almost does not smell, and even more often it can be used as fertilizer.

There are three types of drugs:

• With anaerobic bacteria. They are insensitive to the presence of oxygen. Can be used in hermetically sealed containers. Their disadvantage is the release of hydrogen sulfide during processing, which means the presence of a characteristic odor. Also, these bacteria recycle about 7% of the waste.
• Aerobic bacteria. The presence of oxygen is required for their life. They are used to process waste in cesspools. As a result of processing, sludge settles at the bottom, which can be used as fertilizer and water. Water can be used for technical purposes.
• Bioactivators. It is a mixture of two types of bacteria, supplemented with enzymes to speed up the processing process. This type of purifier can handle even the recycling of household chemicals.

Here are some remedies for odor in the toilet in the country:

• Dr. Robik. The product contains six different types of microorganisms that deal not only with biological waste, but also with household chemicals. The drug is diluted in water and poured into a cesspool or septic tank. In this case, the filling level decreases, and after a while the smell disappears.

• DEVON-N. The liquid is diluted in water (60 g per 1 liter) and the surface is irrigated (from a watering can). As the temperature or storage time of the waste rises, the dosage increases. It is also admitted as a dry mixture. Diluted in water before use.

• Micropan. There are preparations for different types of toilets: "Cesspool", "Toilet bucket" and "Dry closet". The Domovo series is suitable for septic tanks and cesspools.
• Atmosbio. This is a bioactivator drug. Suitable for any type of toilet. There is only one limitation - water is needed for processing. Therefore, the liquid level must be controlled by adding water if necessary.
• MICROSYME ™ SEPTI TRIT. For a pit (septic tank) with a volume of up to 10 cubic meters, 2-5 kilograms of the drug will be enough for several years. During the first processing, add 200-250 gr. preparation for each cube of waste. The next treatment will be needed in a couple of months. Added 100-500 gr. depending on temperature.
  

  Toilet odor neutralizers

There are still a lot of drugs: in different forms (liquid, powder, tablets) and from different manufacturers. They are matched to the composition of the prevailing waste. Basically, the processing is effective, there is no smell at all in the toilet, sometimes there is even a fragrance (BIOTAL). The only drawback of this method of getting rid of the toilet smell is the rather high price of drugs. And also the fact that bacteria are active only at positive temperatures.

Traditional methods

Odor neutralization in the toilet in the country is possible without purchased drugs. There are at least two biological ways:

• Periodically add tomato tops to the sump.
• Once every 7-10 days, throw a bunch of nettles into the sewage.

Both of these plants, when decomposed, release substances that kill bacteria that cause the "toilet" smell. Tomato tops (you can throw the stepchildren) at the same time also kills the larvae of flies, and also scares off adult insects. So we get a double effect - and we eliminate the smell in the country toilet, and we get rid of flies.

Dry toilets

The device of a cesspool is far from the best solution when building a toilet. Today, there are other waste disposal methods that, when properly used, do not emit any aroma at all. If you want to have an odorless country toilet, put a compost or peat toilet, which is also called a powder closet.

The essence of such a toilet is that after each visit, all waste is covered (powdered) with peat, sawdust or a mixture of them. Small particles block contact with air, there is almost no smell. In the case of a cesspool, peat also works, but the volumes there are large and it is impossible to completely block access. Although with the regular addition of peat, the method works well.
