The life of a modern civilized person is very difficult to imagine without sewage. Even when it comes to summer cottages. Everyone wants to live in a place with the highest possible level of comfort. That is why many compatriots deploy drainage systems and cesspools on their sites. Few people know that this approach is not the best option among all the existing ones, and here's why.
It would be stupid and absolutely unfair to deny the numerous advantages of a cesspool at a summer cottage. It really makes life better by allowing wastewater to be drained away from the eyes (and nose). One of the most important advantages of a cesspool, of course, is that it is created quickly, simply and generally unpretentious. However, at the same time, one should not forget that such sanitary structures have a number of serious disadvantages that easily override the advantages. What are we talking about?
The first and most important disadvantage of any cesspool is that it must be cleaned regularly. This work is not the easiest and certainly not the most pleasant one. And all because the merging waste in the pit is not recycled in any way. Some of them are gradually absorbed into the soil, but most of the substances (including human waste products) remain at the bottom.

The second drawback of a cesspool stems directly from the first. You can't just take and dig a hole under the drain in any convenient place. There is an impressive list of restrictions on its placement, and all because around this place is constantly poisoning the soil. And this, in turn, means that at least there should be no wells with drinking water and agricultural crops nearby.

Finally, the third important drawback of any cesspool is not so much the need to clean it, but rather the complexity (and sometimes high cost) of this process. Experienced summer residents know that it is much better to use septic tanks that isolate sewage waste, and also allow their gradual processing and disposal.
