Shhhh...dont tell anyone... DIY Septic

[Music] thank you so hey guys welcome back today we're going to be working on something that uh I'm really not going to describe too much how I do it there's a bunch of it on YouTube so uh but I'm going to bring you along anyway uh it's a neat little project here's what we got going so I got a big mound of dirt right here and as we get closer you can see exactly what it's from [Music] I'm doing a little four 55 gallon drum septic system poop poop gray gray and I'm going to run probably 40 foot a lateral line out the end oh you know another thing I'm going to do here is you can see I have a two inch line here that ties into the very end I've got a valve here that's a little two-way valve instead of dumping you know what's basically gray water out of the gray water holding tank into the poop tank I'm going to go all the way down to the end and it's going to dump into the lateral line itself and all these will just be for for poopy water and then gray water so uh come along I'll show you a little bit of what we got going on on this [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] [Music] all right foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] straight away [Music] foreign [Music] you're going to want to have the outlet for each tank about an inch lower on each tank going downhill [Music] and I'm also going to want it to pick up the water the gray water in the middle of the tank so I'll make an extension for this to reach about halfway toilet paper will be on top and scum the bottom is going to be poop and then gray water will come into the middle into the next tank and the second tank I will make exactly the same way the third and the fourth are going to have a bunch of holes in it to Leach some of the water off and then it's going to go out to lateral lines [Music] thank you okay so here's basically what you have on the inside you have the poopy water in here and the gray water is going to come out here and go to the next tank and uh this one here is an inch inch lower so it could be water or any water can't really stagnate back on the the inlet side and the reason that I cut a hole here on the top is I want to put an extension up out of the ground with a clean out in it so I could um so I can check on it and if push comes to shove I have to get it sucked out I can call somebody and they can go right in here and suck this out [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] all right foreign [Music] um [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] so I need to get from here to there and there's not a lot of space in there and this is what's got to fit in there this little splitter valve and I have to come off the top with something oh I don't know maybe something like this here and then this side I'm going to have the two inch gray water come out and this side is going to elbowed over to the bigger pot just for black water so let's try to get something together on that real quick [Music] maybe something like that let's put that together and see how it fits [Music] so I know what you're thinking you're thinking Steve when you sell that somebody's not going to be able to hook up to an RV dump site well you know what I'm not ever going to sell it if I ever do sell the land this trailer is going to stay right here and it's going to go with the land so let's start sawing some more and actually I'll probably save this little poopy piece right here uh we'll throw it in the shop and then we can just put a coupler on it if I had to hook up one of those flexible drain hoses we'll see foreign [Music] curve to come over this way to this drain wished I hadn't a solid glue that because I can move it this way probably and slide it a hair I'm gonna have to do something like that I think I need to get it over so I can come in here right so if I come off the bottom with this 90 degree this um I think from that point maybe I can use um oh yeah yeah check this out yeah so that would work right I just got to lower this down just a hair right into the tank all right let's cut a little bit off this end [Music] all right so it looks good I know what you're thinking here too is today Steve that doesn't fit in there well they make this adapter that goes from a four inch to three inch and I'll have to get another one of these to put in here and then glue it together but hey that turned out pretty good right so let's see what we have to do with the gray water on this side to get over to here all right so to get this to there I don't have any 45s all I have is a 90. and here's the uh here's one of those four inch to three inch and then this has got a three inch to two inch adapter on the inside of it so I need another one of these to put on this side right here to go up in there but let's check this gray water one out so all I have is 90. so if I come off here with a 90 . you know what this is this is uh movable I can move this over here so if we came here and push this over to here I think that would work all right I think that'll fit let's glue this together foreign I didn't have that on there tight and it is dried up all right we'll have to go buy some of that okay we're back I got some glue and I actually talked to plumber Gilbert buddy of mine and he said what are you gluing all that for he goes that stuff doesn't need to be glued and he's probably right um since it's not under pressure but if I have to take it apart for whatever reason I'm just gonna I'll rebuild it back or whatever I'm not going to let this stuff just be loose in here so let's uh let's start putting it together [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music] okay so I like that I left it slip out here and here and off of here and this is just gray water I think that'll be okay and then again I'll just let this slip off here so I could take the whole thing off just in case so let's try it let's take the gray water and dump it let's look and see if we can hear this line dumping water move this to gray water full of Gray Water waste well that worked and it's not leaking oh perfect let's just empty that all out well you know what wait let's let's go ahead and dump let's check the poop side and let's see if that Black Water Works oh that's for sure working okay so I think I'll flush that tea out real quick into the black side with just a touch of the regular gray water real quick yeah and that's probably good all right beautiful okay so let's just go ahead and cover all this up and that'll be the finish off of this [Music] thank you [Music] [Music]
