Hi all,
I'm pouring a new floor for our cider facility and have bought about 50' of presloped ACO drain. The drain will have 5 drop outs, connecting to plumbing below the slab. I wasn't exactly sure what to do with the effluent, but my best idea is to have the plumbing discharge into a septic field built just for the trench drain (i.e. With no tank, and with no ties to any sewage, or any other sort of effluent). What do others do? Any comments on this plan? My other question is whether I should install p-traps for each drop out, or maybe a single p-trap downstream from all dropouts. I have pro and con thoughts. In favour of p-traps,, I don't want any smells wafting up from further down the pipe, or from the septic field where the effluent is dispersed. Against this idea, i also don't want stuff growing in the p-traps themselves, creating smells and unwanted microbiology. Any advice out there?
Thanks,
Mike
