Proper functioning of the sewage system is essential for both households and public buildings. Unfortunately, along with improperly functioning sewage installation, unpleasant odors appear, water suction is not complete, and there is also the problem of gurgling. What does this mean and how important is the selection of the right aerator?

Causes of gurgling in the sewer system
The appearance of unpleasant odors, gurgling in the pipes, but also the lack of drainage can cause many problems. The problem with sewage, contrary to appearances, affects not only older buildings, but also new ones.
Already at the construction stage, it is important to remember how important the design is, but also the use of the right materials. Water supply networks and connections require, among other things, the use of filters with a collar settling tank. You can also decide on a mesh filter. The sewage pipe is also important, even if it is made of PVC or PE lock type. There can be many reasons for gurgling in the sewage system.
One of them is the suction of water from the drain pipes. In addition, there may also be a narrowing in the pipes, their blockage or a heavily contaminated siphon, in which a small clearance is created, which in turn leads to the occurrence of negative pressure. Even if the water goes down, it does not mean that the siphon is working properly. The interior of the sewage riser may be clogged. Water may also be sucked out as a result of a sudden change in pressure.
How to get rid of gurgling in the sewer?
Both internal and external sewage must work properly, so the air valve plays an important role. Of course, you should check whether the siphon is not clogged, and also whether the pipes in the installation drain water without obstruction. If there is a problem with gurgling in the sewage system, then it is absolutely necessary to take appropriate measures.
Otherwise, the problem may worsen and water stagnation may occur, but also its penetration into the sink. An unpleasant smell may appear throughout the building. When unclogging the pipes, you must definitely use appropriate means. If the problem is minor, it is enough to make a solution of vinegar and water, which will dissolve the blockage that has formed in the pipes. However, it may turn out that the water still remains.
In this case, you need to choose an aerator that works on negative pressure and eliminates the problem of clogging. It is installed inside the building above the level. This means that it should be located at the highest sanitary fixture, i.e. the sink. The valve lets air into the sewage riser. The operation is not complicated. This means that every time we turn on the water, it starts to move in the pipes. Then the aerator introduces air.
Selecting the right aerator for water supply systems
Thanks to the proper functioning of the sewage system, there is no stagnation of water or gurgling. The quality of the pipes also plays a very important role. You also have to remember to choose the right aerator. The criteria are the speed of filling the pipe, the amount of air and the pressure of the pipe collapse. You can't forget about the resistance of the pipeline.
Therefore, if there is gurgling, it may mean that air is being sucked into the system when the water is below the axis. The sewer aerator must have the correct diameter. It should be equal to or close to the diameter of the pipe to which it will be connected. The diameter of the vacuum pipe cannot be reduced.
