Plumbing Full course part 28


 

            In this Part of Full plumbing Course, We are going to learn about Sovent and Provent Systems in drainage.

The Sovent and Provents System was invented by Jeff Sauer (Sauer Soil Technologies) and is designed for use with concrete block and gravel drainages. It works by providing a path for excess water to travel down while keeping out unwanted debris and vegetation. The Provents System works in conjunction with the Sovent Drainage System.

There are three parts involved: the Sovent Valve, the Provent Insert and the Provent Rods. The Sovent Valve sits at the top of the pond and directs surface runoff into the lower section where it enters the Provent Insert. From there the water travels down through the Provent Rods before entering the Provent Reservoir, thus completing the loop. The result is a clean, clear flowing stream without any unwanted sediment.

Provents and Sovents have been tested to last over 25 years.

Sovent

Sovent is a porous medium created from recycled tires. It acts as a highly effective filter capable of retaining 99% of pollutants. The material is then sold to growers, who use it in their hydroponic systems. It is also commonly used in potting soils, as it retains moisture.
                Sovent is a low-cost and simple solution to draining water away from the root zone of your plants. Sovent is a clear plastic tube that is inserted into the hole of each pot. It sits just below the surface of the potting mix and works to prevent any excess moisture from entering the root zone.

Provent

Provents serve a similar purpose to a perforated drainpipe. However, they have a larger opening than a standard pipe and usually have a few holes along the length of them. Provents work best when installed near the top of the stem and help keep roots dry while providing air circulation.
                        Provent is a liquid product designed to drain away water from cannabis crops. It uses mesh technology to filter out unwanted particles. Its purpose is to keep the roots dry while providing a constant supply of oxygen. It works by using a series of small pores, similar to a sieve, which allow air and water to get past. However, they create a barrier preventing larger contaminants from passing through. Provents' effectiveness relies on its mesh size. The finer the mesh, the less surface area and smaller pore openings. Therefore, larger organisms tend to block off the mesh, making them ineffective. A high quality provent should have holes no larger than 0.005 inches.

                The Sovent & Provent System is a commercial grade product that consists of the following components: (1) a water-permeable membrane, (2) a reservoir bag, and (3) a collection container. The water-permeable membranes have micropores that allow liquid flow and prevent air flow. The reservoir bags are designed to hold 40 gallons of water. There are several different sizes of reservoir bags available; the size of your choice should depend upon how much water you require for your garden bed. A typical reservoir contains approximately 30 cubic feet of space inside. After each flush of water, the reservoir bag becomes saturated with water and releases the excess amount back into the ground. When the reservoir gets low enough, it signals the pump to turn off. Each time your reservoir runs out of water, you fill it again from your tap. Once the reservoir reaches its capacity, the pump shuts off automatically.

Provents are placed around the perimeter of the beds where your pots sit. The provents provide many uses including: (1) protection from heavy rain and snow, (2) maintaining moisture levels throughout the season, (3) preventing root rot in the soil, and (4) keeping weeds under control. There are three types of provents: (1) floating, (2) fixed, and (3) movable. Floating provents float in the topsoil and rest easily on the surface. Fixed provents are permanently installed around the edge of the garden bed, whereas movable provents are attached to posts and stakes. These provents are set in place at the beginning of the growing season and remain in place until they become depleted of their water supply. Provents are the perfect solution for growers who wish to avoid using chemical pesticides or herbicides during the growing season.

The Sovent and Provent system was developed by the Soma Labs team and utilizes the power of gravity to drain water away from the roots of the plants. This method helps promote even lighting conditions as well as increased air flow, which is especially important for CO2 cultivation.

The Sovent and Provent System in Drainage

Drainage is how water drains from a garden, yard, or field. Depending on where the water comes from, different systems could be used. There are two types of drainages; natural and artificial. When the water comes from groundwater, then the type of drainage will be determined by whether the land is solid or sandy. If the land is solid, then the drainage will be done naturally. In this case, the ground should be dug out and leveled, filled and planted. Water will begin to seep away from its original location. On the other hand, if the land is sandy, then it is recommended to use an irrigation method. These methods will allow the water to flow away from the area naturally, without having to dig the entire area out.

When the water comes from rain, then the type of system would depend on the amount of rainfall. If the rainfall is low, then we would recommend using a gravity system. A gravity system uses a sump pump or a ponding tank. Gravity is when the water flows down hill due to gravitational forces. This system works best in small yards or gardens. If the rainfall is high, then we would suggest using an above-ground system. This system keeps the water off the surface of the earth. We would use a ponding tank, a pressurized tank or a sub-surface drip system. All of these have their own pros and cons.

So what do all of these different systems mean? They all serve their purpose in draining away excess moisture from a landscape. However, they all have their advantages and disadvantages. In order to decide which system you want to use, it is important to know what kind of drainage you need. Also, understand the cost of each of the systems. The cost of the system will vary based on size, materials, and time. For example, the cost of a gravity system may range between $50-$100 depending on the size of the yard/garden. Meanwhile, an above-ground system may cost around $500-$1000.

The sovent and provent system is a popular method of draining the water out of a greenhouse, while still providing fresh air at a low humidity level. Sovents are placed along a wall, usually on the bottom level of a greenhouse, with the provents being placed above them. These devices open windows that allow cool air to flow downward through the greenhouse; however, they do not allow warm air to enter the space. Provents are placed on top of the sovents to ensure proper ventilation. The use of these systems helps reduce condensation on glass surfaces inside the greenhouse, prevents mildew on the glass, and maintains optimal temperatures.

A svent (also known as vent) is a pipe attached to a toilet that carries treated sewage away from a house's septic tank. Provents are similar pipes, except they carry raw sewage to a sewer line where it eventually goes to a treatment facility. Svsents and provents are often referred to as drain vents.

The Sovent and Provent (S&P) system was developed for both commercial and residential applications in the 1980's. S&P systems consist of two main components; the sewer vent and sump pump.

Sewer vents are an integral part of any plumbing system because they help remove unwanted water from the drain line. Without them, water would build up inside pipes until the pressure becomes too great and causes damage to the pipe network. Sewer vents are located at various points throughout your house to ensure proper drainage. When installed properly, they should not cause a backflow problem, where sewage is discharged back into the building’s water supply.

Sump pumps are connected to the drains and provide continuous flow to prevent stagnation. They work by pulling air into the basin using either siphon action or float action. Sump pumps are designed to operate continuously regardless of how much water is present in the tank. This ensures that the sump pump operates whenever necessary to keep your basement dry.

There are several advantages to using a S&P system over conventional plumbing methods. First, the S&P system provides continuous flow of water, making the system less likely to clog and causing fewer repair bills than traditional plumbing. Second, the S&P plumbing reduces the amount of standing water in basements, making them drier and healthier places to live. Third, most S&P systems use no electricity and require little maintenance. In fact, the best S&P systems actually require less maintenance than their conventional counterparts. Finally, the costs associated with maintaining a S&P system are significantly lower than buying additional equipment.

To maintain a S&P system, check the plumbing regularly for leaks. If you notice any signs of trouble, contact a licensed plumber immediately. Also make sure to clean debris out of the grates periodically, especially if they have been sitting idle for a long period of time.

The Sovent and Provent system is designed to prevent backflow of water from toilet tanks into sinks and tub faucets. It consists of two components: the tank valve (T-valve) and the overflow tube. The T-valve is inserted into the bottom of a sink or tub; it includes a check valve which prevents fluid flow in only one direction. When the toilet flushes, the flush handle opens the check valve, releasing pressure inside the tank and causing water to fill the tank and enter the drain line connected to the drain pipe. When the tank fills, the float rises, closing the check valve. After about 15 minutes, the float drops below the top of the valve and closes the valve again, preventing any additional water from entering the drain line until the tank empties. If the toilet tank overflows before the tank is completely empty, excess water may spill out of the tank. To prevent this, a second valve called an overflow tube may be installed. This valve extends down into the floor near the base of the bowl and contains a spring-loaded plunger. If the tank becomes full before the T-Valve closes, the plunger forces open the overflow tube, thus relieving some of the excess water pressure. As soon as the tank begins to empty, the float lowers and releases the plunger, thus preventing unnecessary flooding.

The Sovent and Provent system in sewerage (SPIS) was designed to control wastewater volume and quality, and to prevent its contamination with sewage and human pathogens. There are two basic components of SPIS:

• the first one consists of a mechanical device called'sovent' (the name means 'to ventilate') which controls the speed and direction of water flow; and

• the second one consists of a biological purification system based on natural processes.

This system works on the principle of separation between wastewater and air at the surface of the ground where microorganisms act as catalysts for decomposing organic matter. By controlling the time interval between wastewater discharges, the quantity and quality of effluents are controlled.

Sovent's Principle

In order to understand how the sovent works, we have to consider some facts about wastewater and air. Air provides oxygen necessary for microbial activity while waste contains various substances that are not suitable for use by these organisms. These substances cannot be completely removed by using chemical agents or flushing them out of pipes. Therefore, the only way to reduce their concentration is to keep them suspended in the liquid phase. To achieve this goal, the sovent uses a special design of nozzles that mix the incoming wastewater with air and then spray it over the ground. At the same time, the sovent increases the velocity of the wastewater stream to ensure an adequate mixing ratio of air and water.

Provent's Principle

Provent (or proventriculus) is a cylindrical chamber placed above the sovent's nozzle array. Its purpose is to provide a habitat for bacteria that live in sewerage and produce enzymes that break down organic matter present in the incoming wastewater. Thus, the proventriculus reduces the sludge content of raw wastewater discharged from the sewerage.

Provent's Effectiveness

According to scientific studies, the sovent and provent system in sewers prevents the spread of many types of bacteria and viruses causing typhoid fever, cholera and dysentery. Moreover, the system is effective in reducing the concentrations of toxic compounds such as ammonia, phosphates and nitrates in the wastewater.
