Abyssinian well to solve water problems at a country site

In any case, in the territory intended for individual construction, sooner or later it is necessary to solve the problem with water. The optimal solution is to make the Abyssinian well with your own hands, since its design is relatively simple. In addition, the work is quite possible to hold in one day.

In general terms about the design

This water extraction system is a well whose diameter is only a few centimeters. A hole in the ground can be created by drilling or hammering. At the end of the pipe is a special tip with a filter, making the process of drowning in the ground easier.

List of major benefits

Before listing the main advantages of such a well, it should be noted that the possibility of using water as drinking water does not depend on the depth at all. Very often, the liquid that is closer to the surface, on the chemical composition is cleaner.

Therefore, after the completion of the work it is necessary to do an analysis on the content of heavy metals and other substances.

• The relatively low price provides the ability to create similar structures to many social strata of the population.
• Quite high speed and ease of penetration allows you to do without bulky equipment.
• Ecological cleanliness is also among the advantages, because a well-made well prevents penetration of the upper water deposits.
• If necessary, an Abyssinian well can be arranged in winter, but operation should be carried out only in a heated room.
• For the construction of this water source does not require a special permit, which can not be said about the artesian well.
• This design can be dismantled without much difficulty and installed elsewhere.

Note! Cons of the Abyssinian well can be counted on the fingers. The main disadvantage can be considered that the creation of such a well requires specific geological conditions of the area.

Basic prerequisites for the device

Before carrying out work to create a source of this type, it is necessary to know the location of the soil layers and the boundary of the water layers in a particular region. The structure of the soil can vary significantly even at a small distance, so on-site study is required. Water can be in almost any type of soil, but only through the sand it penetrates freely, which means it can only be pumped out of it.

Volume of liquid supplied

First of all, the performance of the Abyssinian well depends on the thickness of the aquifer, and not on the diameter of the pipe and the distance made. If it is possible to completely build the system, then the saturation will be from 0.6 to 3 cubic meters per hour, which is equivalent to 10-50 liters per minute.

Independent work

In the course of work, the installation site is determined, after which the complete set for the Abyssinian well is made. The entire system must be immersed in earth cover to the required level. When delivering liquid to the top, there are no difficulties if the water cores are located at a depth of 5-8 meters.

Main deepening equipment

• Metal rod in the form of a rod with a diameter of 16 to 22 mm. As you dig in, this fixture can be easily extended so that the blows fall directly on the tip of the filter part. In this regard, the threaded joints of the elements experience only tensile load, without being subjected to deformation.
• The headstock is a special device that transmits a shock load completely on the trunk of the product.. Such inventory may have a hole or insert. In the first case, a guide tube is formed, which is sealed from above tightly.
• TAlso at the initial stage you will need a drill for the Abyssinian well to go deep into the earth before the quicksand. Garden counterpart is considered to be ineffective, so it is better to make a frame tool. A tire made of 440 mm carbon steel may be used for it.

Additional tool for work

• A sledgehammer for powerful blows to the above devices.
• The hammer is usually used for minor tamping of elements and other simple operations.
• With the help of the grinder, the pipes are cut into separate components suitable for installation.
• The drill will be needed to make the perforation on the bottom side in order to get a kind of filter.
• The welding machine is useful for fixing individual parts of the system.

Building components

Although the kits for the Abyssinian well may be slightly different, but it all comes down to several elements that are quite realistic to make yourself. The following is an exemplary home-made structure.

All fragments, if desired, can be found without too much difficulty.

• Galvanized pipes are used as a baseline.
• Rubber seals are needed to seal the joints.
• Silicone couplings are used to combine elements of the system.
• The filter is formed after drilling small holes in the bottom of the pipe.
• A steel tip is required to facilitate hammering in.
• With the help of a hand pump or a vacuum electric device, water is taken.

Addition! If necessary, many craftsmen make to order a ready-made kit - an Abyssinian well in full assembly. However, this option will have to spend extra cash.

The procedure for the device

In order for the technology of the Abyssinian well to be realized with its own hands, it is necessary to study the sequence of the main operations performed when the system is immersed inwards. Adhering to a certain schedule, you can carry out work quickly and efficiently.

1. At the initial stage, a small diameter well is drilled using a conventional drill with additional elbows. A similar operation continues until the quicksand falls.
2. After reaching the goal, the tool is removed from the well, and instead a steel tip with perforation is placed inside. A clutch and connecting pipe is wound on top.
3. Next, you can make an additional filter from the fraction of fine gravel or marble chips, pouring the material inside. Due to this, the system will not be silted during use.
4. Near the trunk pipe soil is well compacted. If there is a need, then pour the earth. Using the main inventory, the pipe is precipitated down.
5. Clogging the tip continues to the aquifer. The length is increased by pieces of galvanized elements. The fluid level should rise to an upper limit of approximately 50-100 cm.
6. The filter of the well is rinsed off of clay, for which water is pumped into the interior under pressure. After these works, a pump is installed for the Abyssinian well using a flange.
7. At the final stage, pumping out turbid water until complete clarification. Also carried out the final work related to the connection of communications.

Attention! Prepared kits for Abyssinian wells must meet all requirements, otherwise cracks and fractures may form when submerged under the ground.

In conclusion

The presented instruction tells how to block the Abyssinian well without professional help, while using plain objects and accessories. A visual introduction to the process will help provide a video in this article.
