Arrangement of water wells with their own hands

In order to have an unlimited amount of clean and free water in your area, you should drill and arrange the well on the water with your own hands. In addition to earthworks, the correct selection and installation of the necessary equipment, which will ensure uninterrupted and complete supply of H₂About in all points of consumption of your home. The features of this process we consider in this article.

Cooking

First of all, it is necessary to understand the purpose of all the structural elements of the water supply system and, accordingly, to prepare them.

Caisson

This element is a spacious barrel-shaped sealed container to protect equipment performing the work of the well from humidity and temperature extremes. Its dimensions are usually two meters in height and one in diameter (see also the article Designing a well in the country - how to improve the water intake).

Possible materials of production:

1. Stainless steel. It is recommended for installation in places with high intensity of flood waters where increased strength is required.

1. Aluminum. Due to its lower weight, it is easier to install.

1. Plastic. The price of this product is the lowest.

1. Concrete. The laborious, but possessing the greatest durability a design.

Tip: in the presence of high-quality insulated basement, you can put all the necessary equipment in it. This will reduce labor and financial costs.

Deep well pump

Drilling and development of water wells will make sense only if there is a high-quality pump. For a sandy horizon, a pumping station may well be suitable, but if you are targeting the artesian aquifer, then you cannot do without a submersible.

Criteria for choosing the right one:

1. Power. Must meet the needs of all possible points of consumption: sink, toilet, bath, watering the garden, washing machine and dishwasher.

Tip: however, it is recommended that the pump capacity be less than the production capacity of the well. In the opposite case, the amount of water will not have time to recover, the device will begin to work in a dry and burned, since the cooling of the engine is due to the water flow.

1. Pillar head height. An error in calculating this parameter can leave your house without any water supply.

It is calculated as follows:

• To the height of the building we add 6 m.
• The resulting value is multiplied by the coefficient of pressure loss during the passage of the aqueduct, which is equal to 1.15.
• We add the depth of the mine to the water mirror.
• We take into account the distance of the well from the house, taking into account the fact that one meter vertically is equal to ten meters horizontally.

Accumulator

Purpose of this equipment:

• Regulation of fluid pressure in the system.
• Providing a minimum supply of fluid as a result of equipment failure.
• Protection against water hammer.

The range of volumes ranges from ten to a thousand liters.

Cap

This seemingly unremarkable item performs the following functions:

• Protection of the well from debris, precipitation and melt water.
• Limiting the penetration of oxygen inside, contributing to corrosive processes.
• Fixing the cable supporting the pump.

The cost of arranging a well for water for the most part consists of the amount spent on all of the above equipment.

Installation

Arrangement of water wells with their own hands requires care, accuracy and accuracy of performance. Only then can you freely enjoy drinking water for many years (also read the article Well in the country with your own hands: tips on drilling and improvement).

Instruction:

1. We dig a pit for installing a caisson with a depth of at least two meters. It is imperative that the design is obtained below the level of soil freezing. The casing pipe is located in the middle.

1. In the bottom of the container we make a hole corresponding to the supply pipe.
2. We lower the caisson down and connect the outlet pipe with an electric cable.
3. Fill with earth so that only the cover is left on the surface.
4. We fasten a plastic pipe to the pump, sealing it with flax, a power cable, protecting it from moisture with heat shrinkage, and a steel cable.
5. The resulting track of the three elements is fastened with the help of special clamps.

1. We immerse the device so that it is below the water level, but one meter above the bottom.
2. We make sealing by mounting the tip.

1. We install the hydroaccumulator so that there is an access to maintenance. Rubber seals protect the sides so as not to cause damage from impacts against the walls with possible vibration.
2. We use the water supply system.

Conclusion

After drilling, the well must be properly equipped. This includes the installation of elements such as a caisson, submersible pump, tip, and hydroaccumulator. Proper fulfillment of all technical requirements guarantees you uninterrupted operation of the entire water supply system (also learn how to drill a well in soft ground).
