How to make plumbing in the country with the use of

In this article we will look at how to make plumbing in the country with their own hands using materials that can be purchased at most specialty stores. The topic of building a water supply system in suburban construction sites is of considerable interest, since most of the dachas are not connected to a centralized water mains.

Meanwhile, even a temporary residence in the country can be considered comfortable only if there is always water in the tap and you can use the toilet connected to the sewage system. Considering the above, consider the methods and technologies that are applicable when building an autonomous water supply in the country.

Types of water sources for a country house

Before making the water supply system at the dacha, we will decide on the choice of the source that will satisfy the need for technical and drinking water.

To date, three types of source are commonly used that can be built with your own hands:

• Traditional mine well - water intake is carried out from surface horizons. As a rule, the shaft of a well in depth is no more than 10 meters, which is quite enough to find water.

Important: Given the surface location of the layers from which the fence is carried out, an effective system of coarse and fine cleaning will be required.

• The Abyssinian well is a type of well with a barrel that is only 1-1.5 in diameter.. This type of water intake structures is easy to manufacture, because this well can be built in one light day. As in the case of a conventional well, the Abyssinian well is shallow (less than 15 meters). Therefore, an effective system of water softening and purification from coarse suspensions is required.
• An artesian well is an excellent solution if you have enough money and are sensitive to the quality of the water used.. In this case, the well goes below the groundwater level, and therefore the water extracted from this depth is characterized by a high degree of purity. The only significant disadvantage of this solution is the need to obtain a license for the development and use of subsoil in accordance with SanPiN 2.1.4.1110-02.

Water supply through the operation of a traditional shaft well

If there is a question, what to do with the plumbing in the country with a small financial expenditure, a good solution would be to use a well. Consider the features of the construction of such a water supply system.

At the initial stage, we build a well, and then do the plumbing in the country with their own hands. For the formation of mines use special concrete rings. This method of construction of the mine will prevent the collapse of the walls and significantly extend the service life of the well.

Construction is carried out as follows:

• In the pre-selected area we draw a circle with a diameter of 20 cm larger than the diameter of the ring.
• Digging to a depth slightly less than the height of the ring.
• In the ring make a hole under the hose of the submersible pump.
• The ring is lowered into the pit so that it takes upright position.
• From above we establish the next ring and fasten it to the first ring with staples.
• Next, climb inside the structure and dig the ground to the depth of another ring.
• Helpers should pull the ground up with a bucket on a rope.
• Now we rake the earth out from under the walls of the ring and try to do it as gently as possible so that the rings go down vertically without falling down on one side.
• After you have installed 3-4 rings in this way, you can leave the mine for the night or for a day and see how much water is collected during this time. If the water level is more than 1 meter, dig enough. If there is less water, we dig and install 1-2 more rings.
• Next, pump out the collected water and make a natural filter out of coarse pebbles or rubble. The material is poured on the bottom with a layer of 15-20 cm.
• After the mine is ready, we dig a trench below the level of soil freezing from the well to the house.
• On the bottom of the trench pour a layer of crushed foam.
• A pipe is laid on top of the foam, which is connected at one end to the hose of the submersible pump and at the other end to the filter equipment.
• At the outlet from the filtering equipment, water can be fed directly into the system.

This water supply scheme is the simplest, but it suffers from such disadvantages as a small amount of water in the mine and a high probability of the well drying out as long-term operation takes place.

Water supply through the Abyssinian well

The instructions for the construction of autonomous water supply systems based on the Abyssinian well are an order of magnitude simpler than the construction of a traditional well.

The order of work is as follows:

1. Determine the area with the highest probability of occurrence of the aquifer at a depth of no more than 10 meters.

Important: You can get comprehensive information about the occurrence of the aquifer using the test drilling method. However, there is a simpler way - find out what kind of water supply the neighbors use. If someone is operating a well or a well in the immediate vicinity of your dacha, there is a high probability that there is water.

At the same stage, we determine the composition of the soil. The soil should be sandy with a low content of rubble. The fact is that it will be very difficult to punch the stony ground with your own hands.

1. We prepare boring accessories, among which:

• collection pipe (diameter 1-2) through which water will rise;
• couplings for pipe assembly;
• drill bit made of hardened steel;
• coarse filter, which at first will hold the clay suspensions;
• a valve that will pass water into the pipe, and will not release backward;
• fecal pump for the initial pumping of water with large clay inclusions.

1. Further, a downhole pipe with a tip is driven into the ground and is gradually built up with additional pipe lengths.
2. When the pipe reaches the horizon, turbid water is pumped out to relative enlightenment, which indicates that clay suspensions have been removed from the well.
3. Then, as in the case of a conventional well, the water supply system is arranged from the well to the house.

Artesian water supply

An artesian well is drilled until a powerful aquifer is located between the water-resistant layers. Thus, a properly opened horizon seems to be squeezed from above and below with waterproof layers. As a result, water gushes under high pressure and additional pumping equipment in most cases is not required.

By the way, an artesian well not only provides access to clean water, but is also characterized by long, effective work without the threat of drying out. In addition, these wells are characterized by increased maintainability and extremely insignificant seasonal fluctuations in the water level;

In most regions of the Russian Federation, artesian wells are drilled on sand or limestone using the rotor method. Rotary drilling is characterized by a relatively low price of the finished result and a short time to complete the entire project.

The method of drilling is called a rotor is not accidental, because the design of the drilling structure used a rotary mechanism responsible for the rotation of the drill pipe with a bit. The bit in the process of rotation destroys the rock, forming a well bore.

Along with this process, a special drilling mud is fed through the pipes to the rock. The solution performs several functions, namely, it cools the bit, softens the rock and washes out the selected rock from the well.

Unfortunately, it will not be possible to drill an artesian well yourself, as this requires a drilling rig and the participation of qualified specialists. In addition, we remind you that a device for carrying out such work is required for the installation of an artesian well for water.

Features of the construction of water supply

Once we have decided on how to equip the source of water supply and how to get the highway to the house, consider what materials you can build a home pipeline.

The range of pipes and fittings on the market can be divided into the following types according to the type of production material used:

• metal (steel, brass and copper) products;
• metal products;
• products from polypropylene.

What to choose from the above modifications? Taking into account the fact that pipes from ferrous metals, sooner or later, are oxidized, and copper products are expensive, polypropylene pipes and fittings are the best choice. These modifications are most often designed for installation using a welded joint.

On average, a system assembled from polypropylene pipes has served at least 50 years. In addition, the price of polypropylene systems is lower than the cost of similar metal structures.

Conclusion

So, we have listed the basic methods of arranging autonomous water supply systems in a country house. As a result, you can make the right decision by choosing the appropriate type of water supply.
