Water supply

How to spend water in the country? You can dig a well, but it will be shallow, and the water is bad. Or get water from the depths by drilling a well and installing a pumping station. Another way is to install pumping equipment and pipes for water supply in the well. Or crash into a centralized water supply. Let's talk about the types of water pipes, equipment for their devices and learn how to do all the work.

What are the water pipes

Connecting the pipeline to the existing network

There are two types of suburban water pipes:

  • Centralized;
  • Decentralized.

Centralized is a type of water supply in which the supply of water is ensured by a pipeline running through the territory of the holiday village. This is a simple way, it does not require additional expenditure of forces and resources. You crash into such a water supply and pay for water consumption at the rate.

Decentralized water supply

Decentralized. When it is set up, they drill a well or look for other ways to extract water. If there is a reservoir nearby, a pump is installed in it. This type of water supply will require the purchase of additional equipment: a pump, pipelines to supply water to the house, a filtering system, and other devices specified in the instructions.

Summer water supply

Water pipes are of summer and winter types. Summer is placed on the surface of the earth, when the cold comes, then roll up and hide in the room. Winter must be buried in the ground so that they do not freeze during a cold snap. If you do not insulate them, then pipes should be laid below the depth of freezing of the ground cover. After all, a frozen water conduit will be difficult to defrost in the winter, even worse when it blows a pipe under the ground.

Where to begin?

Counting the number of materials

It is necessary to draw up a detailed scheme of the water supply system, this must be done before the construction of the house - this will facilitate the work. If the house is already built and you decide that you need to carry out a water supply system, then you must follow the rules. First of all, find the source of water (for this there are a large number of ways and devices). The next stage is the design of the water supply system and it begins with measuring the route of the system. Then we transfer the measurements to paper and make a drawing of the conduit. In the drawing should be marked all the places that are water communications, all nodes of water supply and installation, transporting water to the room. It is necessary to calculate the depth of the trench where the water will pass so that the pipe does not freeze in winter. You also need to consider the slopes to the well.

Installation of water supply

Installation of water supply

The water supply scheme has been drawn up, all the materials and components have been bought - we are starting the installation. To install the water supply correctly, you need to calculate the amount of water that we need per day. It is necessary to install a waterworks directly in the vicinity of the water source; it can be either in the house itself (in the basement, for example) or on the street.

The station should be insulated so that during the frost there is no rupture of pipes or tank.

We lower the submersible pump into the well and fix it securely. We carry out pipelines to the station of water supply, before that we warm them. Then we bring the water line, also warming it. For operation in the winter, install a drain valve to remove water from the system. It is important to conduct its timely inspection. You can also install filters to improve water quality.

Water analysis

During the construction of water supply should take care of the cleanliness of the water. To do this, you will need to take a sample and take it to the appropriate authority. After analysis, you will find out whether it is possible to use this water. Let the water systems in your homes add to your comfort.
