Plumbing in the bath - we make the rest as comfortable as

Having a bath at the dacha would not be refused by any person - this is an ideal place not so much for simple washing as for relaxation, and no one has canceled the healing effect. The only problem is how to properly organize the supply of water, still running with buckets and basins is a dubious pleasure.

General principles of the design of plumbing in the bath

In order that the water supply system with its own hands served in the bath for several years and in the process there would be no complications:

• decide on the source of water intake;
• decide whether the bath will be used exclusively in the warm season or provides year-round use. For example, in the first case, you can not worry too much about the depth of the pipe - for the winter it will be enough just to preserve the water supply system by running water out of it;
• the following can be called the design stage, when the design position of the pipes is indicated on the real scheme of the suburban area. It is advisable not to cross any other communications;
• further excavation, pipe laying and distributing them are already inside the bath.

If the bath itself is located not far from the house, and the house has a centralized water supply, then you can simplify the task a bit and organize water supply directly from the house. In this case, you can do without the pump.

Hot water will not be superfluous in the bath, after all, after the steam room it will be pleasant to wash off the sweat under a warm stream, and the thrill-seekers will always be able to shower with ice water. Most often in the baths just installed a boiler for heating water.

Note! As an option, you can consider installing a heating register in the furnace, then the bath will be completely independent of the electricity supply.

More information about the organization of water supply

When solving the problem of how to make a water supply system in a bathhouse, one of the most important issues is the choice of a water source. There shouldn't be any special difficulties with laying and distributing pipes - you can use a conventional PP pipeline with a solder joint.

Water source selection

In this matter, it all depends on the distance of the dacha from civilization. So, if the holiday village is equipped with all the necessary communications (cold and hot water supply, etc.), then it is possible to arrange water supply to the bath directly from the apartment building. If the water supply is independent, then it will be necessary to organize the supply of water from a well or a well, each of these methods has its own characteristics.

Bath water supply from a well:

• it looks economically justified only if its depth does not exceed 5–10 meters; with increasing depth over 10–15 m, the price of a well begins to grow exponentially. It is also necessary to take into account that the water in it is subject to pollution from the outside - leaves, branches, etc., so that one cannot do without a filter;
• the construction of the well is quite simple; concrete rings can be used to strengthen the walls (a thorn-groove connection system);
• his device does not require documentation;
• excavation is impossible to mechanize, so you have to work a shovel.

If the water supply to the bathhouse from the house is impossible to carry out, and it is unprofitable to arrange a well on the site, then the well may be the only way out. The main difference from the well is the depth and diameter of the hole in the ground.

And if the well can be dug manually, then the well can not do without special equipment, there are also a number of other features:

• the water in the well is clean enough so that it can be used for water supply at home;
• well is more difficult to maintain;
• for her device will have to talk with relevant environmental organizations.

Note! A well on the sand is a rather controversial option for water supply. The fact is that the filter is very quickly clogged with sand. There is also a risk that there is an increased concentration of radon gas in the territory, it is impossible to detect this without appropriate equipment, and irreparable harm will be caused to health.

Pipeline laying

It is desirable that the water supply project does not overlap with other communications, this will only complicate the installation process, and even with the repair of the pipe, difficulties may arise.

The key difference in laying pipes for summer and year-round bath water supply is in the depth of the water pipeline:

• if the water supply is necessary only in the summertime, then there is no sense to lay the pipes below the freezing depth, a trench depth of about 40-60 cm will suffice;
• if the bath will be used even in winter, the instruction requires that the depth of frost penetration in the region be taken into account.

Note! Water is taken from a well or a well below the depth of frost penetration, the branch approaches the bath and rises to the structure in this segment. That is, approximately 1.0-1.5 m of the pipe remains defenseless before the frost, it is recommended to warm this part of the pipe, otherwise even in 3-4 hours the frost will have time to grab water.

Also pay attention to the discharge of water during the preservation of the pipeline. If the water supply is carried out, for example, from a well, then it is possible that one part of the water is discharged into the well itself, and some into the sewer system. Although other options are possible.

In order for the water supply system to the bath in winter not to be damaged due to the expansion of the water frozen in it, it is imperative that water be drained from the system. For this purpose, the pipes are laid with a slope towards the discharge point. In order to drain the water, simply open the tap and wait until the water stops flowing from the pipe.

If the trouble still happened, and the pipe gave a leak, and the repair is currently impossible (for example, it happened in winter), then you can use a bandage on the water pipe. This device is put on the pipe, bolted down and the flow is securely blocked. Of course, this should be considered solely as a temporary measure.

The organization of the shower in the bath

After the steam room, not everyone is happy to jump into a snowdrift or pour over icy water. Many just want to wash the sweat from the body under the shower with a comfortable temperature of water. So without a shower, the bath will be a little inferior. And it is not at all necessary to organize a separate branch to it, when it comes to how to make a shower in a bath without running water, you can solve this issue with minimal cost.

A shower without running water will work according to the following scheme:

• at ground level there is a decent sized tank;
• from it water is pumped into a tank located in the attic. If desired, you can organize water heating with electricity or stove;
• water is discharged directly into the ground (permissible when using the shower by one person) or into the drain hole if it is located nearby.

Summarizing

To organize the right bathhouse at the dacha is a task that can be solved completely. The layout of pipes inside the room is slightly different from the layout in the apartment; the same type of pipes is used as, for example, when installing a heating system or a water supply system in a house.

So the main attention should be paid to the details - in particular, the possibility of operating the bath in the winter time and the water source. The proposed material focuses attention on these trifles.
