Plumbing on the site: all aspects of construction and some

At the beginning of life in the country, most of us have an urgent question: how to run water at the summer cottage. After all, few will now arrange regular walks with buckets to the nearest well. You can equip the supplying system in your possession yourself. This is our article.

Components of the plumbing system

The autonomous supply system consists of the following elements:

• water source;
• pipeline;
• pump and related equipment;
• devices that control the pressure in the network;
• electrical system;
• filters for cleaning and purification of water;
• water heater;
• water consumers: sanitary devices, sinks, sinks, washing machines, etc.

Note! The degree of complexity of a private water supply network and the composition of its elements are influenced not only by the needs and wishes of the landlord. Here the properties of the relief, the planned type of water intake and other factors are important.

Centralized water supply

When a centralized backbone with enough pressure passes around your property, then it will be easy to lay the water supply system at the summer cottage with your own hands.

Here it will be necessary to lay the inner and outer parts of the pipeline, then connect it to the line. When the pressure (pressure) is not enough, you will need to connect an additional pump or look for an alternative water intake.

Mine well as a water source

1. When the depth of the water lens found in your area is not more than 10 m, it is best to use a well with a surface pump as a water intake structure.
2. Its advantages are simplicity of arrangement, low cost of construction, the possibility of servicing in the home. Cons: limited amount of water accumulation, often - its low quality.
3. On this basis, before digging a well, you should take a sample of water for analysis and calculate whether it is enough for your daily needs.

Aquifer well

1. If the aquifer in the area lies deeper than 10 m, it is best to drill a well to collect fluids.
2. For pumping resource, it is equipped with pumping equipment.
3. This type of water intake is more expensive than a well, but its cost pays off. The well can be operated for many years, without problems and in any period of the year.

Based on the depth of the water, you can swing it using such devices:

• surface pump - if the resource is located not lower than 8 m;
• submersible analogue - with a depth of water up to 20 m;
• pumping station - if the aquifer is below 20 m.

Types of systems

The easiest way to do summer water in the garden with their own hands. It can be used without problems, extra cash and labor costs at the height of the summer season. The network can be fixed or collapsible.

Summer network

Laying of hoses or pipes of a seasonal network is made by two methods.

1. Water pipe runs along the surface of the earth. The main advantage of the solution is the ability to quickly lay pipes and dismantle them at the end of the season. The disadvantage is frequent system crashes. Laying pipes, provide for the possibility of free water in all parts of the territory.

Note! The main purpose of the summer water supply is watering plants. Often it is made of garden hoses. They mate with each other with plastic or metal adapters. At the end of the season, the water is drained, the hoses are removed and put into the shed, as well as the pump.

1. Plastic pipes are shallowly laid in the ground (no more than 1 m). On its surface, only wiring with taps remains. Such a network device is more reliable, it does not interfere with the operation of the problem. So that the pipes do not fail, before the onset of the winter season the water from them must be drained. To this end, when installing the network with your own hands, you need to do it with a slight bias. At the very bottom of the system, a valve should be installed to freeze, the water does not tear the pipes.

Arrangement of the winter analog

If the plumbing will be used year-round, its design should be much more serious. Such a network should have a capital scheme that is operational during all seasons of the year. The pipeline network must be insulated from the water intake to the boiler.

The question arises as to which pipes for water supply at the summer cottage, in this case, should be preferred.

At the moment, there are three options.

1. Polypropylene analogues. Their cost is quite high, to pair the network elements you need a special soldering iron. However, you can save on fittings. In this case, the interface elements of the system are extremely tight.

1. Polyethylene pipes. They themselves cost less, but there will have to spend extra money on accessories for mounting the network. At the same time, the joints often occur at temperature drops.
2. Iron and steel pipes are now obsolete. They have an extremely low degree of rust resistance.

So that the network in the winter period is not out of order, it should be warmed. This can be done using rolled polyethylene foam. It is necessary to insulate not only the pipeline, but also the water source.

So, the well for the winter period surely should be warmed. If you put a surface pump, equip for it a cold-proof pit.

Water supply scheme

The laying of the water supply system at the site is a serious process and requires preliminary planning and design.

1. First of all, measurements are made on the ground, the position of communications is marked, the exact amount of water consumption is determined.
2. Next, create drawings, diagrams of the pipeline and the necessary equipment.
3. On their basis, everything is purchased.
4. When designing a pipeline, be sure to consider that it must have a slope to the water source.
5. In the area in which the ground freezes over during the winter, pipes should be laid below this level, at a minimum, by 20 cm.

System arrangement

1. Initially, excavation work is carried out, that is, a trench is being excavated from the water intake to the entrance of the pipe into the building.
2. Next, the pump of the submersible type is lowered into the well or well, the surface analogue is placed near the water intake in the heated pit, the pumping station is settled in the house itself or in a separate warm room.
3. Then the control and control equipment for the pipeline and the pump is mounted.
4. After that, you can start laying the network itself and dilute it to the points of water consumption.

Note! For powering the pump, battery, and related equipment, you must run a secure cable. At arrangement of any type of water supply it is necessary to secure the electrical network as much as possible. On this basis, sealed connectors and grounded sockets should be used.

1. Before entering the water supply pipe to the building, an emergency shut-off valve should be installed.

1. After checking the network operability, you can dig a trench and begin to equip the inside of the system.

Some legal aspects

If you plan to connect the water supply system to the main network, you will need to issue a number of documents.

Documents required to connect to the “Vodokanal” highway

Joining new sections of the water supply network to the municipal water supply system requires the following.

1. Obtaining technical specifications (technical conditions) for connection or information about the connection fee and technical ability to connect the object to the public water supply network and lead.
2. Registration with the local "Vodokanal" agreement to connect to its system.
3. Coordination in the appropriate instance of project documents.
4. Conclusion of a contract for the implementation of technical supervision.

1. Coordination of all earthworks.
2. Acceptance by specialists in the operation and sealing of gauges.
3. Providing the executive bodies of executive documents.
4. Conclusion of a contract with "Vodokanal" for water consumption and sewage disposal.
5. Obtaining permission to use water for a private section of the network.

If you can not do without laying pipes on someone else's site

Often users ask: “my water supply system passes through a neighbor’s section, what if he demands to dismantle it?”

In this case, you will be serviced.

1. This is, in fact, one of the types of rental properties. Lawyers define it as the right to limited use of another’s property or object recognized by law.
2. The servitude can be issued on a permanent or urgent basis.
3. It is concluded by mutual consent of the parties, a court decision, or in accordance with the law.
4. The contract is executed in the manner prescribed for the registration of rights to real estate.

Articles No. 274/277 of the Civil Code of Russia establish the following.

1. The owner of a land plot has the right to demand from the owner of the neighboring territory to give him the opportunity to use it limitedly (private servitude).

The provision is valid for:

• arranging the passage and passage through the adjacent plot of land;
• installation and use of communication lines, power transmission lines, as well as pipelines;
• if I equip the land plumbing on my site - the servitude is suitable for this.

Other needs of the owner of the site, which cannot be provided without the execution of such a contract, are considered in a separate order.

1. The basis for concluding a servitude is an agreement between a citizen, demanding its establishment and the owner of the neighboring territory.
2. If agreement on the conclusion of the terms of the contract cannot be reached, the dispute should be resolved in a court of law on the suit of a citizen who needs a servitude.
3. The encumbrance of a plot of land with such a contract does not deprive its owner of the rights of ownership, use and disposal of this territory.

Note! The owner of the site with an established servitude has the right to demand from the person with whom the contract was concluded, a reasonable rent for the use of his land. At the request of the owner of the territory burdened with the servitude, the agreement may be terminated if the grounds for which it was concluded disappear.

Conclusion

Arrangement of plumbing on a country site - a vital process. To approach its construction and legal registration should be extremely serious.
