Seasonal water supply and its features

The need for seasonal water supply may arise for various reasons, for example, it is necessary to carry out a watering system in the garden or to provide water from a well to a country house. Using such a system allows you to make the site more comfortable, save time and effort. Below we take a look at the main features of the device summer water supply.

General information

Summer water supply is an excellent option for seasonal living in the country, as its installation requires much less time and money.

Moreover, it can be used in the same way as a stationary system, for example, for:

• Household appliances;
• All types of plumbing;
• Swimming pool;
• Irrigation systems, etc.

The only drawback of the summer system is that it cannot be used in the winter. Of course, it is easier to build and its price is much lower, but at the same time, such a pipeline is less durable.

Water supply source

Before proceeding to the device of the summer water supply system, it is necessary to determine the source of water supply.

It may be:

• Central highway;
• Well or well;
• Natural pond.

Below we take a closer look at the peculiarities of using these water sources.

Central water supply

This option is the most convenient to use. The only thing you need to connect to the central highway. To do this under pressure, i.e. Without blocking the water, use a special invoice tee.

This device is mounted on the entry point and tightened with bolts. After installing the tee for pipes, a ball valve is connected to it, through which a hole is drilled with a drill. As soon as the hole is completed, the drill should be pulled out and the tap closed.

Wells

If there is a well on the site, you will need a special pump to arrange the water supply. Moreover, the choice of equipment depends on the depth of the well.

If, for example, a sand well is made in the area, with a depth of up to 10 meters, you can use a conventional outdoor pump, as for a well. The only thing in this case will additionally be required to install filtration equipment. The same applies to the use of the well.

If the well is artesian, a more expensive submersible pump will be required. This equipment is lowered into the well itself, so specialists should deal with its connection.

Water

The reservoir is suitable for supplying water to the irrigation system. In addition, this water can be used for other technical purposes, however, you will need another source for drinking. To supply water from the reservoir will need a special pump for pumping water.

Note! When choosing a pump should pay attention to its power and performance. The more sources of water consumption, the more powerful the equipment needed.

Types of summer water supply

Before you make a summer water supply with your own hands, you need to decide on its type.

He might be:

• Folding;
• Incomplete.

Below we take a closer look at the features of both types of systems.

Folding

In this case, the pipes or hoses are located on the surface of the earth. The easiest way to assemble such a system is from rubber or silicone hoses, connecting them together with special adapters.

Tip! Special clamps are available for sale, which have a ribbed cone on one side, which is inserted into the hose, and on the other, an elastic connector. Due to this, it is possible to connect or disconnect the hoses with one hand movement.

Among the advantages of such a system are:

Of course, the collapsible pipeline has some disadvantages:

• Pipes often interfere with movement, as they lie on the surface.
• With its kind of pipeline can make disharmony in the exterior of the site.
• There is the likelihood of theft.
• At the beginning and end of the season it is necessary to assemble and disassemble the system. Assembly instructions depend on the type of materials used.

Stationary

A permanent water supply system differs from the above described system in that it is located underground. For it you can use plastic pipes and rubber thick-walled hoses. It differs from the usual one in that it is located much closer to the surface of the earth.

Note! When using plastic pipes, they must be laid at an angle to the drain valve located near the water supply source. This will allow water to be drained at the end of the season to avoid freezing and damage to the system.

As a rule, only water faucets, to which hoses can be connected, are brought to the surface.

I must say that such a pipeline is devoid of the drawbacks of a collapsible water supply system, however, it has its some drawbacks:

• It requires more material costs and more time for installation.
• The assembly work is more laborious, since it is necessary to dig trenches and lay pipes at a certain angle.
• In the event of a system failure, it is much more difficult to find a faulty area and repair it.

Note! Before falling asleep laid in the ground system, be sure to perform seasonal pressure testing of water pipes. This operation is needed to detect leaks at the joints. To do this, turn on the water supply and thoroughly test the system.

Here, perhaps, all the main features of the seasonal water supply.

Conclusion

A seasonal water pipeline is a simple and inexpensive way to provide temporary water supply. The most common such systems received in the "summer" suburban areas, as they have a number of positive qualities.

Depending on the need, such water supply can be made both collapsible and permanent, dug into the ground. You can read more information on this topic from the video in this article.
