Shower pump in the country or on the lawn of a country house
Despite the fact that the cottage in the first place serves as a place of unity with nature, ensuring a comfortable stay on it is the primary task of any summer resident. Therefore, many people are puzzled over how best to equip the dacha shower in the absence of communications. In many ways, to solve the problem allow the pumps, which, in fact, is devoted to this article.
General information
The easiest way to organize a summer shower is to install a tank on the roof. However, it can be quite difficult to get water into the container with buckets, especially for older people. To simplify this task, as already mentioned above, allows the water pump.
Variants of the organization of the soul using this apparatus, in fact, there are two:
- Injection of water into the tank, which can be either heated or without it.
- Water supply directly to the shower head.
From the scheme of arrangement of the system depends on the choice of the pump. Below is a detailed look at both of these options.
Water supply to tank
This variant of the organization of the dacha soul is the most common. And it can be used for washing the room in the bath, and for the summer shower box.
The choice of pump in this case depends on the source of water supply. Below are the most common options:
| Types of water sources | Types of pump |
| Well water supply | Two types of devices can be used to pump water into the shower tank:
|
| Water supply from the well | If the depth of the well exceeds 10 meters, a special submersible unit is used. It should be noted that the price of such equipment is quite high. If the well is shallow, you can use the usual surface apparatus for the well. |
| From the tank | If for some reason there is no possibility to collect the tank directly from the water supply source, then you can use the pump for the summer shower, which will fill it from the tank located nearby. You will agree that it is much easier to fill the tank located on the ground roof tank. So, to collect water from the barrel or other container into the tank for the shower with the following devices:
|
Tip! The surface unit can be used not only for pumping water into the tank, but also for irrigation, as well as to maintain pressure in the water supply system.
It follows that before buying equipment, it is necessary to determine the source of water supply.
Tip! In specialized stores you can buy a collapsible shower with a foot pump for filling the tank. This design is a frame covered with a tarp, with a tank and all the necessary fittings.
Water supply to shower head
Car shower
This version of the system is considered marching, and originally intended for motorists. Therefore, for the discharge of water in this case, a 12-volt water pump is used for the shower, which can be operated from the cigarette lighter.
However, many models have power adapters that allow you to connect them to a normal 220V network. Therefore, the device has become widespread among summer residents.
The principle of operation of such a device is extremely simple - a small pump is lowered to the bottom of the tank. This can be a canister, bucket barrel, etc. As a rule, the regulation of pressure is carried out by a handle located on the watering can.
System "toptun"
This option is the easiest way to supply water to a shower head under a certain pressure. And you can even make such a design with your own hands, the only thing is to do this, you need a car foot pump and a sealed container for a shower with a embedded spool and a tap to connect the watering can.
Instructions for the manufacture of this device is as follows:
- Automotive foot pump connects to hermetic water tank, which allows you to increase the pressure in it.
- Capacity is connected by a hose with a watering can. As a result of increasing pressure, water, in fact, is squeezed out of the tank. Since the valve does not allow the fluid to escape through the tube through which air is pumped, it has only one way left - to flow through the hose and out through the sprayer.
The factory version of such a device looks like a rubber mat with built-in two pumps. The principle of its operation is similar to the self-made one - in the process of bathing a person shifts from foot to foot, as a result of which the pressure in the system increases.
Such a device allows you to supply water to a shower head located at a height of about two meters. Its main disadvantage is the need to constantly increase the pressure in the tank, which is associated with certain inconveniences.
Therefore, the "toptun" is rather a temporary or portable option, since it is not necessary to talk about full-fledged comfort in the process of adopting water procedures.
Tip! If the cottage has running water and a shower cabin installed, then it may need a sanitary pump. This device provides forced drainage to a septic tank or cesspool.
Here, perhaps, all the options for arranging a shower in the country with a pump.
Conclusion
As we found out, it is possible to equip a shower in the absence of communications with a pump in various ways. And for each of them requires a certain type of apparatus. Therefore, before you buy equipment and make a shower, you need to decide on its design and source of water supply.
