Water supply home from a well: the selection and arrangement

In urban areas, our apartments are connected to a centralized water supply system. It is very convenient, we are accustomed to the amenities that civilization gives us. I would like to be able to take advantage of the constantly flowing water from the tap and in the conditions of giving or a private country house.

And it can be organized by arranging an autonomous water supply, that is, only your own, serving the individual house. Autonomous and provides full independence, which makes it more advantageous even in comparison with the centralized option.

The choice of method

Autonomous water supply cottages or country houses can be organized by drilling a well or building a well.

Important. In any case, before using water and building a water supply system on the basis of the sources, water must be checked for suitability for consumption. Only in the case when you have all the data from the analysis of the sources on your hands, can an adequate method of water purification be selected using a filter system.

Water supply, which is organized on the basis of a well, in fact, turns out to be less costly in finance. In this case, there is more opportunity for the construction of their own hands. The downside is that it is only suitable for giving with seasonal residence.

The water supply of a cottage, a private house with all the comforts and a big summer house requires the arrangement of a well to supply quality water from deeper underground aquifers to the system.

A well for providing water to country houses is drilled to the water-bearing sand lens, or to the aquifers, which are located in limestone rocks.

The main stages in setting up an autonomous water supply system for a country house based on water extraction from a well are:

1. well drilling, choice of location, depth;
2. installation of caisson for maintenance;
3. installation of equipment for lifting water;
4. installation of the necessary automation systems;
5. laying the pipeline system from well to home;
6. distribution of internal water supply system.

Important. Under the existing legislation, each well must necessarily have an individual passport. It is issued by the organization that carried out the drilling. Please note that a passport will be required for submission to the registration authorities.

System arrangement

The water supply of the cottage or the water supply of the dacha from the well provides for a number of works that must be carried out in accordance with the project, which should be ordered in a specialized organization. A filter system must be provided in the system, a well must be arranged to maintain the equipment for raising the water..

Water supply from a well in the country with its irregular use is also possible, but there is a probability of rapid silting. To avoid this, it is advisable to periodically pump a well. In addition, it is advisable to preserve the system for the winter period, that is, to completely drain the water.

Autonomous water supply scheme

Water supply of the cottage from the well occurs according to the following concept, which includes certain components and devices:

1. caisson, a special metal well, which is located above the wellhead;
2. insulated hatch;
3. submersible pump for water intake;
4. coupling;
5. pressure pipe;
6. coupling;
7. check valve;
8. branch pipe for discharge with a ball valve;
9. barrel;
10. ball valve;
11. coupling;
12. mechanical filter;
13. pipeline;
14. hydropneumatic accumulator tank;
15. pressure switch;
16. pressure gauge;
17. air release;
18. coupling;
19. crosspiece;
20. remote control for the pump;
21. cable;
22. cable lock;
23. safety switch;
24. head.

The caisson in the system is a camera for well maintenance. Filters are necessary for high-quality water purification of the well pumped into the system. The hydropneumo-storage tank and the relay to it are the main node for maintaining normal pressure.

The water supply of a private house from a well with a hydroaccumulator allows the system to maintain constant pressure in the system, compensates for possible water hammer and maintains a constant supply of water. The relay, as soon as the pressure reaches certain values, turns off the pump. When you turn on the tap, the pressure decreases and the relay turns on the pump.

Water pipe laying

Adjusting the water supply at the cottage from the well with your own hands, it should be remembered that the laying of the pipeline to the house must be carried out below the level of soil freezing. In places of lifting the pipe must be insulated with heat insulating materials.

Recently, a shallow-depth pipeline has been used, laying it along with a heating cable and insulating everything with an energy-flex or similar insulation. But in the event of a power outage, the water in such a pipeline may freeze. So nothing is safer than the earth, as a natural insulation, not yet.

Pump selection

Organizing the autonomous water supply of a private house from a well, it is necessary to take care of a reliable mechanism for lifting water. Today on sale you can find a variety of pumps from different manufacturers. How to understand which one is suitable for your system?

To make the right choice, it is necessary to understand the principles of operation of various types of pumps and the parameters of water intake, from which it is to pump water. On how true your choice will be, depends on the uninterrupted water supply of the house from the well.

When selecting a pump, consider the following parameters:

1. total well depth and water level in it;
2. the total need for the volume of water per day of your family, including economic and gardening needs;
3. estimated water pressure in the well;
4. borehole diameter;
5. comparative, ceteris paribus, the price of the unit.

Council In order to calculate the pressure, add another 30 to the depth of your well, and increase the resulting amount by 10%. For example, at a depth of 45 m. The pressure value calculated in this way will turn out to be 83 m. Accordingly, when choosing a model, it would be desirable to stop at a variant with a pressure of 90 m.

Before you buy a pump, you must also determine its type.

All devices for lifting water are divided into two classes:

1. surface, in this case, the pump housing is located on land or directly on the surface of the water, where it is held using a special float;
2. submersible, which can be completely in the thickness of the pumped water.

Important. It should be borne in mind that surface types of pumps can pump water from a depth of no more than 8 meters, which limits their use in wells.

Submersible pumps are divided on the basis of their device into the following groups:

1. centrifugal, in their device the main is a shaft with propeller blades, which create centrifugal force, due to which water is pumped;
2. vibrating, in them the basis of the design is a membrane, when the pressure difference formed on opposite sides of which is the transfer of water.

Council When choosing a pump, pay attention to the models that have a thermal switch in the design to protect the engine from overheating.

Important. Do not think that the more power the pump has, the sooner it will suit you. Excessive power can lead to certain problems throughout the system. When choosing a pump, consult a specialist and buy a pump of exactly that capacity that is incorporated in the project.

Summary

Properly organized water supply from a well in a private house will give you the opportunity to experience all the pleasures of life in the comfort of a country house. Having constantly cold water, you can install the necessary equipment and get it hot.
