Water supply in a country house with their own hands

The biggest need for a country house is a water pipe. Only a person who likes to drag himself to the nearest well or a column, fill the buckets and make this way back several times a day can object to this. It may happen that there is no central water supply in this area, then there is only one choice - to make the water supply of the private house by oneself.

There are various schemes for running water in a private house, but we are only interested in that which includes the most necessary elements, such as:

• the nearest well or well;
• pumping station, which serves to inject water into the supply system;
• external and internal water pipes;
• hydraulic accumulator;
• plumbing fixtures.

Hot water supply for a private house

Hot water supply of a private house, the scheme of which is quite simple and is a two-circuit boiler with separate heating and heating functions or instead you can install a storage water heater with mains supply.

Before implementing the scheme of autonomous water supply of a private house, it is necessary to understand which of the three options is most convenient to use in your case. The first option is the simplest - it's a well. The next option, as the least expensive - is a well "on the sand."The aquifer layer is usually located at a depth of the order of 10-30 meters, a submersible pump is required for this. The water from such a well is fairly clean, but for the guarantee it is necessary to put an additional filter.

For obtaining the most pure water, the scheme of water supply of a private house should include the use of the most laborious and costly method - an artesian well. Despite the fact that this is a rather deep source, you do not need a pump, an artesian well is capable of providing water to a whole village.

If a well is used as the source, the pumping station is preferable to install in the annex or the house itself. In this case, laying a water pipe into the house, you need to make a trench from the well below the freezing level of the earth and after dig into it a pipe.

Metal-plastic pipes are well bent, so bending, lowering it to the water level, without forgetting to insert a strainer. We lower the pipe further, so that the distance to the bottom is about 40 cm. From the well we pour out water, fix the pin at the bottom and fasten the tube to it.

Installation of a water pipe in a private house involves the installation in the house or directly above the well( in the caisson) of a pumping station or submersible pump. First, water enters the hydraulic accumulator and from there it goes to the consumers through the pipes. By consuming water, consumers thereby reduce

pressure in the system, the relay trips and a pumping station activates, which pumps water into the accumulator, raising the pressure to 3 bar. The relay switches on again, and the pump station stops working until the pressure drops.

It seems, most recently, for warming the water pipe in a private house, the best material was a quilt. Those times have long since passed, now there are insulation in the market, such as expanded polystyrene, fiberglass and basalt seals. There is no doubt that laying pipes below the freezing level is the best way to protect them, but it does not help when the depth of freezing is below two meters. That's when you need to use the above heaters.

The video below describes the operation of the already ready water supply system of a private house from a well and how it is done.

Piping in a private house is done in two ways - outdoor or hidden wiring. To do this, polypropylene pipes in stone houses are hidden in walls, in specially made deepenings, and in wooden structures they are placed under panels.

It is recommended to install the water supply of a private house with polypropylene pipes.

These pipes are welded together at the connection point, thus ensuring a complete seal of the system and making it impossible for any leakage in your house.

Before you conduct a water supply to the house, you need to make a competent layout plan and it is desirable that it is performed by a professional. The scheme of water distribution in a private house starts from the point of water supply to the house, continues until the entrance to the heating boiler. Further, following the layout of the water distribution system in the house, the water goes to the main points of analysis, such as a bathroom and a kitchen.

The picture shows conditionally the scheme of the water supply system, in real conditions the plan is developed individually for the house by a specialist.

After the connection of the water supply to the private house is completed, it is necessary to connect all the elements of the system to the electrical network, to check their operation, to ensure the reliability and absence of leaks, to eliminate the identified faults.

Having made water supply of a country house with your own hands, you can be proud of it, since the quality and diligence with which you performed it can show characteristics much better than in urban centralized systems.

Plumbing in the country with their own hands

Practice shows that the lack of a water pipe in the country, makes life there uncomfortable, and sometimes simply impossible. If you properly understand and correctly implement this project, it is not so difficult to build a water pipe in the dacha with your own hands. And you can make it so that the system will function at any time of the year.

Summer water pipeline

This country water pipe is equipped with its own hands very simply for the manufacture of it you only need to have hoses and connecting elements. Used to water plants on the city. Domestic manufacturers for connecting hoses release latches, at the one end of this device is placed a "ruff", and on the other - a spring-loaded connector that provides tightness at the junction.

With the constant summer water supply of the dacha with their own hands, the matter is somewhat more complicated.

Pipes for it are put in the ground, on the surface there are only cranes. Bury such a water

conduit does not need to just sprinkle on top of the earth to not give cause for theft.

The only drawback is still there, it is necessary to lay it so that there is a constant slope to the main road, and at the bottom point to install a drain cock. Before the onset of winter, do not forget to drain water from the pipes, so that they do not break off with the onset of frost.

This scheme of water supply can be provided at any time of the year. Taking as a well source, you will make such a water pipe without having great skills, and then your dacha will never remain without water.

A submersible pump is required to supply water to the system, depending on the depth at which it will operate, its power is selected. When installing a water pipe to give a trench and

submersible pump. It is necessary to make a depth of more than half a meter, so that the pipeline is placed below the freezing level. After that it is recommended to fill it up with a crumb of foam or expanded clay in a layer of 30 cm. This is not the only way to heat the pipes of the water pipe in the country. Currently, the electric heating wire is widely used, it is wrapped around the pipe, the insulation from the foam polyethylene is put on top and placed in a trench.

Before making a water supply at the dacha, a pit of 70x70 cm should be built near the well to approximately one meter depth. The bottom is covered with concrete, and the walls are laid out of bricks, there must be a pipe of water conduit and electric wire. This construction is necessary for the timely disconnection of the submersible pump.

Also see the video below, which details the tools that are needed to lay the water pipe, materials and the process of laying.

Pipes, faucets and water draw-off devices for water supply in the country house

Experienced plumbers, before conducting a water pipe in the country, advise first to choose which pipes you will use. Variants are sufficient, but polypropylene or plastic pipes are best suited for water supply schemes. These pipes are easily soldered with a special soldering iron, bend in all directions and are very durable. The water pipe from plastic pipes will serve you and your great-grandsons. The video shows very clearly all the types of pipes that are used.

Cranes, which are used on the street, will be suitable for both conventional and bunks. It is desirable to mount valves made of metals that are not corrosion resistant, usually cast iron or bronze. For the water-separating unit, the most suitable are the water-septic columns, they have proven themselves in operation at low temperatures.

Of course, professionals will make the installation of water supply system in the country more quickly and reliably, but if you want to do it yourself, you must try to fulfill all the requirements.
