Water quality of a country well
According to the standards of geodesy and other industries dealing with water and land, groundwater is at a depth of 10 meters( on average).The digging process often occurs by drilling a well. Before the start it is necessary to call a specialist to determine the location of the water. A common option for checking the soil is verifying digging( using a special drilling machine).Groundwater is under high atmospheric pressure. When they are detected, you do not have to deal with pumping out the liquid to the surface, it will rise by its own power upward.
Water in the well is tested for suitability. In industrial settlements with mines, water requires special verification. The water in the well of good quality differs transparency, does not contain harmful substances, does not have a sharp and unpleasant smell.
In case of poor water condition - it is necessary to purchase filters or additional mechanisms for cleaning the liquid.
It is important to note: in any case it is not recommended to use unsuitable water. It can have toxic qualities and lead to complete poisoning of the body. At best, such water should be used for economic purposes.
Well construction with own hands
Often the construction of the well is done on its own. It is:
- built in the ground frame( wooden box or metal);
- special lifting device;
- convenient handle;
- rope or rope on the spool;
- hook part for hanging bucket or other container.
The frame serves as a protection against the ingress of surface contaminants or lumps of earth into the water.
There are several types of wells:
- household;
- industrial;
- food.
Arrangement of a well at a dacha does not require a large amount of costs. It is enough to purchase material for the frame and enlist the support of a specialist.
Well pit shape can be different:
- Round
- Square
- Polygonal
- Oval
The principle of the well operation is the inflow of groundwater to the well site.
For the construction of a well, you can use:
- Brick
- Wood
- Concrete
The frame must always have a height of up to one meter from the soil level. Its edges are often decorated. For convenience, the dacha well is covered with a small door.
With a poor water supply, it is recommended to install the pump. This option is not reliable in the absence of electricity. A win-win option is to use the classic method - manual, using a bucket.
Lifting capacity is due to the "crane" or a special coil and rope."Crane" has a mechanism for lifting the crane up and down into the well. Raising-lowering is done with a convenient handle.
Components of the well at the dacha
The well consists of:
- Frame;
- Covers;
- Winding coil;
- Handles;
- Ropes.
Frame material:
- Wood( oak, spruce, fir boards);
- Iron( sheathing from metal tile);
- Concrete;
- Brick.
Specialists consider a brick well in the country house the most simple in construction and convenient. Its main quality is strength. It is important to use a reliable brick, without scratches and cracks.
The first step in the construction is to drill a well and check the availability of groundwater. After this, digging of the pit begins. Its depth is at least 5 meters( depends on the purpose of using water).On the prepared pit a small foundation is established and after the erection of the skeleton itself begins. The collapsing ground should be reinforced with reinforcing bars.
