There are many reasons to argue about the reasons that induce owners of individual buildings to build autonomous engineering systems. But just something to mount - not the main thing. For example, get water from a selected source. It is necessary to carry out a number of measures to make it suitable not only for household needs, but also for drinking, cooking.
What is a water treatment system applied to a private house, how to arrange it - all this will be discussed in the article.
If you focus on most private houses, then they have much in common in the organization of autonomous water supply from the well. Firstly, the size of the infield area rarely exceeds ten acres, so the well is relatively close to the residential building. Secondly, the depth of the trunk is usually in the range of 25 to 45 m. Drilling to a lower level is both expensive and not always possible, since it is necessary to prepare a package of permits for artesian sources. And not the fact that it will turn out. That's from this and proceed.
Composition of the cleaning system
Next - an approximate list of components. By which scheme to organize the purification of water from a particular well, the type of elements for mandatory use, from which you can and refuse - all this is decided individually for each private house. It is also important which filter or node to choose for a particular water supply system, since here the chemical composition of the liquid comes to the fore, which many simply do not know.
Bottom filter
It is mentioned often, although its role in improving the quality of water in the full sense can not be said. The main purpose of this element is to protect the pump from damage and to prevent the penetration of suspensions into the water supply system. Consequently, it provides only mechanical purification of water, and then, to a certain extent, only "rough".
Price depends on the diameter, design and material - from 390 to 6 800 rubles. You can make a filter yourself - read here.
Cleaning filter( optional).The function is the same, only this element of the water intake system "works" already with smaller fractions and suspensions that hit the pipe, passing the pump.
The price is from 128 rubles.
aeration unit( device) Its task is to saturate oxygen from the depth of water to initiate( accelerate) the oxidation processes. Since there are chemical / compounds and hydrogen sulfide in the liquid, many of them are released at this stage of water treatment. For example, ferrous iron becomes insoluble and precipitates. The same applies to the ions of lead, arsenic, tin and so on.
The price is from 24 650 rubles.
Filter unit
Assignment is understandable. Once in the previous stage something has turned out to sediment, all this must be removed from the water supply system. The selection of filters( narrowly focused) is carried out depending on what exactly it is required to purify water - salts, sodium, iron and the like. In fact, this assembly replaces several separate devices. Here you need to focus on the appropriateness of using one or the other.
Biological protection installation
Microorganisms present in water are destroyed in it. Different methods - irradiation with ultraviolet( more expensive devices), transmission of liquid through coal elements.
The price is from 144 800 rubles.
"Fine" water purification unit
This filter is a terminal device and is designed to remove suspensions from the pipeline, which managed to penetrate all previous nodes and circuit elements.
It is also recommended to install one more cleaning device. It is called a filter with osmosis. Its installation ensures that the water is cleaned to the maximum. But before deciding on the expediency of use, you need to take into account a number of points.
The price is from 5 250 rubles.
Operation of such a filter will increase the flow of water from the well by about 2.5 - 3 times. The fact is that about 2/3 of the liquid is spent on cleaning the membrane. So, she will not go to the water supply, but will be diverted to the drainage system. The fact that the owner of a private house does not need water from an autonomous source for free is clear.
But after installing the node with the osmosis pump station will have to work longer. And this is an increase in energy consumption and increased consumption of the motor resource( output).Consequently, more frequent equipment maintenance and repair will be required. Conclusion - for perfectly clean water will still have to indirectly pay.
If the concentration of iron in the liquid is significant, then such installations are not used.
Useful advices
There is a common opinion that the water from the well is clean by definition, therefore it does not need additional training. Therefore, the installation of cleaning equipment is a waste of money and time. This is a deep delusion, and it is hardly worth listening to such advice of "experts".
What is fraught with neglect of measures for water purification?
Firstly, , the use of fluid from a well without preliminary preparation( treatment) adversely affects the human body. Simply put, on our health. There are people who( especially in their youth) do not think much about it. Therefore, one more, not less weighty argument.
Secondly , the maintenance-free period of samples of household appliances connected to the water supply system( primarily washing machines, heat exchangers for heating boilers), as well as some components and components of the circuit, is drastically reduced. For example, gaskets, cartridge mixers.
So it turns out that the savings on the water purification system are illusory, and the various advice from the outside is nothing more than general reasoning that does not have any evidence base.
Before choosing a particular cleaning system, the author recommends that you thoroughly familiarize yourself with the requirements for drinking water. They are reflected in SanPiN № 2.2.4.171 of 2010.
Attempts to determine the quality of water from a well visually, taste or smell are unpromising( see how to analyze water here).The same goes for her analysis of the amount of precipitation in the glass, as some owners of private houses practice. A positive result is only for complacency to those who are not very interested in the above problems.
The owner, who is really concerned about the quality of cleaning, should give a sample to a specialized laboratory. Professionals based on fluid research will give their recommendations not only for its preparation, but also for the very possibility of using it for domestic purposes( food, drink).Although this should still be done at the stage of hydrogeological exploration of the territory.
Another question if a private house is purchased. What the previous owners thought about the organization of water supply is their own business. Check the water from the well in the SES or other licensed structure when moving to a new dwelling should be required.
When choosing the imported equipment, the author advises to pay attention to the brand "Aqualine", "Organic", "Aquafilter", "Zepter" and "Bluefilters" .These plants produce a truly multi-level qualitative cleaning, but the cost is quite high. The devices "FITaqua", "Cristal", "Filter 1", "Ecosoft" are slightly cheaper. Among the domestic devices it is worth noting equipment "Geyser", "Aquaphor", "Barrier" and "Atoll" .At least, there are no negative reviews on thematic sites about this product. On the contrary, many owners of private houses are satisfied with the degree of water purification.
When organizing a water purification system, it must be taken into account that the fluid pressure gradually decreases throughout the course. Therefore, for the qualitative functioning of the water pipe, it will be necessary to install one more pump - boosting. Focusing on the size of the territory for private houses and the average length of the route indicated above( in a note), an inexpensive product worth between 3 800 and 4 200 rubles is quite enough. Only in this case the required water pressure will be guaranteed.
And with the help of what equipment he will achieve it - his personal decision. The main thing is for the water to go through all four stages of preparation. More expensive stations are able to perform a full cycle( comprehensively) of all necessary activities.
The author repeats a little, but only to emphasize - only on the basis of the analysis of the liquid coming from the well, it is possible to determine what degree of purification it is required, from which, and what is expedient for this to install in a private house.
