We lay a water pipe in the country with our own hands from the well

Many vacationers are interested in how you can make a water supply at the dacha from the well with your own hands.

Often a dacha is used not only as a temporary place for rest, but also as a permanent home in the summer and winter, so the water supply in the country is simply necessary.

Central water supply is not in every dacha cooperative, and many masters make the water supply at the dacha from the well.

The water supply system at this type of cottage is only possible with a well or well.

Water from a well, in contrast to a water pipe from a well, has many advantages:

• Well water usually contains significantly fewer harmful impurities than water from a well. This is due to the quality of the water layers, however, in any case, water filters should be used, both for wells and for water from the well;
• Waterways are often covered with silt, but cleaning such a water pipe is much easier than a system from a well. Enough will be shovels and buckets;
• Well water supply, as opposed to a system from a well, uses a normally submersible pump, which, if necessary, will not be difficult to repair or replace. To lift it to the surface, the solenoid valve is disconnected, and then the pump is lifted upwards using a cable;
• In the process of conservation for winter time, the fluid in the well system is directly into the well, and in the system from the well, water enters the well itself and into the sewage system.
• In some regions, a borehole device is possible only after obtaining a special permit, a well can do on its site each;
• In the event that electricity is lost in a country house, water can be raised from the well manually;
• Another important advantage of well water supply in comparing the system from a well, can be considered the decorative of the well. It can be not only a banal gray concrete construction, but also a whole work of art that will decorate any personal plot.

If you decide to learn how to make a water pipe in the country, you should determine the main components of the entire system.

The water supply distribution consists of parts:

• pump;
• accumulator;
• water pressure switch;
• storage tanks;
• water supply pipes and much more.

Well water supply - a fairly economical option, especially if you install an external pump.

However, it is effective only when the distance between the house and the source of water is not large.

The pipe for the system is better to take plastic or metal plastic, as in metal, rust will form in a while, and the taste and color of the water will be spoiled.

With regard to the choice of material for the well itself, usually used w / w rings, brick, stone or wood. The most inexpensive and convenient options are considered concrete rings and brickwork.

Design of the water supply system

If you want to understand how to make the water supply in the dacha with your own hands,a scheme of the future design is drawn up.

The water supply scheme will ensure high quality and reliable operation.

The diagram should contain information on all important elements - pipes, pump, accumulator, boiler, water purification filters, collectors, and water intake points.

The drawings of the future system are best done on a scale, so that it is possible to easily determine the consumption of all materials and elements.

Before you can design a system, you need to determine how the wiring will be done in the house.

There are two:

1. Serial mode - suitable for a small building, which will accommodate 1 - 2 people. This is a simple scheme of connection, when along the whole house a main pipe is laid, from which the points of water intake with tees leave. If several people join the house at the same time, the water pressure will be too small;
2. Collector method - in this case a separate pipe is supplied to each point, as a result of which the pressure in each pipe will be almost the same.

Installation of a water pipe in a second-class dacha will cost significantly more, as the pipes will go much more, but this connection scheme is more convenient, especially in a country house or summer cottage with a large area where several people rest at the same time.

Installation of well water supply

Installation of a water pipe in a country house begins with the selection of the pump type.

Usually a submersible pump is used, which works almost silently due to the fact that it is immersed in water, which absorbs all sounds.

In addition, this version of the pump is much more economical, compared to others, its performance is very high, and it can work even in a deep well.

The manufacturer and the power of this element are selected depending on your conditions and the depth at which it will work.

After the pump, there is a drain valve, which should be at the bottom of our entire system. If the well is deeper than 8 meters, they act differently.

In the room put a check valve, and in front of it - a special bypass device with a latch. When this valve opens, a vacuum runs out of the pipe, and water drains off.

When using a submersible unit, the conservation process, if any, is greatly simplified. When the drain valve operates, all water is drained from the system.

If you use a surface unit, the water in this case needs to be drained from its housing, and the next time the system starts - fill the pump with water.

The immersion unit is placed at a distance of not less than 0.8 meters from the bottom of the well, and the drain valve is not less than 3 meters from the ground level.

To ensure that the liquid is completely drained through the valve, the part of the pipeline that is located underground must be positioned with a slope to the water source.

As for the choice of pipes for our system, experts advise using polypropylene products that are sufficiently environmentally friendly, available, have high strength, easy installation.

To hold pipes, dig trenches, the depth of which depends on when you will use your water supply.

If the water intake takes place only in the warm season, then it is sufficient to lay pipes at a depth of 1 m.

If this installation is necessary for you all year round, then the pipes should be laid below the freezing point of the ground. In the middle band this figure is 2 meters.

If you want to build a water pipe in your dacha with your own hands at the same time as building a house, it is convenient to have pipes under the foundation, if the house is already built and pipes can not be laid under the floor, then the pipes are laid over it.

In any case, you should take care of the insulation of pipes to use the water pipe at minus temperature.

Next to a piece of pipe that is located in the cold zone, lay a heating cable to protect the pipes from freezing.

The feed pipe will also act as a drain pipe, so the water supply system must be inclined towards it.

To ensure that there are no noticeable differential pressures when starting and stopping the pump, the water circuit must include a hydraulic accumulator that will make the operation of the system stable and reliable.

The accumulator protects the water supply from water hammer. In addition, even if you have a power outage in the dacha, water will be supplied for some time.

The pressure in your system should be in the range of 2.5-4 atm constantly, for which a pressure switch is used, which must be present in the system.

It is installed next to the accumulators. When the pressure reaches the maximum value during operation, the relay switches off the pump. When the pressure decreases, the relay turns on the water again.

A dry relay is another important element that acts as a fuse. This relay is activated when the liquid level in the well drops to the minimum level.

In this case, the dry relay disconnects the pump so that there is no alarm in the system.

After the accumulator, install a tee equipped with a locking mechanism. This element will divide water into technical and drinking water, after which it is used for its intended purpose.

Drinking water will continue to pass through several filters. The next tee divides the water into hot and cold water.

The cold pipe is further connected to the collector with the locks, the second pipe is connected to the heater, after which the hot water is distributed to the dachas' rooms through the collector.

Installation of water supply in the country is often done using a water tank from barrels or metal tanks.

The water tank is located on the trestle or attic of the house, in case of winter water supply, the tank should be insulated.

Special attention should be given to the quality of the insulation for drums, it is important that its particles do not clog the drinking water.

The tank must be tightly closed to prevent contamination of the water. The control hose is attached to the tank so that the water from the tank does not pour.

Winter and summer versions of water supply

If you decided to make water supply in your country by hand from a well or a well, you should know that there are two possible options:

1. Organization of a summer water pipeline that will work only in the warm season;
2. Organization of winter water supply system, which will work both permanently and periodically.

Whichever version of the water supply system you choose, an obligatory condition is the availability of electricity in the country.

Summer water supply system

There are two ways to connect summer water supply in the country - permanent and collapsible. With a permanent option, the pipeline is laid in the ground, and the water distribution channels go out.

Pipes in this case are not laid in deep trenches, but practically lie on the surface, slightly sprinkled with soil. With such a system, the water intake points can be arranged in any convenient place.

A feature of such a system is the need to lay pipes with a slope in the direction where the water discharge point is located - the lowest point of the water pipe.

If you neglect this rule, the pipes will stagnate water, which, when frozen, can break them.

Demountable water supply system is very simple to install. Install it in warm weather, and shoot before the arrival of cold weather. The system consists of pipes and hoses that are laid over the ground.

To ensure that the structure is strong and reliable, the pipes must be connected with plastic or galvanized adapters, the parts must be reinforced.

Winter water system

Winter water supply in the country is also not difficult to do yourself. Winter plumbing must be insulated, so that in cold weather the water in the pipes does not freeze and break the pipes.

To start, you need to connect the pump to the mains. Some specialists lay the cable and pipes in one casing, which will protect them from freezing in winter and various damages.

To ensure that pipes with water do not freeze even in the most severe frosts, they should be laid below the freezing level of the earth.

If you can not dig a deep trench for laying pipes for some reason, then in this case make a trench 60 cm deep and lay the pipes laid with a 30 cm thick insulation.

As a heat-insulating layer, it can be expanded clay, foam foam or slag.

In addition, a heating cable can be placed on top of the pipes, which is very efficient in operation, but it is quite expensive.

To connect the pump and pipes we need a pit. Usually its dimensions are 75 by 75 cm, and the depth is 1 meter.

Walls of this construction are covered with bricks or boards, and the bottom is covered with rubble or concrete. In this pit, a pump is installed and a pipeline is connected.

The pit is important to be well insulated to avoid freezing.

Winter plumbing must necessarily be equipped with a conservation system. When the residents leave the dacha in winter, the water from the pipes descends to keep the system in working order.

Running the system again will be completely uncomplicated.

The water supply system from the well should be serviced regularly. Breakdowns and various problems in the system can be prevented if timely preventive work is done.

From time to time, it is necessary to get rid of deposits in pipes that are harmful to health, and also worsen the flow of water.
