On how to insulate the caisson, almost all owners of the wells are pondering on the eve of the winter.
However, consider everything in order, starting with what the caisson, in fact, is.
So, the caisson is a cylindrical shaped metal structure made using welding.
Its length is two meters, with the installation of the caisson directly to the well, after which it is planned to conduct heat insulation works, which successfully use glass wool, polystyrene foam and similar insulating materials.
After this, finally, the top is installed on the top.
Why do I need a caisson?
It provides protection for the well, as well as for water pipes, which is especially important under conditions of possible freezing in cold periods.
In addition, the installation of the caisson gives one more, extremely important advantage.
It consists in the possibility of additional installation of a number of devices, including, for example, filters and automation, pressure sensors and expansion tank, as well as other types of equipment that are relevant for the use of a well.
With proper installation of the caisson, as well as observance of proper requirements, you not only will not face the problem of water freezing in winter, but also avoid flooding of the well with the onset of the rainy season, or with usual floods.
The insulation of the caisson does not allow the formation of ice, which prevents very serious consequences.
By the way, when choosing a caisson, it's best to dwell on plastic models, in which there are special shelves used for subsequent insulation.

If you still decide to choose a metal caisson, then you need to provide for this a number of additional points.
Caisson is also convenient because it can be used as a hobblock, adding various tools and inventory to it.
It's enough just to install the hinges directly on its cover, and then hang the lock.
If you decide to install the caisson yourself, then, of course, you will need some experience, because this is quite a problem.
In particular, the important point is - waterproofing, after all, its quality and integrity will later determine the quality of the work of the well itself.
If the waterproofing is not ensured properly, penetration into the caisson of water will simply not be avoided, and this will already provoke the spoilage of all equipment, the cost of which you should not be reminded.
