Regular cleaning of the wells with their own hands

Cleaning of wells in suburban areas should be carried out regularly, for preventive purposes - once every two years.

To owners who constantly postpone this obligatory process to "sweat", it is necessary to use poor-quality water.

And when the bottom of the well is covered with a dense layer of silt, and water ceases to flow from the springs, they start urgently to look for the necessary equipment.

The simplest way of preventive cleaning of wells in the country, which does not require any adaptation, except for the pump for pumping water, is used in the spring, after the snow comes off.

For this, in the seed store, buy potassium permanganate potassium permanganate. One tablespoon of antiseptic substance is dissolved in 10 liters of water, which is then poured into the well pit.

After 4-5 hours, the water from the mine is pumped out by hand. By the way, it remains suitable for watering a garden or plants in the country.

Causes and types of water contamination in the well

There are several causes of water pollution. Clearly understanding them, you can avoid problems with dirty water in the future.

The liquid in the well becomes turbid, ceases to resemble drinking water

The main reason for the loss of water transparency is poor sealing of the seams between the well rings. Through them, the vadose enters the mine.

Fine particles of sand, clay and earth pollute the bottom, interfere with the full functioning of the bottom filter.

The water becomes darker, greens and has a fresh smell.

The dark shade of water in the well at the dacha is a common phenomenon, which is explained simply - the source has not been used for a long time.

As a result, the water resource was not updated. Stagnation, as is known, leads to the multiplication of bacteria and the formation of algae on the walls of the well.

Yellow-red water

In this case, even a thorough cleaning of the well does not help. The rusty color of the source of drinking speaks of the poor quality of the water resource and the presence of a large amount of iron.

All you can do with your own hands to improve the quality of water - is to use a special filter.

Unpleasant taste and smell

The problem of foreign taste and a specific odor of well water can be the entry of sewage into the mine.

Therefore, it is worth taking care of the quality of the mine's sealing.

You can also try to make a deepening of the well in the country during the drought period.

How do I clean the well with a drain pump?

Cleaning the well with a high-performance drain pump allows efficient cleaning of the bottom of the well from silt and, thereby, with your own hands, to improve the quality of the drinking source.

This technology of cleaning the well is used only with the availability of powerful equipment.

Otherwise, it will not be possible to achieve the required circulation of water.

After that, poorly productive equipment can simply fail.

Step-by-Step Drain Bottom Cleaning:

• If the walls of the shaft have cracks and depressurized butt seams, all is eliminated by applying a sealant;
• The drain pump is lowered into the shaft of the well in such a way that there remains from 50 to 100 cm to the bottom filter, consisting of sand, gravel and crushed stone;
• When the pump is turned on, a powerful water flow is formed, which is directed to the bottom. As a result, the water pressure rinses the bottom filter. The contamination passing through the pump remains on the pump filter. Clean water is sent to the bottom of the well. The cleaning process is terminated after the filter is no longer clogged.

Manufacture and features of the

grapple With all the necessary materials and drawings, a manual grab is easy to assemble at home.

With regard to special tools, only a torch and a welding machine are required for the work process.

Pay attention to the proposed drawing of a hand grab for cleaning the well, and in the idea of ​​ about the material for its manufacture.

If after viewing the video of the plot you still decided to make this type of equipment yourself, then you will have to look for such materials:

• steel sheet( thickness 2 mm);
• two metal pipes with different diameters;
• long chain( folding the chain three times, it should be enough for the entire shaft of the well, plus a reserve of about two meters).

Step-by-step instruction for assembling a hand-held grapple:

1. A plate is cut from a sheet of steel( length 550 mm, width 22 mm).The part is cut in half in a zigzag manner so that the bucket has a tooth length of about 15 mm;
2. Further, steel plates are cut from the steel for the sides, and it must be taken into account that the lower plates, when the bucket will grasp the clay, do not lie flat on the bottom, but are at an angle of 150;
3. Since the bucket consists of two parts, we will then need four plates with a height of 220 mm, a width of 40 mm to connect the two finished parts. They are welded to the ladle, having retreated from the outer edge of the bead by 50 mm, so that the two plates on one and on the second side of the ladle are connected in the center;
4. In the clamshell bucket plates, holes are made, a pipe is inserted into it and welded, and the pipe should not protrude beyond the edges of the plates. With the second pipe do the same, lubricate and insert into the first;
5. The bucket should have a ballast, so at its ends weld a cargo of about 5 kg on each side. After welding the handrails for ease of use;
6. At the center of the handrails, two chains are attached to the depth of the well, the chains are connected in one;
7. The third chain is fixed along the edges of the central pipe.

After the construction of the grab is ready, the side chains are manually operated, used to lower the bucket in the open position to the bottom of the well.

A central chain is wound on a drum - it is necessary to close the ladle when lifting the load from the bottom to the top.

To review the cleaning process, a hand-made device, the following video will allow.

Deepening of the well shaft with a drill

. The wells are divided into tubular and shaft wells, the latter can be excavated with a shovel with their own hands.

In this case, you have to dig a hole with a diameter of 0.8 to 1.2 m, but the depth of the pit will depend on how close to the surface the aquifer lies.

Therefore, many summer residents prefer an easier way to extract water, by drilling a well, with a diameter of 50 to 300 mm.

The tubular well is deepened using a drill and special pipes.

Deepening the well to the required depth, which can not be less than 10 m, is carried out until the drill reaches the spring.

The lower part of the water intake pipe placed in the aquifer should have many holes through which water will flow into the pipe.

When drilling a well, the drill is used for loosening and feeding up the soil, while its walls can crumble.

To ensure that the cavity is not clogged, the well is equipped with a casing, with a diameter that freely accepts the drill.

If, when digging a simple well with a shovel into the pit, the reinforced rings are lowered to the bottom, in this case, while the drill is working, a casing is lowered into the cavity, which, as the borehole is drilled, is lengthened by a threaded joint.

The drilling tubular well has a vertical structure, so during operation the drill must also be in a strictly vertical position.

The device is rotated using a lever, whereby the drill element can penetrate into the ground to the full height of the tool.

After a full recess, the tool is taken out of the casing well, cleaned from the ground and returned to its original position.

For this technology, drilling is carried out until the aquifer is reached.

To complement the topic and to consider in detail the operation of the drill will allow the next form about the material.

Features of cleaning the sewer well

Prophylactic cleaning of sewerage wells in the country is a prerequisite for intensive operation of the facility.

With time, a sediment in the form of sludge is formed at the bottom of the sink shaft, it becomes the barrier to waste water, which should go to drainage.

If the soil is sandy, siltation of the bottom occurs over a period of 2-3 years.

Cleaning of sewerage wells can be carried out both with the use of special equipment and in manual mode.

The second option is the most effective method of removing silt from the bottom of the well, which requires only a bucket and shovel from the tools.

After all, even a pump with a large capacity can not choose from the sewer well as much soled soil as a man with a shovel can.

Then you can forget about the problem of sewage for a long time.

The main thing before cleaning is to remember the observance of safety precautions, which includes checking the well shaft for the presence of harmful gases.
