Reliable sand filters for sand

Many gardeners and truck farmers can make filters for the well on the sand with their own hands, which will last long and reliably.

Without water, it is impossible to grow vegetables and fruits.

Reliable water supply is required not only in the country or vegetable garden.

Country estates, individual houses within the city limits are built in such a way as to have an autonomous source that provides water for all needs regardless of the season.

For a long time, the most common type of source was a well. Today, a well is more often used, including a "needle".

Its construction and operation require compliance with certain rules and regulations.

Types of wells

The well is easy to maintain, but it has one serious drawback.

Due to the shallow bedding of the aquifer, sewage, chemically active solutions, sand and other "additives" that easily reduce the quality of water can easily penetrate into it.

Before use, it has to be filtered and boiled. On the walls of pots and kettles, scale is regularly formed. Water that sways from the well is almost ready for use.

It is this property that stimulates the use of wells that are of the following type:

• well for limestone;
• well for sand;Well
• "needle".

Each type has its own characteristics, depending on the depth of the aquifer.

Well for limestone

It got its name because the water sways from the lime horizons. These layers lie at a depth of up to 200 meters.

Only this fact shows that drilling to such depths requires significant financial costs.

In addition, the waters of deep occurrence, which do not require additional filtering, are attributed to the wealth of the bowels, and these wealth are managed by the state.

It is impossible to equip such a source at the dacha. This will require a large list of permits. To fulfill the requirements of "Rospotrebnadzor" is also unrealistic.

Therefore, this type of wells is not widely used.

Sand hole

In this case, water is taken from a sandy aquifer. At the same time, it passes natural filtration through different fractions of sand and gravel.

The depth of the horizon varies from 20 to 40 meters. Nowadays it is the most common source of water in a manor house, cottage and vegetable garden.

In order for water to be of higher quality, it is possible to install a filter for the well itself. This device is mounted in such a way that the bottom silt does not clog the holes.

Practice shows that the life of such a well is 5 to 15 years. This period can be extended if properly serviced.

"Needle" well

This "needle" well has one more name - the Abyssinian well. Often there is such a definition: a driven well or a whistle well. Its depth is relatively small, up to 8 meters.

The needle is adjusted and equipped for a short period of time. With a good organization of the process up to the aquifer can be reached within a few hours.

It is important to note that the quality of the water from the well is almost the same as in the well, it often gets sand. It is desirable to pass it through the filter before use.

Undoubted plus is the budget cost of the installation and the minimum area of ​​the site. Make the necessary rig for drilling and do all the work at the dacha in your own strength.

Cleaner system

Well water often contains various impurities and particulate matter.

To prevent the ingress of foreign fragments, a filter for the well is installed on the water intake pipe with their own hands.

This device can be purchased at a specialized store or manufactured by yourself.

The most accessible filtering design includes the following elements:

• filter unit;
• the filtered area;
• sump.

The sand that enters the system not only lowers the water quality, but also leads to premature wear of the pumping station.

To avoid this situation, it is necessary to properly install the self-made filter.

Before installation, it is necessary to accurately determine the depth of the aquifer. The pipe from which the filter is made should have a diameter smaller than the casing.

The filter size must match or be less than the height of the water column. Before fixing the water supply pipe in the well, the bottom surface preparation is performed.

When a well is drilled in sandy ground, its bottom and walls will be blurred in a short time. And the water from the transparent will turn into a muddy, unsuitable for drinking.

In such conditions, it is necessary to make a preliminary arrangement of the bottom, after which to install a filter.

The bottom sediment in the well accumulates over time and can disable it.

To prevent the development of such processes, the main pipe must be equipped with a filter, pre-selecting the appropriate type:

• holey;
• slotted;
• wire;
• gravel.

Under certain conditions, any of these products can be made by hand. On the video you can see how a wire filter is made with the help of improvised tools.

The bottom filter is installed before the well is put into operation. Most often for these purposes, coarse quartz sand, gravel or crushed stone is used.

How to make a filter?

The most common type is a perforated filter. Partly this is due to the fact that it can be made by hand. For this, through holes are drilled through the holes.

The next step is to wrap the pipe on the piece where the perforation is carried out. The net is wound in such a way that it has a degree of freedom.

For greater reliability, it can be wound in two layers. You can fix it with a construction stapler in 15-20 cm. The video shows the process of making a hole filter by oneself.

Drilling holes must be made at an angle of 45 degrees from the bottom to the top.

The slot filter provides high throughput and delays sand.

You can make it using a milling machine, gas cutter or angle grinder, which is commonly called "Bulgarian".

Slots with a staggered width of up to 5 mm and a length of up to 70 mm are cut in the tube. It is important to ensure that the strength of the pipe does not decrease.

After the cutting operation has been completed, it is necessary to clean all the burrs that form along the edge of the slot. The next step is to wind this section with a grid.

The winding and fixing of the mesh is carried out according to the same rules as for the manufacture of a hole filter.

A wire filter for a well with its own hands has a complex design compared to hole or slotted filtration.

The video shows in detail how it can be made.

The filter from gravel for water differs simplicity of the device.

This system is equipped in soils with a high specific content of clay and fine sand. To make the bottom silt not mixed with water, it is sprinkled with gravel.

The gravel fraction must be large. The diameter of the borehole must be greater than the diameter of the casing at least 10 cm.

This type of filtration is often used in the country during seasonal well operation.

Nuances and subtleties of

When the hole "needle" breaks through the dacha, the water can be filtered already at the outlet. You just need to install the filter correctly. If there is only a bottom filter in the well, this is not enough.

In order to ensure reliable and high-quality water supply, it is necessary to perform all the work on the manufacture and installation of filters neatly and according to instructions.

Video:

It is very important to calculate the diameter of the pipe when making a hole or slit product. It happens that the filter gets stuck in the casing during installation.

Another trouble that can occur is the rapid clogging of the filter with sand and clay. This occurs when the size of the holes in the filter is small.

As a result, you have to do the work again.
