Without a source of clean water, all the delights of owning your own country house are reduced to zero. You won't be able to water your lawn or fill up your kiddie pool. What is there! Even cooking will turn into another problem.
If you don't want to buy bottled precious liquid, a well in the country will help you. It is quite possible to dig it out with your own hands, and it will take relatively little time to do it. For the cheapest option, you only need an auger, which can be made from steel pipe.
How to prepare the pipe
Of course, you can't just drill a well for her. To do this, you will have to make some improvements to the design associated with the use of an ordinary fishing drill. But it is also necessary to weld reinforced cutting edges on its cutting edges, otherwise it will not be possible to take it far into the ground.
It is best to use steel fromfiles. In addition, you need to get a wheelbarrow for transporting excavated soil, shovels and a pump with a sufficiently long hose.
Before you dig a well to your dacha with your own hands, let's turn once again to the topic of finishing the pipe. Stepping back from its lower edge a meter in height, drill several holes (6 mm in diameter) for two meters. This is done so that its inner diameter does not clog during operation.
Getting Started
The place where you are going to carry out drilling work must be carefully cleared of debris and leveled. After that, dig a small recess (two or three bayonets of a shovel) for a better direction of the drill, after which you can get to work.
To enjoy all the benefits that a well gives to a country house, you will have to do a lot of work with your own hands. To make the drill easier to enter the ground, at regular intervals it must be taken out and shaken off the adhering soil. From time to time, the place of work is watered, which facilitates the passage of dense layers of earth.
As soon as the handle of your tool approaches the soil, it needs to be built up. After that, it may not be very convenient to work with him, you can stand on a table or something like that.
Until when to dig?
Your well to the country house, which everyone can do with their own hands, will be almost ready when you reach the aquifer. This is easy to understand, as the soil being pulled out will be wet.
After that, you can get a pre-prepared pipe. To prevent it from clogging, when lowering into the well, you need to insert and remove the tool several times. This will break up possible soil plugs that could clog your plumbing.
Leveling
As we have already mentioned, drilling a well in the country requires you to have a pump. It must be lowered into the well and pumped water, removing dirt from the aquifer. Since the buildup process is quite long, we recommend that you immediately attend to the presence of a long drainage hose through which dirty water will be discharged away from the excavation site.
We have described the process of manual drilling. But if you need to drill an artesian well in your country house, you will have to use the services of specialists, since you simply cannot reach the aquifers with a hand tool.
