In the construction of individual housing, one of the important points is the installation of water supply and sewerage. These two systems are closely related. Is plumbing in a private house the norm, not a luxury? as it was quite recently. Modern man cannot imagine his existence without conveniences, and this is quite understandable.
A person interested can make plumbing in a private house with their own hands. It is important to correctly calculate and design it at the stage of designing a house. During the construction of the foundation, it is necessary to make strobes and prepare channels for laying pipes. At the same stage, a connection to a centralized network is performed, if possible. Pipe insertion and retraction in progress.
Often, water supply in a private house, especially when it comes to suburban construction, involves the organization of an autonomous water supply system. In this case, there can be two solutions - a well or a well. If the water supply in a private house is planned for seasonal short-term use, then a well can satisfy the requirements. This option would be cheaper thandrilling a well, but we must remember that the quality of the water in the system will be much worse. Most likely, this liquid can only be used for technical purposes, or subjected to multi-stage cleaning.
If the water supply is intended for regular use, including in the winter season, then the best option for an autonomous system would be a well. The quality of water is much higher than that of a well. In addition, it is recommended to install filters for cleaning at the inlet. This will favorably affect the operation of all, without exception, appliances that consume water, such as a washing machine, dishwasher, and even an iron. An additional purifying filter should also be installed in the kitchen to obtain drinking water.
Installation
Plumbing in a private house can be divided into two main components - the outer part and the inner. This does not depend on the connection method.
As mentioned earlier, even at the stage of developing a house project, it is necessary to prepare and carefully consider a water supply and sewerage project. Work on laying the outer part of the network can be carried out already at the stage of foundation work. In this case, pipes leading to the house should be laid underground. There are two options here: either below the freezing level of the soil, or the pipes must be additionally insulated. This is done in order to avoid freezing in winter.
Work on laying communications inside the building should be carried out before the start of interior decoration in order tobe able to test the system without causing damage in the event of a leak. For a more rational operation of the pumping station, if we are talking about an autonomous system, it is customary to use storage tanks, from which water enters directly into the devices. Direct pumping from the source to the device is advisable only in case of occasional use. Otherwise, this leads to additional energy consumption and wear of the pumping system.
