The best way to provide a country house with water is to drill a well. However, making a long narrow shaft in the ground is, of course, only half the battle. Of course, the well needs to be equipped using special equipment.
What to buy
The arrangement of water wells is carried out using equipment such as:
- caisson:
- deep pump;
- hydroaccumulator;
- check valve;
- HDPE pipes;
- insulation;
- steel cable;
- automatic relay with pressure gauge.
A check valve will only have to be purchased if the selected pump is not equipped with it. Sometimes owners of suburban areas purchase a station already equipped with everything necessary. Such equipment is very convenient to use and is relatively inexpensive. However, unfortunately, the pumping station can only be installed on a well with a depth of no more than 20 m.
Pumping the mine
The construction of water wells should begin with this operation. The fact is that in a freshly drilled mine, the water is never too clean. A certain amount of sand will definitely be dissolved in it. Modern deep-well pumps are mostly designed for the intake of exceptionally clean water. If you immediately lower expensive equipment of this type into the well, it can simply break down. Therefore, it is imperative to pump the mine before proceeding with its arrangement. To do this, you should purchase an inexpensive small submersible well pump for 1500-2000 rubles. It is impossible to use such equipment in deep mines all the time. It's just that it suits very well for pumping.
Arrangement of the caisson
After the well is pumped, you can proceed to its equipment itself. And you should start with the arrangement of the caisson. This equipment for the well can be purchased ready-made or made independently. In the latter case, the well will cost less.
It is a homemade caisson pit approximately 2 m deep with concrete-lined walls and bottom. A caisson is being built directly around the well shaft. After excavation is completed, the casing pipe should be cut in such a way that it will be convenient to install pumping equipment in the future. Next, proceed to the concreting of the walls of the caisson. To do this, you need to install the formwork and place reinforcement in it. The walls are poured in such a way that the sides are formed above the caisson. ATfurther this will prevent rain and melt water from getting inside. At the next stage, you can start pouring the screed at the bottom of the caisson. It also needs to be reinforced. While the concrete is curing, you can dig a trench from the house to the caisson.
Pump Brands
All downhole equipment of this type existing on the modern market for a well of this type is quite reliable and productive. When choosing a pump, first of all, you should pay attention to the depth of the mine for which it is intended. It is also worth looking at the brand of the manufacturer.
The most popular among domestic owners of country houses are inexpensive pumps for water wells "Vodomet" of Russian production, equipment of the middle price category "Pedrollo" (Italy) and expensive German "Grundfos". But of course, you can buy a unit and some other well-known brand. Even the very cheap Chinese models sold today by specialized stores are considered to be of sufficient quality.
What parameters to look for when buying
They choose pumps for a well for water, taking into account, among other things, their characteristics such as:
- Performance. It is believed that 40-60 l / min equipment is well suited for the average family.
- Pump pressure. This indicator is very easy to calculate. To do this, thirty should be added to the depth of the well. Add another 10% to the resulting figure.
- Case diameter. Of course, thisthe indicator should be less than the opening of the casing.
Arrangement of water wells: how to install a pump
This equipment is mounted as follows:
- The HDPE pipe purchased in advance should be laid out on the ground for alignment.
- Next, it must be hermetically attached to the pump.
- Then the power cable is connected and straightened along the pipe.
- The cable is securely attached to the pump eyes. It also needs to be spread along the pipe.
-
The cable, cable and pipe are fastened into a single route by means of clamps.
Final stage
After the preparatory work is completed, the head should be put on the casing. Next, you can proceed to the actual installation of the pump. It should be lowered into the mine as carefully as possible, trying not to touch the walls. After the unit is installed, proceed to the installation of the accumulator and all other necessary equipment. First, a fitting is connected to the tank, then a pressure gauge, a relay-regulator and, finally, a pipe coming from the pump. After connecting the main line from the house to the accumulator and a test run, the work on arranging the well can be considered completed.
Features of artesian well equipment
Above, the method of arranging not too deep wells "on the sand" was considered. But sometimes the owners of suburban areas are Buryatsdeeper mines called artesian. The installation of wells of this type, since they have a significant depth, is an expensive business. Sometimes the water from such mines even goes by itself under pressure. In this case, installation of the pump is usually not required.
However, the geological features of the bowels of our country are such that the arrangement of such wells is not possible in all places. Therefore, an ordinary mine that has reached the lime layer is often called artesian in Russia. That is just very deep. The arrangement of an artesian well for water of this type is also carried out using a pump. In this case, powerful equipment should be purchased, designed specifically for this type of mine.
Water well: construction cost
The service of equipping the mines of private houses is usually provided by the same companies that are engaged in their drilling. But if you wish, of course, you can hire specialists from another company. In this case, the determining factor is the cost of the work.
The price of mine equipment may vary slightly from company to company. It all depends on how deep it is and how the well will be equipped with water. The price for the arrangement of mines up to 20-40 m can average 15-30 thousand rubles. More expensive is usually only the equipment of common wells. For example, intended for a whole cottage village.
Establishment of water wells, so the procedure is relatively simple. However, time and effort to equip the mine to spend,of course you still have to. Therefore, it is worth doing this work yourself only if you want to save money. For people who are not constrained by means, of course, it is best to hire specialists to perform this operation.
