DIY water supply in the country

The absence of a water supply in the country causes many problems associated with the inability to take shower, wash the dishes or water the garden. Therefore, the water supply system must be in the summer cottage. Independent installation of the water supply system to save money on the call of a specialist and will serve as an experience for further work in this industry. We will consider how to make a water supply system in the country.

Water supply scheme in the country: Features of the work

The water system is most often installed during the construction of the building. However, if the house has already been built, and there is no water supply in it, then it is necessary to draw up a project for the location of all pipes supplying the home with water.

At the design stage, calculations are also carried out by the number of materials necessary for the arrangement of the water supply, as well as the water-bearing unit is equipped. For him, it is necessary to have a room of a small area of \u200b\u200bup to three square meters. After the installation of technical devices and the node, which introduces water into the dwelling, the level of convenience and control in the operation of the water system increases.

The local water supply system includes the following equipment:

• pipes (steel, plastic, metal -plastic, polypropylene) should also choose fittings and taps;
• water lift mechanisms - submersible pumps or special stations;
• equipment with which the pressure is regulated in the water supply system, as well as expansion tanks;
• electrical equipment control of water supply and protective elements for it;
• filtration devices that clean the water before being supplied to the house;
• A cumulative boiler providing the building with hot water.

Most often, the water system is equipped in the country on the principle of a winter water supply. This method of mounting pipes implies their additional insulation, in order to avoid freezing of water in the winter.

By laying a plastic water supply in the country, the source of water from which the entire system will be functioned should initially find. Most often, a well or well acts as such a source, the option of conducting a water supply from the captive spring chamber is also possible.

Each of these sources have certain advantages and disadvantages. The drilling of the well requires huge material investments, but the water from it comes more pure than from the well. At the same time, arranging a well, it will have to be much smaller, however, the water in quality will be lower.

To supply water to the house, pumping equipment is used. Among its main options, we note:

1. Submissive pumps - differ in silent work, well pumping water at a depth. Such pumps have a check valve and a hydraulic battery. When choosing this equipment, pay special attention to the materials from which the working wheels are built. If the level of water pollution is quite high, then use the stainless steel wheel in this case.

2. If the level at which water is below eight meters, then the surface pump is sufficient. It is located indoors and from there pumps water, connecting to the well using a pipe.

3. Automated pumping stations - have a hydraulic part and an electric engine. In order to pump water in the system, generators operating on diesel or gasoline fuel are used. The tank for hydroxide also performs the function of the tank in which water accumulates. The cost of pumping stations is quite high compared to conventional pumps, in addition, some of the models are quite noisy. Their installation in a small summer cottage is irrelevant.

When equipping the water supply in the country, pay special attention to pipes. Reliable and durable materials will operate the water supply system of a trouble -free. The water supply in the dacha made of polypropylene pipes is characterized by a high level of reliability, resistance to the temperature difference, are easily mounted and have excellent performance.

To connect the pipes, the presence of a soldering iron will be required. Some of the pipes are collected in advance, and then installed in the place intended for it. Keep in mind that for welding pipes it is necessary to leave a supply by approximately 80 mm. Some pipes are fixed on the spot with the help of special holders.

A previously manufactured water system project will help to determine the installation site of the pipes. The pipes should not interfere with the rooms, it is better if they are hidden on a hinged ceiling or plasterboard wall.

In order to adjust the pressure in the system, the installation of an expansion tank will be required. For a standard country house in one floor, a capacity of 70 liters of water is quite enough. Next, you should pay attention to the boiler node. In this place, a boiler and expansion tank itself are installed. Keep in mind that expansion tanks are painted red, and tap in blue.

Further work on the water supply in the country, are associated with the installation of the filtration system. In order not only to clean, but also to protect water, it is recommended to install special filters when water from the well or well leaves the well. The type and model of filters in most cases is determined individually and depend on the composition and degree of water pollution in a particular area.

For example, if the water contains a large amount of iron, then it is enough to install two filters that ensure its cleaning. The first - a filter of ion -intensive type - allows you to get rid of the dissolved iron, and the second - a coal filter that provides mechanical water treatment.

To determine the composition of the water and its suitability for home use, it should be handed over to the laboratory for certain analyzes. With unsatisfactory results, certain filters should be added.

Features of the construction of a summer water supply in the country

If the cottage is a place of rest for its owners only in the summer of the year, then the summer water supply is enough, with which you can provide water with water in the warm season. Using this system, you can not only water the beds and garden, but also swim in the summer soul and wash the dishes.

To arrange a summer water supply in the country, a flexible hose and adapters will be required. Connectors for hoses should be made of steel or plastic, as they are amenable to high pressure from the system. It is preferable to choose steel options for adapters with a galvanized coating.

Pipes are laid in the country in two ways:

• The location of the water system is directly on the ground - in this case, it is easily mounted and dismantled, however, it is under constant exposure to mechanical factors and solar radiation;
• Installation of pipes into the ground is a few centimeters, while the taps are located outside, such a system is more convenient and does not interfere when walking.

Before the start of winter, the water from the pipes completely merges, in order to avoid damage to the pipes in severe frosts. Among the advantages of the water supply in the ground, we note:

• convenient location of the pipes;
• carrying out work on laying pipes only once;
• hiding pipes from thieves;
• In order to completely drain the water from the system, just open the crane.

Permanent summer water supply has such disadvantages:

• increase in material and physical costs compared to the open water system;
• The need to comply with the slope, otherwise, will not be able to remove water from the pipes;
• The repair in this case is difficult.

Pipes on the open version of the pipeline are above the ground or lie on it. Among the advantages of this method of arranging the water system we note:

• speed of installation and dismantling;
• ease of repairs, since all pipes are visible to visual inspection;
• Reducing the costs of digging trenches and installing pipes under the slope.

At the same time, this water supply is distinguished by the following shortcomings:

• pipes prevent freely move around the site;
• The need for constant dismantling and installation.

Initially, it should be determined with the type of water supply, which will be equipped in the country. Next, you should create a water pipeline project in the country with your own hands from the pipes. Keep in mind that during the laying of pipes, you should observe a slope in relation to the main point of water supply.

In places for the removal of water to the outside, the pipes laid in the ground come out. The lowest point of such a water supply is equipped with a valve that provides water drainage, if necessary.

It is better to choose pipes for the water supply in the country from plastic or polypropylene. They are easily interconnected by flexible hoses. Also, the option of connecting pipes using fittings or special soldering equipment is possible. In addition, the presence of tees, cranes and coal elements will be required.

The depth of the base for laying pipes is from 25 to 40 cm, to prevent their damage mechanically. The layout of the water supply should be recorded in the project, so that if necessary in the repair, it is easy to extract pipes.

If the system is collapsible, then the use of the simplest rubber hoses is enough. For their connection, special jumpers or scrapers are used together.

To ensure the garden, summer watering will need:

• polyethylene pipes;
• compression couplings;
• ball crane;
• tee and corners;
• Fumnity.

To assemble such a water supply, one day is enough, the use of fittings significantly accelerates this process.

If the water is supplied to the site from a steel pipe, then a special tee will be required to connect a regular hose to it. It is installed on the pipe and tightened with a bolt. Next, you should install a ball valve, with which the process of monitoring the inclusion and off of water will be carried out.

If it is planned to install a hidden water supply, then it is necessary to dig trenches, up to 20 cm deep on the lawn and 50 cm on the beds. Next, the pipes should be laid by connecting from each other using fittings. Do not forget about observing the slope of the installation of pipes. The ratio with the beds determines the places of watering. The optimal number of pipeline findings is from 5 to 10 pieces. At the output of the hose, a system of automatic spraying of water is installed.

Water supply in the country from the well: installation technology

If there is a well in the country, then it can be an excellent source for water supply. Among the advantages of building a well in the country, we note:

• independence from electricity and other environmental factors, constant water supply;
• The water from the well differs with a smaller iron content than the flowing, however, in any case, it is recommended to clean water using special filters;
• In the process of using the well, it is recommended to equip it with a submersible pump, which provides water delivery directly to the house;
• The process of installing a water supply from a well is much easier and cheaper than from a well.

The water supply scheme from the well is originally built. It clearly indicates the installation site of each pipe and pump system, the number of filters and points of water consumption. You should also determine in advance the installation site of the boiler and the expansion tank. Proper preparation of a water supply project will help to quickly calculate and purchase the materials necessary for work.

Since submersible pumps are distinguished by silent work, it is they who are used for water supply in the country. The pump is installed in the well at a distance of 80 cm from its bottom. In order to ensure draining all the water from the system to the well, it must be laid under the slope to it.

In order to lay pipes, initially equip the trenches. Their depth depends on the climatic conditions of the region in which work is carried out. If the water supply is used in winter, then the minimum value of the depth of the trench will be 200 cm.

Installation of the relay will provide the necessary level of pressure, which is present in the tap system. If the water in the well is absent, then the relay that is responsible for the dry move comes into effect. Next, the accumulator and tees are installed, which divide the water into drinking and technical. Another of the tees divides the water into cold and hot.

It is very difficult to build a water supply in the cottage from a well. The arrangement of the well itself and equipment that supplies water from it is distinguished by special material costs. Therefore, it is better to entrust this process to specialists.
