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 should be purchased
Arrangement of wells for water is carried out using equipment such as:
You will only have to buy a check valve if the selected pump is not equipped with it. Sometimes the owners of suburban areas acquire 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 put on a well with a depth of not more than 20 m.
Mine pumping
Arrangement of wells for water should begin precisely with this operation. The fact is that in a newly drilled mine, water is never too clean. A certain amount of sand will be dissolved in it. Modern submersible pumps, for the most part, are designed to draw exclusively clean water. If you immediately lower expensive equipment of this type into the well, it can simply break. Therefore, pumping the mine before proceeding with its arrangement should be mandatory. To do this, you should buy an inexpensive small submersible well pump for 1500-2000 r. It is always impossible to use such equipment in deep mines. Just for pumping it fits very well.
Construction of a caisson
After the well is pumped, you can proceed with 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 be cheaper.
It is a home-made caisson pit about 2 m deep with concrete walls and a bottom. A caisson is arranged directly around the well shaft. After completion of excavation, the casing should be cut so that subsequently it is convenient to install pumping equipment. Then proceed to concreting the walls of the caisson. To do this, install the formwork and place the reinforcement in it. The walls are filled in such a way that bumps form above the caisson. In the future, this will prevent the ingress of rain and melt water. At the next stage, you can begin to fill the screed at the bottom of the caisson. It also needs to be reinforced. While the concrete is setting, you can dig a trench from the house to the caisson.
Brands of pumps
All existing in-market deep equipment for this type of well is quite reliable and productive. When choosing a pump, first of all, 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 Russian-made Vodomet, equipment of the middle price category Pedrollo (Italy) and expensive German Grundfos. But of course, you can purchase the unit and some other well-known brand. Even the very cheap Chinese models sold today by specialized stores are considered quite high quality.
What options to look for when buying
They choose pumps for the well for water, taking into account, among other things, their characteristics such as:
Performance. It is believed that equipment for 40-60 l / min is suitable for an average family.
Pump head This indicator is very easy to calculate. For this, thirty should be added to the depth of the well. To the resulting figure, you need to add another 10%.
Case Diameter Of course, this figure should be less than the hole of the casing.
Arrangement of wells for water: 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 leveling.
Then it must be tightly connected to the pump.
Then the power cable is connected and straightened along the pipe.
A 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.
The final stage
After the preparatory work is completed, the head should be worn on the casing. Then you can proceed with the actual installation of the pump. Lower it into the shaft should be as carefully as possible, trying not to touch the walls. After the unit is installed, proceed with the installation of the accumulator and all other necessary equipment. First, a fitting is attached to the tank, then a pressure gauge, a relay-regulator and, finally, a pipe coming from the pump. After connecting the mains going from the house to the hydraulic accumulator and a test run, the work on the arrangement of the well can be considered completed.
Features of artesian well equipment
Above we considered the technique of arranging not too deep wells “on the sand”. But sometimes the owners of suburban areas drill deeper mines called artesian. The installation of wells of this type, since they have a significant depth, is expensive. Sometimes water from such mines even goes under pressure itself. 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 development of such wells is far from possible in all places. Therefore, artesian in Russia is often called an ordinary mine, which has reached the calcareous layer. That is just very deep. The arrangement of an artesian well on this type of water is also carried out using a pump. In this case, it is necessary to purchase powerful equipment designed specifically for this kind of mines.
Well for water: the price of construction
The companies that provide the equipment for the mines of private houses are usually the same companies that are involved 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 at different companies may vary slightly. It all depends on how deep it is and how the well will be equipped with water. The price for the construction of mines up to 20-40 m on average can be 15-30 thousand rubles. Usually only common well equipment is more expensive. For example, intended for the whole cottage village.
Setting up water wells is thus a relatively straightforward procedure. However, time and effort to mine equipment, of course, still have to. Therefore, to do this work yourself is only if you want to save. People who are not constrained by the means, of course, are best to hire specialists to carry out this operation.
