Currently, the most popular access to drinking water is the arrangement of wells. Especially in areas of country houses. A large number of people choose water from wells. Pure water from them does not have harmful substances and compounds.
Such sources of water are easy to use in the household and household.
Plastic caisson for a well: scope and advantages
The task is to ensure uninterrupted operation and water supply to residential premises. For these purposes, a plastic caisson for a well can be used. The material for its manufacture can be polypropylene or polyethylene.
These devices are able to provide protection of drinking water from mechanical damage, groundwater penetration.
Installation of a well due to a plastic caisson
Mounting the specified device is made into the ground at the casing, which enters the caisson at almost two meters depth. This depth allows you to ensure the safety of the pipe in case of severe frost on the soil.
Inside this design, it is possible to install additional equipment: filters, pumps, hydraulic accumulators.
Wastewater, groundwater and industrial water will definitely not get into drinking water if you use a plastic caisson under the well. Its plastic casing serves as protection for equipment that raises water from low temperatures and
groundwater. And also there is no need to allocate additional space for pumping and hydraulic tank equipment.
Additionally, a plastic caisson for a well can be equipped in the form of a branch pipe that will come to the surface. This is done for the convenience of watering the territory.
A plastic caisson for a well has the following advantages:
- Designs of this type are absolutely tight. Additional waterproofing is not required (as reinforced concrete structures). When installing these devices, crimp cuffs are used, which guarantees the tightness of the joints.
- Compared to metal and concrete structures, the plastic caisson for a well is lightweight. Thus, transportation and installation technology are facilitated. Some situations do not require construction equipment, which is extremely convenient in areas of limited space.
- Constant maintenance and repair work when installing plastic caissons for wells is not required.
- They do not corrode like metal structures.
- The service life of a plastic caisson for wells is about 50 years. Other traditional materials do not have a similar service life.
- Due to the high thermal insulation, the caisson can not be insulated. Subject to severe cold and frost, you may need to install an additional insulation shelf. For ease of maintenance, a ladder can be mounted in this device, and lock eyes can be installed on its roof.
- For a well caisson, the plastic price is much lower than for concrete, steel or reinforced concrete options.
