Unfortunately, it is not always possible to connect to an already running water supply in the suburban area of your choice. You should not be particularly upset about this - there is a way out of the situation. It cannot be argued that the water supply system of a house where the source of water is its own well is the cheapest option, but it still has some significant advantages.
It is quite simple to equip a well today, you can order specialists to do the work, you can do the work yourself - for this you need to buy a special device for manual drilling. Only here it should be taken into account that when tapping into a centralized water supply system, the water supply system of the house will immediately be filled with water having the appropriate pressure, and when connected to its own well, it will be necessary to pay attention to solving this problem.
Arrangement of a water supply system for a country house
The best option would be to build a well directly in the room, but this option is rarely realized - usually it is located at a certain distance. For this reason, the water supply system of the house is conditionally divided into a water intake and a highway laid in the courtyard and indoors. Internal water supply, in turn, consists of fittings (valves, pipes, valves, etc.) and consumers (mixers, taps, plumbing devices).
How to equip a well
The first thing to consider is that the water supply system at home will require equipment with additional electrical appliances, in particular a submersible electric pump, through which water will be supplied to the highway. Its capacity is calculated depending on the depth of the well and the estimated water requirements. Electrical equipment will operate at depth, i.e. a device for lowering and raising the pump, power cable and water hose should be provided at the planning stage. It can be a
winch, manual or electric. For ease of lowering, the cable can be connected to the hose, the gaps between the fixation points can be from 1.5 to 2 m, and the fasteners themselves must provide the ability to move the cable relative to the hose when some force is applied.
In some cases, a more rational option would be to use a complex system that provides for two or three synchronously working drums that will provide smooth lowering and lifting of the cable with the load, hose and cable. Pulling out the pump with a cable or water hose is not recommended!
Installation of a
water supply system for a
country house will also require digging trenches for laying water pipes. The calculation of the depth of the trenches should be done carefully, taking into account the
depth of freezing of the soil in the region. Water in pipes laid outdoors should not freeze even in the most severe frosts. If you have problems digging a deep trench, you can resort to performing pipe insulation using modern materials.
How to create the right water pressure
The water supply system of the house should also include a water tank, which is usually located on the second or attic floor of the room (in its highest part). Experts recommend equipping it with automatic level sensors that will control the operation of the pump. The presence of a water tank in the house will be useful in the case of episodic operation of a centralized water supply system - it will help to avoid problems with interruptions in water supply.
