How to make water supply in a country house from a well

How convenient is it to supply water to a dacha or a private house from a well?

The water supply for a private home or dacha from a well, installed by the specialists of our company, is quite simple to operate; all manipulations to turn on, turn off and drain the water can be easily done even by an unprepared user. Management is so simple that an ordinary housewife can do it!

This country water supply system is fully automatic and works absolutely silently!

Draining water from the entire water supply system, including a capacitive heater and a hydraulic accumulator, the filter is done by turning 1 - 2 valves and pressing the button of a conventional switch.

Unlike a water supply system, in which the water source is a well, in an autonomous water supply system using a well, water must be drained not only into the well pipe, but also into the sewer network. This complicates the preservation process by adding another valve, and water supply from a well is also more difficult to maintain. The drain valve and pump in such a system are located in the well pipe, and since its end is the well head, it is quite difficult to get to them in the event of a breakdown.

In our design, the water supply at the dacha from a well is always equipped with a system for complete drainage of water for the winter or during the winter!

Do-it-yourself dacha

With high-quality water supply to a private country house, you will find maximum comfort. Therefore, the first thing that dacha owners need to do is provide water supply. If you cannot connect to the central water supply, then you can organize special autonomous water sources. An ordinary well is perfect for these purposes. With this method of organizing the necessary water supply, you will provide yourself with a practical and reliable autonomous water supply that will provide you with all the convenience.

What are the positive aspects of a well?

To install an autonomous type of water supply, a well or borehole is used. But option number two is considered the most optimal. A well is considered a more useful device, since its water does not contain dangerous iron. Cleaning it is very easy, and this is done with a regular shovel and bucket. The well is more durable than the previously mentioned well. This water supply is easy to use and maintain. If there is no electricity in a country house, you can draw water manually. When operating a well, it is best to use a submersible pump.

Before building the desired well, it is necessary to draw up a detailed diagram, which will indicate information about the location of all pipes. This way you can quickly calculate the amount of materials you will need during the work process. Having a plan in advance will help you avoid unwanted mistakes.

The water supply can be laid in a sequential manner. This option is ideal for small country houses. Water supply will be carried out through a pipeline. The parallel method is also actively used. In this case, each device has its own pipe. This method is suitable for houses with a fairly large area.

When choosing a pump, you need to take into account the depth of your well, and also do not forget about its performance and the distance from the well to the house. When organizing autonomous systems today, submersible and surface pumps are used. However, due to its low power, the water will not rise above ten meters. The pump is carefully installed inside the well. It is also necessary to purchase water tanks, which it is advisable to install on the roof of a country house. The volume of water will be monitored by a universal sensor, which is placed inside the water tank. As the water level drops, it turns on automatically.

Before directly installing the water supply, you need to start digging a trench in order to properly lay the water pipes. The minimum depth should vary up to one and a half meters. Next, make a small hole in the well. This is done using a sledgehammer. Then the pump is secured and a valve is screwed to it to prevent the water from flowing back. Next you need to connect the pipe and flexible hose. Electricity must also be supplied to the pump.

Hot water supply at the dacha, in a private house

Country water supply to a private house or dacha from a well necessarily includes hot water supply.

The source of hot water in the country is usually capacitive water heaters of various sizes; we install boilers with a volume of 30 to 100 liters, depending on the number of residents, water points and the structure of the system itself. As a rule, these are electric water heaters, but if the house is heated using main gas, then it is possible to install an indirect or combined heating boiler. The water in them is heated using a tubular spiral inside which the coolant of the heating system and an electric heating element circulates.

Hot water supply for the dacha

Electric water heaters - instantaneous or storage - are ideal for heating water from a well. Their advantages are simple connection and high efficiency. We recommend using a storage heater. Although it is slower, more expensive and larger than the flow type, it is more economical, and in case of a power outage you will have some supply of hot water. A 100 liter storage water heater with a 2.5 kW heating element will provide hot water for 4-5 people.

We use hydraulic accumulators in water supply systems

The water supply at the dacha from the well is also equipped with a hydraulic accumulator. These systems are quite economical, convenient, simple and therefore extremely reliable. They do not have any electronics, but only install automation that maintains stable pressure in the system.

At dachas, as a rule, we install hydraulic accumulators with a volume of 50 to 80 liters; this volume is more than enough to maintain stable pressure when dispensing water at 4-5 points.

We carry out underground water pipe installation

Water supply to a country house from a well includes an underground water supply system running from the well to the house.

Like the entire water supply system, it is laid at an angle towards the well, at a depth of 1.3 to 2 meters. Digging a trench is carried out manually, simultaneously with the installation of part of the system located inside the house. After leveling the base of the trench, a supply pipeline is laid. For underground installation, we use HDPE (low-density polyethylene) pipes with a diameter of 32 mm.

A submersible pump and a special drain valve are installed in the well, electrical cables are laid, after which the trench is buried. The trench is filled in stages, with each layer being thrombosed; an embankment in the form of a neat mound is made from the remaining soil along the length of the entire trench.

All of the above work is carried out by our specialists carefully and in the shortest possible time!

Sealing of pipe inlet and other waterproofing

All connections require reliable sealing. In addition, the well itself also needs waterproofing. This is due to several reasons.

To bring water into the house from a well, you don’t have to purchase a powerful pumping station

The need for waterproofing a well:

To keep the water clean, any possibility of contaminants that are located nearby should be eliminated. Soil waters and perched water always have an increased concentration of pathogenic microflora. That is why all leaks should be eliminated.
The walls of the well also need waterproofing. Although concrete is strong, it can begin to crumble over time. The strength will be compromised and groundwater may enter the system.

The main thing when waterproofing is to protect the well. That is why all joints and concrete rings are sealed. For a new well, waterproofing of the rings is carried out even before installation. This makes the material stronger and prevents any leaks.

External waterproofing is carried out using coating and further gluing of several layers of roofing material. But working with such rings is inconvenient. It is better to take special impregnations or primers. The material enters the pores, crystallizes and creates protection. It is better to cover the rings with two layers of impregnation.

If the well has already been built, then several rings need to be cleared of soil. When they dry, you can coat them and glue the roofing felt. It is better not to take bitumen; you should pay attention to hydronic mastics.

For external waterproofing, you will need to perform external bedding, install a clay seal and a concrete blind area. The work is carried out after installation of pipes and insulation.

Next you need to seal the joints. When laying the rings, a seal is installed between them. It is elastic, and when exposed to moisture, the material expands.

Correct installation of the water heating cable!

In cases where you are going to be at the dacha not only in summer, but also in winter, it is possible to install a water heating cable .
A water heating cable is necessary to heat water in a pipe section located underground or in an unheated basement.

It is installed through a special coupling directly into the pipe, thereby being in constant contact with water. Unlike outdated installation technology, when the wire was attached to the outer surface of the pipe, installing the cable in this way makes it possible to heat water in unheated areas of buildings more efficiently and less energy-consumingly. Thanks to this, its efficiency increases, which allows you to use the water supply system even in very severe frosts!

Selecting a water supply connection diagram

After arranging the well, you need to decide on the connection diagram. There are two ways to do this. It all depends on the needs of the owners.

Schemes for supplying water to a private house:

Using a submersible pump;
Application of a surface pumping station.

Any system necessarily includes a pipe supply from the well to the house. Schemes differ in design and arrangement of equipment. The first scheme involves placing a submersible pump on a cable at the bottom of the well. The pumping station is mounted on the surface. It can be installed in a house or in a caisson.

Before supplying water to the house, it is necessary to check its quality. Analysis is especially necessary if the liquid has a yellowish tint or an unpleasant odor. Depending on the results obtained, the optimal filter is selected.

Before carrying water into the house, it is recommended to clean the well
. The pumping station should be installed when the distance between the surface of the water and the highest point of the pipeline is no more than 7 m. This is due to the fact that the devices can lift water by a maximum of 10 m. The remaining distance is used to install a horizontal pipeline and tees.

For deep wells, in order to supply water to the house, it is necessary to choose submersible pumps. Installation has certain difficulties, but the operation of the device is more reliable and does not require constant filling of the pipes with liquid. Some surface stations can also perform long distance lifting, but the cost will be similar to submersible equipment.

The material we use is polypropylene!

All connections in the plumbing system installed using this material are connected by soldering. This happens in the following way: - with a special soldering iron, the surface of the edge of the pipe and the internal cavity of the connecting fittings are simultaneously heated to a temperature of 300 degrees, after which one is inserted into the other, thereby soldering, creating a monolithic connection.

Polypropylene water supply is absolutely sealed, so it can be laid not only openly, but also in a hidden way - under the cladding of walls made of various panels, lining, blockhouse and other lumber in wooden houses, under plaster, drywall, tiles - in brick, block, monolithic buildings .
