Arrangement of a water well in a private house: drawings

The presence of an own water source on the site plays a very important role. If there is no centralized water supply, the best way is to construct a well for water in a private house, which will allow uninterrupted independent water supply throughout the adjacent territory. It is possible to make a well not only with the help of specialists, but also independently. This requires money, the availability of necessary equipment, tools, as well as free time and desire.

Types of wells

The device of a water well in a private house can be of two kinds.

Sand well is selected at low water flow rates (up to 2 cubes per hour). It is drilled with a depth of 25-30 m until it reaches the water-bearing layer of sand. Then the well is reinforced with pipes, a gravel filter is placed on the bottom and the submersible pump is lowered. The resulting water from the well is of high quality, which can not be said about the wells. In addition, the cost of money and time to build such a design is relatively small. But any sand well has its drawbacks:

• Fragility (up to 10 years);
• A small water reserve;
• Rather rapid siltation, which necessitates periodic cleaning and pumping of water.

Artesian well is the most profitable option for permanent country living. Such a well is drilled to a great depth, which can be one hundred and more meters. The huge advantage of an artesian well is its unlimited potential: its source is almost inexhaustible, and the productivity reaches 10 cubes of water per hour. In addition, the water is of high quality, does not silt and does not dry out.

However, such a device for water in a private house at a cost will be slightly more expensive than the construction of a sandy source, but such expenses will pay off fairly quickly. The productivity of the artesian well is very high, it is enough for water supply of a large plot with all residential buildings. Such a source can last more than 50 years.

Stages of the system of autonomous water supply

Let's consider, as the device of a chink for water in the private house looks. Step-by-step instruction:

• Choose the location of the future well;

How to make a water well in a private house with your own hands? Drawings are a guarantee of successful implementation of an autonomous water supply system.

It is important to know that according to the existing legislation, it is necessary to have an individual passport for each well. It is issued by the organization that performed the drilling. The passport will be required for submission to the registration authorities.

Design of a water well in a private house: an overview

Water supply of a private house with the help of a well provides for the fulfillment of a number of works that are carried out in accordance with the project. It is recommended to order it in specialized organizations. The water supply system should provide a system of filters and a well for servicing equipment, through which water will be supplied.

Water supply from the well at the site is possible in case of irregular use of the structure, however, there is a possibility of rapid siltation. To avoid this, it is recommended to periodically pump the well. It is also desirable for the winter to do conservation of the system (completely drain the water).

Pumps

When organizing an autonomous water supply to a private house from a well, it is very important to organize a reliable mechanism for lifting water. The modern market offers a variety of pumps from a wide variety of manufacturers. Which one is right for your system?

To make the right choice, it is necessary to study the principle of operation of various types of pumps and the parameters of the source from which water will swing. On the right choice depends on the smooth operation of the water supply system.

What should be considered when choosing a pump?

First of all, it is recommended to pay attention to such parameters:

• Total depth of the well and water level in it;
• The total amount of water needed for you per day, including watering the garden;
• Water pressure in the well. It can be calculated as follows: to the depth of the well we add 30, and the resulting amount is increased by 10%. It is most effective to choose a head in 90 m;
• Diameter of the wellbore;
• Cost of the unit.

Types of pumps

Before you buy a pump, you need to determine its type.

All pumps are divided into two classes:

• Surface pumps are different in that their body is located on land or directly on the water surface. It is held by a special float. This type of pump can pump water from a depth of not more than 9 meters, which limits its use in wells.
• Submersible pumps are completely lowered into the pumped water.

Separation on the principle of the device:

• Centrifugal pumps have a shaft with propeller blades, thanks to which a centrifugal force is created, which allows pumping water.
• Vibration pumps contain a membrane. Pumping of water in them occurs due to the difference in pressure indicators, which is formed inside and outside.

When buying a pump, it is better to choose models in which a thermal switch is provided to protect the motor from overheating.

Do not think that the more power the pump, the better. Excessive power can cause specific problems throughout the system.

It is better to consult a specialist and get a pump with the capacity built in the project.

The device of a water well in a private house: a hand pump

When using manual borehole pumps, the volumes and speed of water supply can not be compared with the use of automatic analogs. However, this principle of work has one great advantage: complete dependence on communications and external conditions. Due to this quality, hand pumps become indispensable helpers when supplying small areas or raising water from shallow wells.

Where manual water pumps are used

The manual pump is most suitable to use in the following cases:

• Lack of centralized (permanent) provision of electrical energy;
• Minimum daily water consumption;
• Well and well have a shallow depth;
• Equivalent replacement of the traditional bucket and cable with public use of water resources;
• Emergency (reserve) source of hydraulic energy.

How to organize a well in-house?

The construction of a water well in a private house can be done on its own.

First of all, it is necessary to determine the aquifer in the territory. For this, there are several methods for finding a place to drill a hole in the ground:

• The terrain data are used (maps showing the location of groundwater);
• Observations of plants and natural phenomena are carried out;
• Searching for water using willow twigs is carried out.

We propose to consider the construction of a well for water in a private house without a caisson.

After determining the location for drilling, you need to choose the way in which the well will be made. The most effective method is drilling. For self-fulfillment of this work a small-sized drill rig is used, which is suitable for use even by non-professionals, or a self-made hand drill. It is a bar, at the end of which the cutting element is located. The borer loosens the soil, which is taken up by screw-like plates located on the rod after the cutting elements. As a result, the length of the bar increases.

After the passage of the aquifer, the drilling process is stopped. Further, the well is prepared for full functioning. First of all, the borehole is carefully cleaned with a bailer, then the filter is lowered to the bottom, and the remaining space is filled with coarse sand.

The construction of a water well in a private house (photo you can see in our article) needs the following equipment for use. For this purpose, the walls of the well are reinforced with asbestos-cement pipes. This is done in order to ensure unimpeded and maximally clean access to the aquifer (without soil elements).

How to properly position the asbestos-cement pipe in the well

Before performing this stage of work, the following factors should be considered:

• For a more convenient arrangement, the pipe diameter should be chosen slightly less than the diameter of the well.
• It is recommended to place the whole pipe directly. If this is not possible, you can select pieces of pipe with the same diameter and even edges, which minimizes the possibility of contamination of the water source.
• Each section of the borehole casing is carefully fixed with special clamps, which helps to prevent the casing settling deep into the aquifer and blocking access to water.
• Since there is a frequent lifting of the pipe from the well, you should consider how to fix it on the surface.

After installing the pipes it is necessary to determine how the water will be lifted to the surface from the depth. The most successful way is to use a submersible pump and draw hoses from it to pump water into the house and in the irrigation tank. The power of such a pump must be calculated in advance, given the height at which the resources from the well will be fed.

We briefly reviewed the construction of a water well in a private house. How to hold water resources on your own, you already know. Now you can do the decoration, which also matters. There are many options, for example - the construction of a wooden frame, a carved canopy, the design of a well with special boulders made of artificial stone. Now include your imagination and create coziness on your site.
