Well at the House

Any owner of a private house wants to live in comfort. And the uninterrupted supply of clean drinking water is the main criterion for a comfortable life. But not every suburban area, unlike electricity, is equipped with communications of the central water supply. This task of providing clean drinking water can be solved with the help of a personal well facility.

The construction of the well is under the power of any ordinary suburban resident. To successfully build a personal well, you need to follow a few tips. The only reason for the inexpediency of building a well may be a very low occurrence of groundwater, suitable for domestic use and drinking, then the construction of a well requires large labor and material costs.

If the above problem is not present, you can safely proceed to the device of the well. Initially, it is necessary to determine the location of the well. To avoid contamination, as well as groundwater fed by it, the shaft of the well must be located no closer than 30 meters from pollution sources: paddocks for livestock, street toilets, garbage pits, highways.

Initially, it is necessary to decide what the walls of the well will be made of. The most common material is reinforced concrete rings up to one meter in diameter. This design will provide the well with a long operation and will allow it to be used by more than one generation of your family. Also, the walls can be made of wooden logs not less than 20 cm in diameter. The lower part of the walls, which will directly contact the water, are spread out of the woods that do not affect the smell and taste of the water - it is ligature, alder, oak. The upper part of the walls can be laid out of pine. Even less often, the walls are made of brick or stone, but this design requires more time and effort, so this option is not as popular as the previous two.

The most dangerous and time-consuming part of the construction is the pit mine shaft. To avoid the collapse of the soil from the walls of the mine, simultaneous erection of the walls of the well is necessary. As the lower layers of soil are removed, the reinforced concrete rings under their own weight will be lowered, then they are fastened together with metal clips. When erecting wooden walls, when reporting the upper part, it is necessary to use the level to avoid skewing and curving the structure. Having reached the depth of the aquifer, it is necessary to go deeper for another 1.5 meters. For the natural purification of water from coarse impurities and for avoiding turbidity in the collection of water at the bottom of the well, it is necessary to arrange a thick sand layer. After the completion of the construction of the walls of the well, it is necessary to make a stone or paving tile.

When the well is completed, make sure that the water from your well is suitable for drinking. For this, it is necessary to analyze water samples in the sanitary epidemiological station. And only after that you can enjoy fresh water.

The mechanism of water intake can be different. The traditional option: a gate with a bucket on the chain and a lever. Alternatively, water can be supplied by a hydraulic pump.

The well must always be closed with a lid to prevent trash and leaves from entering the trees. Decorative finish of the well depends on the taste preferences of the owners. Often a well is made in the general style of a suburban area, and it becomes not only a household necessity, but also an aesthetic decoration of the yard.

Do not forget that every well needs to be cleaned once a year. Walls must be cleaned of accumulated dirt and mucus, and the sand at the bottom is replaced or sifted by the old one and used again. Cleaning a well is an unsafe event, to prevent accidents and accidental injuries, it is not worth doing such work alone. Because of the intersection of different layers of soil, the accumulation of gases in the well can not be ruled out, and there may also be a shortage of oxygen. Make sure the strength of the rope and the fasteners with which you intend to go down into the shaft of the well. To clean the walls and the bottom, use special tools that will be tied to the fastener to avoid falling to the bottom of the well.

No one disputes that the construction of a well is a hard work, and in order to keep it in good condition, you need to make a lot of efforts, but all these costs are worth it so that you and your children drink clean, fresh water, without the content of harmful impurities after chemical Cleaning. It has long been known that water is one of the main aspects that affect our health and life expectancy. If you have already chosen a country life, thereby providing yourself with clean air, then nothing prevents you from supplying yourself with clean well water.
