The plumbing at the dacha with his hands: the simplest ways device

That the water supply in the country is needed to convince anyone not necessary. It is so obvious. And because we are immediately more detail on how to do the plumbing at the dacha with his hands, considering its use in different times of the year. We will look at summer and winter water, talk about water devices as well as provide a list of necessary tools.

 

Wells and wells

You first need to select the source of water. The cheapest and easiest way of ensuring giving fresh water is the construction of the well. It can have different depths. All depends on the depth of groundwater. Basically it does not exceed fifteen meters, but because of well construction costs with minimal costs. However, such a construction provides a small amount of water (up to 200 liters per hour), plus it encompasses a variety of contaminants (nitrates, heavy metals, bacteria).

More acceptable the option of building sand wells, the depth of which depending on the aquifer ranges from 15 to 30 meters.

Such a structure-an-hour to give approximately 1.5 cubic meter of water, enough for a small house.



 

Which is better, well or borehole?

Drilling sand screw hole is carried out by the method of — breed is retrieved to the surface. It usually takes 3 to 5 days. However, in the sandy aquifer contains many clay and sand, but because in this case you will need filtration equipment.



The deeper the well the more likely absence in the water of unwanted impurities

The best way to water is an artesian well. The water from it rises under pressure. This well can give about 10 cubic meters of water per hour. In this case, using the casing made of metal pipes. The life of this well is about fifty years.

 

Summer water supply with your own hands

First, consider the structure of water in the country, which will be operated only in the summer time. Use this water for irrigation in the country plants, summer soul connections and current household needs. In winter, its operation is not provided. Summer water supply in the country can be both permanent and collapsible.

The most common is the water pipes (hoses) which lie directly on the ground. Make this water pipe from a simple rubber or silicone hoses that are connected to each other by adapters. The connecting adapter is on sale, they are made of galvanized steel or plastic.

The sale also features special latch with one hand, which "ruffs", which put on the hose and on the other hand a convenient spring-loaded connector. These latches can be connected and disconnected in one movement. They are quite capable of providing a reliable junction. Note that when you buy hoses you need to take a rubber with thick walls that are reinforced with nylon fibers. Of course, the plastic water supply in the country will cost less, but these hoses will last longer — 15 years, at least.



Summer water in the country of plastic pipes

For regular summer water supply pipe must be laid in the ground, and on the surface of the taps to output. In this case, it is sufficient only a little bit to fill the pipes with earth so as not to stumble on them and for safety against theft.

The main disadvantage of permanent summer water supply — the need to respect the slope to connect to main highway. In the lowest point of the water place the drain valve to drain the water for the winter. Otherwise the water may freeze and break the pipe.

 

Winter country plumbing

Now let's talk about more substantial and capital schemes. Start with a description of winter water. Winter does not mean that it can be used only in the winter, just in the name implies that the water held on a permanent basis and can operate at any time of the year.



An example of an Autonomous winter plumbing at the cottage

To supply water from the well, it is better to use a submersible pump. Its capacity is selected depending on the depth at which water will be supplied. For the well to a depth of ten meters is quite a small "trickle" or "Aquarius". If water will be supplied from a well, you will have to buy a more powerful pump, which will cost significantly more.

Due to the fact that the installation of winter water system pump must be connected to the voltage source, a valid combination of cable laying and water supply in a single housing made of plastic sewer pipes. It is well protect from freezing and mechanical damage.

 

Laying of water pipe, plastic

For the laying of water pipe, you can use plastic pipes joints for soldering or special plastic fittings. To use a special soldering electric soldering machine. It is not very expensive in specialized stores often offer these soldering irons to hire. For the installation of tubing, a soldering iron will take longer than a day. The connections at the fittings perform a "bare hands" without soldering. For the average garden, it is quite suitable pipe with a diameter of 20 or 25 millimeters.



The fittings and connections for pipes

When laying the water pipe should be placed below the level of soil freezing. The value of this quantity for each specific climate zone can be found in special directories.

But often not to dig too deep a trench, you can use one of the following methods:

  • To sleep laid at a depth of 60 inches pipe of 20-30 cm insulation layer of polystyrene chips, furnace slag, expanded clay, etc. the Main condition is that the insulation is poorly absorbed moisture, and were durable enough.

  • To isolate the pipeline insulation system, consisting of special heat insulation and casing made of corrugated polyethylene. With this system the depth of the trench, you can do much less (about 30 centimeters).

  • Lay the heating cable, allowing altogether to lay the pipe on the surface. But will have to pay a lot for electricity.

Note that the trench should be close to the house at a right angle, because they need opposed to undermine a Foundation, resulting in his settlement and formation of cracks in the wall.

 

The connection of the pump to the water supply

To connect the pump to the water near the well it is necessary to arrange the pit depth of one meter, and the size of 70x70 inches. The walls of the pit lay brick, or strengthen in a different way, for example impregnated with antiseptic boards. The bottom of the pit it would be better to pour concrete or to lay gravel and tamp it down.



The connection of the pump to the water supply

In the pit of output and fix a water pipe with a "ruff" for attaching the hose that goes from the pump, and wiring. The function of the pit is that, if necessary, can be easily unplugged and removed the pump. The sump is insulated, to prevent freezing of the water in the pump hose.



Connection example of the pump

To connect the pump install a weatherproof outlet or use a sealed connector, better known as "dad-mom". The main condition is that the pump can be safely switched on and off, even if the cable is to be energized.

 

Water device



Ball valve water

How to make water in the country, we decided. Now a closer look at draw-off devices. For use in street conditions quite suitable bronze or cast iron gate valves and ordinary valves with the crane boxes.

Ball valves have an attractive appearance, but their use is not desirable: when the faucet for a long time is in the open position or Vice versa — closed, and also when strong temperature variations and the influence of precipitation – such cranes can quickly fail.

The most difficult element of water is the water knot, which is located outdoors or in an unheated room. To it impose special requirements, because he would have to operate at negative temperatures. Usually use the water points. The lack of speakers is the complexity of installation and high cost.

 

A simplified scheme of water supply

There is a simple circuit of water, which is far from perfect, but it may also be recommended to gardeners. Diagram of the device of the so-called faucet with drain hole is shown in Fig.



Diagram of the faucet with a drain hole

The principle of operation is quite simple and straightforward. At the bottom there is an additional drain, which has a very small hole, pick up empirically. Usually the hole diameter is one millimeter. When the valve is in the closed position, the water that fills "the jib" on this hole drains into the sump and does not have time to freeze. When the valve is in the open position, some portion of water also is in the pit and there absorbed into the ground, but as the diameter of the hole is very small, the main flow of water passing through the hydrant. In the summer the drain valve is completely cut off, "winter", the valve remains open, and is only "summer".

Such a scheme of water supply in the country has many disadvantages, among which we can distinguish two main: constant humidity in the pit and loss of water. But thanks to the simplicity and reliability of this design is widely used in the cottages.

 

Installation tools

To carry out installation of water supply in the country will need the following tools:

  • A cutter for cutting pipes
  • Allen wrench
  • Sandpaper
  • Gas kits and wrenches
  • Knife
  • Pencil
  • Roulette
  • A set of keys
So as not to tear the skin of the palms when tightening the fittings using a regular gas key of the second number. For excavation work use a good shovel with a small crowbar.

Finally, let us note that in the first place to perform the breakdown of the future trails of water on the ground, measure and calculate the number of valves, tees, corners, pipes, etc. published
