Plumbing in the country, even if it is a summer, temporary version, performs many important functions. This is watering the garden and garden, street needs, summer shower, bath water supply, even at home, if the design is made in the capital version. To make the system happy and work smoothly, it is necessary to pay attention to all its components. Especially important is the right choice of pipes - different materials serve different purposes. For example, the function and creation of a water supply system at a dacha from PND is radically different from the temporary version of rubber hoses.

Before you take care of dacha water supply, you need to decide on the option of water supply. In a city apartment everything is very clear: water is needed in the bathroom, bathroom, in the kitchen. As for the option to give, before choosing materials for work, you need to decide why you need it?

The simplest option is a summer folding design for watering, garden needs, and a shower in the street. Its peculiarity is that the pipes are laid on the surface of the soil, and for the winter they are disassembled and retracted to a warm place. Therefore, the materials for its creation can be almost any. The option of a stationary summer water supply also does not imply the use of particularly resistant materials. In this case the pipes are located in trenches under the ground, however, they are drained from them for the winter, which means that they cannot freeze and crack.


Possession of a country house provides unlimited opportunities for the manifestation of creativity, fantasy. Many choose ...

It is quite another thing - capital water, permanent. It is made according to the rules, with pipe laying under the ground in frost-resistant insulation. Such a system is suitable for year-round operation. Therefore, especially durable pipes are used here that are not afraid of frosts, temperature drops, boiling water from the inside. In addition, they must be durable, because every two to three years, digging up the ground and changing the water supply is not the greatest pleasure, and, moreover, it is very expensive.

For the construction is very important to choose the right pipes and insulating materials for them, because this will depend on the service life. Each material has its pros and cons, which must be considered.

Having decided on what system and with what purposes you need, you can choose pipes for water supply in the country.

What are the pipes

At the end of the last century there was no doubt in the choice of water pipes. All because there was no choice: metal pipes - the only option on the market of the past. Now mostly plastic pipes are used. But plastic is a very conventional concept. There are many variants of polymeric materials, and each of them has its advantages and disadvantages.

However, metal pipes should not be discounted, they are still in use, though not as common as various plastic options. If we talk in general, then you can create a water supply system in the country with your own hands from such materials:

  • rubber hoses;
  • black steel;
  • galvanized steel;
  • metal plastic;
  • polypropylene;
  • HDPE (low pressure polyethylene);
  • PVC (polyvinyl chloride).

The choice of material depends on how you want to use plumbing. Therefore, it is impossible to say which material is better and which is worse.

Lightweight, easy-to-install, well-disassembled tubes are suitable for the summer folding option. For capital, however, those that are resistant to corrosion, withstand temperature changes, pressure and other effects are well tolerated.

Types of pipes

All materials have their own advantages and disadvantages. Next, we consider in more detail how different pipes differ, how they it is better, and the worse their "competitors".

Rubber

Rubber hoses - version of the suburban water supply system, if it is a summer folding design. Rubber is a flexible material, so such tubes can easily be located on the surface of the earth without interfering with the performance of any work and movement around the site. Watering the aqueduct, that is, one that is used exclusively for irrigation of the infield, is well done with rubber, thanks to its flexibility, maneuverability and ease of installation.

Black steel

Black steel is a high strength material. However, at present it is not very popular due to the fact that it is difficult to install, prone to corrosion. The first problems with such pipes may appear in five years. But black steel pipes are not afraid of almost any mechanical effect. They are durable, shock-resistant, withstand high pressure, as well as its drops and temperature drops.

Galvanized steel

Unlike its predecessor, black steel, galvanized is resistant to corrosion, while also maintaining high mechanical strength. It would be a great material, if not a complicated installation. So, to work with metal requires welding, as well as the creation of thread.

Metal plastic

This option combines the advantages of metal and polymeric materials. When creating such a construction, an aluminum pipe is placed between two polymer layers. Thus it turns out that the metal is reliably protected from the inside and outside, and therefore is not susceptible to corrosion. And due to the metal base, the pipe is strong, resistant to any effects.

At the same time, metal-plastic pipes on the market are presented with various options at an affordable price, and installation is quite simple.

Polypropylene

Polypropylene is essentially a kind of plastic. The construction of the summer water supply system in the country from polypropylene pipes is quite strong, and it is easy to assemble and dismantle. In addition, this material is suitable for capital year-round system, as represented by various options:

  • for sewage;
  • for cold water supply;
  • for hot water supply;
  • for heating.

Polypropylene water pipe is resistant to hot and cold temperatures. Therefore, this material is used not only in private farms, but also for industrial needs. Such pipes are connected by soldering.

HDPE (Low Pressure Polyethylene)

Currently it is one of the most popular materials. We can say that HDPE pipes for plumbing to the country - an ideal option. Judge for yourself. So, this material allows you to assemble the system without the use of additional equipment, since all the fittings are already threaded, and you can tighten them with your hands without much effort.

The system of HDPE pipes is very durable, can last up to 50 years. That's because this material does not rust, does not corrode, and is resistant to chemical and mechanical stress. In addition, it withstands high temperatures, and when water freezes, it does not burst, but stretches. Therefore, even if you forget to drain liquid from the PND of the summer water pipes for the winter, nothing terrible will happen.

Various versions of such pipes are suitable for low and high pressure.

PVC (polyvinyl chloride)


PVC is another popular modern option for making pipes. Their cost is lower than that of polyethylene. However, some qualities are also lower. Mounting design is carried out using cold welding. With proper use, the usage period is also 50 years.

However, such a pipeline is afraid of mechanical stress. In the presence of scratches, the strength of the whole structure suffers, therefore the variant is completely unsuitable for summer surface water supply. If you choose PVC for a stationary construction, then you need to consider two points. First, they can be laid only in isolation. Secondly, they do not withstand temperatures above +45 and below -15 degrees Celsius. So, the PVC water supply is suitable only for summer stationary cold water supply.

Fittings for plastic pipes

When creating a suburban plumbing from plastic pipes, it is important to choose not only the variation of this material, but also to select the necessary fittings for it. Most commonly used are:

  • couplings for tightness of pipe joints of the same diameter;
  • adapter sleeves for connecting pipes of different diameters and connecting to the main line;
  • coupling tee for easy removal of fluid;
  • threaded coupling for combining pipes with a long-existing plumbing system using threaded connections;
  • flange connection for connection to the water discharge manifold;
  • coupling “saddle” for connecting a pipe of smaller diameter to the main line;
  • coupling cap to create a tight end of the pipeline or to disconnect.

In addition, given the fact that pipes made of HDPE, for example, do not bend at a right angle, there are special connecting swivel fittings.

It is important that the strength of the plumbing from polyethylene pipes largely depends on the correctly selected fittings and correctly carried out installation.

There are other options for fittings. When choosing a pipe in any store, you can also select additional suitable items.

Installation Features

Having defined the features of the water supply system, you can proceed to the preparation and installation of selected structures.

  1. We make a plan. The layout of the dacha water supply should take into account all the features of the site It is also necessary to make all the necessary measurements.
  2. Choosing materials. You should choose and purchase materials only after you have decided which pipes you will use and how much they need.
  3. Release the plot. During installation, nothing should interfere with the process.
  4. We start earthworks. This item is relevant if a major plumbing is under construction. If the system is shallow, trenching is not necessary.
  5. We carry out installation of pipes. Pipes are stacked in place, fastened together.
  6. We connect all systems. Then you can connect the system to the pumping station and check its operation.

If after installation everything works according to the best scheme, you can bury the trenches, not forgetting the insulation, of course.


After pleasant but tedious holiday troubles, I want to wash off all the fatigue of this day under warm streams of water ....

Conclusion

Currently, it’s not a problem to choose pipes for creating a water supply system at the dacha. A variety of materials, shapes, sizes, huge. There are pipes literally for all occasions and for different situations: to create heating, for cold and hot, for sewage. The diameter of pipes, their resistance to temperature and pressure are also different.

Preference is now given to various versions of pipes made of plastic, polyethylene. They are durable, resistant to corrosion, wear. Designs from polymer options do not rust, and with proper, careful operation can serve for many years.



A well for water in the country is the main condition for the normal life of the site, housekeeping and the comfort of the guests. We have devoted this article to the story about how to adjust a water supply system at the dacha from a well the hands.

Water supply of the dacha

System composition

To establish high-quality water supply of a country house and a personal plot, it is necessary to solve a set of tasks. First of all, you should consider the system configuration and determine which elements it will include.

We want to present a standard for the present time system, which consists of several main nodes. The following table lists these nodes with a description:

Knot Composition Purpose and Requirements
Water source Well, open spring or well The source must provide the volume of water of satisfactory quality required for housekeeping.
Water lifting equipment Submersible or surface pump, pumping station The pump must be powerful enough to lift water from the depth and deliver it to the end user, while ensuring the necessary pressure and performance
External piping Water supply pipe to the house, water supply system for irrigation and technical needs Must ensure reliable passage of the estimated amount of water without leaks and contamination from the well into the house, and also to deliver water to the irrigation system
Cumulative capacity and automation Pressure tank, pressure switch with on / off switch and pump start switch Ensuring the necessary pressure, protection of pumping equipment from frequent starts
Filtration system Coarse filter, fine filter Filtration of water to ensure the normal operation of equipment and plumbing, water purification for ingestion
Internal pipeline Manifold or serial pipe wiring from the gyroaccumulator to each water consumption point, fittings and plumbing equipment The distribution of water between the points of consumption within the house
Heating system Electric boiler, gas boiler, boiler Heated water for hygienic needs, washing dishes and washing clothes, as well as for the needs of the heating system (optional)

Important!
  When designing a water supply system, you should immediately take into account and calculate the system of withdrawal and cleaning.
  Sewerage under dacha conditions most often consists of discharge pipes and a septic tank system, sometimes costing a cumulative collector, which periodically cleans the vacuum truck.

Previously, dacha co-operatives sometimes made a land reclamation system for water supplying plots, in which there was a pumping station and a surface pipeline supplying water from a source to consumers. As a rule, the source was a reservoir, and it was impossible to drink such water. In addition, the design assumed only summer use.

The water supply scheme we considered at the cottage from the well implies year-round uninterrupted supply of potable water not only for irrigation and economic needs, but also for ensuring the normal functioning of the whole house for the city. It will allow you to use the bathroom, bathroom, kitchen sink, washing machine and other amenities.

A source

The most important and essential node is the source of water supply.

There may be several options:

  • Well. The most common and traditional source in the country, is notable for its convenience, independence from power supply and sufficiently high-quality water, however, it has a limited performance margin;
  • Spring If you are the lucky owner of a spring on the site or near it, then you can power the feed system from it. It is distinguished by high quality water and degree of purification, as well as good performance and practically inexhaustible stock;
  • Well in the sand. Shallow well or Abyssinian needle. Its characteristics are similar to a well, however, it is less convenient and depends on the availability of electricity if there is no mechanical pump;
  • Artesian well. The highest quality source of water, the purity of which is beyond competition. Distinctive features are the high price of works and equipment, a good resource and high quality of raw materials, the need for permits and legal responsibility for the condition of the object.

If you get a well from the former owners of the plot, you can use it. Ask your neighbors what the quality of water in their wells is, whether it is constantly there or disappears depending on the season and weather conditions, and then boldly proceed to the installation of the remaining nodes.

Important!
  The well is convenient because you can always get water with a simple bucket on a rope, independence from breakdowns of the pipeline or pumping equipment, interruptions in power supply and other circumstances.

The spring on the site is such a rare luck that we will not consider this option. We believe that we are not lucky, and there is no spring nearby.

A well in the sand is the most acceptable type of well, since it does not require too deep a shaft and can be made by hand. As a rule, the bottomhole depth of such a well is from 10 to 35 meters, sometimes you have to go 50 meters.

Tip!
  If the groundwater level in your area is high, then you can make an Abyssinian source - a pipe with a needle and that is driven into the ground to the water level.

An artesian well costs a lot of money. In addition, you will need to formalize it, having previously received permission from the Rospotrebnadzor and the territorial Center for State Monitoring of the Subsoil, as artesian water belongs to strategic reserves and is protected by the state.

For the same reason, you will be responsible for the misuse of the well and the pollution of the aquifer.

Attention!
  If your site is less than 60x60 m, then you can get permission only as an exception, and if it is less than 30x30 meters, then you cannot see the artesian well.

Pump equipment

To lift water from the depth and feed it to the tank, you will need a pump.

There are two types of pumps for wells:

  1. Submersible or deep. They are located at a depth under the water column and are able to provide its rise to a height of 150 meters, depending on the power;
  2. Surface. Located on the surface and able to raise the water a maximum of 8 meters, with an external ejector - up to 45 meters.

Depth aggregates are considered more reliable and high-quality, however, they are more expensive. In addition, they are completely silent for the residents of the house, as they are located under water. The disadvantage is the difficulty of maintenance and repair, the need for supplying power to the well.

Surface pumps are relevant for shallow wells and wells located near the house. Now the most popular pumping stations, which are equipped with a hydroaccumulator and automatic start / stop of the pump, depending on the pressure in the system. They have lower performance and noise problems, especially when installed inside a house.

System installation

It will take a lot of time and effort to independently arrange the water supply of the dacha from the well.

Our instruction will help you not to make a mistake and correctly build the work:

  1. First, you must excavate and dig a trench at least 1.5 meters deep from the house to the water source. Insulated caisson should be fitted around the wellhead to prevent water from rising above freezing level;

  1. Then you should install the pump and adjust its work, make a test start and pump the well;

  1. After installing the submersible pump, the vertical pipe is brought to the caisson, if the pump is superficial - its output pipe is simply left intact. A water supply pipe is placed in a trench on a sand cushion, which is connected to a vertical pipe or pump outlet through a knee or fitting;

  1. In the basement of the house, a hydroaccumulator of 60 to 200 liters is installed, which is connected to the water supply pipe. Also, the starter, which feeds the pump with electricity, is collected nearby, the starter is powered through a pressure switch, which controls the pressure in the battery tank with a pressure gauge. The accumulator is connected to the collector of the internal water supply system;

  1. From the collector, pipes are installed to the water-heating boiler, bathtub, kitchen sink, toilet bowl, washstands and a conclusion is made for irrigation. From the boiler conduct pipes supplying hot water to the bath, sink and washstand;

  1. Start the pump and fill, check the operation of the automatic start-up and shutdown, the integrity and tightness of pipes, plumbing work and system performance. With all cranes open, there should be a normal head;

  1. If the test is successful, the trench is instilled, having previously sealed the place of pipe entry into the well and into the house.

The idea of ​​self-device summer water pipeline visits many owners of country houses. Water is necessary for summer residents for technical needs (watering plants, feeding animals, etc.) and taking hygienic procedures (showers, baths, etc.). Not all summer residents have the ability to connect to a centralized pipeline; there may be several reasons for this phenomenon:

  • remoteness of the site from the place of tie-in to the centralized water supply system;
  • high cost of work;
  • the need to install water meters to pay for resources, etc.

The origin of the idea

Sometimes the idea of ​​creating a summer water pipeline visits new owners of country houses, when living in a country house — seasonal and investing money in the installation of centralized water supply — is economically unwise.

Before setting up an autonomous summer version of water delivery, it is necessary to carefully study all possible options, comparing the effectiveness of certain materials. In recent years, cast iron and steel pipes have given way to new pipeline fragments - polypropylene pipes. The cost of such products is almost 4 times lower than the same diameter and length of the steel material. There is - savings. In addition, the ease of polypropylene allows you to mount any water system with your own hands, without special equipment and a professional team.

The easiest way to build a summer plumbing with your own hands:

Design and purchase of materials

Before you go to the store for materials and consumables for the future summer water supply, you should carefully consider its scheme. Ideally, this scheme is drawn on paper, with an indication of all the ramifications and selection points. You should definitely consider creating a couple of issues “just in case” (possible expansion of the irrigation zone for the next year, etc.).

Transferred to paper sketch is necessary for accurate calculation of the volume of materials. When designing, the following nuances should be taken into account:

  1. water in the summer water supply will move under low pressure, with positive ambient temperature parameters. All types of propylene pipes (PN-10, PN-20, etc.) are suitable for these requirements;
  2. the pipeline running along the surface of the site must have the necessary level of rigidity, which can provide pipes of at least 25 mm diameter. The optimal length of products is 2 m (it is convenient to transport even by private car). In addition, couplings (straight and angled) will be required;
  3. a coarse filter at the inlet to the pipeline will relieve the system of frequent blockages and breakdowns;
  4. an important detail is a coupling with a cap nut for quick separation of pipes;
  5. issues - to connect to the system of watering hoses, create a household outlet, etc. On the releases, it will be necessary to install 1/2 ″ ball valves;
  6. combined transitional fittings - for connecting pipes with metal elements;
  7. to create a drain for a summer shower - pipes with a diameter of 20 mm.
  8. Tees, equipped with plugs - plugs to drain the water at the end of the summer season. These parts are installed at the lowest points of the system so that water flows out of the pipes by gravity.

Important: summer water supply can be laid directly on the ground, because temperature drops (from heat to frost) from May to September are absent

Tool selection

To connect polypropylene pipes summer water supply will need a special tool - a soldering iron. This welding machine is designed specifically to perform these works and consists of the following parts:

  • a soldering iron equipped with heating elements and a control unit (with a temperature relay, indicators and switches);
  • set of replaceable nozzles for different diameter of polypropylene pipes. Fasten to the heating elements with special bolts;
  • stand required for fixing the soldering iron during the welding process.

Important: Teflon nozzles are absolutely not recommended to be cleaned with abrasive particles, this leads to abrasion of the upper layer (responsible for the quality of the connection of parts).

How polypropylene pipes are connected

Diffusion welding of polypropylene parts of the pipeline represents the melting of the connected surfaces after placing the welding machine in them. Experts recommend connecting only pipes of the same manufacturer, this is the only way to achieve high results.

Before placing the soldering head in the pipe, it is necessary to try on cold details, if you want to mark the depth of the dive (mark the top and bottom, if necessary) with a simple pencil or marker. It is mandatory to follow the recommendations of the welding machine manufacturer for compliance with cold welding modes: heating - welding - cooling. Prepared in advance elements for the connection are placed on the nozzles of the device:

  • fittings - moving on a special nozzle - mandrel;
  • pipes - are inserted into a special coupling nozzle.

Important: do not move the connected elements, scroll or otherwise change the position of pipes and fittings. This will weaken the strength of the seam, which subsequently adversely affect the strength of the whole structure.

The exact time required to withstand the welding of polypropylene pipes is given in the table:

Important: the timing of the welding itself must begin from the moment the molten parts join.

In the described way all the pipes of an improvised water supply system are connected, in the right places - fittings, adapters and taps are inserted. If you purchase materials in advance and prepare the machine for welding, you can cope with the work over the weekend.

If during assembly of the pipeline in some areas excessive pipe stresses are formed (uneven terrain, sharp turns, etc.), the polypropylene pipe itself can be bent slightly using a building hair dryer and a special nozzle.

To cut the parts of the water supply, you will need scissors manufactured specifically for cutting plastic pipes. These scissors differ in the sizes of the cut diameter (40-75 mm). Some masters use roller cutters. The cutting tool can be a simple grinder, handsaw or electric jigsaw.

What appears the very first on any country site? Think a fence? No, the first water appears on the site. Without it, neither construction, nor accommodation, nor the maintenance of the beds are possible. At the beginning of the “dacha” stage of life, the owners are engaged in arranging housing, a garden and a kitchen garden, but after a few years comfort comes to the fore. And when it’s annoying to run with a bucket to the well, summer residents decide to equip the summer water supply.

Choose the type of design

Before you begin to lay pipes, you need to decide on the type of water supply: permanent or collapsible.

The advantages and disadvantages of a permanent installation:

  • the pipes are underground and do not lie beneath their feet;
  • installation is carried out once;
  • with a long absence of pipe they will not steal (thieves are unlikely to dig into the ground);
  • to prepare the system for the winter, you just need to open the drain valve and wait until all the water is drained;
  • material costs are somewhat higher than when organizing a collapsible structure;
  • the process is time consuming, especially if you have to dig a deep trench;
  • the need for laying pipes under the slope;
  • if there is a hole, it is harder to find and fix.

If a collapsible water supply system is chosen, then the pipes can lie on the ground or be raised above it

Pros and cons of collapsible design:

  • quickly assembled and disassembled if necessary;
  • if the pipes were damaged, then finding and eliminating the hole is not difficult;
  • the cost of the disassembling device is somewhat lower than the fixed one;
  • pipes lie underfoot;
  • if in the summer you leave for a long time, left unattended pipes or hoses can simply steal;
  • the need for assembly and disassembly at the beginning and at the end of the season.

How to make a summer water supply in the country with their own hands - step by step actions

The device of the water supply system primarily involves the drafting of the project. It should be marked water consumption points, existing underground utilities, tracks and buildings. If in the future it is planned to place any structures, beds or structures, they should also be noted, especially if the structure is permanent.

Wiring diagram

When drafting a water supply system, it is necessary to take into account the placement of all buildings and facilities, as well as to plan the emergence of new

When designing a non-separable structure, it is important to remember that all pipes must be stowed under a bias relative to the point of connection to the water intake.

Pipes in the trench must be laid under the slope. This will allow to drain the water from the system for the winter and avoid rupture of the pipes

They come out of the earth only in places of consumption. A drain valve is installed at the lowest point of the system. In autumn, all the water needs to be drained, otherwise it will break the pipes.

Pipes are better to buy plastic or polyethylene. They are convenient to connect using flexible hoses. This will make it easy to alter the design of a permanent plumbing. You can connect pipes with plastic fittings or soldering. Also need tees, taps and corners.

In addition, it is necessary to dig a trench into which the pipes will be laid. Depth is usually 30-40 centimeters.

However, if the pipes pass directly under the beds and there is a high probability that they can be hooked with a shovel or a cultivator, then it is better to increase it to fifty to seventy centimeters. Of course, this is a lot of work, but if the pipes are pierced, it will be much more difficult to search for a flow.

The depth of the trench for summer water supply is much less than for normal. It ranges from thirty to seventy centimeters.

If the choice is made in favor of the folding scheme, then you can use not only plastic pipes, but also ordinary rubber hoses. They are connected by bridges, pieces of pipes or special clamps, which allow one to separate or connect two sections of the aqueduct.

Necessary materials

Most often, the laying of pipes is carried out because of the need for watering the garden. To provide water garden ten acres, you will need the following materials:

The use of fittings allows you to collect a summer water supply for irrigation in just one day. At the same time the junction is tight and easy to disassemble.

Installation steps


Summer water supply is not only a great way to avoid unnecessary work, but also an opportunity to create a “city” standard of living for those who live from April to October outside the city, you can wash the dishes under the faucet, connect the washing machine and organize a hot shower.

The importance of a full-fledged plumbing in the country is difficult to overestimate Without a permanent water supply, care for the site becomes extremely time-consuming, and ordinary washing of dishes turns into a real test, not to mention the use of modern household appliances that require connection to the water supply system and.

That is why almost every owner of the dacha wants to equip a full-fledged water supply. To cope with the solution of this problem is quite possible with their own hands. This is, firstly, an invaluable experience, and secondly, a great opportunity to save money by refusing the services of third-party craftsmen.

It is better if the planning of the water supply system will be carried out at the stage of drawing up a project for the suburban area and the house. A full-fledged project includes a number of drawings and documents, including:


For you need to allocate a small room on the first floor of the house. There will be enough space with an area of ​​3-4 m 2. It is more convenient when the water inlet unit and the necessary technical devices are located in the same room - this allows the owner to fully control the water supply process.

A typical private water supply system includes the following equipment:

  • pipeline. Suitable products made of polypropylene, metal-plastic and metal;
  • a set of valves and fittings;

  • pump;

  • pressure gauge;

  • expansion tank;

  • pressure switch;

  • electrical support with full automatic protection;
  • cleaning filters to remove suspended particles and various kinds of contaminants from the water composition;

  •   Installs as needed. In most cases, the cumulative model is more convenient.

Choice of water supply source

In the process of designing the dacha water pipeline, you need to select the optimal water source Check out the available options and select the most appropriate for your case.

The most simple and convenient option. It is important that the pressure in the system is sufficient to deliver water to the building. Otherwise, you will need to additionally buy a pump or consider other methods of water supply.

Water will be supplied to the building through a system of pipes and fittings.

In this case, for the installation of plumbing usually do not need to buy any additional devices - you just need to dig a trench, lay the elements of the plumbing and crash into the central highway.

If you cannot reach the central highway, consider the following options.

The method is suitable for areas with a depth of the underground aquifer not lower than 8-10 m.

The mine for the well is settled down by the efforts of 2-3 people - alone too long and difficult.

The main advantage of this option is the utmost simplicity of the system - it will be possible to take care and repair it on its own. The maintenance of such a well in a normal state does not require significant costs.

The main disadvantage is strictly limited water supply. Not every individual well can give as much water as is necessary to meet all the needs of the family.

Before you give preference to this option, calculate the amount of water you need and determine how much water a well can give.

The arrangement of a water system based on a shaft well requires the use of a surface pump. The equipment is relatively inexpensive and easy to maintain.

The superficial pump for country water supply from a well

Well

If the underground aquifer lies deeper than 8-10 m, it will have to drill a well. The pleasure is not cheap - the drillers take substantial enough money for their work.

But, having spent once the money on the arrangement of the well, you will provide your dacha with clean water in the required volumes. If you want to save, you can try to negotiate with your neighbors and make one well for several houses.

For the arrangement of the water supply system in this case, you need a special well or. Such equipment is much more expensive than its surface counterparts, but in terms of the effectiveness of providing clean water it has no equal.

Summer and winter water supply

Previously, you most likely had to hear such definitions as summer and winter water supply systems. Learn the basic properties of these options, it is possible that even the simplest summer version will be able to meet your needs. Otherwise, you can immediately proceed to the study of the following sections of the guide devoted to the arrangement of a full-fledged water supply system.

Summer option

The features of such a water supply system are clear from its name - the operation of such a system is possible only in the warm period. There are stationary and collapsible modifications of the system.

Collapsible summer water supply has a very simple design: it is enough to connect the hoses to a suitable pump according to the parameters and lay them on the soil surface so that they do not interfere with the normal movement of the summer cottage.

Hoses made of silicone and rubber are suitable for arranging the system. Connection is carried out using special adapters. Also in specialized stores are available more modern products for connecting hoses - latches. One side of this latch is equipped with a spring-loaded connector, and on the second there is a “ruff”. Using these snaps, the hoses are connected quickly, securely and easily.

Most often, a similar collapsible system is used for watering. To organize on its basis a full-fledged water supply for the solution of domestic needs is meaningless.

Laying of the stationary summer water pipeline is performed underground. Flexible hoses for arranging such a system are not suitable. The best option is plastic pipes.

Pipes stationary seasonal plumbing laid at a meter depth. After the end of the season, the water from the pipes must be pumped out; otherwise, with the arrival of cold weather, it will freeze and ruin the pipeline.

Because of this, pipes must be laid with a slope in the direction of the drain valve. Directly valve is mounted near the water source.

Winter option

Such water supply can be used throughout the year.

For the arrangement of the system are suitable pipes made of polyethylene and polypropylene. The first are sold at a lower price and are mounted without the use of special tools. The latter are somewhat more expensive and require the use of a soldering iron for pipes during installation. However, in the end, you will spend more money on additional parts for the installation of polyethylene-based pipes than on additional products used in the installation of polypropylene pipes.

Water pipes are stacked with a slight slope in the direction of the water supply source. The pipeline should be 200-250 mm below the ground freezing point.

There is also the option of laying pipes at a depth of 300 mm. In this case, an additional warming of the pipeline is performed. With the functions of insulation perfectly copes polyethylene foam. There are special products of a cylindrical shape. It is enough to simply put this otsilindrovanny polypropylene on the pipe and as a result the product will be reliably protected from cold and other adverse effects.

Not only winter pipes, but also a water source need additional warming.

For example, the well for winter is insulated and snowed. These activities will be enough to protect the structure from the cold.

The surface pumping equipment in case of its use is equipped with a caisson. Caisson is a pit with additional insulation, equipped next to a water source equipped with a pump.

Installation of automatic pumping stations can be performed only in a room where the air temperature does not fall to negative values ​​even in the most severe frosts.

The sewage system also needs warming. In case of its absence, the sewage will freeze and disrupt the drainage system.

Drafting

Begin by drafting a system. First decide on the equipment. Specify the locations of the points of water intake, calculate the required number of fittings, select the optimal material of manufacture and type of water pipes.

Plastic pipes are used most often. These are durable and reliable products that fully cope with all the tasks assigned to them. At the same time, plastic pipes do not rust, which allows them to be sewn into walls, unlike metal counterparts.

Make a detailed diagram of the future plumbing. On the drawing, specify all dimensions. So you can calculate the optimal footage and determine the desired number of components. At the same time, it is recommended to buy components with a 10-15 percent margin.

You must also decide whether you will choose and buy all the necessary equipment yourself, or you should immediately buy a ready-made water intake station. In this moment, be guided by your personal preferences.

Installation of plumbing components

First step

Dig a trench from a water source to the point of entry of the pipe into the building.

Second step

The equipment of the deep type is lowered into the water supply source. Surface pumps are mounted next to a well or a well. The pump is installed in a heated room or in a caisson.

Third step

Connect the water pipe to the installed pump. Attach the free end of the connected pipe to the five-way fitting.

Fourth step

Connect the storage tank, pressure gauge and pressure switch to the free outlet of the nozzle. The volume of the storage tank can reach 400-500 liters and even more. Thanks to this adaptation the optimum will be provided. In addition, water can be stored in the storage tank in case of unforeseen situations.

Fifth step

Connect the pipe to the remaining free choke, then run the line straight into the house along the previously leveled bottom of the dug trench. Also along the bottom of the pit you need to lay a secure cable to connect the pump and accumulator.

It is important that the socket intended for switching on the above-mentioned units is properly grounded.

Sixth step

Before the entry point of the pipe into the building, mount the stopcock. It will allow you to shut off the water supply when the need arises.

Seventh Step

After ensuring that the external piping is working properly, fill the pit and proceed with the installation of the internal wiring.

Regardless of the chosen source of water supply, the water supply system is strongly recommended to be equipped with cleaning devices.

Perform internal wiring in accordance with the previously prepared scheme. In this moment, be guided by your preferences. Do everything so that in the future it would be convenient for you to use the connected water supply system.

At the end, you will need to equip water intake points by connecting mixers, equipment, etc.

Providing hot water

If it is necessary to provide hot water supply, you can retrofit your water supply system with a water heater. There are accumulative and flow-through varieties of such equipment. At the cottages it is most convenient to use storage tanks.

Installation of the water heater is carried out according to the standard scheme for such equipment.

Now you know in what order the installation of the water supply system is carried out and what needs to be taken into account for the success of all related activities. Do everything in accordance with the provisions of this manual, and your water supply system will serve for many years.
