The wells, from which they scooped up water with a bucket, have already sunk into oblivion. Maybe somewhere similar remained in some remote village. But they were replaced by automation. Water itself enters the house, and a person does not need to go outside for it. Do-it-yourself water supply at a summer cottage is easy to arrange; it will solve a number of problems related to water supply.
The water supply is divided into two parts: street and internal. The first is responsible for the supply of water to a house or other room, and the second - for distributing it for different purposes, that is, offsets to the kitchen, bathroom directly to the taps. If the water supply with your own hands at the summer cottage is more complicated, then it is equipped with additional automation to control pump overloads and water flow. When arranging
a water supply system, one must be guided by the rule: all elements and parts must be easily accessible for maintenance and repair of the water supply system, in particular, this applies to internal communications.
Not all country cooperatives have a centralized highway, so you need to contact a specialized company that digs wells. Doing it yourself is unlikely to be possible, since often groundwater is located at great depths.
If the depth of the water is less than ten meters, then you can dig a well. It’s quite difficult on its own, so help from a couple of people and some knowledge in this area will be required. The advantage of this design is the possibility of construction without contacting specialized services.
But the plumbing, made by this type of summer house with its own hands, has its drawbacks, one of which is the limitation of water supply for a large family. Therefore, it is first necessary to calculate the estimated
water flow, and if necessary, increase the depth. A
surface pump is suitable for mine water intake
, it is easy to maintain and much cheaper.
If the depth of groundwater is more than ten meters, then here you can not do without a well. The drilling service is not cheap, but the costs are compensated by uninterrupted water supply in any volume. By constructing a water pipe with your own hands in a summer cottage, in order to reduce costs, you can share it with your neighbors.
Often people are in summer cottages, and therefore a permanent water supply system is inappropriate. You can do with an easy option for organizing water supply. As a pipeline, hoses are used that are connected to the taps and to the pump. Basically, such a water supply is used for watering the garden. After the end of the warm period, everything is easily disconnected and hidden in the pantry. You can choose another option: lay pipes underground to a shallow depth, up to one meter.
The year-round water supply at the cottage with their own hands is organized as follows: in principle, it does not differ from the above, only with a single nuance - pipes are laid at a depth greater than the freezing zone by thirty centimeters, after warming them. As a heater
foam polyethylene is used. The line itself must be inclined from the well to the structure.
Automation is installed in a warm room in order to prevent freezing of the system. Do not forget about the sewer system, which also needs to be insulated.
