What should not be done by yourself

Happy owners of cottages in horticultural partnerships, which in Soviet times were concerned with the layout of the collective water supply, this article may not be read. The pressing problem of autonomous water supply and the drilling of a personal well for water arises most often among residents of new suburban settlements.

Well at the cottage

To do, to hammer, to drill a hole itself is certainly tempting, but three important points should not be forgotten:

  • such work should be preceded by serious hydrological surveys of the area, specialists should perform them, without determining the depth and estimation of the rate of the underground aquifers.the dacha will not function or an incomprehensible liquid will flow from the tap;
  • to drill a well without special equipment and technological support is unrealistic;if you really want to do something yourself, dig a well, and leave the well to professionals;
  • arrangement of a complex hydraulic structure( installation of casing pipes, installation of a pumping system, filters, caisson or concrete well) is also better to entrust to specialists.

It turns out that at this stage, no one needs a building itch that is accumulated and unclaimed in urban conditions. Do not worry, most of the preparatory work, which precedes and in many respects solves the difficult task of making a water-bearing well at the dacha, will have to be carried out sometimes by himself, but for greater safety and security with his own hands.

Specifications of

borehole drilling We assume that the first step to create an autonomous water pipe in its suburban area has already been completed. The depth and flow rate of the underground aquifers is determined, the drilling site and the deviation of the well are indicated on the design diagram. Then comes a big Burmash, for its work you will need to ensure the following conditions( read carefully ).
Boring machine

  • Convenient entry to the site for the car, ten times superior to the weight and three dimensions of your personal car.
  • Spacious, cleared platform, the exact dimensions of which will be prompted in the construction firm, but in the usual practice 4х9 m. All beds, hammocks and gazebos from this zone are cleaned, even with tears.
  • High trees, power wires have to be hacked. The height of the standard drill mast usually does not exceed 10 m, but considering the need to increase the casing( up to 6 m), the cutting area can increase.

Here you have three wonderful reasons to do something useful in the arrangement of the well and to provide your loved ones with pure artesian water. We advise you not to be very zealous, since most of the destruction on the site will be perfectly done without your participation. Ideally, after all drilling operations, we have: a guaranteed output head provided by a pump of the appropriate power and a branch pipe, on which the entire water supply system can be fed. Nobody guarantees the cleanliness and ecological properties of the well, groundwaters - they are unpredictable.

How to make a well clever

No claims to the truth in the last resort, just thoughts on the topic. Many of the recommendations often found on the web seem to us sometimes ridiculous, often absurd, but worthy of discussion.

  • Where to make a well .There are many options, a seditious one - in the house. Any engineering system, powered by a not very reliable external source, requires constant maintenance and sometimes expensive repairs. Breaking house floors because of breakages in filters and pumping equipment - stupidity is unimaginable.
  • How far to arrange .The answer is obvious: where you found water. Recommendations for remoteness from the house at 3 m or from compost piles at 100 m are equally ridiculous. Not all our citizens have plots of 1.5 hectares, and the long-distance pipeline outlet is easily compensated by cheap external wiring from HDPE pipes. How deep to drill .The question is both complex and funny. We zaburivaemsya, while from the kitchen tap in the country there will not flow acceptable for consumption water. To assess its sanitary and hygienic quality according to SanPin 2.1.4.1074-01 staff of sanitary and epidemiological supervision will help, and find the appropriate aquifer - drillers.

In any case, an autonomous water supply is fine, and those 50 or 100 thousand rubles, which will have to be spent to make your well on water and to properly equip it, on the scale of generations is an absolute trifle.
