Well construction for water: equipment, installation

The best way to provide a country house with water is to drill a well. However, to make a long, narrow shaft in the earth is, of course, only half the battle. Of course, the well needs to be equipped with special equipment.

What should I purchase?

Well completion for water is performed using equipment such as:

• caisson:

• Deep pump;

• Accumulator;

• Check valve;

• HDPE pipes;

• Heater;

• Steel wire rope;

• Automatic relays with pressure gauge.

The non-return valve must be purchased only if the selected pump is not equipped with it. Sometimes the owners of suburban areas get already equipped with all the necessary station. Such equipment is very convenient to use and is relatively inexpensive. However, unfortunately, the pumping station can only be put on a well not more than 20 m deep.

Mine pumping

The construction of wells for water should begin with this operation. The fact is that in a mine just drilled, water is never too clean. It will necessarily dissolve a certain amount of sand. Modern deep pumps are mostly designed to take exceptionally clean water. If you immediately drop expensive equipment of this type into the well, it can simply break down. Therefore, it is necessary to pump the mine before proceeding with its arrangement. To do this, it is worth to buy an inexpensive small submersible well pump for 1500-2000 rubles. Use of such equipment in deep mines is not always possible. Just for pumping it does not fit very well.

Arrangement of the caisson

After the well is pumped, you can proceed with its proper equipment. And you should start with arranging the caisson. This equipment for the well can be purchased ready-made or made independently. In the latter case, the well will be cheaper.

It is a self-made caisson pit of about 2 m in depth with concrete walls and a bottom. Equipped with a caisson directly around the well shaft. After the end of the excavation work, the casing should be cut in such a way that in the following it was convenient to install the pumping equipment. Next proceed to concreting the walls of the caisson. To do this, you need to install the formwork and place the reinforcement in it. The walls are filled in such a way that the sides are formed above the caisson. In the future this will prevent ingress of rain and melt water into the interior. At the next stage, you can start pouring the screed on the bottom of the caisson. It also needs to be reinforced. While the concrete freezes, you can dig a trench from house to caisson.

Stamps of pumps

All deep-seated equipment for this type of well in the current market is quite reliable and productive. When choosing a pump in the first place, you should pay attention to the fact, for a mine of what depth it is intended. Also worth seeing is the brand of the manufacturer.

The most popular among domestic owners of country houses use inexpensive pumps for the water well "Vodomet" of Russian production, equipment of the average price category "Pedrollo" (Italy) and expensive German "Grundfos". But of course, you can buy the unit and some other famous brand. Even very cheap Chinese models, sold today by specialized stores, are considered quite high-quality.

What parameters to pay attention to when buying?

Select pumps for the well for water, taking into account, among other things, their characteristics, such as:

• Performance. It is believed that the average family is well suited equipment at 40-60 l / min.

• Pump head. This indicator is very easy to calculate. For this, thirty should be added to the depth of the well. To the figure you need to add another 10%.

• Diameter of housing. Of course, this figure should be less than the hole in the casing.

Construction of wells for water: how to install the pump

This equipment is mounted as follows:

• The HDPE pipe purchased should be spread out on the ground for leveling.

• Then it must be sealed to the pump.

• Then the power cable is connected and straightened along the pipe.

• A cable is securely attached behind the pump eyes. It also needs to be straightened along the pipe.

• The cable, cable and pipe are fastened to a single route by means of clamps.

The final stage

After the preparatory work has been completed, a casing should be put on the casing. Then you can proceed with the actual installation of the pump. Lower it into the shaft should be as carefully as possible, trying not to touch the walls. After the unit has been installed, the hydraulic accumulator and all other necessary equipment are being assembled. To the tank, first the connection is attached, then the manometer, the relay-regulator and, finally, the pipe coming from the pump. After connecting to the accumulator of the main road running from the house and a trial run, the work on the development of the well can be considered complete.

Features of the equipment of artesian wells

Above, the technique of arranging not too deep wells "on sand" was considered. But sometimes the owners of suburban areas drill deeper mines, called artesian. The installation of wells of this type, since they have a considerable depth, is expensive. Sometimes water from such mines even goes under pressure. In this case, the installation of the pump is usually not required.

However, the geological features of the bowels of our country are such that the arrangement of such wells is probably not all in all places. Therefore artesian in Russia is more often called an ordinary mine that has reached the calcareous layer. That is just very deep. Arrangement of an artesian well for this type of water is also carried out using a pump. Acquire in this case is a powerful equipment, designed specifically for this variety of mines.

Well for water: the price of the arrangement

Provide a service for equipping the mines of private houses is usually the same companies that are engaged and their drilling. But if you want, of course, you can hire specialists from another firm. In this case, the determining factor is the cost of performing the work.

The price of equipping mines for different companies may vary slightly. It all depends on what depth it has and how the well will be equipped with water. The price for the construction of mines to 20-40 m on average can be 15-30 thousand rubles. More expensive is usually only the equipment of common wells. For example, intended for the whole cottage community.

Arrangement of wells for water, thus, the procedure is relatively simple. However, time and effort for the equipment of the mine to spend, of course, still have to. Therefore, it is worth to do this work independently only if you want to save. People, in terms of money, are not constrained, of course, it is best to hire specialists to carry out this operation.
