Almost every well needs regular preventive measures. Despite the rather simple process of obtaining pure water, there are a number of factors that negatively affect its quality. Definitely, in case of detection of even small problems associated with cleanliness, you need to immediately clean the well. Sometimes it can be sufficiently simpler actions, but most often problems are much more serious, and you need to act strongly and efficiently.
Immediately it is worth saying that the well is far from the best option to obtain drinking water. If possible, it is necessary to look at other sources. For example, it can be a full-fledged well, and even better - the usual water supply. Sometimes it is even better to acquire imported water. If the situation is hopeless, then the well is the only substantiated option. However, it is necessary to prepare in advance that numerous problems may arise with this object, not only those related to water quality.
Features of operating well
It is necessary to understand that much depends on the well itself. This water source may have different dimensions, shape, as well as depth. Moreover, some aspects depend on concrete terrain. In some cases, without problems, you can access the crystal clear source, and in some situations there are water unsuitable for drinking. All these questions are found at the stage of analyzing the area. Such events need to be involved in specialists who will provide their authoritative assessment.
In most cases, in most cases the cause of water pollution is not any microorganisms or a change in the composition of the soil, but a debris well falling into the mine. Indeed, it happens very often, especially if there is a large number of people with access to the well. It must be done so that the mine of the object is available only during water. During the rest of the time, the lid should be qualitatively fixed on the well. It is desirable that the lock was installed on it to eliminate random discovery.
Even if the garbage that falls inside the well will not immediately affect the quality of water, after some time at the bottom it will be possible to find a large number of impurities, from which it will be very difficult to get rid of.
The main stages of cleaning the well
In order to have access to clean water, you need to pay attention to the most common stages of the well cleaning. It is worth saying to immediately say that it does not make sense to carry out such events, but it is still regularly to organize prophylaxis. This allows you to be sure that the water will be consistently clean for a long time.
The first stage is the pumping of water from the well. Next, if necessary, the bottom is cleaned. Also, it may be necessary to install the filter, after which you can organize cleaning of the mine. Next, consider all the cleaning steps in more detail.
Water pumping features from well
In most cases, if the well cleaning is required, it is necessary to pump water. Immediately it is worth saying that the process itself is far from the easiest. Most often, the hosts use the services of special services. We are talking about machines that have a large tank and a powerful pump at their disposal. The pumping process often lasts a short period of time. You can also spend the whole process on your own. This will require a drainage pump. It should be noted in advance that this procedure is quite complicated, so it must be advised to consult from specialists. Often the process includes several stages.
- At the very beginning it is necessary to connect the main hose to the pump pressure pipe. Accordingly, all this is securely fixed, as we will deal with a colossal pressure.
- In some cases, if the pump has a float switch, you need to install the check valve.
- It is necessary to organize the test switching on the pump to check, in which direction the shaft is moving. This will allow during the main process not to encounter numerous problems. Accordingly, in this case the shaft must rotate clockwise. If, on the contrary, it is necessary to change the phases.
- Next, the pump should be positioned vertically, and the pressure pipe must be directed upwards.
After that, the main stage of cleaning the rebels from the water well occurs. It should be noted that this process has some subtleties that may be entrusted to professionals. For example, it is worthwhile that some varieties of drainage pumps can only be used to pump clean water. If the water of dubious quality is in your well, then using the pump can be brought into disrepair. Thus, it is worth carefully choosing the equipment, studying the documentation.
It also makes sense to note that for a significant simplification of the process you need to use the so-called "float". This device, which is located on the surface of the water, and, if the bottom is achieved, immediately disables all the equipment. Thus, it is not necessary to constantly monitor the promotion of the process, and the pump itself will not be pretty extinguished.
At the same time, you need to know that without the float pump can be elementary to overheat if the water level is minimal.
- To begin with, the pump is immersed to the depth, which is 1 m to the bottom of the well.
- Next, the contaminated water rolls out of the well, and the filter, which is outside the source, purifies the entire volume of the fluid.
- You can immediately produce pure water into the well if there is such a need. If you need to clean the well of the well, or the removal of or strengthened formations, you should make a complete point of water.
- If water is gradually contaminated, the drainage pump can be used together with the filter on an ongoing basis. The installation will gradually clean, and the drinking fluid will immediately come back into the well.
Gradually, water in the well is slightly polluted, regardless of many factors. Thus, it is necessary to carry out prevention. In this case, the drainage pump will be useful again, which need to clean the water in the well 1-2 times a year. Do not forget to periodically clean the filter. In general, water purification occurs within 5-7 days. Only then can be confident in the qualitative result of the work done.
Disinfection of the well
It does not rarely happen that some animal falls inside the well. Accordingly, in such a situation it will not be saved, and indeed, immediately notice any changes will not be released. But in a week, two it will be possible to teach a terribly unpleasant smell. Moreover, the water itself will have an unpleasant taste, as well as a specific color. Here everything is clear - this is the process of decomposition.
It is worth saying in advance that when something like this is found in any case, it is impossible to consume water from the well. Also does not prevent medical examination, as it can be about dangerous viruses and infections.
As for the well itself, it needs to be disinfected as soon as possible. If possible, remove the remains of the animal. Next, we need a stabilizing chlorine solution. It is sold in large canices.
In this case, you need to roll out water from the well, then a certain amount of chlorine solution is poured into the mine. After that, close the lid does not follow the lid, it is enough to cover the mine with a high density cloth. In this form, the object must be left for a day. Next, the solution is pumped up, and the well itself is amenable to careful cleaning. It is advisable to make that even the slightest traces of the cleaning procedure remain in the mine. To do this, it will also be necessary to clean the concrete rings and seams between them.
To be sure that the water in the well is clean, after disinfection it is worth replacing it several times. Next, if there are some doubts, you need to contact the relevant services that conduct a thorough analysis of water.
Features Waterproofing of the Wells of the Well
A few years after the start of operation of the well, numerous problems may appear. It is not only about water pollution. In this case, the cause of all problems may be depressurization of the seams.
As you know, the mine of an ordinary well consists of peculiar reinforced concrete rings. Over time, the sealant, which is present between the seams, is gradually collapsing. In this case, it is possible to regularly monitor the condition of the ring of the rings, or to carry out a full repair when the time is already lost.
When depressurization occurs, not only particles of soil, concrete can fall inside the well, but also various microorganisms, as well as bacteria. If the wellholders are faced with water pollution, it is important to pay attention to the root cause. For example, at first glance it may seem that the whole thing in or formations at the bottom of the well, but the real reason will be depressurization.
Again, to carefully analyze and make some conclusions, you need to pump water out of the mine and carry out a full inspection. For immersion in the well, you can use a cable or climbing rope.
The depressurization is noticed very simple. In places of joints of the rings, various emptiness and peculiar damage will be visible. Through even the smallest lumens inside the well, various bacteria can penetrate, as well as soil and vegetation.
Immediately after detection of depressurization, restoration work should be started. It is best to use hydrolast for this. This product is a rather durable sealant, which is most often used in the food industry. You can also make a handicraft model personally, for this you need to mix PVA and cement glue.
If depressurization is noticeable only in one area, it is not necessary to hope that in the other places such a situation will not happen in the near future. It is better to destroy the outdated sealant in advance and fill the emptiness by hydrolast.
After this process, you need to wait until the sealant gets strength. Next, you need to fill the well water. However, it is worth understanding that after numerous works, water inside the well will be far from the very clean. Therefore, you need to arm a pump and carry out a full water purification. It should be done several times to accurately be confident in its high quality.
Cleaning wooden wells
Of course, you should not forget about those wells that were created on the basis of wood. Definitely, today it is not the best option, and if possible, a wooden mine such wells should be replaced with concrete.
However, old wells continue to use in many villages, and they need to be cleaned periodically.
Of course, the main problem of such wells is wood itself. She gradually loses its properties while in water. Thus, after some time, the logs begin to rot, either just covered with some kind of growths.
When doubts appear as water, it is necessary to join it immediately. Next happens the look of the mine well. If there are originals on individual logs, it is necessary to get rid of them by any prickly tools. After that, wood is treated with antiseptic substances, usually used in the construction industry.
You should also make sure that the log does not rot. In this case, it will have to replace it. It is worth saying that this is a rather laborious process. It is likely that it will also be necessary to break the well from its outside. The slots between the logs are sealed with sealants.
In this case, you need to analyze the state of each log. If the situation is actually serious, then the output is one - it is necessary to replace the wood component of the home of the well on concrete, as there may be even more serious problems in the future.
