We are all accustomed to uninterrupted water supply, to regular amenities inherent to apartments in large cities. But when it comes to the country, and sometimes about private houses, problems appear with uninterrupted water supply. Here there is a question of the feasibility of creating a well on water. And today we will talk today.
Types of wells
First of all, before being taken for drilling wells in the country, it is necessary to understand what are the main types of such devices for the supply of clean drinking water. After all, the task is quite serious and it will not be fulfilled without proper training.
The most popular types of wells should be noted three:
- sandy;
- artesian;
- abyssinian well-type well.
Next, we offer more details to consider each type, since visually they are quite very similar and easy to distinguish such cotton wells in the photo is simply impossible.
Sandwedge
Even on the basis of the well name, it becomes clear that the production of water with its help is carried out from the layer, which is called sandy-aquifer. The depth of the water production layer in this case is up to fifty meters. Choosing a sandy well, you should know about some moments:
- it is quite economical;
- the amount of water will be enough for a small country area;
- the well is rather durable, but the level of water quality requires periodic verification.
The sandy well should be located in removal from various sources of pollution, which today can be located and far from the city. If all the conditions are strictly observed, such a device will serve you from 10 to 15 years.
The well of Artesian
If you live in the territory where limestone layer is present, you can use it for water extraction. But this requires a check that can be two types:
- You can learn about the presence of the reservoir for the neighbors.
- You can order trial drilling with specialists.
It is not difficult to guess that the question to the neighbors will be completely free and will not take you a lot of time. If they respond ambiguously or and not at all give an answer, you will have to order services from professionals.
Unfortunately, such a well will be difficult to drill his own, but still we will tell about it.
The depth on which the limestone layer is laid, often hesitates between the indicators from 30 to 200 meters, which clearly proves why such a well is not drilled himself.
Immediately let's say that such drilling will not be particularly cheap, but it has its own obvious advantages that explain the relevance of this type of well. She is very durable, because it is still enough for your children, and on your grandchildren, perhaps.
The artesian well provides for the presence of a tank of the cisson from the metal, as well as the pump and the hydroaccumulator installed in it.
By the way, here's a small trick: cooperate with your neighbors in the country area, and so you can drill one such a well into several families. It will not be so expensive, and everyone will probably have enough water.
Abyssinian well
Such a well can be called the simplest. After all, it is easiest to drill their own. Often, such a device is called as follows:
- a scoring well;
- well needle.
If on your summer cottage plot, the aquifer harvested at a depth of only 3-12 meters, you can safely use this option. But just do not forget about checking the area for the presence of landfills, cesspool and sumps in the district, because it will not be possible to produce crystal clear drinking water.
The well can be drilled in the courtyard, as well as in the basement of your country house. The second option, by the way, is incredibly convenient, because it will allow you to use water from a well in winter.
For drilling this well, you need the following:
- grandmother with a batch;
- clamp;
- scoring filter;
- babe;
- pipes.
If you want the presence of clean water to be tied to uninterrupted supply of electricity, it is possible to make not only the pump at the outlet, but also the manual column.
We choose the way of drilling
Before drilling, you need to determine exactly which methods you will use. After all, you will also need to make a special fixture - installation for drilling. Fortunately, it can be done by himself. You need to choose the drilling method from the following:
- rotor;
- screw;
- shock-cable.
For the manufacture of drilling tools, you will need the following items:
- drill;
- bulgarian;
- apparatus for welding;
- other tools that any, respecting themselves, dacket.
You can be sure that the drill tool is useful to you in the future, so that its manufacture is a completely rational step.
Rotary installation
If you decide to make a well in the country with the help of a rotary installation, you need to know that this is one of the most difficult options for such operations. But, on a par with its complexity, this option can be bolded to be called the most reliable. Considering that the equipment is pretty serious, you can only make a special frame for him for him. The remaining elements are purchased from reliable suppliers so that there are no problems in the drilling process.
You will need to purchase:
- Paddle bob
- Motor Pompa.
- Motor gear.
- Drilling rod.
- Swivel.
Do not spare forces on such a drill vehicle, because it will be very multifunctional, allow you to carry out not only the shock and rotational drilling, but also drilling with flushing. And this is an excellent opportunity to supply a special solution directly to the well. The solution will reveal the soil deep under the ground, which makes it with greater ease of removing it to the surface. You do not need to be a big specialist in order to understand that thus the speed of all work increases several times.
Screw installation
Deciding to drill a well at the dacha to the screw installation, you will need to make a special car from the pipe (made of steel). Make sure that the diameter of the pipe used is not less than 100 millimeters. The screw of the screw turns from the diameters of 20 centimeters to the steel pipe, to its end from the bottom, and at the edges of the auger install the steel knives of the inclined type.
Complete operations need to install a comfortable handle at the top of the device, which should be removable. You can make a handle from the same steel pipe.
If during the drilling process you will not have enough length of the main pipe structure, it can always be increasing using a special coupling or threaded connection.
Securing the resulting device on the tower, you can proceed to drilling. When drilling will be completed, it is recommended to remove the steel pipe from the shurt with a winch with the electromotor provided to not harm the device and get it without any problems.
Shock-rope drilling
With this type of drilling, the engineer is also served as a working tool, as well as heavy cartridges that are fixed on the cable. The cable in the vertical position is fixed on the bed. In the process of drilling, the cartridge strikes the ground, breaking it, and with the help of the ulute, it is removed on the surface of the earth. For the drum drilling device you will need a cartridge, the mass of which will not be less than 80 kilograms.
It is quite obvious that it is difficult to manually control such weight, so you will need a rotary motor for descent and lifting the cargo fixed on the rope.
In order to penetrate the patron's permeability, its lower part should be sharpened to sharpen. In addition, many craftsmen are fixed on cartridges especially sharp elements of the triangular form, as it allows you to increase the efficiency coefficient.
It is necessary to start drilling with the creation of a hole on the land plot, which is performed using a simple gardener boraner. When the hole is ready, you can use the cartridge and the illegum.
Sand well in the country with your own hands
Taking directly for the performance of work, you need to start with the preparation of plans and schemes. First of all, think about where the well is located in your yard. Consider all the buildings on the site to understand how convenient location you have chosen. Do not forget that you planned to build on your cottage in the future. Remember that the well is built once, and transfer it to another place will not be easy.
Features of the selection of the pump for the well
To choose the most optimal version of the pump for your well in the country, you will need to pay attention to some options. It:
- The depth indicators of your existing or future well.
- Debit well.
- Distance from home to well.
- Indicators of the diameter of the casing.
All listed characteristics in the aggregate give an answer to the question of optimal power for the chosen pump. The self-priming pump is suitable for you if the depth of the well in the country area does not exceed the indicator of nine meters. If we talk about other cases, then you will need a submersible pump for wells.
Procedure for performing work
Having granting all the issues of the location by creating work plans, it is necessary to start following their implementation:
- Carefully mark the markup to fulfill future work. Make sure that the accuracy is maximum.
- Prepare the Shurf to enter the drilling tool.
- Install equipment for drilling to the desired position.
- Start drilling.
- Collect the filter column from the pipe, sump, as well as the filter, and lower it in the shurn.
- Consider and find the space between the soil and the walls of the casing outside. It must be filled with rubble or sand, on your choice. If you choose a crushed stone, be extremely careful not to damage the casing outside.
- Rinse the filter by downloading water into the pipe with a pump. So you can sewer its upper part.
- Using a screw pump, as well as the ulute, pump out the water from the well.
- Make sure that the water from the well has become clean.
- Gently and slowly lower the submersible pump in the well. This procedure is performed using the insurractic type cable.
- Connect the plumbing pipe or hose to the pump.
- In order for the water supply can be adjustable, install a special valve to the pipe.
- A casing that protrudes over the surface should not pass water in unwanted places. For this purpose, do waterproofing.
- Borehole tices to equip with caisson, after which it will thoroughly secure it on the ledge using the welding machine.
- If you envisaged pipes to the house, at this stage it's time to put them in the trenches.
- Complete the caisson soil, as well as perform a concrete break.
So, less than 20 steps, a well can be made in the country. Of course, everything is not so simple, but performing work extremely accurately, you will succeed.
Drilling of the shallow well with their own hands
You can also drill well with a manual method, but for this, of course, special equipment is useful. We list it below:
- boer;
- drill tower;
- winch;
- casing;
- rods.
The drill tower, by the way, is not necessary, but only if the well is not deep. For shallow holes, you can get a hand-drilling column.
As for the drill rods, they are made from ordinary pipes, and are connected by thread or key. The lower rod should not forget, because it should be equipped with a special brown.
For the manufacture of cutting nozzles you will need a sheet steel width of 3 millimeters. And one more very important point concerns sharpening the edges of the nozzles. They need to be accurate in such a way that as a result they came into the soil under the ground in the direction of the clockwise direction.
Now you should set a tower on the site where drilling will be carried out. Make sure that the tower height exceeds the size of the rod for drilling so that the rise and removing the rod occur completely unhindered.
To create a well, you will probably need an assistant. You can start the rotation, and yourself, but after a while when the boring will go underground, the efforts of one person will not be enough to continue drilling work.
If you and together with the assistant you will be stumbled upon problems or simply stuck, try pouring into the soil of water, as it softens it somewhat.
In the process of drilling, approximately every half meter, remove the drip outside to get an excess of soil from the well.
When the bur reaches the level of land, an extra bed is attached to him. Continue drilling to the very moment when you notice on the ground, which finally got to the aquifer. After that, you need to clean the well from the ground and immerse the burrow even deeper, trying to reach a layer, which is called waterproof. Having achieved this layer, an abundant flow of water will begin in the well.
Pull the dirty water with the pump and will soon find clean water. If you suddenly notice that the water does not become cleaner, you need to deepen the bee for another few meters.
Care and Body Operation
The fact that you yourself equipped the well does not mean that it will serve you for a long time, because it needs to be operated correctly, and it also requires careful care.
In the event that you have paid your attention to the fact that the water has ceased to be filed with the usual pressure for it, or it began to come out with small jerks, mixed with air, it can only mean the need for well cleaning. It is impossible to postpone this question for later, because the problem will not disappear itself and will grow as a snowball.
For cleaning the well you will need a water or air compressor. So you can quickly and reliably get rid of sand and sludge.
If your well is more running, we recommend that you use a short circuit, and maybe even acid. But these techniques are better to trust exclusively by professionals that earn such work on life.
Often emerging problems and errors
Often, people who decide to engage in the drilling of the well with their own hands allow mistakes and meet the problems whose solutions they do not know. Therefore, we want to pay attention to this issue.
It often turns out such that people choose the wrong drilling type for certain breeds. Here is how to make a choice:
- for sandy surfaces, it is recommended to use a born. But one drill here will not be enough here, so we wash with water or drilling fluid;
- in the case of flooders, the use of the ventilation is recommended;
- if clay is present on your site, you can't do without a serpent. But if you do not have any, you can always stop on the urelka or a storm-spoon;
- solid sand, which is peculiar to many territories, is well taken by bit;
- in turn, the solid rocks are not drilled in one bit, therefore, they are blitzing them only at the first stage. And already on the second - the ground is carried out;
- loloto and ulutes together are used for plates from pebbles or gravel.
Many newcomers stop drilling at the stage when the bee reaches the aquifer, as a wet soil at the exit of the funnel is found. It is radically wrong, because it just means that the water is already very close. Drilling work should be continued until you notice the difficulty of drilling due to the achievement of the waterproof layer.
Also is not a rare such a situation in which your well, which you seemingly drilled not so long ago, stopped functioning. Most likely in this case, the work was carried out incorrectly. During drilling, newcomers often allow some popular errors from this list, try to avoid them:
- You could omit the pump extremely low, which inevitably led to the brazing of the well sand. If it was not possible to avoid such a problem, just get the pump, then remove all the sand. Install the pump correctly and you will be happy.
- The situation in which the casing sits in the Shurf is not completely, it is also capable of supplying poor-quality water. If you take out the soil with the help of a illegone, then deposit the pipe, the problem will be exhausted.
- Excessive zeal can also lead to unfavorable results. There are often cases when newcomers in the field of well drilling are simply passing through a layer with water. Lift the work on the desired level of aquifer and water will appear.
- Nedochur, as we have said, is also a popular problem, and the solution here is quite obvious.
We hope that such mistakes you remember and consider them when creating your own well in the country, which is not yet one year will provide you with clean and high-quality water.
Well at the cottage - video
Even in the case of simple crafts and work in the country, we often need video instructions and explanations that can argue all points over "and" what to say about creating wells in the country. Therefore, we suggest you finally get acquainted with the video roller on how to properly organize a well on the territory of your country area.
