Water supply for country houses with their own hands

Given the cost of modern urban apartments, it is not surprising that more people appear who are permanently residing in their summer cottages. Of course, do with the amenities in the yard, dragging hundreds of liters of water from the well, in this case no one agrees.

Some summer cottages have a permanent water supply system, but still the water supply of country houses is a rare phenomenon. What to do in the event that there are no "excesses" of civilization on your site and are not foreseen? Naturally, build your own water supply system! That is why today we will just talk about the method of such construction.

As you know, talking about the banal connection to the central water pipeline is stupid, since the nearest water supply network can be tens of kilometers away from you. In addition, even if there is water in the dacha, in most cases it is turned off for the winter in order to avoid the breakthroughs of the frozen pipes, which there is nobody to monitor. So we'll talk today about those cases when you still have a well or a well. Even if they are not there, you will have to turn to those who can supply the water supply of a country house with their own hands, as the availability of amenities in housing will quickly pay for all the costs that have arisen.

First of all, decide the issue regarding the distribution of water pipes. The fact is that if you do not live in a country house in the winter, it is quite realistic to reduce costs and make only external wiring: in case of using a qualitative insulation for pipes, they will easily survive the autumn use. Of course, in the latter case, the costs will be much less, since you do not have to dig anything.

However, once again, it is worthless to use this option for year-round living in rural areas. Otherwise, you not only can not avoid a large amount of excavation, which must inevitably take into account the scheme of water supply to a country house, but you also need to accurately determine the depth of freezing in your region.

It's time to start the work itself. You will need to purchase not only the required number of pipes, but also fittings, cranes, couplings, splitters ... and the automatic pump itself, in the end! The choice of the pump depends only on the depth from which you plan to lift the water. Pipes also should not cause special difficulties when choosing and buying. Even in spite of the fact that metal varieties still exist, only plastic and metal-plastic models should be chosen, as the water supply of country houses in this case is done for dozens of years.

The diameter of the pipes is also chosen depending on the pump. By the way, where should I install the device for water supply? Ideally, the pump will be located in the house, but this will only happen if the well or well is also located near the housing.

Otherwise, you will need to build a warmed building on the street, which will provide water for out-of-town houses. If your winters are especially severe, even buried pipes must not only be protected with a heater, but also "insured" using a heat cable.

In the borehole or well, a water filter is mandatory. Thanks to it, the water will always be clean, and the pump and other plumbing equipment will surely serve you more than one year. In a word, the water supply of country houses, made by own hands, is quite real!
