How to independently carry out the distribution of water in the country for irrigation

The distribution of water in the country for irrigation can be greatly simplified if a central water supply is connected to the suburban area. The option of drilling an artesian well is suitable when there is no other way to bring water to the cottage. This method is more expensive, but in the future it will be possible to use the liquid without restrictions. In any case, it is necessary to take care of the normal water supply system of the summer cottage in the first place.

After bringing water to the site, they begin to lay pipes on the plan. This allows you to correctly distribute the need for irrigation in the country. If there is no experience with such systems, then you can contact the specialists. To save money, the recommendations below will help to carry out the wiring of the water supply system.

Having decided on which parts of the dacha should receive water, they begin to draw the wiring diagram. To do this, they must calculate the footage of pipes, select all the necessary fittings: adapters, couplings, taps, angles, tees, etc. If you prepare a plan taking into account the scale on which all points of water delivery will be indicated, this will allow you to quickly navigate the water supply system during its installation.

Plumbing will be required not only for the house, but also for all key places in the suburban area. Pipes should be brought to them, hoses should be connected and taps should be placed on them. Sprinklers are usually installed to water nearby beds. Carrying heavy hoses is not very convenient, so several hoses are usually connected to the wiring at the same time. The presence of a number of water intake points will allow you to quickly cope with watering plants in the country.

Water distribution scheme

When drawing up a wiring diagram, a drain valve is provided at the lowest point of the site. With it, you can drain the water before the onset of frost, since frost and cold lead to freezing of water in the pipes. This can destroy the system, as the density of the liquid that has turned into ice will increase. As a result, the pipes will be broken. Before draining the water, all distribution taps must be closed to protect the water supply from destruction in the winter.

If the pipes of the water supply system are made of polyethylene, then a special drain valve will not be required.

On the drawn up wiring diagram, the location of the taps on the main should be indicated.

It is necessary to provide a tap for emergency shutdown of water supply.

Arranging the distribution of irrigation in the country, you should determine the mode of its use, since the water supply system can be summer and winter. One method of wiring differs from another in the depth to which pipes must be laid. For all-weather cottages, insulated water pipes are usually provided. This system requires pipes to be laid lower than the freezing depth of the soil.

A winter type of wiring is necessary if there is a greenhouse on the site. In this situation, it will be necessary to prepare a good ditch and lay insulated pipes. The most rational would be to use the summer version of the water supply.

For the wiring device, you can use the plumbing scheme of polypropylene pipes. It is equipped with the possibility of draining water for the winter period. You should first calculate the required amount of water consumed, adding to the result, just in case, a small amount of stock. When calculating, one should take into account not only the volume of liquid for watering plants on the site, but also the water needs of family members of the owner of the cottage.

To bring the pump outlet pipe into the house at the dacha with your own hands, you will need polyethylene pipes laid in a trench, the depth of which is 50-60 cm. The pump is installed in a well or well, from where water for consumption should come. You can control the pump from home using a cable introduced into the house.

A second plastic pipe is laid in the trench for the pipe laid in advance, in which the cable must be laid. The pipe introduced into the room must be equipped with a check valve and a mechanical coarse filter for the liquid.

How to make a homemade well on the site

When arranging a mine well in a country house with your own hands, you should not only install a log house made of wood, but also take care of the following elements of the water supply system:

1. 1 Power grid.
2. 2 Spout with faucet.
3. 3 Stop valve.
4. 4 pipes.
5. 5 Hoses.
6. 6 Sand.
7. 7 Rubble.
8. 8 box.
9. 9 blind area.
10. 10 Clay castle.
11. 11 Lid.
12. 12 Ventilation riser, etc.

Do-it-yourself installation of a mine well in a country house is carried out if water is planned to be consumed in small volumes. Its design is quite simple. For normal operation of the device, it is necessary that groundwater lies at a depth of 3-4 to 10-15 m. This depends on the region in which the country house is located.

The components of the well are:

1. 1 Ground part (head).
2. 2 rings made of reinforced concrete.

Concrete is sometimes replaced with a log house made of wood, made using a beam, the diameter of which is 20-30 cm. The log house must be buried in the ground, and the well shaft - several meters into the groundwater. Sand, crushed stone and gravel should be alternately poured onto the bottom of the trench in layers, each of which should have a height of at least 20 cm. After that, a submersible pump is installed in the well.

If groundwater is located deep enough, more than 15-20 m, then drilling of wells will be required, which can be of the following types:

1. 1 Simple ("on the sand").
2. 2 Artesian wells (“on limestone”).

Wells of the first type can be drilled independently in 2-3 days using a drill. You will also need a steel pipe, a pump and a special filter mesh. This type of well will provide a small area with water for 5 years. The cost of an artesian well is too high, but its service life is more than 70 years. It allows you to supply water to the site in volumes from 4 to 110 m3 / h. To drill an artesian well, it is necessary to involve specialists and obtain permission to create such a well from the local authorities.

Autonomous water supply device

There are various ways to distribute water in the country, the main of which are connected with a series connection of pipes or using a collector. This device allows you to connect the pipe to each individual point. The manifold is a pipe with a larger diameter than the hoses. Connection to the collector of devices that consume water through hoses must be parallel. Due to this, pressure equalization occurs in the supply pipes. The flow of water into each of the hoses is carried out evenly, which does not depend on whether adjacent taps are open or not.

For watering the site, you can use different types of water pumps. These units are quite light and compact. They do not require special maintenance, as they are equipped with a pressure gauge, a hydraulic accumulator and a pressure switch. This allows you to support the automatic operation of devices operating on the principle of pumping stations.

Water supply in the country can be organized using a tank, which allows not only to have water in reserve in case it is turned off, but also to collect rainwater. To purify water, you need a high-quality filter system. At the first stage, a rough cleaning is performed, and at the second, a fine one. The latter is more thorough and requires several security filters to be applied.

Using a tank in the plumbing system on the site is also very effective for plants, since water will be heated in it in summer if it is installed outside. Watering plants with warm water allows you to achieve the best fruiting crops. The dacha can also be equipped with a drip irrigation system if special hoses are connected to the tees.
