Well and septic tank for the garden and home

Sometimes in order to get access to water, do not need to drill the well, and it is enough to dig a well desired depth, since the second case is much easier and does not require special equipment and a large number of time. Digging wells lasts until such time until you reach the first aquifer is capable of providing an uninterrupted supply of water to residential houses, cottages, cottage or country house. At the same time, consumers will not have problems with water supply.

Trust digging a well only need professionals, as they know exactly what to do in each case. Self-digging may cause some errors, which will not allow to obtain the expected result. We offer professional assistance and help you choose the right place to dig a well, to achieve the best results. Our employees in a short time to dig a well desired depth and create all the conditions that water was continuous.

To create a well-key, you need to stock up on the following materials: special reinforced concrete manhole rings used for installation in a mine, as required river stone needed to create a natural and the best filter in place water intake. Moreover, the required waterglass (used for sealing joints mentioned above which are between the rings) and cement.

To get rid of the probability of falling into the garbage pit installed so-called Pit houses which in turn are equipped with a mechanism to raise the water in those cases when there is no electricity.

The process of construction of concrete wells includes the following steps:

• In the first place determined by the place where it will be well;
• Installation of all elements of the well;
• mine excavation;
• Setting rings made of reinforced concrete;
• Sealing;
• Install a custom filter in case of need.

The final stage of the creation of the well is to install the well house, which was mentioned above. It is also the least satisfied summing up the water in the living room.

Note that the installation of reinforced concrete rings is done by lowering them: first, the first ring is lowered, it is placed on the second and so on until the ring does not reach the surface of the earth. It is easy to highlight the advantages of this construction method: the workers will always be safe, because the rings will prevent the collapse of the walls to form a hole in the ground. Also, there is no need to use special lifting equipment, which greatly reduces the cost of the process of creating a well. Saving, you will be able to create a quality well, the ability to constantly satisfy the demand for water.

Common mistakes made by customers during the construction of the wells:

Well must contain drinking water.

The concept of drinking water - is a set of well-defined characteristics set by GOST 2874-82 and SanPiN 4630-88. Many mistaken, believing that if you drink the water, then it can certainly be considered potable. However, this is not the case. Undefined characteristics of water necessary to investigate using special equipment, and only after receiving the results of the source speakers purity, can drink water. For many is surprising that pure clear water, which has no taste or smell, it may be prohibited for use. Such cases occur quite often, because the water may contain various impurities, which do not have taste, but harmful to the human body and identify them allow only special research.

The quality of water in the well located, directly depends on at what is happening aquifer recharge wells. Just say that at the time of execution of works related to digging wells and installation of various elements, the builders can not affect the water quality. Therefore, good specialists perfectly knowing the specifics of the work, never give guarantees relating to water quality, because they know that they themselves can not possibly adjust this setting. Our experience shows that the water filling the new well, can fully meet the requirements of GOST and SanPiN mentioned above, and may not coincide with the specified characteristics.

Most modern environmental claims that the water coming into the house from any system water, necessarily must pass through the stages of purification and conditioning.

Well must have a certain depth

Usually, wells are built on the upper aquifer (or more horizons). Therefore, the depth of the well depends on the depth of this horizon. If we consider the Novgorod region, then there is the well depth varies between 1.5-20 meters - quite a large spread.

Hydrological natural conditions found in the construction site of the well, a direct impact on its depth. Experts carrying out work on the construction of the well, can not guarantee a specific depth, and can only give their predictions on this parameter. Depending on which value will be the flow of water aquifer must be routed 1-2 rings. In places where the common quicksands, almost never manage to create a column of water in the well in excess of 60-80 cm. In this case, let's say at once that if you install a good filtration system, such height of the water column is sufficient to ensure an uninterrupted supply of water in the house.

It is necessary that the well was capable of producing a specific amount of water per unit time.

The capabilities of each of the well, called the debit shall be determined only by the ability of the aquifer to deliver a certain amount of water. Sometimes this factor affects the size of the water intake of the well, but it does not happen often. Therefore, if your sump water carrier stably operating, the water will be sufficient, and if the water carrier is weak, it is likely, water will be insufficient to meet the need. Again, in practice, no one person can not guarantee a particular resource well.

The customer wants to know the exact depth being created

To date, there are many methods that are used to detect water on the surface of the earth. However, none of these methods can not give accurate results, allowing to determine the depth of the well of the future. Even more so that more accurate methods are quite expensive. In some cases, the value of accurate determination of the depth of the water can be comparable to the cost of building a new well, so these costs are not always justified. It is because of the high cost is not necessary to conduct research in an attempt to determine the exact depth of the well of the future - we know it after construction.

But before you start the construction of the well, it is necessary to conduct special studies (method dowsing) to determine the hydrological evidence and verify the existence of sources. Particularly important are studies in those places where there is no nearby wells. Even if there are well, they can not give a complete picture of the presence of sources and research area will still need to spend.

It is necessary that the well has been created for the specified number of days the customer.

Typically, the well construction speed is 0.5-4 rings per day. And this with the fact that the magnitude of the internal diameter of the ring is 1 meter and its height - 0.9 meters. speed of construction depends on soil types, which are found in its path builders. If piecework wages, the workers will not hold long breaks in work and try to make the entire scope of work as soon as possible. Also do not forget that the construction of the well - the hard and dangerous work that requires attention, so customizing specialists in any case impossible. In some cases, the transmission rate can be as deep into 50 cm per day. That is why pre-determine the construction period is very difficult, and the haste in this matter is a negative factor.

The presence of water in the well is necessary. Could it be that the water has drained out of the well? What happens if the well is emptied?

If hydrogeology in a particular area (where the well location) changes, the water can escape from the well. As well havoc possible when depleted water-carrier - the so-called water lens, from which the water comes. Also on the water level may affect the water intake and the amount of drainage and irrigation work up close. However, there are seasonal variations in the water and that is quite common and this problem can not be overcome, because you can not argue with nature. If you are faced with the problem of the disappearance of water, it is necessary to increase the depth of the well by adding a ring of the same diameter (or smaller). In this case, most likely, it will be able to permanently solve the problem of the disappearance of the water.

the well wall (places ring joints) must be sealed.

In the manufacturing time rings used in wells, using precast concrete, and cement mortars. These materials may not provide 100% of the well seal. If there is a strong pressure of water on the wall, it may fall into the well bore at a qualitative and careful embedding of rings joints. Some mistakenly believe that save the situation gidroplomb application, but it is in most cases ineffective action. special waterproofing solutions can be found on the market, but they are quite expensive and can not guarantee a positive outcome.

The best way to get rid of falling into the pit of the upper water is its correct position - always choose the highest place of your site. It is also worth installing blind area and create a clay castle and outlet flutes. In some cases, help to overcome the problem of drainage works. We stress that the above measures can get rid of such problems, the offset of the upper rings of the well, which is very dangerous. Displacement normally occurs due to soil freezing in winter.

In general, I want to say the following: the well - this building, collecting water, and will not interfere with the reaction.

Installing the bottom of the filter in a well needed

This statement is most common among customers. Our experience has shown that this phrase spoken by the majority of customers with whom to work. This opinion was inspired by the special literature, which uses outdated notions of the water system. However, readers are pretty believed these words and repeat them constantly, trying to appear competent in this matter. Just say that this statement was relevant for many years ago and now it has lost its power. This solution was used only in the public wells, for example, in the village, where several families share a single water source. While it was difficult to find people who would have possessed had its own well.

Our experience has shown that to date, only about 5% of the ordered installation of wells required inverse filter or a so-called gravel sketches. Therefore it is possible to abandon this decision.

Buying rings for wells and other materials can be carried out anywhere, because all look the same ring?

Our experience shows that a large number of rings, have poor quality and can not be used in the construction of wells, since it does not allow to obtain a good result. Best of all, before you are going to buy the ring, refer to specialists, which will prompt whether to stop at a particular embodiment.

It is best to purchase from companies that offer services for the construction of wells, as this option would be the most reliable and avoid deception. Experienced builders are well aware of when work is carried out with high-quality products and it allows you to get high quality results.

After completion of the well need to create a clay castle, avoiding falling into the well surface (contaminated) water.

During freezing puchitsya clay, and it occurs after the wetland. Ultimately, this may lead to the fact that the upper ring of the well will be cut off (annually). The joints between the rings will be damaged, resulting in disruption of structural integrity and water pollution.

To efficiently solve the problem of getting contaminated surface water into the well, you must perform the following activities:

• The construction of the well should be done at the highest point of the site, which in turn must be removed from the sewer and water treatment facilities.
• Around the well it is recommended to carry out so-called "soft blind area". For this sand covered with a special preparation of a solid film, which has excellent waterproofing properties.
• If there is a high seasonal groundwater level, it is necessary to arrange drainage of closed or open, which will include removal from the well (sometimes is forced to withdrawal).

These activities are generally carried out after the pass the natural shrinkage, and the ground around the well will be more dense. Usually this process takes 1 to 3 years.

Whether or not to undertake work (digging wells) yourself?

Digging work well is risky, so have to go into the ground, where the walls may collapse, and so. D. Quite often there are cases of accidents in the construction of wells and even deaths occur.

Therefore it is necessary to strictly follow the relevant technology of work, observing safety precautions.

Cleaning, repair work, the deepening of the well

Each structure for an effective portion of the water system is a type of natural water reservoirs. These tanks, as well as ponds and open wells require regular maintenance and perform timely cleaning. During the year, in each well gets a different litter, falling leaves, twigs, etc. D. Even in those cases when the well is closed for a certain period of time, dust and dirt can get into it. The result is the accumulation of debris on the bottom of the well. Over time, debris and various objects begin to rot, which inevitably leads to deterioration of water.

It is in these cases it is necessary to resort to the well cleaning that can be done with his own hands or to invite our specialists with special equipment and necessary tools. Cleaning is recommended to carry out 1-2 times a year - this will avoid water pollution and allows to monitor the status of the well.

septic tank

Many years of practice shows that the presence of a septic tank at their summer cottage lets you get rid of any problems with sewage. Therefore, the construction of a septic tank today is a necessary measure, when it comes to their summer cottage or a country cottage.

A local sewer system is used in cases where there is no risk of contamination and soil horizon carrying the water to the water supply system. The sewage system may include a filter wells, septic (for mechanical treatment of water) and cesspools.

The essence of the septic tank system is as follows: the waste water enters the system of underground pipelines, and then in a septic tank itself, which is a well in a volume of at least 2.5 cubic meters. meters. Removal of sediment from the well is produced twice a year. Further fecal water covers the water and enter into the ground through the drainage network.

The volume of the septic tank needs to be not less than three times the maximum water discharge allowance. This will ensure the defense of water for three days and will create the necessary conditions for the accumulation of sediment, collected over the years.

Septic tank, whose capacity is 1 cu. meter per day has the following dimensions: 1.5 m - diameter, 2.5 m -... Positioning it should be no closer than 5 meters from the house.

At the end of the system to be installed drainage or filter well.
