If the country house is not connected to the water supply, then its residents are experiencing serious problems with civilized acceptance of the shower, going to the toilet and sometimes even cooking. But summer residents usually do not seek to invest a lot of money and water supply if they can do without it. If the need is obvious (usually when the family spends a lot of time in a country house), then you have to look for a budget for a particular way of creating an autonomous water supply system.
Autonomous water supply of a private house: wells and wells VS all other options
The most popular way to supply the house with autonomous water supply is to hire people who are engaged in drilling wells on water. If you bought a house in a good place, then you do not have to drill an expensive artesian well, and you will pay the cheapest version of the turnkey sand well, which will give you enough water to supply the family. Nevertheless, turnkey well is a complex system, and no matter how shallow it is, it will have to be given a small amount for it (it is necessary to equip it and its installation, and not just the work of the drillers). The well is equipped differently than the well, but the essence of both is to use underground waters.
There are few alternatives to underground waters, and if you have no opportunity to connect to the central water supply, then you will be recommended that the drilling of wells will be recommended. You can order water with containers, but this water will only be enough for cooking. Sometimes people arrange ponds to use water from them (especially for watering), but ponds, in fact, also provide you with water from underground sources and rainwater (the pond can “eat” from various sources, but country ponds most often exist from soil water and drainage water). In rural areas, ponds are often made with the aim of irrigation and breeding of fish, as well as for storing water for economic purposes. Another option is to use artificial containers for storing water. In such containers you can store a large supply of water delivered to you or accumulate rain water.
Containers for storing water or water from underground and surface sources (wells, wells, ponds)
Both storage containers for water and wells are a long -term version of autonomous water supply. Many people in rural areas still use them, and consider these options convenient. In fact, these are really good and favorable options with which you can work so that they become even more comfortable (if desired). For example, if you have a well, then you can conduct a good high -quality water supply to the house that will not differ from the city water supply. But the more comfortable your option, the more expensive it costs. For example, you can traditionally get water from the well with a bucket or bathe an electric pump, connect it to the pipe, draw this pipe into the house and remove water from the well through the crane directly in the kitchen. Add a water heater or boiler to this system, and you will receive a warm water supply.
In fact, that a well or well is supplied with clean water, you will have to take care of some support, for example, filters. In the past, as now, the wells were carefully lined with a stone so that the collapse and pollution of water does not occur (even if the animal falls into the well, it will ruin the water). Now they do the same, but additional processing of the well is also required to prevent modern pollutants from entering the groundwater, namely toxins. Previously, the well was made manually (it was dug up with shovels and the perimeter was manually designed by stones). The classic modern option is a concrete ring. The well itself is dug up using heavy earthmovation, and the well is made by a large drilling apparatus.
Wells and wells are an attractive option for most regions in our country, because access to groundwater is access to excellent clean water. Tanks are used to collect not so clean rainwater (although you can store clean water brought to you in them in them). Weather in Russia, as a rule, allows you to collect rain water, but in winter, this collection can be problematic (because the water will freeze), and in the summer there may not be rain, so there will be no water. Rainwater can only be used for household purposes, so if you want to drink it, you will have to clean it through filters.
The accumulative containers were most often used in arid regions and were built on cases when wells fail (that is, as a backup source of water).
Water tanks are sometimes buried in the ground, because underground tanks lose less water due to fumes, but it is more difficult to get water from underground containers (electric pumps or lowering the bucket are required).
