Dig a pit with their hands in the country

to have a regular source of water is enough to dig a well in the country.To start this work is necessary in autumn.

water level falls, the soil is easier to digging, it will make a well deeper facilitate its improvement from within.

Preparing to work

To properly to dig a well, not enough to explore the technology.To start, you need to select the location of future wells.

It should be located where most water is used.Well of no place near compost heaps and toilets, the distance between them should be 20 - 30 meters.

Also, do not place it on the slopes of ravines, ponds, or the pressure of groundwater will destroy it.Do not forget about the layout of the suburban area, you will be or not to build more facilities.

To determine the water reservoirs are tools geologists - a spirit level or aneroid barometer.

Either traditional methods that were used in the village before, without giving them to this day.

For example, in the morning or in the evening a hot day notice, where the most active clubs fog.It shows the location of the shallow water layers.

plants in the area, such as mother-and-stepmother, sedges, birch require large amounts of water, so their normal development also shows that the water is close.

correct certain place guarantees you a constant source of drinking water.

the video professional will tell not only about the details of the construction of the well, but also how to determine the place for him.

What is well

Well consists of three elements.This elevated part - well head, mine, which is the middle part and the receiving water - the lowest construction site - a place where water collects.

well design can be round or rectangular, there is no consensus.Previously, the village chose a rectangular building, but now more and more inclined to round.

Typically, the depth of 10 meters, but sometimes more.It all depends on proleganiya groundwater.

to dig a well, you need:

• shovels;
• strong rope or chain;
• buckets;
• lifting mechanism to make it easier to remove the earth;
• rope ladder.

Do not forget about your own safety: a helmet on his head, and certainly it is desirable to consolidate itself tether.

Form the mine for well

trunk of the well can be made of wood, brick, made of stone, as well as of the concrete rings.The latter option is more common.

If you're going to dig a well in the country on their own, it is best to make it round to form concrete rings.

defined the place for the future the well, do the markup site.The diameter of the well bore must be 10 centimeters larger than the diameter of the concrete ring.

digs a pit, a depth slightly less than the height of the ring is 10 centimeters.

Sets concrete ring in the hole, check to see if there is no bias.Top establish the second.The fastening ring with each other using the 4 metal brackets.

joints should be sealed tarred hemp and to cover with a mixture of cement and sand.

After two rings will be installed, continue to dig a hole in the middle in the depth of 80 centimeters in the next step is to obkapat it around so that the first concrete ring plunged down under its own weight.

Pay attention to the ground.If the ground is hard, the first clean the ground from under the ring, and only then from the middle, otherwise the ring is not settled.Do not forget each time to check whether there is bias.

In the space between the outside of the concrete shaft sides and edges of the pits should fill a mixture of sand and gravel.

most the last layer, at ground level, is formed from clay.This will prevent the ingress of melt, rain water into the well.It is desirable that the top ring protrudes above the ground by about half.

Stringing rings followed by their immersion make up to the moment until the water threshold is reached, ie until the water begins to flow to the bottom of the well.If there is no water on the bottom, it means that the depth of the well is not enough.

entered with sand, water is removed.After 12 hours after the well is filled with water again, the bottom purified again.This process is repeated until the water is turbid (in the sand).When the sand will not, then the bottom right in purified water.Thereafter, the mine is left for 24 hours, pre-closing lid.

A day later evacuated collect the water and make the water intake.

Dig a pit with their hands is difficult and time consuming, but the result will please you more than a year.

How to make water intake

water or the lower part of the shaft is used to collect the water and its further use.That water was not muddy, and transparent and suitable for drinking water intake in the bottom mounted filter.

filter is made of three layers of gravel: the lowest gravel, thickness of 10 cm, medium - already larger fraction every 5 - 7, the layer thickness of 15 centimeters, and the last top layer consists of coarse gravel, its thickness is also 15 centimeters.

In that case, if the soil at the bottom of the well is viscous, wood flooring installed with notches for water filter on top of it.

Formation ground part

upper part of the well, in other words, well head - a space for imagination.Alone it can be done not only convenient and secure, but also beautiful.

more common concrete option.Top overlaps another concrete ring.The design of precipitation and debris cover is closed.

But if you spent so much effort to dig a well with their hands, say "no" to the concrete and make their own wooden headroom.

Wooden house - it is more aesthetic and hygienic option.In addition to the mechanism for lifting water, wood, as well as the concrete structure necessarily covered with a lid.

mechanism for raising the water is not only hand, recently it is often combined with an electric pump which is placed inside the well.Water liftable electric pump via pipe can be introduced directly into the bath or home.
