The question of water supply is very relevant for many owners of country houses and seasonal dachas. The well equipment can become the good decision here. Having such construction, it is possible to provide itself with clear water for the most various needs. Construction of well the hands demands thoughtful planning and observance of certain hydrotechnical requirements and rules.
Study the area where the well device is planned. You need to have exact idea of availability on the site of underground waters and of depth of their bedding. The biopower frame which lozokhodets use can sometimes help with it, but handling of this exotic tool demands certain skills. It is the simplest to inquire about availability of water and its level at owners of adjoining properties who have already got own wells.
If on adjoining properties the level of water lifting is rather identical and close to surface, most likely, the area has the identical level of the water horizon. Therefore it is possible to dig well independently practically in any place of your site. If the depth of waters exceeds ten meters, it is necessary to think over question of drilling of the well and to invite for such works the help of professionals.
Choose material for construction of well. It can be wooden felling or design from concrete rings. The choice will depend on your opportunities and personal preferences. The felling is more preferable as it can quite be made and established by own efforts, and here the concrete structure will be difficult to be put without application of lifting gears. If you have stopped the choice on wooden felling, determine its horizontal section and height. Height is defined by depth of waters to which it is necessary to add not less half a meter that the felling acted over soil. The simplest the method of joining of logs "in corner" is considered. Mark logs and do grooves to which other logs or bars will be driven from two parties. It is the most convenient to collect felling on the earth then to move it to hole, having used the help of the workmate or lifting devices. After assembly of felling dig out under it hole of such size that the design freely entered it. It is also desirable to impose hole walls with brick, and to lay layer of sand or crushed stone which will perform water treatment function on bottom. Place felling in the dug-out hole so that its lower cut was lower than the level of bedding of waters. Fill up space between walls of hole and felling with soil. After a while water in well will begin to rise gradually and will reach natural level. To upper part of felling attach on racks of gate, and to the last – metal chain and bucket. That the bucket well sank, but did not float on water surface, put on small cargo, for example steel ring the handle. It is desirable to cover felling wooden for prevention of pollution of well. The space around well is recommended to be covered with pipe rack from boards not to allow around construction of excessive dampness. Now, upon termination of works, you can enjoy clear spring water from the well constructed by the hands.
