Not all private houses have a centralized water supply, which deprives their residents of the opportunity to use plumbing equipment and modern washing machines. But the situation can be changed by supplying water to the house using a pumping station.
Instructions
Step 1
First, find out from which source you will take water - a well or a well, the choice of the necessary equipment depends on this. If you have a well, then a pumping station with a centrifugal pump will not work, you will need a submersible pump of sufficiently high power - the well-known "Kid" will not work in this case, it is too weak. One of the best options is to use the Aquarius pump. These pumps are available in different capacities and are designed for different heights of water rise.
Step 2
If you take water from a well and the distance to the water surface does not exceed 8 meters, you can use centrifugal pumps. But in this case, you will have to install a pumping station directly at the well, which creates difficulties with its insulation for the winter. In addition, the centrifugal pump does not tolerate the drop in supply voltage, which is common in rural areas. He simply will not be able to unwind, which at best will trigger the thermal relay, at worst - the pump will fail. Therefore, here it is better to stop at a submersible pump.
Step 3
To supply water to the house, it is best to use a metal-plastic pipe of a suitable diameter, for example, an inch. Lay it in the ground, do not forget to insulate (if the depth of the pipe is less than the freezing depth of the soil). It is better to make a section of pipe inside the well from a thick-walled flexible hose, this will allow you to lift the pump up for inspection and repair without any problems.
Step 4
The rest of the pumping station is located in the house and therefore does not require insulation. In addition, it will always be under supervision, it will be easy for you to adjust it. You will need to purchase a hydraulic accumulator - a metal tank (usually blue) with an internal membrane that provides the required water pressure in the system. Control unit - it will turn on the pump when the water pressure drops to a lower value, and turn it off when the required pressure is reached. You will also need a pressure gauge and a check valve.
Step 5
All these parts can be purchased immediately in a store that sells plumbing equipment. The seller on the spot will select the necessary adapters, help you assemble all the parts into a single whole. In addition to the control unit, it is useful to install an emergency protection unit - it cuts off the power to the pump if the pressure in the system becomes zero. Be sure to install a non-return valve, it will prevent water from squeezing back through the pump into a well or well. Do not forget to purchase a tape for winding, it will be needed to seal the threaded connections.
Step 6
All internal wiring can be done with 3/4 inch metal-plastic pipes, connecting them with metal fittings. This allows you to mount a plumbing with a minimum of tools - you only need a hacksaw for metal and a few wrenches. Be sure to put a ball valve at the exit from the pumping station. Provide a tap on the pipe leading to the flexible toilet bowl. If you plan to install a washing machine, pre-install a tee with a tap.
Step 7
Always supply power to the control unit (and through it to the pump) via a circuit breaker. It not only protects the wiring in the event of a short circuit, but also makes it easy to disconnect the voltage when repairs are needed. Do not forget that the circuit breaker is placed on the phase conductor.
