Very often in the cottages or in private suburban homes do not have Central water supply. It’s not a problem if you host a well or wells, the drilling of the wells is quite expensive, and many gardeners would like to try to make a hole yourself. This process is not the easiest, but quite real, and the intricacies of its implementation will be discussed below.
Drilling
Before you begin, you will need to know how deep lies the aquifer. You can find it at the neighbors. Manually it is possible to drill no more than 20 feet if the ground is soft. The drill must have a diameter not less than 15 cm in order to bore you to lower casing.
Before you drill a well, locate on the site the lowest place, but note that it must be far away from septic tank and other places that can pollute the water.
In the place where you want to begin, first digging a pit. Pit size should be 1, 5 1, 5 meters. Enough to make in to a depth of one meter. To the walls of the pit are not sprinkled, you can strengthen them with planks.
Then you can start to assemble the tripod. To do this you need three bars, whose diameter must not be less than 15 cm Can be used for these purposes, a metal pipe, 4.5 meter length.
Timber or pipe should be laid in a triangle on the ground. Then you need to drill holes in them and stick to the pipe. It will need to consolidate in order to support the design never left. Then in the tripod you need to fix the winch. If you intend to use a mechanical winch, the top of the structure is necessary to place the cylindrical block through which it will be possible to throw the rope.
Layout of the standard auger for drill
Well with your hands often drilled with the auger: it is a special drill bit. In order to begin to drill, you’ll need an assistant. A rotating auger is lowered into the ground, and it begins to rotate clockwise. Doing it together is much easier. When the drill is completely gone in the ground, it must pull winch. Bur brush from the ground and again lowered into the ground. It lasts as long as you don’t run into the aquifer.
In order that the drill could dig deeper, lengthen it with a metal rod. Bur you can buy in the store or to rent, check for any soil it is.
After you finish drilling, you will need to clean the bore from the various small debris. This will require a bailer. With this tool you can align the walls of the well and release well from foreign objects.
The process of backfilling with gravel
After you have cleaned the hole, to fill its bottom with gravel. Crushed need a small, fit and gravel. Need to pour a layer about 30 cm, after that, well need to lower the pipe to the filter. Pipe it is desirable to use plastic.
After the pipe with the filter has taken its place, you can proceed to fixing other pipes. Pipe down one at a time. You can push them with a sledgehammer in order that they lay tightly.
A hole was drilled in the country with their hands can fill the pipes gradually. But you will need to do a larger diameter hole, otherwise the drill pipe will turn.
In this case, the pipe is pushed down after each lowering of the drill. When the drill reaches the water layer, the tube should be sunk, so it does not block access to water.
Before you put the filter, the well should be pumped using a pump.
The space between the pipe and borehole is filled with cement-sand mortar for isolation of the well from meltwater.
Hydroporinae
If your soil is clay, you can apply hydroporinae well. This method considerably saves your time and effort.
In order for the drill to work, you want the flush water, which the plant will be pouring into the place of penetration of the drill. You will be required to assemble a drilling rig, you can buy or rent. Once you gathered the drill, you need to dig a pit about a meter deep and a meter on the meter in width. Such wells should be several. They need to be connected to each other by the trenches. The pits are filled with technical water, then hose down the rig. As in pits, except water, will be a clay suspension, the rig will begin to use it for polishing the walls of the well. A fairly easy way of getting water in the area is hydroporinae wells with her own hands video you can watch on our website.
Filter device ↑
A cleaning element generally serves to ensure that the water does not leak large particles of debris from the bottom of the well. Filter for wells with their hands, it is possible to make yourself. He should consist of several parts:
-
The sump under the filter.
-
Directly the filter.
-
The plot of space above it.
The free area above the filter, it becomes possible to attach to the well casing. The filter is executed in the form of mesh barrier that will prevent stones and debris get into the pipe. The sump is necessary in order that the silt and the soil remained there and did not get into the pipe. The easiest way to make a perforated filter. To do this, the tube is drilled a plurality of holes. They should be in the place where the pipe will be in the water. The distance between the holes should be no more than 2 cm Drilling is best at an angle of 60 degrees. From the pipe you need to remove the debris and clean up the holes. The lower part of the filter should be covered with a plug of wood. For holes it is best to impose a fine mesh.
Classic filter for wells
There are other ways of making a filter for wells with their hands, for example, gravel filter. To do this you need to sprinkle the mouth well with fine gravel. Gravel needs to be cleaned well. The layer thickness should not be less than 50 mm.
The arrangement of the well ↑
Water with your own hands, as we have seen, is based not so difficult. But the above is not the end of the work. As well you can use all year round, you need to make the caisson, which will stabilize the temperature of the well.
Caisson for wells with their hands to make also. A caisson is a container that will contain all the equipment to work well. You can make it any size and any shape that the man could go down there. The easiest way to make the caisson concrete. If you are close by groundwater, you will have to seal the. The caisson is constructed simply. First is shuttering, and then it goes down the frame of the armature, and the whole structure is poured concrete.
Caisson
To ensure that the borehole would not reach the trash, you need to make headroom for the well; with his hands he also made quite simple: this will require sheet metal with a thickness of 10 mm. From it we need to cut the flange, an inner diameter should be slightly greater than the external diameter of the pipe. Then cut the flange of the plug to which you want to weld a fitting introduction. The fitting holds the cable and the conduit.
How to make to drill wells with their own hands? ↑
The drawings the device of the Boers
The drill must be made of metal. The drill itself is a metal rod with sharp end. On the sides are his knives. For the manufacture of cavities-knives you can take half of a steel disc whose thickness is 150 mm. Then the blades should be welded to the rod at an angle of 20 degrees. Halves of the disc needs to be placed opposite each other. Between the parallel blades angle should be 40 degrees.
It is possible to make stretcher drill. It looks like a cylinder with a longitudinal slot on the side. The length of such auger – 700 mm. to Make such a drill can be made of sheet steel, which is to be rolled on the desired size and secure with welding.
Other kinds of wells ↑
There are other types of such water sources. It is not necessary to dig to a greater depth: for example, you can use a bore up to 15 metres, if you make Abyssinian a well. Abyssinian well with their hands as follows.
The soil is pierced to the required depth up to the aquifer. To do this, use inch pipe with a thin tip on the end. At depth the pipe is fixed, self-priming pump that creates a vacuum. If this well will be to give a little of water, can be placed on the site a few Abyssinian wells.
To punch a hole with your hands, it is best to choose a light sandy soil. Note that Abyssinian the well can be done at each site. In order to make it work, the water should be no deeper than 8 meters. Of course, you can dig and more. Remember that on the stony ground to arrange this well will not work. For Abyssinian well you can use metal or plastic pipe. Easier just to cut them at two meters. Pipe down in the earth gradually and are connected by a thread. You can use a tape for plumbing or oil paint for sealing joints.
A well for water with their hands ↑
You can apply and coupler for secure connection. If the design is not tight, it’ll break. Note that the tip diameter should exceed the diameter of the pipe. At the end of the pipe must be located a filter needle. It is needed in order to protect the well from debris and to ensure the supply of clean water. The needle is best done from metal or pipe material. For the production of filter needle need to do in the tube hole width of 8 mm. Holes must be placed in a checkerboard pattern. For holes soldered a stainless steel mesh. Instead of the cover to the pipe end is welded to a sharp point, which should be somewhat wider than the pipe. For spears it’s best to use tin.
No need to use lead, as it severely pollutes the water and makes it unusable.
Elements for the well-needle
Bore needle with your hands can be built in different ways: it can be boring, and can score. In order to score the design into the ground, you’ll need an effective woman, and at the tube permanently you need to pour water. After the water abruptly goes into the soil, the design can be made deeper in the soil. After she drops half a meter, it is possible to install the pump.
When driven method, there is a risk not to get into the aquifer or to damage the structure of the stone. Drilling in this respect safer, but you’ll need special equipment.
How to do well with their hands? Features of the construction of Abyssinian wells ↑
First you need to determine its location. It can be on the street and in the basement. Then you will need to dig a hole the depth and width of 1 meter. Topsoil can be removed brown. You can then start to hammer into the soil pipe. This requires a load of about 30 kg. will Fit pancakes from the rod. The pipe is to be sent to the center of the pit. Once the pipe go into the ground, you need to install a second line and continue. Upon reaching the aquifer should wash out the filter. The pump need to pump out the dirty water. The area around the well is concreted. After this you can connect the well to the water.
Abyssinian well is a simple device in the water with your hands, which will not require large financial costs and relatively easy to construct on the lot or inside the building.
