Newly made summer residents always care about the primary question of how to make a water supply in the country with your own hands? Firstly, as in the song – “Without water and not tudus, and not here”. Secondly, building it yourself means to save.
What is the water supply for giving?

Immediately, we note that there are two varieties of the water supply system, it all depends on what time of year it will be required:
Summer;
Winter.
Let’s start with the first and immediately note that this species is usually used only in summer houses that are not used in winter. From which it can be made? There are several options.
Plastic pipes that can be soldered or connected by fasteners. Both of them are acceptable, they are quite simple in installation, especially the second. The first, however, will have to tinker, because the solder is made by a special device, which is popularly called an iron or electric gun. Learning to use it is not a problem.
Flexible hoses that are interconnected by plastic or steel adapters and tees. It is best to choose rubber products with a thick wall and with a reinforcing frame.
Such a water supply can be laid directly on the ground from the source of water supply to plumbing devices to taps for watering a garden or garden. It can be used in the summer, and by winter it is dismantled and put into the house. Some summer residents prefer hidden wiring, that is, all the pipes fit shallow in the ground. But here it will be necessary to take into account that the water inside the pipes freezes, therefore, the pipeline fits with a slope towards the pump, and a drain pipe is also installed inside the well, where there is a submersible pump. Through this pipe in the fall, you will have to drain the water from the pipes, that is, empty the water supply in the summer cottage.
Winter water supply

The name of this species does not mean that it can only be used in winter. It’s just a capital structure that is usually operated all year round. Therefore, the construction of such a water supply must be approached with all responsibility.
How does the process begin? By drawing up a wiring scheme. Everything needs to be taken into account here: the footage of the pipes, their diameter, the amount of shut -off valves, the number of fittings, the power of the pump, the volume of the accumulative tank, whether the cleaning filter is needed or not. That is, there are many nuances, and all of them must be foreseen.
The installation process itself begins with the installation of a submersible pump and digging trenches for water pipes in a well.
Attention! The water supply network is laid below the level of soil freezing. If this indicator is large enough, then the pipes can be laid to a depth of half a meter, but they will have to be insulated.
How to insulate the water supply in the country? Here you can use different thermal insulation materials that should be durable and moisture resistant. The main condition is to protect the insulation and the pipe itself. To do this, use a pipe of larger diameter made of steel, it will play the role of a sleeve.
It was the external part of the water supply circuit in the country. Inside the house, this system is more complicated. Depending on the allocated money, such a water supply can be provided with various additional devices and devices that will increase the quality of the water itself and the quality of the system of the system. The conversation is about filters. Today, manufacturers offer two types of filters: rough and thin cleaning. Usually they are installed sequentially and guarantee the compliance of water to all norms and requirements of modernity.
But one element is present in the water system must. This is a storage tank that performs two functions at once: collecting the required volume of water and creating pressure. Install it higher, often in the attic.
Such a water supply system in the country in winter and summer will work like a clock without creating problems. Of course, it will have to be served, but to reduce the time that will have to be spent on the tap system, it is better to install automation. It will completely control the filling of the tank, monitor all other indicators. Will have to fork out, but it is worth it.
Small tips
Even in the case of a complex scheme, there is a need to install one drain pipe through which water could be drained from the system. It is installed in the well after the pump.
Today you can use a more advanced model for insulation of water pipes. For this, a special heating cable is used.
Experts recommend the wires for supplying electricity to the pump to be carried out on a water pipe. If the well is far from the house, then the connection shield is best transferred to the well. To do this, a pit with dimensions of 70×70 cm and a depth of 1 m breaks down nearby. It is necessarily insulated and concreted. There is a shield, as well as the general valve of the system.
This way is built with your own hands.
