Water supply at home for year-round living and summer cottages is very different. For a cottage, sometimes a well and a pump are enough, for which it is necessary to purchase filters and a control system such as automation for water supply pumps in Aquatuls. A private house is most often planned with the provision of water not only for irrigation and drinking, but also for heating, hot water supply and provision of significant water needs for running a household.
Composition of the pumping station
The set of any pumping station includes the following equipment:
- water intake (well, open reservoir, well) equipped with a pipeline, filters and fittings;
– a pump of the required design and power with protective automation;
– a control unit with sensors for maintaining the water level in the tanks, the pressure in the home pipeline and other options;
- hydroaccumulators (tanks for storing drinking and household water) with the necessary fittings.
The last two items may be missing in the minimum summer house set: the pump is controlled manually, and instead of hydraulic accumulators, barrels for irrigation and containers for drinking water are used.
Selection of a pumping station
Power and type of pumping station, as well as its price, are determined by three components:
- the possibilities of the water source (volume of water and remoteness of the open reservoir, depth and discharge of aquifers for a well or well);
– the maximum water demand, taking into account heating, hot water supply and sewage, the number of consumers and the number of floors of the building;
- the budget planned for water supply.
The first two points require the collection of information on the source of water related to the location of the house (in particular, from the neighbors), the necessary measurements for the length and diameter of future pipelines outside the house and the distribution of consumers inside the house. Then, according to the plan of the house, determine the pressure characteristics for the correct operation of household appliances and the water consumption that the pumping station must provide. There are many calculators on the Internet that allow you to calculate the performance of the station taking into account these data.
The third point allows you to choose what brand the station will be, what the design of the pump is, how noisy it is, and what materials it is made of. Whether there is warranty and post-warranty service, equipment and additional functions also depends on the budget and needs of the future owner.
The most inexpensive country house option is when the organization that drills the well supplies a pump or pumping station. They know the depth of the well, they draw up a passport for it, install a pump and provide warranty service.
This approach is also good for large country houses. If the budget allows, it is very convenient to include the necessary water supply parameters in the project and get the desired result from a respectable company.
