Very often in country houses onlythe source of water is a well or well located on the site. A pipeline is laid from them to the pumping station and wiring is carried out at all points of the pumping station. In fact, this is a classical scheme, which is one of the most acceptable in the absence of a central water supply.
Modern problem
Thus, it is quite easy to resolve the issue with the water supply.
Many private country sites border onfields where farmers grow different crops - sunflower, rape, corn, etc. A couple of decades ago, this would mean nothing, except the possibility of making stocks at someone else's expense. Now everything has become different, and instead of teams of old women-weeders, who were brought to the fields to control weeds, farmers use chemical means of protection. These are pesticides, herbicides, growth stimulants and fertilizers. The problem is that the whole “bouquet” after use gets into the soil, and from there - to underground water sources. Needless to say, water purification from a well is a necessity, which in the most direct sense can save lives?
Preparation
Before acquiring and installing water purification systems from a well, there are a few preparatory steps to be done:
- Update stock in a well or well. To do this, you need to pump out all the water in order to replace it with a new one.
- To clean the clay and sand, which are gradually washed in the process of operation.
- Wash the capacity of the accumulator, as a lot of dirt is collected there in a couple of years of work.
- To hand over water test for the developed analysis.
By the way, sometimes this is already enoughto normalize quality. However, regardless of the outcome, a well water purification filter is a necessity. The only question is which one.
Existing options
The element for which water treatment is necessary is a well. The price of an impurity removal system sometimes exceeds the cost of organizing the source itself. Although this, of course, an exception.
Decide how to clean water withwells, it is necessary only after the results of the analysis are obtained. There are no other options. The acquisition and assembly of a powerful cleaning system, capable of removing virtually any impurities, is associated with significant financial costs and is hardly advisable. Similarly, the installation of low-cost options can only be a sedative factor, in reality, it is ineffective.
For example, with increasing well depth in watercontains more and more calcium and magnesium salts - the very ones that cause scum in the kettle. Water from superdeep sources usually requires the removal of fluorine compounds. In any case, the optimal solution is a complex organization of cleaning, which includes several steps.
For orientation in the cost of treatment systems, we present a small list:
- the simplest three-step solutions, including three stages of filtering, will cost at least 2800 rubles;
- for the reverse osmosis household will have to pay more than 8,000 rubles;
- productive balloon systems cost at least 30 thousand rubles.
Elimination of large particles
Every owner of an autonomous water supply systemwhen assembling and setting up the pumping station, care must be taken to ensure that mechanical water is cleaned from the well. Filters of this type are designed to remove particles of clay, sand (turbidity) and some impurities that give the water a smell.
More expensive solutions are electromagnetic,bleed metals and their salts. But perhaps the best option is to clean the water from the well using a porous filter stage. Usually it is a polypropylene block that delays particles with a diameter greater than 5 microns. It is mounted in front of other cleaning systems.
The effectiveness of this unit can be checked during routine maintenance of the accumulator pear: if clay and sand are gathered in it, then rough cleaning is not effective enough.
How to remove salt
The real trouble of all owners of wells and wells- this is increased rigidity. Brown color, metallic taste, scale on the heating elements of the devices and the bottom of the kettle are indirect signs of excessive mineralization. If you speak a scientific language, then if you exceed 3 mg per liter, it is worth thinking about mitigation. However, if the hardness is less than 2 mg / l, then the corrosion of iron water pipes can be accelerated.
If a balloon system is used, it is worthto think about the installation of a special salt tank, which helps to regenerate the ion-exchange resin, several times increasing the duration of this unit.
As already mentioned, the purification of hard water from a well can be carried out by distillation. The output is almost perfect liquid, devoid of impurities.
Stage Three
Well water treatment also includespassing a liquid through another block - a carbon filter. Most often, the burned coconut shell acts as the active ingredient. During its sintering at certain temperatures, large pores are formed in the structure of the coal, which inhibit impurities. This unit is unrecoverable, so the cartridge must be replaced after the time specified in the instructions.
Bringing to the ideal
And finally, water purification from a well is unthinkable without a reverse osmosis filter.
Feature of osmosis
Теоретически обратноосмотическая фильтрация able to solve most of the problems of cleaning. However, in this mode of operation, the membrane quickly fails, so the flask with the filter element is part of a three-stage system that includes coarse cleaning, softening and removal of other impurities. It should be noted that even osmosis does not save from nitrates, pesticides and some other similar substances used in modern agricultural technologies. In the best case, it is possible to reduce the concentration of these elements several times, but a multistage system is required for complete removal. The cost of such decisions starts from 8 thousand rubles. However, we recommend refraining from cheap models when using water from a well.
