Nowadays, everyone summer resident dreams of his well or well, as it is very dependent on central water supply, with which, to put it mildly, sometimes there are all kinds of failures, breakdowns, and even accidents at the water utility. This negatively affects vegetables and greens on the beds, because full growth requires water for irrigation.
Yes, it happens, in some country cooperatives, water is served on certain days of the week and strictly allocated hours for this. Hence, a natural desire arises to gain water independence and not be afraid anymore if there is suddenly no water in the tap, for whatever reason. But naturally digging a well or drilling a well is a costly and very time-consuming process. Yes, and the site will have to be spoiled a bit, trampled down, land to be thrown, dirt throughout the site. Cash costs are also not small, the well will become gold.
So what to do to a simple summer resident, a pensioner with this misfortune. Of course, as always think with your head and look for a rational solution to this problem. How to save time and family budget?
And the author begins to search for a solution to this complex, but very important problem for improving living conditions, both of his family and his breadwinner. He read literature on the subject, surfed the Internet in search of an alternative solution. And he came to the conclusion that the Abyssinian well would do do it yourself.
The principle is the same as simple drilling only in place of iron pipes were taken ordinary plastic sewer pipes with a diameter of 110, two were enough. From the beginning, our hero drilled a hole with an ordinary 180 cm garden drill, then he drilled it with the pipe itself, as he did, it will be seen in the photographs taken by him during the work. So what did the author take for his work?
Materials: PVC pipes, plug, steel wire, hose, baby pump.
Instruments: vernier caliper, hacksaw, screwdriver, pliers.
And so the first thing the author does is markup for the drill.
And here is the drill itself, the cuts were done with a hacksaw.
Here's a crosshair made of steel wire for reinforcement.
And on the back there is a plug with such an adapter for a hose.
At the joint, twisted with screws.
Next, we drill a well with a garden drill ..
And then he began to drill already with a pipe, installed cement blocks for weighting on the back, connected a pump to the adapter and supplied water to the pipe.
Movement left, right begins to deepen.
For turns, pipes are made with such blocks.
That's essentially the whole design. During the day, the author drilled a six meter well for himself without any help and without a penny of money spent. Our hero gained his water independence. According to him, if pumping water with a pump sways 60 -80 liters, then half an hour should wait and you can pump again.
