How to make a water supply in a private house

To make a water supply in a private house, you can use the services of specialists or create a project of the water supply system on their own and embody it into life.

Draw a scheme of the future water supply, given all consumers (washing machine, mixers, dishwasher, heating boiler, column, etc.), refer to the cranes for overlapping water in different parts of the system. Connecting consumers is two types:

The serial connection provides for the removal of water from the central pipe to each consumer with a tee. This method is relatively economical, but has a significant drawback - there is a pressure loss in the subsequent consumer when the previous one is turned on. This method is suitable for not extended water pipes with a small number of consumers.
At the collector connection, there is a leading of individual pipes from the central collector, so that the pressure in each consumer is the same. However, the cost of materials is much higher due to the larger number of pipes.

Choose a water pipeline: copper, iron, plastic or metalplastic. Each material has its advantages and disadvantages:

Copper pipes are the best and most expensive option. They are not corrosion, the effects of ultraviolet, harmful impurities in water, do not react to temperature differences and increased pressure.
Iron pipes are durable, not exposed to high temperatures and increased pressure, but they suffer from corrosion and complex in installation. For each connection it is necessary to cut the metal thread, or use welding, which requires additional tools and skills.
The basis of metal-plastic pipes lies aluminum, from the outer and inner side coated with a layer of polyethylene. The entire water supply system can be collected using a knife and two wrench keys. But it cannot be installed inside the walls and in closed spaces, because Rubber gaskets in places of compound are short-lived, which leads to the flow and necessity of repair.
Plastic (polypropylene) pipes are distinguished by durability, material inertness, ease of installation and relatively low cost. To connect this type of pipes, a special soldering iron is used.

If the water supply of the house is carried out from the well or well, the water supply station is installed in the water supply system, which consists of a pump, filters and a hydroaccumulator. The pump is designed to supply water to the house. The hydroaccumulator is a sealed tank of two sections (a rubber "pear" with water and a metal compartment for air under pressure), designed for long-term maintenance of constant pressure in the system. When a certain pressure is reached, the hydroaccumulator relay turns off the pump, and as water flows when the pressure drops to a certain value, includes. The volume of the tank is selected with the needs of the family. The best place for the pumping station is a basement, basement or any heated room to protect the device from the effect of low temperatures in winter.

Calculate the number of necessary materials. Mount all pipes according to the rules of work with the selected material. Connect all consumers and take a test start. Carefully check each connection to possible flows. Wrap the pipe with a special material, for example, Parlelex® NPE T, which is suitable for all types of rooms, protects against condensate, reduces heat loss, reduces noise levels.

Filters or cleaning systems for water are increasingly demanded, which are installed to clean the technical water throughout the water supply system in the house or for high-quality drinking water filtration.

I agree that in such cases it is necessary to contact the specialists. To me last fall, the company Megaskat was done, only positive impressions remain and everything works well. And if you independently create a project, then it seems to me, without the help of specialists, it is still not to do without the help, but still all this should be done in reality.
