Any reservoir or source with water needs to be cleaned and preventive measures taken. The well of the country plot, filled with natural water resources, is no exception. At what time of the year and how to properly clean the well yourself?

If the water in the well deteriorates
The presence of a well-groomed well with clean and tasty water is not denied. But how well the well would not have been built, with time the groundwater will do its work.
Therefore, if the owner of a country plot with a well felt that:
• well water has acquired an unpleasant smell and taste
• in the structure, the static and dynamic water level fell,
hence, it is time to clean the well.
The cause of contamination of well water may be damage to the interior of the structure:
• cracking or rupture of joints
• decay of untreated wood
• displacement of construction rings.
To eliminate the causes of contamination, it is recommended to combine repair and cleaning of the wells.
What will be the "resuscitation" works and how to clean the well?
Methods of cleaning the well
There are the following ways of cleaning the wells:
• Manual
• using a pump.
The manual method of cleaning the well is simple: the water is pumped out, the ladder descends to the bottom of the well and the cleaner cleanses the dirt from the walls of the structure and rinses the bottom filter.
The automated method of cleaning consists in the use of a drain pump and a pressure unit to create circulation of the used liquid.
Whichever method of cleaning the owner of the well uses, the rule will remain unchanged when it is better to clean the well.
Helpful Tips
Specialists (those who clean wells regularly) believe that the best time to clean the well is the end of the summer. By this time of year the water balance of groundwater and underground sources has a minimum debit of filling. And this means that the water in the well is in the minimum amount, facilitating manual cleaning.
Cleaning the well and carrying out repairs by one's own hands
At present it is difficult to find a specialist or a team that will perform the necessary activities in a qualified manner. Therefore, it is necessary to learn in detail how to clean the well with your own hands.
cleaning equipment
Recall that "cleaning" works are labor-consuming and unsafe. Buckle the dirty water with buckets, standing on a slippery staircase in the stuffy tunnel of the well, only the daredevil and his friends will venture.
Work is preferable during the daytime with a team of three people. By the way, as a "climbing" equipment you need:
• safety rope and rope
• comfortable staircase
• Support rods
• wooden swing with hook
• grounds on ropes
• hunting rubber boots
• helmet.
Wearing a canvas suit, wearing boots and a helmet, you can gradually fall into the shaft of the well, fixing the safety wire on the strap. An obligatory condition of descent-lifting is the presence of a superficial insurer and a signal rope.
Helpful Tips
If the cleaner's equipment causes a smile and ridicule of others, then it's vain emotions - you can not do without reliable insurance. Checked by the time and work on the descent of the mine rescuers. Safety equipment can be hired.
Immersed in the shaft of the well, the cleaner on visual inspection becomes clear how to clean the well and what needs to be repaired inside.
cleaning and carrying out necessary repairs
When cleaning a well, it may be necessary to do the following:
• reinforcement and sealing of seams of concrete rings
• cleaning of bottom filters
• repair of wooden structures
the more preferable to strengthen and seal the seams
To strengthen and seal the damaged seams of rings, cracks or potholes, the sealant is waterproof. The simplest type of reinforcement is also a traditional concrete mortar. But, as the practice of cleaning the well shows, it is preferable to produce fastening works with a more reliable material, such as a Fasi RM concrete surface repair agent or waterproofing impregnating impregnations.
The restorer of the concrete surface of the wells is a traditional cement mortar, which is applied to the work surface with a spatula. In addition, there are materials for filling cracks and joints: Penetron, Peneplag and Penecret.
How to properly clean a well by hand with full dehumidification
On how well the well will be cleaned, the duration of its further functioning will depend. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare metal brushes and special disinfectant solutions. We make the pumping of water from the well and begin cleaning the walls of mucus and dirt.
After cleaning the walls of the well with brushes, disinfect them.
chemistry for wells
For the cleaning of wells, there are currently many ready-made solutions that contain disinfectant and stabilizing agents. This is the composition for the Chemoclor pools. Of course, to clean the walls of the well, you can use a conventional solution of potassium permanganate, which can be used to water the walls from inside without leaving a gap.
After cleaning the walls, the bottom filter is cleaned. It is preferable to replace the upper layers of the filter with fresh pebbles.
Cleaning the well using a drain pump
Cleaning the well with a drain pump is done without pumping water.
Before cleaning the drainage well, the unit is installed on a special stand, which has a wide base, thus eliminating the possibility of failure in the silt. Then the pump discharge hose is lowered to the bottom of the prepared container to 300 liters.
On the upper part of the tank, a suction hose is mounted and connected. The pump pressure hose is equipped with a hydraulic attachment, which allows to form a jet of necessary density and speed. We activate the vibrating pump, and then with an interval of 10 minutes - drainage. Periodically, in the process of work, we clean the filters.
When pumping out the liquid from the well, the settled dirt on the walls and the bottom is removed manually using a nebulizer and chemistry for the wells. The end of work can be considered a clean water filter.
The process of cleaning the well is shown in this video.
