To date, the issue of providing a home on the backyard outside the city with drinking water is quite solvable, and without any problems. Modern technical equipment makes it possible to mount a system that delivers water practically anywhere, and also to supply water under different conditions. Owners who have minimal skills in installing pipes, can arrange the water supply independently. To some extent, this process can even be fascinating.

Water supply of a country house
In cases where a water main or some other source with drinking water does not pass near the house, it will be necessary to create it, in one of four known methods:
- drill a hole
- dig a well
- use the water of a nearby river (this option involves the mandatory equipment of a high-quality water purification system), laying pipes from it to the house
- to equip the site with a personal water storage facility in the form of, for example, cisterns, in which the imported water will be stored.
There is also an alternative solution, which involves the accumulation, in specially designed for this reservoir, meltwater or rainwater. Use this water can only after a high-quality cleaning.
Proceeding from the fact that snow falls only at a certain time of the year, and rains are periodically, the use of this source has to be counted only as an additional. It will save a certain amount of finance, on imported water, it should be noted is not so cheap.
Naturally, the most acceptable options for water supply for a country house, directly depend on the location of the site itself. But, there are cases when the choice is still possible. Here it is necessary to rely on knowledge of the peculiarities concerning each single method of water supply.
Even if there is a central water supply to a country house, alternative options should be considered that will avoid problems in the event of accidents or a severe drop in water pressure, as in situations of suburban or suburban areas such situations often arise.

river nearby
At first glance, the source is almost inexhaustible, but, like everything else, has its pros and cons.
The main problem of this option is the mandatory construction of a filtration integrated complex, for the production of high-quality water purification, which, in turn, will require not small financial investments and a certain amount of time.
In addition to construction costs, you will also need constant investment during the operation of the complex.
When the minimum water treatment from the river is completed, it can be used only for technical needs (watering lawns, trees, flushing the toilet bowl and the like). If, in addition to the river cleaned liquid, will take care of delivery and storage of imported water, then budgetary savings can pleasantly surprise owners.
drilling of the wells
The well water supply will ensure a stable, and the water received from the bowels of the earth is clean enough, sometimes it is enough to install only ordinary filters to clean it.
Drilling a well, as an analogue of the water supply of a house on a plot of land, is not a bad option, you can even say perfect. But here there are some nuances. Wells will suit owners who do not permanently reside in the house, that is, those who will use water periodically. Its main drawbacks are its slow fillability with daily use of water and rapid silting during interval use.
The shortcomings are sufficient, and if the owner does not pay any attention to them, drilling of new sources of water will have to be carried out with frequent intervals, which in turn entails constant financial costs and temporary inconveniences.
well
Practically ideal variant of water supply organization is a well. This is a good replacement for the well. It makes it possible to consume a fairly large volume of groundwater. It has practically no drawbacks, but only on the condition that its construction was carried out very qualitatively and, in addition, it is equipped with protection against internal destruction, and measures are taken to prevent penetration of liquid into it during the rain.
In addition, water from both the well and from the well is practically not subject to cleaning. Such a water supply at home on the site, to date, is considered the most universal. On the well, as a source of liquid, you can count in almost any situation.
private mini-storage of imported water
The equipment of such a reservoir does not require special labor and skills. To create it, you will need: one or more tanks of stainless steel or plastic. Their number may vary depending on the needs of the family members living on the territory, the area allocated to the garden, the garden and the like.
Tanks, in a certain way, are buried in the ground. Then, mounting works are performed to connect the tanks to the pipeline system and, using a pump, equip the supply of imported liquid in the required structures:
- house
- summer cuisine
- summer shower and the like
There is also a more budget-friendly version of the mini-storage design, without the use of a pump. In such cases, the tanks are placed on a raised platform - this allows the liquid in them to spontaneously flow into the rooms to which the pipeline system is connected.
However, there is one significant drawback: almost all modern equipment operating on water (heaters, heating boilers), assumes a certain pressure in the water pipe, which can only be created by a pump.
It is worth noting one more nuance. If the owner, in parallel with the imported water plans to use rain and thawed, then the capacity for them should be separate. Similarly, you need to do with water systems: from tanks with different quality water, different systems must be equipped that will protect water from mixing.
In any case, do not take a rash decision about the choice of a country water supply option. It is worthwhile to carefully study, think, calculate, weigh, and only after that start any action.

Scheme of water supply for a country house and installation of a water pipe
Materials that will be needed to install a water pipe in the area can be purchased at any construction store. Such work does not require special skills and will not take much time. Buy the following equipment for the water supply of a country house: directly the water supply system and the pumping station, to create a head and feed, thereby, water. Assembly of both of them occurs on the principle of a children's designer.
After carefully studying the source material, one can understand the principle of mounting a water supply system. First of all, you need to install a pumping station. Its installation is usually done near the source in the recess, while firmly securing it. Then install the water supply. Then connect: a source with a pump, a pump with a water pipe.
Quite often there are situations when there is a centralized water supply system on the territory of the site, but the water supply is carried out only at certain times. In such cases, the water supply scheme should be slightly modified. In it, you need to make a reservoir in which the accumulation of liquid will take place. Its volume should correspond to the amount of liquid that is necessary for daily consumption.
Such a tank should be equipped with a valve with a float-lock. A similar system is present in the toilet bowls and prevents excessive pouring of liquid into the tank. Understand the operation of the system is not: about the time of inclusion in the centralized water system, it is fed into the tank; after filling the tank to a certain level, the float is switched on and thus the liquid supply stops. The liquid enters the room through a pumping station.

Installation of heating, water supply of a country house
To equip hot water in a country house, you can by analogy with the arrangement of central heating in homes.
Here you can use any of the known options for water heating: a water heater running from an electrical network, a gas-powered column, a heat exchanger operating from a heating system.
It's good to understand everything, you can understand that the arrangement of water supply in the house on the backyard, the process is not complicated. Building systems is simple. The main thing is to choose the right elements and understand how to work with them.
