Banya on site, water supply and sewerage by own hands

What Russian does not like fast driving, you can rephrase - what Russian does not like a bath. If a person has his own plot, not only a country house or a dacha is being built on it, but, almost always, a bathhouse is being built. Bath, a source of health, a place to communicate with friends and family. Naturally, if you are going to build a bathhouse, first consider the source of the water supply for the bath. And water is necessary not only for the bath itself, but also for the shower, which in the modern bath is a natural supplement to the steam bath. And in order not to face the problem of water supply, even at the construction stage it is necessary to think over the water supply system. Water can be fed into the bathhouse by connecting to the central water supply, if available, to connect water from the well or create a water supply to the bath from the well. All of the above methods can be done on their own.

Bath on site, the scheme of water supply to the bathhouse

Any method of water supply to a bath includes certain steps, namely:

  • it is necessary to determine the type of water supply of the suburban area;
  • depending on the method of water supply, it is necessary to lay the pipeline from the water source to the bathhouse;
  • in the bathhouse itself it is necessary to mount a pipeline with connection to the boiler and to the installed plumbing;
  • lay sewer from the drain to the sewer.


We will not consider the connection of water from the central water supply, but consider the supply of water from the well and from the well.

Bath on site, water supply of the bath from the well

When water supply of the bath from the well, first of all it is necessary to drill a well. Drilling a well is expensive, for this a special drilling rig is needed.

The cost of a well depends directly on the depth of the well.

The plus of your own well is complete independence from neighbors, better water than well, since water is supplied from the deep well water-bearing layers from the well.

A minus is a big financial expense.

However, any laying of the water supply system requires, in order to prevent the freezing of water, laying the pipeline, below the freezing level of the ground, and the equipment for supplying water from the well must be located in a special technical room.


Depending on the terrain, the climatic conditions of the region, the depth of the pipeline can be up to two meters.

In addition, the water supply of the bath does not require a constant flow of water, i.e. In the pipeline, water will not always move.

And as you know, if the water moves, it has the least possibility of freezing in the winter.

And since in our case, we will deal with standing water, we need to consider a way of draining the water back into the well.

Hence, when water is supplied from the well to the bath, the trench must be dug with the counter-curl to the well.

Modern laying of the water pipe is made of polypropylene pipes, which are easy to build by own strength by purchasing pipes and apparatus for welding polypropylene pipes.

For forced water supply from the well to the bath room, a submersible pump, special pumping stations are mounted.

The submersible pump is acquired depending on the depth of the well. The submersible pump should lift water to the surface, through pipes, through the pump station, to transport it to the destination in the form of an electric heater or boiler.

Bath on site, water supply of the bath from the well

If there is no central water supply, and the aquifer is close to the surface, a well can be dug in the area.

If the well can be dug near the bath - it will be the best solution for the water supply of the bath.

To pump water from the well, submersible pumps are used, when you purchase the pump, you need to be guided by the height of the water supply and the length of the transportation section.

In the same way as when supplying water from a central water pipe or from a well, it is necessary to dig a trench for a pipeline with a countercrown in the direction of the well.

The trench with the pipeline must be below the depth of freezing of the ground.

Bath on the plot, sewerage in the bath with their own hands

To use the bath was fun, you need to think about sewage, i.e. to think over the way of water discharge.

In this case, it is necessary to take into account the depth of freezing of the soil, the ability of the soil to flow water, the number of sauna users.

We will assume that a few people will visit the bath and the sewerage of such a bath will be best drained.

For sewage, not far from the bath, dig a drainage well.

Depending on the depth of freezing, the well can rummage up to two meters of depth.

At the bottom of the well is laid a pillow of expanded clay, rubble or other materials that have drainage properties.

The drainage layer should be about 50 cm high.

A drain pipe from the bath is brought to the well, the pipe must be inclined towards the well, so that the pipes do not freeze, it is desirable to insulate them.

If there is sandy soil on the site, specialists instead of the well are advised to create a horizontal drainage cushion.

With this type of drainage, a trench 1 meter deep, a bayonet bayonet wide, 1 meter long, is digging.

At the bottom of the trench, a drainage layer is laid, 20 cm high, the drain pipe is removed from above and everything is covered with earth.
