Trends and new
technologies
Economical water
consumption. The demand for water
in a contemporary home is larger than it used to be - there are more receivers
that were not formerly available, as well as more bathrooms. Modern batteries, cisterns and shower
heads provide economical use of water without compromising the comfort of
users. Saving is also used, among
others installations enabling use
of rainwater and re-use of water supply (dual installations).
Better quality of
drinking water. It is ensured by
modern filtration and treatment systems for water drawn from own water intakes
and water supplies.
Hot water at a lower
price. We can choose solutions
that save energy needed to heat usable water - circulating pipes, modern
lagging.
Sewage - less dangerous. By consuming more water, we produce
more wastewater. Household sewage
treatment plants allow to manage them in an ecological way.
WATER WITH WATER SUPPLY
In houses built in areas
where there is a water supply network, there is no problem with access to
drinking water. Usually it is
even the obligation to connect to it. Connecting
the house to the water supply network is the fastest and most convenient way to
obtain water. To be able to draw
water from the network, it is necessary to build a connection. It requires several formalities -
including submitting an application
at the local waterworks for the issue of technical conditions for connection to
the grid and after receiving the terms - ordering the designer to develop the
water supply connection project. The
project requires an opinion in the Project Documentation Reconstruction Team
and arrangements at the waterworks. Then,
with the agreed project and the document confirming the legal title to the
property, you should report to the water supply plant the readiness to start
the investment. The connection is
commissioned to an experienced company, preferably one that works with a local
water supply company. If there is
such a need, the temporary occupation of the road lane should be agreed with
the local administrator. After
the representative of the waterworks has completed the commissioning of the
technical connection, the plant is assembled by the main water meter. The last step is signing a contract
for water supply and sewage disposal.
WATER FROM STUDIO
If it is not possible to
connect the house to the water supply network, the solution is to build a well. It requires checking that
environmental regulations do not limit its construction. It is also necessary to find a source
of water - it is worth using specialized methods for this purpose, for example
an electrofusion method in which the electrical resistance of underground
layers is measured. When planning
a place for a well, a safe distance from the cesspool (at least 15 m ),
a household sewage treatment plant (at least 30
m ), a livestock building (at
least 15 m ), the boundary of the adjacent plot
(at least 5 m ) and a roadside axisshould be
maintained. ditch (at least 7.5 m ). Wells
should not be located in places where rainwater and snowmelt flow. The type of well is selected depending
on the depth of the aquifer. If
it is located shallowly - a few meters underground - the vertebral well will be
sufficient. When the aquifer is 7-8 m
deep , narrow-gauge wells are
used. If the water table is
located at a depth of several to several dozen meters, deep wells (drilled) are
better.
After the well has been
installed, a pump must be installed, which with the right pressure will pump
water to the collection points in the house. In
the case of shallow wells, self-priming pumps are sufficient. When the water is at a depth of more
than 8 m , it will be necessary to install a
submersible pump. If the water is
to be drawn from a well, it is also necessary to use hydrophores (sets
consisting of a pump, air-water tank and relay), whose task is to stabilize the
water pressure in the installation and reduce the frequency of pump activation.
WATER INSTALATION
For water to be supplied
to all water intakes at home, a water installation is necessary. It is made of copper or plastic pipes.
Copper pipes. They are very stable and have
bacteriostatic properties - copper ions are lethal to bacteria and algae. The surface of the copper pipes is
smooth, thanks to which they place very little hydraulic resistance, and
sediments do not stop on their surface. Copper
water pipes are produced as hard, semi-hard and soft pipes. Hard used on long sections of the
installation. On shorter
sections, which often turn, softer tubes that can be easily shaped are better. This reduces the number of connections
and reduces the installation time. Copper
pipes should not be used for water with pH less than 8 and with a high content
of carbon dioxide.
Plastic pipes. They are cheaper than copper, easy to
assemble and do not corrode. Cold
water pipes are made of PE polyethylene, PB polybutylene, polypropylene PP
pipes or better-performing PE-X polyethylene pipes and multilayer
pipes.Polypropylene pipes with an aluminum or fiberglass insert are used for
installation with hot water.
SEWER INSTALLATION
The task of the internal
sewage system is to discharge sewage from sanitary facilities by means of
approaches (sections connecting sanitary fittings with risers) and drainage
risers to horizontal drainage ducts. Then
they are discharged to the sewerage network, septic tank or backyard sewage
treatment plant with the main drainage pipe. Sewage
installation works in a gravitational system. Approaches
from plumbing to plumbing are carried out as short as possible, with a slope of
2 to 15% (2-15 cm per meter of
pipe) towards the plumbing section. The
installation is usually made of plastic. In
order to dampen the noise, it is worth using noiseless sewerage, ie special
sewer pipes made of materials characterized by, among others, high surface weight. They allow you to reduce the noise
level by up to several decibels.

SUCCESSFUL SEWAGE
TREATMENT PLANTS
If it is not possible to
connect the house to the sewerage network, it is worth building a sewage
treatment plant instead of a cesspool. First
of all, it is an ecological investment - treated wastewater does not pollute
groundwater, so it can be drained to the ground or discharged, for example, to
a river, drainage ditch or pond. The
advantage of the sewage treatment plant is also a small cost of exploitation
compared with the septic tank, most of which require sludge to be removed every
two to three years.There are several types of treatment plants to choose from. Their common denominator is the
preliminary settling tank in which the sewage is pre-treated. Then they are subjected to further
purification, the course of which depends on the type of treatment plant. The most popular are sewage treatment
plants with a drainage drainage - a system of underground pipes through which
pre-treated sewage is drained to the ground, and thereafter subjected to
purification. Another type of
treatment plant are those with a biological deposit - a filtration material
enclosed in a natural tank. Wastewater
flowing through it is purified by microorganisms that form a biological
membrane. In sewage treatment
plant with activated sludge, wastewater is decomposed as a result of a
suspension consisting of microorganisms. The
treatment plant with a ground-root fi lter purifies wastewater by means of a fi
lter, which forms a properly treated soil overgrown with aquatic plants and /
or characteristic for wetlands.

RAINWATER TANKS DELFIN
RAIN help reduce water consumption in an average household up to 30%! Rainwater can be used for:
flushing the toilet
watering the garden
car wash
cleaning
washing clothes
DELFIN RAIN tanks can be
used regardless of ground and water conditions. They are gaining more and more
popularity not only because of rising water prices, but also because of greater
environmental awareness.
HOW IT'S WORKING?
Water from the gutter is
discharged through the pipe system directly to the inlet of the tank. Passing through gutter traps, it is
cleaned of leaves and other organic pollutants. Thanks to the filters at the tank top
and in the filter basket, it is subsequently stripped of organic and inorganic
contaminants (eg sand). The water
collected in the tank by means of a properly selected float or pressure pump is
delivered to a drawing point (eg a garden tap).
DELFIN RAIN - TANKS
TRUST
Delfin tanks are made of
high quality polyethylene by rotational molding, which guarantees 100%
tightness. In case the tank needs
to be placed deeply below the surface, additional attachments mounted on the
thread are used.
Available capacities:
3000 - 10,000m3 - 10 years warranty.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ASSEMBLY
· The installation of
the tank should be preceded by the determination of the level of groundwater,
which allows you to perform appropriate protection of the tank.
· The size of the
excavation depends on the size and shape of the tank.
· Sand and cement crust
should be made around the tank (at least 20
cm ).
· Do not mount the tank
under the passage due to the risk of deformation under the weight of vehicles.
· Keep the distance from
buildings, specified by the building regulations, to avoid asymmetric,
unilateral increase of load on the walls of the reservoir, transferred by the
foundations of these objects.
· Cover to the tank must
protrude above the ground surface and be available during maintenance.
· The tank should be
connected to a year-round receiver, ie storm water drainage or drainage ditch,
to allow the outflow of excess water.
