Do-it-yourself cleaning of rusty, glandular water is a simple but EFFECTIVE device

RUSTY WATER AND ITS CLEANING IN THE COTTAGE - HOME SYSTEM OWN HANDS
Well, here I am, finally, going to write an article in the magazine, which I have been reading for more than two years. I really like him, especially attracted by the way letters are made and prepared.
And what is the sin to conceal, first of all I always look in every issue of the article, which in one way or another are related to the technical part, where the summer residents share their economic operating time. One of those and I want to share.
I think the first thing that comes to everyone's mind when buying a plot or a house is water availability. Where to get it, everyone decides in his own way. It can be a central water supply system (working constantly or periodically), a well (either its own or public) or, as in my case, a well.
And now I will say a somewhat seditious, at first glance, thought: by and large, any summer resident should first of all care about the question, not how the water comes to him in the house, but what quality it is.
Indeed, unfortunately, it can often be used only for technical purposes, and not for drinking. And if there are no other sources nearby, then there is only one way out: water must be cleaned up. In our area it is ferruginous, but simply speaking - rusty. That is, it must be eliminated from iron impurities.
And the well does not solve anything here. At me, for example, it is depth 35 m, the pump is lowered to 27 m. The water that it raises, at first sight clean, but it is necessary to pour it into the barrel, as it starts to emit an unpleasant smell. And after a while it becomes turbid, and the walls of the barrel are covered with a rusty coating. This water, even for irrigation, I do not want to use.
I must say that such a “rusty” effect is a common phenomenon in all regions. Moreover, if in your city iron water comes from the tap, then most of this is not due to wear on the pipes, but because of the poor operation of the treatment facilities.

It's all in the bubbles
Well, what about it? You can not live without clean water. Yes, and it is unpleasant: you spent on a well or a well, and you swing from them it is not clear what. The stores offer technical solutions, but they are quite expensive. And now, attention, the most interesting! The principle of operation of even the most advanced of these devices is based on one important property: the iron contained in the water can be isolated only by passing air through it. After that, the iron is oxidized, and it only remains to collect. That's the whole secret.
At urban wastewater treatment plants, where they work with gigantic volumes of water, a similar process is built on the principle of overflow. Water first rises through a pipe that is in the center of a huge vessel, and, pouring over its edges, gets inside the vessel itself, on the walls of which the iron settles after the oxidation reaction. And the water is then filtered and fed to the city water main.
Similarly, my home system is built, but it is much simpler and does not require large and expensive installations. The water rises from the well and is collected in a plastic barrel.
The pipe through which it is fed is at a small height above the barrel itself (photo 1). Thus, water falls under a small pressure, which is enough to form in the depths and on the surface of air bubbles (photo 2).
It is a "Boiling" is the basis of the very process of separation of iron, which settles on the walls and bottom of the barrel. That is why, by the way, it is only necessary to use it plastic - it is easier to wash from glandular deposits.
After that, I pump out the water freed from iron by the pumping station (photo 3), the inlet pipe of which is not lowered into the barrel to its full depth - this is an additional trick that allows as much rust as possible to settle on the bottom of the barrel. But even despite all these tricks, some of the glandular impurities still remain in the water - which is why I pass it through two carbon filters installed immediately behind the pump station (photo 4). The first is for rough cleaning (it actually collects rust, and I change it about once every three months). After it, the water is already really clean. But for safety reasons, as well as for fine purification of water from other impurities, I have a second filter installed, which I service every six months. Thus, crystal clear water enters the house. We live in the house year-round, and the daily consumption of a family of four on a working day with us is about 400 liters.
So, to summarize, I like working on the ground, I like to do something in the house with my own hands, I like to build and make things up.
