A smart home begins not at all with a solid foundation or a luxurious interior of an apartment, but with a source of clean and high-quality water. The best option for an autonomous water intake point is a deep-water well of an artesian aquifer. When equipping a well, many developers are faced with the problem of borehole casing. A well can be cased with completely different pipes: plastic, cast iron, seamless steel pipes , etc. Unscrupulous drillers use this very moment, operating with the cheapest materials to bribe interest of developers at a low price.
Steel pipes - classics
If the developer expects to receive a well not for 5-7 years, but at least for 30-40 years, then it is impossible to apply “budgetary” solutions when arranging a well. It is clear that a 50-250 m borehole is not cheap by itself, and here you also need to casing the adit with rolled metal, but you will not be able to save money on a competent well.
The best casing solution is a well-alloyed stainless pipe bore. But, taking into account the length of the drilling channel, since five tens or even several hundred running meters of rolled metal can cost a pretty penny, it is most advisable to take low-alloy rolled products of at least 10G2 grade.
1. If you use plastic or the same metal, but of poor quality (cast iron, ordinary carbon steel), then the developer should be ready to equip a new well in 10 years. The miser pays twice.
2. Alloy steel will protect pipes from limescale build-up and relentless corrosion, which will spoil pipes day after day and reduce the quality of artesian water to a minimum.
3. Another advantage of quality pipes is the ability to work in a very wide range of pressures. If the same plastic can withstand within 2 atmospheres, then good steel pipes will provide the ability to pump the working medium up to 6-10 atmospheres. If the developer is preparing a cozy house for a large family, then in this case, you will certainly need a powerful pump that works with high pressure.
4. Wells cased with alloyed rolled metal can be preserved for an unlimited period, even for 100 years.
Only by working with quality materials, drillers can guarantee reliable and trouble-free robots of the water intake point for many decades.
