How to make a do-it-yourself filter for a well ^Favorite

What is a filter? This is a pipe that consists of several sections. It includes a short superfilter section with which the filter is attached to the pipe, the filter itself and the sump.
The design of the filter may be different, but the principle of operation for all types is not different. The difference can only be in the number and size of holes, as well as their configuration.

The most common hole filter, which consists of a pipe with drilled holes. The pipe is usually made of steel, as the most durable material, but today plastic pipes are also increasingly used, they are more durable.
Slit filters are also often used. With self-production, they usually use a lagoon. Such a filter also represents a pipe, only with slits cut through.

The most reliable in terms of cleaning mesh filters with cells of a very different configuration, from complex, galloon to multi-layer keeper. Such a filter can trap even the smallest particles. Often, instead of a mesh, a wire with small gaps is wound around a hole filter; this is a cheaper option, which is easy to make yourself.

If a well is drilled on sandy soil, gravel filters are often made. In this case, a special tool or additional equipment will not be needed at all. It is simply necessary to make a well of a slightly larger diameter and then sprinkle the trunk with a five-centimeter layer of gravel around the circumference.

Before manufacturing the filter, it is necessary to measure the depth of the well. Based on this, the length of the sump is determined. Thus, having determined the required filter length, holes are staggered along the entire length. Clog the end of the pipe with a wooden plug.

The distances between the holes make an average of 1.5 centimeters, they should occupy about a quarter of the filter area. Of course, you will have to tinker with the holes. It is much easier to make a slotted filter by simply cutting it with a grinder every 2 centimeters.
Then, on the filter, make a wire frame by wrapping it in increments of 3 centimeters. After that, wrap the grid on the frame, you can plastic or metal, the main thing is that it has small cells. The plastic mesh is glued with a special moisture-resistant adhesive, just make sure that it is not toxic. Steel is welded.

After some time, the filter will have to be changed or repaired, so access to it should be free.
