Dear home improvement enthusiasts, I am Jiajia, Dangdang, today's topic is a big project: the construction of household reservoirs!Next, let's take a step-by-step look at how to make your dream of storing water in your home come true!
First of all, it is necessary to find out what is the purpose of building a cisternIs it to collect rainwater?Or is it used as irrigation water?Or emergency or domestic reserve water?This purpose determines the size, material, location, and so on of the cistern you will be building.
Okay, let's say we're going to build a fully functional home cistern, and the steps are pretty much like this:
1.Design planning: First of all, we need to determine the capacity, location and size of the reservoir. Proper design can reduce future troubles. Professional engineers or architects can be hired to help design the reservoir to ensure that the reservoir is structurally safe and practical.
2.Site selection considerations: The location needs to ensure that it is easy to divert water and drainage, and will not affect the existing building and soil structure. At the same time, be sure to stay away from any possible contamination**.
3.Excavating the land: This work is best left to a professional excavation contractor. The depth and width depend on the water retention and design.
4.Lining isolation: choose the right material to make the inner lining of the reservoir according to your own needs, such as concrete, PVC film, HDPE (high-density polyethylene), etc. This is to ensure the cleanliness of the water and the sealing of the pool walls.
5.Water pipe access: When connecting rainwater pipes or other water source pipes, you need to consider the filtration system to avoid contamination and blockage.
6.Cover and protect: The cistern can be covered with a special cover to prevent algae growth, contamination and evaporation. At the same time, for safety reasons, children and pets should not accidentally fall into the water.
7.Safety and maintenance: Ensure that the pool structure is stable and the protective measures are in place. Regularly inspect the water quality, as well as any cracks or leaks in the pool.
8.Building Permits: Don't Forget the Most Important Step!Before starting construction, be sure to apply for a building permit from your local building authority to ensure that everything is in compliance with local codes and regulations.
Let me tell you, this may sound a little complicated, but as long as you find the right professional team, everything is not a problem Jiajia is here to remind you, safety first!Don't do it yourself in order to save a few small bucks, safety is priceless!
