How to weld a metal water tank on your site

Most people living in apartment buildings have a very vague understanding of the problems and concerns of private home owners. For example, the independent process of manufacturing a water storage tank from steel can become a reason for an ironic smile from an apartment resident. Although in fact, the possibility of welding a steel water tank with your own hands is an interesting and relevant question for many.

So, which approach should you choose, weld the tank yourself or order a ready-to-use tank?

Of course, you have the opportunity to seek the help of professionals. Prepare a competent drawing of the structure for them, and the water tank will be made in accordance with your wishes. If you don’t want to spend time drawing up a drawing, you will most likely be offered several types of designs to choose from. This is all great, but you will have to pay accordingly for quality work. In this regard, many homeowners opt for the second option - making the tank themselves. It's not very easy, but the real savings and moral satisfaction are worth it.

Application options

Storage tanks are relevant in places where there are interruptions in water supply. Indoors, water tanks are most often installed in a horizontal position.

The tanks are used to store rainwater and tap water. With their help, you can organize an outdoor shower or keep them for fire safety purposes so that you can extinguish the fire.

They can store water for watering plants, gardens and vegetable gardens. Often round tanks are installed in a bathhouse to store water. There are many designs that can be round, rectangular or other shapes.

It is important to understand what the tank is for. If it is used inactively, the water in it promotes the growth of algae and microorganisms. Moreover, if the container is constantly located in an open area under the sun's rays.

Therefore, choosing the volume of the tank is one of the main tasks before starting its manufacture. Ferrous metal tanks must be primed and painted to prevent them from rusting.

The main condition for high-quality cleaning is filter media

The working container is selected so that all the necessary filling fits into it. A variety of components are used for absorption: artificial and natural. The latter have higher filtration capabilities. These include:

• sand from a river or quarry;
• gravel;
• zeolite;
• Activated carbon.

For initial rough cleaning, cotton fabric materials or even paper are usually used. According to hygienic requirements, they are very impractical: they are constantly in a humid environment, subject to rotting, and an unpleasant odor appears. The very structure of such filters contributes to almost instant contamination, which requires frequent replacement.

Septic tank maintenance

The procedure involves cleaning the containers. It is impossible to do this yourself; you will need to call a vacuum cleaner. Special biological additives will help increase the period between cleanings. They contribute to the decomposition of solid waste, and accordingly, their quantity decreases.

If a country house is used in the summer, then conservation of the treatment plant is required. There are certain recommendations on this matter:

• You should not remove the liquid from the container completely, so that in the spring the septic tank does not collapse due to soil movements;
• the residual liquid level should be 1/3 or 2/3;
• you need to prepare several bottles of sand, 2 liters each. By immersing it halfway in liquid, it will be possible to avoid icing of the walls;
• the lid must be insulated, but covering it with sand or soil is not recommended.

Making your own containers from tires

If you can’t purchase a water container for a small amount, but you don’t want to spend a lot of money, you can create the design yourself.

A storage tank can be made from scrap materials that are available on the farm or they can be borrowed free of charge from neighbors or friends.

For example, you can use old tires. It is advisable that these be tractor tires, since they have a larger diameter.

Initially, the location where the structure will subsequently be installed is determined. This space is leveled, after which they begin to create the main structure, following the step-by-step instructions:

• the upper inner part is cut off from the tire;
• the cut tire is laid out on the prepared place;
• prepare a solution by combining sand and cement in a 3:1 ratio, adding water until the mixture has the consistency of thick sour cream;
• the solution is poured onto the bottom of the tire, leveling the surface;
• the tire with the solution is covered with polyethylene and left for a week (polyethylene performs protective functions, preventing the negative effects of rain);
• After a week, the film is removed and the volume is filled with water.

Advantages and disadvantages of the material

This material has advantages due to which it has gained the greatest popularity in the construction of swimming pools:

1. Polypropylene is easy to process. This feature allows you to create bowls of different shapes, which means you can implement any design solutions according to your own drawings and diagrams. The pleasant shade and structure of the material blend harmoniously into the surrounding landscape.
2. When welding the joints of polypropylene parts, a reliable waterproofing layer is provided, which does not require additional processing and sealing.
3. When installing pool equipment (lighting, filter devices, hydromassages and nozzles), there is no need to make sealing layers, since these devices are installed directly into polypropylene.
4. Pools made of this material do not require external finishing. Polypropylene is waterproof and has a smooth surface, giving it a ready-to-use appearance.
5. A structure made of this material, placed in a prepared pit, does not require the installation of a retaining frame or formwork. To do this, it is enough to strengthen the sides of the pool bowl with a concrete mixture.

A polypropylene pool can be used without finishing

Polypropylene is safe for children

Polypropylene, being a very convenient material both in processing and in operation, still has some disadvantages:

1. The material is susceptible to ultraviolet radiation, which can cause the color of the coating to fade.
2. Welding seams requires special equipment and some skills in working with polypropylene.

Beware of lead!

But if the roof or drainage system contains elements of lead and heavy metals, it is not recommended to collect such water.

Delivery of water through such pipes also significantly reduces water quality. It is strictly not recommended to use water from a roof covered with asbestos slate! This material contains asbestos fibers, which can cause serious illness.

Water collected from a roof made of galvanized iron, metal tiles, flowing through drains made of tin or polyvinyl chloride is quite usable.

Manufacturing materials

The shower tank can be metal made of galvanized sheet steel, stainless steel or carbon (black) iron and plastic. In order to consciously choose the best options, you should familiarize yourself with the real comparative table of manufacturing materials.

Plastic tanks for summer showers

Experienced practitioners advise making a shower tank from used plastic or metal containers. Such containers are easy to find, and in most cases you won’t have to pay anything.

Metal water tanks

For one washable one, up to 40 liters is enough; depending on the number of family members, you can calculate the optimal sizes. For information, it is worth saying that when manufacturing shower tanks, industrial companies base it on a calculation of approximately 20 liters per person; 40 liters allows you not only to take a shower, but also to fully wash yourself without the need to save water.

How to choose a tank for a summer shower

Recommendations from the experts

We've collected some tips from professional welders. They will be useful for beginners and garden craftsmen.

It is better to use stainless steel grade 8-12Х18Н10 or AISI 430 08Х17 as a material. These brands are best suited for storing water, including long-term storage. However, it is still better to drain the water before winter.

Before welding a stainless steel water tank, you need to decide on its volume and make a drawing based on this. For a bathhouse, a tank of up to 60 liters will be enough for two or three people. On average, about 20-30 liters of water are needed per person.

If you are cooking a tank for household needs, it is better to stock up on a volume of 100 liters or more. 200 liters is just right for watering gardens and collecting rainwater.

As for the wall thickness, it is better to use sheets no thicker than 2 mm. In factories, tanks are made of metal 1 mm thick, but at home it is more difficult to weld such thin metal well. The wall thickness does not depend on the shape and size of the tank.

It is better to abandon the idea of ​​welding a water tank from aluminum. It is not easy to make high-quality sealed seams at home. Stainless steel is also not easy to cook, but this task is quite doable. But to work with aluminum you will need experience and a good welding machine.

Depending on the size of the tank and your experience, the entire process can take anywhere from a couple of hours to several days. If you have never cooked before, it is better to practice on unnecessary pieces of metal. After all, stainless steel is far from a cheap material. And you are unlikely to be happy if, out of ignorance, you weld a tank with defective seams, and it turns out to be unusable.

Welding stages

At the initial stage of welding, boards must be placed under the corners of the sheet, which will serve as the bottom. It is important that the thickness of the substrate is the same. This will give an even plane along the entire length and in the corners of the structure.

During the welding process, it is necessary to constantly check that the sides do not extend beyond the base. You can immediately grab all sides together, then weld them to the base.

The sheets should fit tightly to each other. The next stage is the final welding of the seams. Welding can be done inside the tank or outside.

There should be no lack of penetration. Self-welding takes about 7-8 working hours.

It is recommended to make the structure rigid. To do this, use squares inside the tank and on the outside. To drain the water, a pipe with a control valve is welded into the lower part.

You definitely need to put aside your laziness and check the structure for leaks . After completing the work, you should prepare a chalk solution and apply it to the seams from the inside.

When it dries, use a cloth soaked in kerosene to go along the seams of the tank from the outside. Purpose: identifying “lack of penetration” clogged with slag. It only takes a few minutes to control.

If the liquid does not appear, then everything is fine. If stains appear, the problem area should be boiled again. It is best to check and re-weld immediately before painting.

Installation can be done on pre-laid bricks, but it is better to use a stand. Next, fill the tank with water and observe for several days: no liquid appears on the walls of the structure.

Useful tips

And some recommendations from experts:

• Before purchasing pumping equipment, it is necessary to carry out calculations for consumers. That is, calculate the optimal ratio of pump performance and total consumer consumption.
• A preliminary piping scheme is developed, which takes into account all consumers, regardless of their seasonal or off-season use.
• It is necessary to correctly connect the pump to the power supply network. There are many nuances here, so a professional electrician is involved in this matter.
• The owner of the dacha must first decide whether to buy all materials and equipment separately or purchase a ready-made pumping station. It cannot be said that one of the proposed options is better than the other. Therefore, it is better to consult with specialists who will study the features of the dacha and the source of water intake.

Principle of operation

Any plastic container functions simply. Waste accumulates in it and gradually settles. In the sludge that has settled to the bottom, natural decay processes begin - anaerobic bacteria begin to work. As a result, a characteristic smell appears near the sewer drain - this is one of the obvious disadvantages of such a system.

As the tank fills, the liquid and bottom sludge are pumped out using sewage disposal equipment. To save on calling specialists, you can install a structure with several sections that allow the water to settle several times and be purified as much as possible. From the last container, the liquid flows by gravity to the filtration field or into a filter well with a reliable natural filter at the bottom (sand, crushed stone, peat, etc.).

Filtration into the ground is prohibited if the wastewater contains harmful chemical impurities or fecal matter. The entry of hazardous substances into the soil can cause infectious diseases or poisoning among residents of the house.

Urban rooftop farm on an industrial scale

A few years ago, the idea of ​​a large-scale commercial urban farming operation that could provide locally produced food seemed impossible. Increasingly, urban farms or “rooftop farms” have appeared on the roofs of high-rise buildings, municipal buildings or just small residential buildings, helping people get the fresh fruits and vegetables they need and pleasant coolness during the hot season.

This business development model seemed very attractive to the agricultural company Lufa Farms and now it is opening its second, largest to date, urban farm north of Laval, Canada.

The farm is located on the roof of a building that houses a furniture store and other commercial tenants, and occupies 4,000 square meters.

Correct operation

Homemade septic tanks require regular inspection and maintenance just as much as industrial models of treatment plants.

Repair work may be necessary if the drain is clogged. Overflow and sewer pipes will need to be cleaned. For such work it is better to hire a professional plumber. To avoid problems with clogging, it is necessary to periodically add biological preparations containing special cultures of bacteria to the storage container, which are capable of breaking down fat plugs and deposits.

Maintenance includes:

• Regular pumping out of the contents of the container. The frequency depends on the intensity of use of the sewer system and the volume of septic tanks. Usually this is from one to three pumpings per year using special equipment.
• Insulation of the lid during the cold season, which speeds up the processes of decay and wastewater treatment.
• And, of course, you must follow the simplest rules - do not dump large mechanical waste and hygiene items into the sewer.

How a homemade sewer sump works

All waste flows into the sewer lines, and from there into the reservoir, the so-called pit. In this barrel, the wastewater is “filtered” and most of the pollutants are deposited. Through a connecting pipe, wastewater from the first tank enters the second tank. The process of filling sections occurs in a strictly regulated order, which is achieved by placing containers on a ladder at different levels.

The outlet and inlet are positioned so that water enters the next tank before its level rises to the inlet pipe. Gradually, the heaviest dirt particles fall to the bottom, while small and light ones continue to move through the structure. To ensure that waste flows freely through the sewer lines, a homemade septic tank made from barrels is made with a slope.

In addition to mechanical cleaning, the process also involves colonies of microorganisms that form in containers after 2-5 weeks and process organic contaminants.

After processing in the second chamber, wastewater is sent to a storage facility or drainage system. In the first case, the accumulated water is drained after some time. If a drainage well is used, the liquid is discharged into the ground. In the settling tank, discharges are purified by 65-80%. If a higher level of purification is needed, use a third barrel. The more departments the discharges pass through, the higher the degree of purification becomes. For a summer cottage, a double level is sufficient.

Methane generated during wastewater treatment is removed using ventilation. It is placed vertically at the sewer exit from the house or near the last section of autonomous equipment. To get rid of unpleasant odors, a siphon can be installed in the shape of a “knee”.

Wood construction

To create a wooden tank prepare:

• wooden beam;
• bricks;
• polyethylene film;
• boards;
• geotextile insulation;
• self-tapping screws

As soon as all materials are available, you can begin constructing a wooden structure according to this plan:

• first level the site;
• bricks are laid around the perimeter of the site;
• timber is laid on the bricks;
• the wood is attached to the frame with self-tapping screws;
• OSB boards are laid on top of the prepared structure and secured with self-tapping screws;
• a frame is created from the boards, securing them to the sides of the prepared wooden base;
• OSB sheets are screwed to the installed side boards;
• the interior of the wooden structure is covered with geotictile;
• lay the film on top (its size should be such that it extends beyond the edges of the wooden box);
• two boards are nailed crosswise from the top of the container to provide additional stability to the structure;
• if the tank has a large volume, wooden spacers are secured to the outside of the structure.

Plastic containers

Plastic containers and barrels are increasingly popular because:

• their cost is much less than that of their stainless steel counterparts;
• plastic barrels can be purchased in various sizes;
• their designs do not require additional tightness;
• they do not rust;
• barrels do not require priming or painting the surface;
• The plastic case has a high level of resistance to temperature changes.

Containers can be made of plastic. Food grade plastic has additional benefits:

• high level of strength;
• high frost resistance;
• high level of reflection of ultraviolet rays.

Thanks to these features, the water in such containers does not spoil for a long time.

Most food-grade plastic barrels are equipped with holes the diameter of which allows taps to be installed in them.

Plastic barrels can be vertical or horizontal. Also very popular are Eurocubes, which are placed in a metal frame for additional strength and stability.

Film pond

Some summer residents are eager to learn how to make a small pond on their summer cottage using film.

The process of creating such a pond is also simple and is quite accessible to anyone. Subsequently, such a pond can be decorated, turning it from a banal water storage tank into an interesting landscape element.

Before you start creating a pond from film, you can watch a video that shows step-by-step actions.

You can also study the step-by-step instructions and subsequently follow them:

• first dig a suitable hole (shape and depth may vary);
• the bottom is covered with crushed stone, compacted, covered with sand and compacted again;
• then geotextiles are laid on the bottom;
• It is recommended to keep the film purchased in the retail chain for 2 hours in direct sunlight;
• the film is laid out along the bottom of a dug pit (if it is not possible to purchase a single piece, individual parts of the film are glued together using special glue);
• the film covers not only the bottom of the pit, but also its side parts;

• the pond is filled with water to at least a third;
• after three hours, add water so that the total amount does not exceed two-thirds;
• after another three hours, add water, filling the prepared container completely;
• the ends of the film are cut off;
• the outer boundaries of the pond along its perimeter are decorated.

In this article, we looked at only the most affordable ways to make a water container with your own hands in the country. They are not the only possible ways to conserve water. For example, a concrete container will be much stronger and more durable, but it is difficult to manufacture and entails additional costs. You will also need skills in preparing and using concrete mortar.

Construction of an eco-mosque in Turkey

Details Created on 02/08/2013 09:34
Written by Natali

Surrounded by mountains, Turkey's fourth largest city, Bursa is already one of the country's greenest metropolises and is set to become even greener.

An eco-mosque is planned to be built in the western part of the city, where it will produce 120 kW of electricity from solar and wind energy. The building will consume 50kW, selling the rest to the national grid. Construction is scheduled to be completed in 2015.

Turkey already has one eco-mosque that generates and uses solar energy. The mosque is located in a village in Akkuyu province.

But the Bursa mosque will be the first mosque designed to produce and consume renewable energy.

Choosing a location for installation

Almost always, the location of the storage tank depends on the purpose of use.

So clean water needs to be stored in good quality tanks installed directly near the house. This water can be used as drinking water, for washing and washing dishes, etc. Containers can be filled in several ways - from a water supply, a standpipe, a well, etc.

It is more rational to install containers for watering the garden directly on its territory. They can be used as a backup irrigation system or as part of a drip irrigation system.

Tanks for storing rainwater have a narrow direction, so they are installed near the drainpipe. The material from which they are made does not necessarily have to be of high quality. The accumulated water can be used for various purposes - for watering the garden and ornamental plants, washing, washing the car, etc.

general information

Why are water containers made of metal or any other material needed? The answer to this question is obvious, but for some it remains open. The fact is that everyone uses storage tanks differently. Their purpose is to collect and store water for later use. How and in what form you will do this is up to you to decide.

The tank can have different shapes, depending on its purpose. A regular rectangular large tank can be used to collect rainwater. For a summer shower, you can use a flat, low tank that can be easily mounted on top of a metal frame. It all depends on the purpose of use.

Often, ordinary metal barrels are used as such a storage tank. This is a practical and inexpensive option, but not always convenient. Especially because of its open top, through which insects enter the water, and plants and rust form on the walls of the tank. It can also be used to collect rainwater only if you have drains and it is possible to lead the pipe directly to the barrel.

In order not to have to worry about barrels, craftsmen make homemade metal tanks. They have a simple design and low cost. Below you can see one of the possible drawings of a storage tank. This container is small in size, but quite spacious and holds up to 200 liters of water.

Review and details

Metal containers

Structures made of metal are often used to store masses of water. To create them, different metals are used depending on the purpose for which water collection is planned. If it is important to keep drinking water in reserve, high-quality stainless steel is selected for the manufacture of a metal tank. Even from this capacity, new demands are put forward:

• Cutting into the plumbing edge.
• Installation of a protective mesh on the hole.
• It is necessary to have a ventilated hole that will be tightly closed with a lid.

This design allows you to maintain the quality of drinking water. Twice a year, such a tank must be cleaned, and it can be used with disinfectants. To facilitate the process of washing a metal barrel, a hatch of sufficient diameter is installed on the side. Such a hatch will be equipped with seals in order to ensure a normal degree of tightness. Owners of dacha-type plots are still striving to purchase or even make metal tanks in order to store water, which they plan to use in the future for technical needs:

• Solutions to household problems.
• Collecting water from rain.
• Watering the garden.

In such cases, I take any metals as a basis. By the way, most summer residents install metal barrels specifically to collect water after rain. This solution will significantly save on water consumption. There is also an excellent opportunity to buy any barrels, even those that were previously used. It is important that toxic chemicals are not stored in them until such time.

Plastic containers

Plastic containers, as well as barrels, are increasingly popular because:

• Their price is much lower than that of their stainless counterparts.
• Plastic barrels can be purchased in different sizes.
• The structure will not require additional sealing.
• They are not subject to rust.
• The barrels will not require priming or painting the surface.
• Plastic cases have an excellent level of resistance to extreme temperatures.

Do-it-yourself water containers can be made of plastic, and food-grade plastic will have additional advantages:

• High level of frost resistance.
• High level of strength.
• High level of reflection of ultraviolet rays.

Due to these features, the water in such containers does not spoil for a long time. Most food-grade plastic barrels will have holes, and their diameter makes it possible to install taps in them. Plastic barrels can be horizontal or vertical. Eurocubes, which are placed in a metal type sheathing for an additional degree of strength and stability, are even more popular.

How to make containers from tires with your own hands

If you can’t buy water containers for a small amount, but you don’t want to spend a lot of money, you can make the design yourself. The storage tank can be made from scrap materials that are available on the farm or they can be borrowed free of charge from friends/neighbors. For example, you can even use old tires. It is advisable that these be tractor tires, as they have a huge diameter. Initially, you should determine the place where the structure will be installed in the future. This space should be leveled, and after that you can begin to create the main structure, following the step-by-step instructions:

• The top part of the inner type needs to be cut off from the tire.
• The cut tire should be placed on the prepared area.
• Prepare a solution by combining cement and sand in a ratio of 1 to 3, adding water until the mixture has a creamy consistency.
• The solution should be poured onto the bottom of the tire; it is important to level the surface.
• Cover the tire with the solution using polyethylene and leave it for a week (polyethylene will perform protective functions and will also prevent the aggressive effects of rain).
• After a week, the film should be removed and the volume filled with water.

Making such a reservoir is not difficult, but here you should remember the fact that water from such a container can only be used for technical purposes. A great advantage of such a container is that the accumulated mass of water in it will quickly heat up.

Wooden structures

To make a wooden tank, you should prepare the following:

• Self-tapping screws.
• Geotextile type of insulation.
• Boards.
• Polyethylene film.
• Bricks.
• Wood beam.

As soon as all materials have been prepared and delivered to the site, you can begin constructing a wooden structure according to this plan:

1. First you need to level the site.
2. Bricks should be laid along the entire perimeter of the site.
3. Beams should be laid on top of the bricks.
4. The wood must be attached to the frame using self-tapping screws.
5. OSB boards should be laid on top of the structure, which has been prepared in advance, and secured (also with self-tapping screws).
6. Make a frame from the boards, secure it to the sides of a pre-made wooden base.
7. OSB sheets should be screwed to the side boards that are already installed.
8. The interior of the wood structure is covered with geotikstyle.
9. Place the film on top (its size should be such that it goes beyond the edges of the wooden box).
10. It is important to nail two boards crosswise on the top of the container to provide an additional degree of structural stability.
11. If the tank is of large volume, it is necessary to secure wood spacers on the outside of the structure.

Water should be poured into a pre-prepared tank. The pressure should not be large to allow the polyethylene film to be smoothly leveled under water pressure and pressure.

Film pond

How to make a water container with your own hands? Some summer residents are trying to learn how to make a small private pond on their summer cottage using film. The process of making such a pond is also simple, and also quite accessible to everyone. Subsequently, this pond can be decorated and turned from a very ordinary water storage tank into a non-standard landscape element. Before you start creating a pond from film, you can watch a video that shows all the step-by-step actions. You can also study the step-by-step instructions and follow them in the future:

1. First you need to dig a suitable hole (the depth and shape may vary).
2. The bottom should be covered with crushed stone, compacted, and also covered with sand and compacted again.
3. Next, you need to lay geotextiles on the bottom.
4. It is recommended to keep the film purchased from the retail chain for 2 hours in direct sunlight.
5. The film should be placed on the bottom of a dug pit (if you are unable to buy a whole piece, and the individual film parts should be glued together using a specialized adhesive composition).
6. It is important to cover not just the bottom of the pit with film, but also the side parts.
7. It is important to fill the pond with water at least 30%.
8. After three hours, water should be added so that the total amount does not exceed 60%.
9. After another three hours, it is important to add water, filling the prepared container completely.
10. It is important to trim the film ends.
11. Decorate the outer boundaries of the pond around the entire perimeter.

So, we have already looked at all the most accessible methods of making a water container with your own hands in the country. They will not be the only possible method of storing water. For example, a container made of concrete will be much stronger and more durable, but it is difficult to manufacture and will entail additional costs. You will also need skills in preparing and using concrete mortar.

Plumbing diagram

And a few words about how to properly organize an autonomous water supply network at your dacha. First of all, the issue of the source of water supply is resolved. After which the pump is selected according to its installation type. That is, these two criteria are inextricably linked. And the second comes out of the first.

And now about the layout. If submersible or borehole models of pumping equipment are used in the water supply system, then surveying the location of the devices will not be necessary. As for surface aggregates, there are two options:

Layout of a surface pump in the basement of a house Source moikolodets.ru

Sometimes a special room is allocated for a surface pump, which is built on the street next to the cottage. It must be insulated.

As for the pipework, these are plastic pipes that are laid at a shallow depth, but must be insulated. Fortunately, you can find special thermal insulation materials for pipes on the market

Particular attention is paid to laying pipes inside the house. Typically, such a passage is planned at the stage of forming a country house project

Because the shorter the distance from the source of water intake to the cottage, the better: less material consumption, the pressure and productivity of the water supply does not decrease. Usually the installation inside the house is carried out either through the foundation of the building or through the wall.
