Water supply and sewerage for a country house

In order to live in the country as a human being, you need, in principle, not so much - light, running water, a decent toilet and sewerage.

There are not too many problems with light - even if there is no centralized electrification of a summer cottage, it is quite possible to purchase a portable gasoline generator and enjoy all the benefits of civilization that electricity provides.

There are no problems with the toilet either - those who are accustomed to urban amenities may well purchase a modern dry closet.

As for the water supply and sewerage ... You can’t buy them in the store, but somehow you don’t want to “decorate” the country kitchen with a hanging washstand and a garbage can.

I want to share my experience of creating a comfortable kitchen in the country with the simplest water supply and sewerage.

To begin with, I installed a regular cabinet with a sink in the kitchen. I fixed a washstand above the sink, and put a bucket for dirty water in the cabinet. From the outside, everything looked beautiful, but at least twice a day I had to take out a bucket filled with God knows what and look for a place to pour it. In short, I had to think about the simplest sewage.

Having studied the relevant literature, I realized that it was necessary to build something like an irrigation field. First of all, for this I purchased a corrugated plastic sleeve - such flexible pipes of various diameters are used for laying electrical wiring. The sleeve was selected with such a diameter that it can be easily docked with the outlet of the sink.

The device of a sewer trench in a summer cottage: 1,2 - casing of the outlet of the plastic sleeve; 3 - corrugated plastic sleeve; 4 - soil; 5 - gravel; 6 - nylon mesh

Having cut a hole in the floor under the sleeve, let it through into the underground space, and, leading it out, further along the groove dug "on the bayonet" of the shovel, led it to the fence. Along the fence, I dug a trench deeper - about 0,5 m. the location of the trench has a slight natural slope, so there were no problems with the flow of water through the sewer pipe subsequently.

Having covered the bottom of the trench with a 10-cm layer of gravel, he laid a part of the plastic sleeve on it, having previously pierced many holes in it with a 4-mm nail embedded in a wooden handle. Then he covered this part of the pipe with a nylon mesh (this is used as a window to protect the home from mosquitoes) and poured gravel into the trench to about half its depth. Finally, the trench was filled with soil.

The end of the sleeve was left on the surface, and the outlet was plugged with a cork and closed with a casing made of a plastic basin and bucket (if necessary, the pipe can be washed or cleaned through this hole).

That, in fact, is all. With a standard daily water consumption of one or two buckets, the sewer trench easily absorbs it. I purchased a strainer for washing - otherwise, kitchen debris will quickly clog the drain and the pipe will have to be cleaned too often.

After the "disappearance" of a bucket of dirty water from the cabinet under the sink, the washstand on the wall began to look like an anachronism. Since centralized water supply is not yet foreseen in our holiday village and water has to be carried from a well, we also had to think about how to build a semblance of a water supply system.

Country water supply: 1 - water canister; 2 - canister stopper; 3 - short fitting; 4 - long fitting; 5 - pump; 6 - hose for air supply; 7 - water hose; 8 - sink; 9 - crane

In the cabinet under the sink, I installed a plastic 10-liter canister (with which we went to the well for water), cut two steel fittings into its cork, as shown in the figure, connecting one of them with a rubber hose to the tap on the sink, and the other - with a foot pump, which is used to inflate rubber boats or mattresses. A few strokes - and water begins to flow from the tap. Now our country kitchenette is as comfortable as the city one!

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Plextor M7e SSD 13.01.2015

At the Consumer Electronics Show 2015, Plextor showcased the all-new M7e SSD, which uses the M.2 form factor and PCI Express 2.0 x4 interface, delivering a major performance improvement over the current generation M6e SSD.

While Plextor SSDs are renowned for their reliability and high read/write speeds even after extended use, last year's Plextor M6e is by no means a performance champion. The reason for this was the use of the PCI Express 2.0 x2 interface, which has a maximum bandwidth of about 1 GB / s. However, its successor, the Plextor M7e, will use a PCIe 2.0 x4 interface with up to 2 GB/s bandwidth, which means it will raise the bar.

The Plextor M7e SSD is based on the Marvell 88SS9293 controller and Toshiba's 19nm Multi-Level (MLC) NAND flash memory. In addition, the Plextor M7e will be equipped with power failure protection technology, further enhancing the manufacturer's already legendary SSD reliability.

While Plextor is still working on firmware for the M7e, the latest SSD is already showing significantly better performance than its predecessor. According to CrystalMark, the sequential read speed of the novelty is 1.4 GB / s, and the write speed is about 1 GB / s. Thus, the new Plextor M7e outperforms the Samsung XP941, which is used by many expensive laptops, such as the Apple MacBook Pro.

Plextor plans to release the M7e drive in M.2 form factor with PCIe 2.0 x4 interface. To ensure compatibility with current platforms, Plextor will ship with the new SSD and a special adapter, a small HHHL size card that plugs into a PCI Express 2.0 x4 (x8, x16, etc.) slot. Plextor did the same with the M6e, which can be used in both an M.2 slot and a PCI Express slot.

Plextor is expected to release the M7e SSDs in 256GB, 512GB and 1TB capacities in the second quarter of 2015. Considering the high read and write speeds, as well as a range of Plextor's proprietary technologies, M7e devices could become quite popular SSDs this year. The cost of new products is unknown, but taking into account the simplicity of the design of these drives, I would like to believe that their prices will not be excessively high.

The appearance on the market of the very similar Kingston HyperX Predator PCIe and Plextor M7e will inevitably intensify competition among PCI Express 2.0 x4 SSDs, as well as high-performance drives in the M.2 form factor. As a result, the availability of new SSDs may become higher.

While SSDs based on the Marvell 88SS9293 controller, which supports four PCIe 2.0 lanes, introduced at the beginning of the year, seriously raise the performance bar for mainstream SSDs, such devices may not stay on their pedestal for long.

Given the fact that back in August last year, Marvell introduced the 88SS1093 controller, which supports four PCI Express 3.0 lanes (maximum bandwidth of about 4 GB / s) and can provide even higher write and read speeds, by the middle of the year it is logical to expect more faster M.2 SSDs with PCIe 3.0 x4 interface.
