Slavyanovsky pump room in the city of Zheleznovodsk is located on the eastern side of the Iron Mountains in the middle of the spa park. Within walking distance from the source of drinking water is known Pushkin Gallery.
Water from the pump room has been named in honor of its discoverer - engineer hydrogeologist NN Slavyanov, who was involved in the development and research base of mineral water in Zheleznovodsk, ranging from 1912 to 1955. Studying the geology of Mount Iron, hydrogeologist engineer came to the conclusion that it is necessary to bring to the surface of the healing water by deep drilling. Similar works have not previously been performed. The place he chose drilling source number 4, which was designed by Jules Francois. As it turned out, a source of mineral water here was not very big, since the drilling of a well on the usual sources for urban water depth, too, was not there. But calculations NN Slavyanov fully justified - in the spring of 1914 a vertical borehole number 16 (at that time the only Zheleznovodsk deep drilling) at a depth of 120 m 4 withdrew from the marl horizon hot Essentuki mineral water temperature of 56 ° C.
In 1916, it capped the well and the well-room building constructed Slavyanovskaya source. The author of the project was the architect Piatigorsky AM Model. In 1917 the pump room was put into operation. Since 1918, he is called "Slavyanovsky." Today it is a monument to the history of the resort.
The main feature of Slavyanovskaya water - the presence of radon in it in very small quantities. In composition it is similar to the water of the Czech spa of Karlovy Vary and is intended for drinking because it has healing properties.
The pump room Slavyanovskaya installed decorative outdoor pavilion with stands for the water supply. Unfortunately, the pump room recently are not working, water is supplied in a closed pavilion. In this marketplace itself is very beautiful and unusual. Here you can take a photo on the memory, read a book or just relax in the silence of the park.
