EgunMogaji: Like you mentioned, i also think this one is bare minimum for a single shower and not a whole house. It will be highly inadequate for a whole building especially with the capacity. You may end up with a minimum of.0.5HP pump for the whole house which increases your power needs. This is a random internet picture of the kind of pump you need for a house. My boss has this installed in his house. Yes it is fully automatic. 1 Like

@egun, thanks for sharing this pics but there is a mistake there when posting the pics The pics there is VALVE,.. FLOATING VALVE OR BALL VALVE.used to regulate inflow and stopage of water into tank.(this can't stop pump) Your explanation is FLOATING SWITCH. This is very good to switch off the pump ones it reaches the level you set for it. I did same for a client that complain about pumping machine here sometimes ago. I will post the pics ones I see it |

rotecch77:most definitely sir. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by rotecch77(m): 8:27am On Jan 16, 2018 |
@adanny good pics there. But 0.5 hp is the lowest capacity in pumping machine and with that pressure tank on it it will serve a whole building perfectly ok. More so that pump you post there as sample is a very powerfully pump specially made it has 4 impeller which can full 2500 gallon of tank within 10min. Regular surface pump do have single impeller. But surbmersible pump do have about 12-30 impeller depends on the pump capacity That is why you see bore hole pump (surbmersible) do pump faster than surface pump. |

Baba roteck I still wonder why people living in high building like 3 stories need pump machine to get good flow? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by rotecch77(m): 9:11am On Jan 16, 2018 |
@baba Kenny thanks, That is a serious issue in some houses But there is a way we do it to get regular inflow of water but some bathroom appliance such as power shower needs more pressure to function very well but yet there is still a way to do it. Unless you need high pressure for your home which will require booster pump to do the magic. |

Chekitaut:I think if one is not making use of mixing machine, the R is not advisable Hand mix takes time |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Chekitaut: 11:21am On Jan 16, 2018 |
Rubbiish:Very correct sir, personally i prefer the N anytime. only Block producers R is their best. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Rubbiish(m): 11:26am On Jan 16, 2018 |
Chekitaut:@bold Is N not even more suitable for block making...But i will prefer N to R for block making ooo. Except their is pressure to make quick use of the blocks. |

adanny01: What about filters, any pics of filtration systems in Nigeria? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by adanny01(m): 5:24pm On Jan 16, 2018 |
EgunMogaji: Most homes use the first picture and the second. Multiple of the 1st is sometimes used. I think it all depends on the quality of water or the kind of impurities you are dealing with. People who live close to the sea need desalination filtration system which will be more complex. Others as bad as sewage contamination or as simple as sand or colour etc. The more filter, the less pressure and the more pressure booster power required.

Question? I don't want my water tank to be high but this water tank will supply water to two level four flats How can I achieve that goal |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by rotecch77(m): 7:56pm On Jan 16, 2018 |
@good faith, this ur explanation is not clear enough *which type of structure did you erected. * what is the capacity of water tank did you need *you can post the pics of the structure so that we can get clearer pics of what you mean and possibly solution to it. |

rotecch77:I have not done anything but I don't want it to be high three feet from the ground Can I pump water to second floor without any problem from three feet tank from ground |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by rotecch77(m): 9:01pm On Jan 16, 2018 |
If i get you clearly you need adequate water is 1st and 2nd floor without tanks there, you wanted your tank to be at 3ft on ground floor. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by GoodFaith: 9:04pm On Jan 16, 2018 |
rotecch77:Correct but , I need a tank I am looking for the tank to stay on the ground not high |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by rotecch77(m): 9:11pm On Jan 16, 2018 |
Ok, your case need special treatment. This is it water need gravity to flow. What you need is pressure pump. The question is * you need to consider that you will have 24hrs electricity *can all the occupant mentained the system. *consider that you will have standby pump incase of necessity. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by GoodFaith: 9:16pm On Jan 16, 2018 |
rotecch77:You are very correct I am looking at how to deal with the gravity flow without high |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by rotecch77(m): 9:22pm On Jan 16, 2018 |
It is possible by using double or single centrifugal pump combine with automatic pressure tank We can handle this for you. 08066619493 |

FastShipping:thank you all, i will wait for the engineer response tomorrow, and i will send the pictures in sha Allah. I asked you so that he will not deceive me by telling me it is ok while it is not. becuse he know that i will held him responsible for any failure. |

skelefish: yes the tank arrangement is like you said: 1, 1 and two. The holding capacity of the tower is for about 5500 litres x 4 Tanks, its 5500 litre tank per each three bedroom flats, 2 x One bedroom flats will use one 5500 litres and 2 x two bedroom flat will use one 5500 litres tank. it is a total of six flats. To be honest I'm not sure of the foundation dept but it is not H-Beam but galvanized |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Rubbiish(m): 8:42am On Jan 17, 2018 |
diordaves:Sir do u mean 5500litre tank per 3bedroom flat or per 3 number of 2bedroom flat? |

Chekitaut:Advantage of R Dry faster, Curing is fast fast construction work Disadvantage of R Require lots of water for concrete works Tendency to have cracking. Advantage of N Watering is friendly any time before complete curing. Hardly you experience cracking Disadvantage of N Slow construction work Curing is slow 1 Like |
