I went the instant water heater (Ariston Pronto Neo) way jejely.

Traditional water heaters take time to reach preferred temperatures, thus wasting energy.

I’ve not explored the option of a solar water heater though but I’ve heard about DC water heaters.

_______
Some of our people are the reason why diasporas keep abusing us grin

All these alternative options are out there but they’ll only be here to advertise and not to share knowledge. Instant and Tankless water heaters have been here for over decade and we don’t get to hear much about them.

Solar water heater won’t work for me, just too grotesque for now. But since I run solar power the net effect is still an efficient cost savings.

I had tankless instant water heaters in Texas back in 2005. They have their own issues. But I suspect it’s been ironed out in the 15 years since I last dabbled with it.

My Nigeria is about easy no stress living. I just want known proven low tech solutions to certain things. I think a 50 liter tank that’s allowed to fire once a day will suffice. This is in fact a godamn luxury upgrade because I use kettle system now. Oh the horrors grin

Kettle system needs no milk or sugar.

I mean it doesn’t require electricity.


We recently discussed number of baths required per flat. How about the number of water heater required in a 2 bed apartment?

I wish house agents will shook mouth for this matter.

I think you talked about building CNC back then? Come and see CNC in almost every building in Mushin right now with almost every one turning into machinists.

Our major problem is leadership. We just need to do away with the old generation and start working with young and innovative minds (18 - 55) should be it if we want to see meaningful development.

The 55 - 100+ should start playing the role of John the Baptist.


______

HFP has been leading the prefab construction sector for over 3 decades in Nigeria but we never deem it fit to document true success.
A lot of easterners are big industrialists. I’ve seen lots of indigenous solutions and I cannot but marvel at our ingenuity.

We just have the wrong people at the helms of power.
I just think we need to decentralize the center for Nigeria to work again.

______

I’m still looking at entering into the prefab market. Why do we need to cast lintels in these age? Aren’t there better and more cheaper alternatives than the conventional approaches?

I agree with you...Old Warlords will only do one thing, go to war with anything in their way.

On a serious note; Nigeria lacks patriotic citizens, hence our habit of electing Mad people to lead us. Imagine Thienubu leading well educated Nigerians into Warlords camp! anyways lets remain in Building mode.

All i see is that we need to help ourselves buy going back to training adequately in all areas of profession. Experiment more like you are trying to do. Those of us Abroad needs to visit home more and TRANSFER Skill set to our brothers and sister. We cant stay too long to fit anything in Nigeria with our 2weeks vacation, but we can do a week training for free and our smart people can take it from there.

LAST LAST, STOP ELECTING AS8holes!!! it a suicide mission

oh yeah CnC is the way to go in building models and samples. I left that in the shelf for now u till I be like Egunmogaji. However I'm improving my knowledge base on that matter and experimenting at my free time how it would work in 9ja..I'm at wrk atm and will soon close thank God no Beeps no alarms so I did not have to go tools container ���
on the brighter side we are moving slowly but surely in the right direction and taking reasonable risks.I took a risk wen I changed my RRS from RHD to LHD. loads of people are taking loads of risk to innovate the building sector too.the word just has to be kept spreading.plis I'm happy 4 you bro.U have brushed off your rough edges. u av come a long way. I can tell U have greatly improved on the customer relations front.

As far as possible. Same goes for water wells. But as you are choosing sides, check with your neighbor's to see if their own soakaway over the fence is not at your preferred borehole or water well side .
