120k depending on your design

Same design as you have it there in the first picture. That's a simple design and I was attracted because of its minimalist nature. I am a minimalist.

120k is high naa for this simple design.

You're in Asia and 55%(or more) of all we use in Nigeria comes from China (Wuhan, Guangdong especially)

Why not import?

Here's the secret.

Before the pandemic hit deep, it cost just ₦100,000 to import 1 CBM.

1 CBM is equivalent to 360kg.

So, when you see dealers lying to you in Alaba, Oyingbo, Idumota, Orile that their profit is small, it's a big fat lie.

Imagine importing all lightings, fittings, switches, Water heater etc which are less than 1 CBM and paying as little as ₦30,000 and all the items you bought cost you only ₦60,000. Add 1+2 to give you approximately ₦100,000

Everything that cost you ₦100k to buy and ship from China, will cost you ₦500,000 to buy in Nigeria if not more.


Chai, these days I'm revealing too much

My oga, I school in China. The pandemic hasn't made me return back due to the reason that China isn't allowing foreigners into their country. I will like us to align as regards any import from China. What do you think?

I have a question for the gurus in the house, who have experience with this:

Is it possible to have TWO Submersible Pumping Machines inside a Borehole?
Each one is to be powered separately, will run at the same time and will supply water to two different, unrelated tanks.
What are the various things to be on the lookout for?

Thank you for your contribution.

From the heap I saw on the ground, I would assume its 30 tons. I receive 6 loads of similar truck few weeks back. I made sure when each of the truck off loading I got a picture of the off loading. That's the best I can do to ensure I'm not short changed.

This is what each heap looks like.

Just get a more powerful pump that can pump as much you need per minute, I used a pump that pump 36 meters in 2000 gallons in 35 minutes.

I will like to use this time to say thank you to Imran roofing for a job well done on my roofing.
Imran roofing professionalism is first class, there is no delay in their project . fast measurement, fast quotation, fast stone coated delivery and fast job completion.
They keep you up to date with frequent communication. I will also like to mention that while those who did the woodwork told me the roof measurement was 500sqm which I suspected was false due to the perfect rounding to the hundred. Imran roofing confirmed my suspiciousness when they quote 445sqm after their own measurement. Are they right or wrong? Well let this be your answer. picture they say don't lie.
Please let us all encourage competency, honesty and professionalism by referring Imran roofing to all that is in need of roofing services.
Thank you Imran aka money121

I want the two pumps to get power from their separate Electric Meters, two separate Buildings side-by-side, otherwise l will be settling quarrels.
But l want to avoid digging a second Borehole even as sharing the borehole makes the water better as it enjoys more usage. Water level in the area is high so supplying the pumps should not be a problem.

Thanks, still expecting more opinions from more gurus in the house

I am hoping that the Big bore Pipe can contain a second Pump and if it can, how to go about it.

If it's possible you should use 2 separate pipes that will hold the submersible instead of one pipe to hold 2 pumps.

in addition to this opinion, if your water level is very high, you can as well make one 1 1/2 meters away from the other one. The can program them to pump at different time.

Thanks Sis, for the info. I see you are using a 2 SURFACE Pump.
I have the intent to insert both SUBMERSIBLE Pumps into the single borehole pipe from the ground and have both working at the same time and each serving different buildings that are adjacent to each other.

I think it is do-able (my opinion), as long as water in the bore-pipe can cover both pumps simultaneously but l still need more opinions, people who have perhaps, done something similar or are in the business.

Thank you for this.
The current situation is that l have a working borehole, with its pump and wiring intact.
I acquired an adjacent building recently and l have done a borehole there but the water is not clean enough, unlike the one that is already in place for some years now. I had to abandon the recent Borehole effort, the water is just not clean enough for use. I had pumped it out for five days non-stop, hoping it will eventually get clean.

My plan is to extend the same borehole to the adjacent building without sharing the Pumping infrastructure of the first, such that they work independently of each other while sharing that singular hole that was dug into the ground, from which the clean water comes from.
I hope this is not wishful thinking?
