How deep is your borehole? Is it a low yield, medium or high yield? Mine was called medium yield but from all indication it is low yield at best.

My own borehole only lasted less than 6 hours before it packed up. The guy had the gut to ask me to provide money to buy him another machine for him to burn again. I already promised to get a new pumping machine but he must go find a machine to rent to fix the mess of a borehole he did before I bring new machine. I don't trust this guy a bit with the way he makes promises and never acted on them. This guy has never for once made a single promise to me that he fulfilled for once. Never! From day one, he has been a disappointment and I told him that. I regret ever giving this guy the borehole.

Its made in Russia

Sorry to say this, there in nothing called MEDIUM YEILD from my experience. That was where my predicament started, with this so called medium yield. The first driller, our agreement was to drill 60 meters according to the report. He drilled between 38 and 40 meters and he hit water. Unfortunately I later found out his machine could not drill through the rock above the 40 meters. He stopped and told me that it was a medium yield. Everyday we tried, he pumped for half hour with low pressure and it stopped pumping. We did this back and forth for over 2 months arguing about pump and generator. He told me that the generator had no power to pump. He made over 30 appointments in between 2 months and only showed up twice. I finally made up my mind and told him I am ready to pay all over again and that was when he opened up, and introduce me to the driller. That could drill it with the right equipment, it took about 2 days to get the guys to the site. In 4 hours their machine blasted through the rock, hit the water aquifer. I stopped them at 70 meters, according to my average calculation between the two tests that I did. The total length of the borehole 70 meters pumping depth is 46 meters laid out pipes to the tower is about another 16 meters. The total pumping length is about 62 meters. We were able to pump 500 liters in exactly 1 hour with high pressure pumping in every 4 hours . Enclosed is a result of the first medium yield pumping at 38-40 meters.

@babs hajji, here in Lagos Goodwill,crown, Royal,
then BA, all these are OK, the problem with PNT is it break easily,all there edges are not always equal at times 0.02mm-0.05mm longer than each other in the same carton,that is why some Tiler find it difficult to get perfect straight line while laying it, this do happen to most of there wall tiles and 40*40 vitrify floor tiles also when there wall tiles have contact with cement (which is compulsory in tiles laying)it will bend outward slightly but this is a bit difficult to know or see except you have eagle eyes, although they have some good 30 * 30;new design now
am not trying to spoil there product ooo, but we just want them to improve more on the product so that one day we can meet up Spanish or Italian stuff , who knows

here are some sample of goodwill, crown wall and floor tiles, I don't wanted to go against the law of the tread, no advert pls check my tread for more

Hmm, this sounds like my story. I let an eye witness write the predicaments of the whole story. In my case, I did two different test with conflicting results from two different vendors. I got the average of the two results and based my drilling depth on that average, about a meter away from one and other. After this, I brought every single material that was used still speed 900k for the drilling alone. Alhamduliahi the ends result is a success. Attached is the brand of pump I bought last year for 75k, I brought same one 6 years ago that still in service. This give me confidence to buy the same brand again.

It was 5,000 litres in 60 minutes exactly.

Thank U my Oga!!! He was the brain eye witness to the whole predicament, I can never stop thanking you for your time and honesty you put in to the success of the whole thing. Thank U once again.

Post a link to the new thread here when you create it. Mediocrity and incompetence must be wiped out of this country. I have told people several times that the incompetence and mediocrity at all levels of governance did not start when the person got to the position and that it has been in the person right from time.

True that, my friend did his bore-hole in lagos around November / December and he told me he spent less than 250, 000 Naira for everything (pumping machine inclusive ) and he said the whole process was less than 7 days, when l visited Nigeria around December 2016, l went to see it and it was fantastic, water is pure and the bore-hole is working very well, the company that constructed it are in lagos, we have a long way to go as a nation, then , to read that 500,000 Naira was spent on a bore-hole and you are given a lemon is sad & pathetic, corruption is not restricted to our leaders alone, some followers are also corrupt, looking for ways to cheat, defraud and take money from others, you now ask, will the country ever be free & rid of corruption, l doubt, because it is like a monster which has festered its claws on the nation and some citizens

Hi learned colleagues,

on d brink of tilling my appartment. and being a patriot, lol, saw nicely made and not too pricey Nigerian product called PNT but i ve been discouraged they said it doesnt stand the test of time. that i should rather opt for Goodwill. how true is this assertion? thanks

rotecch77:
Oga kopell , the pump show there is nice good pump made of copper coil materials, but truly it's made in China by one of my Oga friend in coker by name withheld (I can give the man real name if requested )
he went to China (doying company) to produce it , that is company where most people in Nigeria do patronised to produce pump for them .

if you want real Italian, Denmark, German pump go for

lowara
sear
groundfos
Pedrollo
euro pump;
Dab ;(more than 10 types of these flooded the MKT which are replica)
but all i mentioned nna money ooo
but those China do produce good pump I do recommend also to some client but not all China product. but this Oga kopell type is one of the best .
am not trying to promote the man product here oo
if you get to MKT and you can't afford European made ask of any pump that produce by doyin China company ( forget any name they label it here bcs everybody do ask the company to write there own name on it just like that INTER DAB) you will still find one shining sticker label doyin on it
.

Otitokoropupo:
Can anyone please recommend a good welder to me who can interpret a sketch for a carport by himself? He will need to be mobile and bring his welding machine/generator to site.

Also, does anyone know if there's a minimum thickness to use for pipes going into the ground. Is 2mm thickness sufficient or to prevent corrosion, its better to go up to 3mm or above?

Thanks.

P.S.: In case there's also someone like me who was looking for sizes of galvanized pipes, I found a Nigerian site online who seems to specialize in sanitary wares and had this in their collection. Its frakem dot com. There'll probably be more variety and cheaper in the markets, but at least it gave me an idea.

we have a long way to go as a nation, then , to read that 500,000 Naira was spent on a bore-hole and you are given a lemon is sad & pathetic, corruption is not restricted to our leaders alone, some followers are also corrupt, looking for ways to cheat, defraud and take money from others, you now ask, will the country ever be free & rid of corruption, l doubt, because it is like a monster which has festered its claws on the nation and some citizens

Bossman:
Absolutely! There is no accountability at all. If a work is performed and it's not up to par, or as promised, then person that did the job has to own up and fix it, or return the money he was paid. That each individual as to do their own bore hole/well to get watar is unbelievable! Arrrgh! We have a long way to go in Nigeria.

l concur, yes, that is the way it is now for most homes now in Nigeria, you are more like a small government within a country, you provide bore-hole, estate maintenance fee depending on the area & location, you pay for OPC / neighborhood security, in some instance you contribute to maintain the roads and different levies keep springing up , and if you live in an area that is not connected to PHCN, you pay for transformer, wires, poles to enable PHCN connect you to their epileptic power supply and the list is endless and you wonder what the useless government is providing for its citizens, l agree with KANU that the country is a zoo and some other writers called it a jungle because in a zoo there is orderliness because the animals are kept in different compartment and well behaved but in a jungle it is dog chop dog, every man to himself and to your tent O' Israel

offtopic please. someone looking at building a 6 bedroom duplex in Lekki Phase 1. Like how much are they looking at?

Thanks

l know this question was not directed at me but while reading another thread, l saw your question and decided to point you here, there are capable builders / Engineers / contractors here that will assist and guide you, alternatively, you can read through the thread and be enlightened & guided properly, there are several 6 bedroom projects displayed by different people on this thread and others built by different Builders, sieve through the thread & property section in general and approach capable hands, property section is an ocean of wealth & knowledge

@abunafiu, seems you are an alternative energy man, did you install solar pump in ur build?..if not do you know anyone who did. am toying with the idea of installing a solar pump in my build...what sayest thou?

edit: just saw this, it appears the discharge rate is too low, 360LPH., so more than 10hrs to fill a 5000liter geepee tank, no way i no do again

The solution to your remote water pumping needs. This pump is rugged, durable and built to last. This pump delivers a steady 96 GPH (360 LPH) at its maximum depth of 100 feet (30M) when supplied with 24 VDC. Its unique water-tight power connector stops water wicking and prevents potential condensation problems. Great for livestock watering, irrigation, pond aeration, remote homes and 30M deep well.
