The smaller ones are 1500W while the 100L and 120L are 2000W

For the 100Litres to 120Litres the power rating is just 2000W;
Using Ohms law P = IV,
and I = P/V,

Current rating is just I = 2000/220 approximately 9.1A

and they are single phase. With with your 4KW generator you are okay.





In terms energy conservation, it's nice, but the disadvantage is the energy loss at the distribution line, the farthest toilet experiences low heat this is well pronounced if the heater is not well positioned or centralized, those that are closer to heater perform optimally,

I actually don't need conditioned air in the closet. I even wished there was a door that separated it from the room so cold air doesn't escape inside the closet as nobody lives/stays there.

Okay, but I feel there's a need to have a reasonable thermal comfort within your livable space,

On a more serious note 2Hp(1nr) can not conveniently cool that space (master bedroom), it's cheaper if you can make provision for 2 ACs either in terms of sleeves or piping to avoid breaking of walls in future, with this you have nothing to worry about anytime you feel there's need to increase

Please is one 2HP Inverter AC manageable for this Master room?
Note that the door has been moved from right after the stairs to the main entrance of the room itself (after that sink) so the lounge is separated.

No, 2nr of 2Hp sized AC is the most adequate, widen the closet entrance door to have maximum conditioned air

Our two tanks (3000litres per one) do take about 2hrs before they get filled up from the borehole,

Is there a way to make it faster?

If I may ask, What's the size of the pump and pump mains?

This always happen if the pump and pump mains are undersized

Hello house.

Please, for a treated borehole sending water with some particles of sand from the reserved tank to the main tank, what can be done to eliminate sand from getting to the main tank?

To the few plumbers we have on this thread and to the knowledgeable ones here.

Thank you.

1- Clean your tanks
2- Incorporate filter to the pipe network,

Good evening Bosses....please help me review these quotations for piping of a 3 bedroom bungalow (plumbing and electrical).
4 AC units (1 each room & 1 for parlour)
2 Water heaters (2 rooms to 1heater)
The picture is for plumbing and the write up below is for electrical piping.

2 bundle of 20mm uk pip
1 bundle 25mm UK pip
1 highbridge 12ways neb
1 pcs of 6*6 England
6 pack of 3*3 England
6 pack of 3*6 England
1 pack of ubox dignity
1 pack of ybox dignity
1 pack of 20mm Copp dignity
1 pack of 25mm Copp dignity


The prices in the above list is fair enough, from the prices, it seems he's using light pipe, pls ask, more so tell him to use 50mm pipe for waste pipe instead 40mm there's no much difference in their prices,

Sorry to mention I was talking about two different sites. One at designing the other at decking stage but it's the same architect. He only gave me the architectural and structural drawings with seal. He's a licensed guy. But we intend using flat roof for the decking building I'm seeing a lot of negative comments on flat roofing. And the architect said we should use hollow Blocks what's the difference between using hollow block and normal blind blocks?
What's the use of mechanical drawings I'm not familiar with it.

Question for plumbing gurus. So I need help terminating the pipe I placed in the wall for my propane supply.

Any safe suggestions to hook these two together?

Thanks.

Kindly follow this procedure, although I don't know the size of the hose, but I assumed copper pipe : 1/2", hose size: 3/8", I hope it might be helpful, but I will still advice you to get AC technician to carry It out for you properly,

Tools and materials needed:
Flaring tools, 1/2" by 3/8" male flare hose connector and nut, hose clip, thread tape

1. Insert¹flare nut into copper pipe

2-flare the copper pipe with flaring tools to appropriate size,

3- tightening the male flare hose connector with it's nut firmly with thread tape

4- insert the hose into the tips of hose connector and clip it tightly,

5-testing of leakage

@House

Please, can tiling stop a wet wall from expanding?

The leaking pipe was replaced, yet the wet wall keeps expanding.


No, it can't, although it might not be visible, but the leakage will keep expanding to untiled area, the water will always have its way, this means the problem hasn't fully solved, I will advice you keep troubleshooting, until lasting solution is found, re-pressure testing and grout all the floor tiles openings if necessary,

Please is there any danger with using China PPR Piles instead of Turkey?

Although China ppr is cheaper, the issue is the service life, nominal working pressure, reliability, turkey ones are the best especially hakan, for plumbing, the quality of materials is essential, and no amount is too much to be incurred for having rest of mind,

Good evening all,

I got the attached estimate from my plumber for internal piping for cold and hot water for one unit of a 3bedroom flat( one storey building)

I would appreciate if professionals in the house help me look into this list.

Thanks


It's cool but tell him to use 1/2" sized of PPR for the hotline considering the cost implication of using 3/4" size for it, is excessive, only if you're are using central water heater that's when 3/4" size might be applicable,

More so, no gate valve or stop cork in the quote, is it omitted or it's not going to be used, kindly seek clarity,

Good afternoon smart people in the house,

Please what is the major difference between a standing AC and a split Ac? I want to get a 2hp inverter Ac and I am confused about whether to go for a standing one or a split ac.


How is one better than the other, please?

None is better than the other, each with pros and cons, more so everyone has his own choice of things, but these factors can be helpful in making the decision,

1- Room space : floor standing AC flows well in a spacious room, but if not choose wall mounted, that why it's mostly use in the living room,

2- Accessibility: floor standing AC is more accessible especially for elderly,

3- Distribution of Air: the conditioned air circulate evenly through wall mounted AC, in most of the cases, furnitures are easily avoided due its high positioning, reverse is the case for floor standing,

4- ease of installation : floor standing has this one, it's easy to install,

5-Aesthetics : floor standing is the best it's more appealing,

6- maintenance: both are easily maintained, but wall mounted has features which are more easier to clean,

Just thinking aloud. What if the guy has no ulterior motives?

I went the bush wood route in one of my personal build and I can still tell you some of the woods supplied to me are still lying on the floor unperturbed after many years.

I had to reward the supplier 7 years later when I realized I wasn’t cheated.
