Hello Chief,

I am interested in your conversation about water pressure and booster pumps as i am facing a related low-water pressure issue.

Recently i bought a fully automatic Hisense washing machine to be used at my place. After the installation at home ( to the water inlets) , we powered the machine and water wasnt going in. ( But the machine works pretty well if filled with water manually by pouring water into it).

The machine was returned to the dealership who also sent it to the service center for diagnosis and repairs, but later the machine was returned with an “OK” service status.

After several tests at my place we discovered that the water pressure from my tanks was too low to open the selenoid inlet valves which was amazing because the tanks are about 5 feet above the ground and are huge GP Tanks.

I had to test the machine again by connecting it directly to the 1.5HP submersive pump supplying water to the tanks, then the machine inlet valves were properly opened under that amount of pressure.

Right now i’m setting for installing water booster pump specifically for just the washing machine ( the house water supply works pretty fine and i dont want to go through the headache of raising the tanks higher, which i dont even think would be a sufficient fix )

Do have recommendations on where i can get the water booster pumps from either within Lagos or if it’s waybill-able and do you know of any plumber who can install it in such a way that it works perfectly with the washing machine with no alteration to the washing machine ( washing machine is still under 1 year warranty )?

Also considering that the washing machine only expects to take in water on few occasions during the operation cycle.

If you were in my shoes how would you DIY this?

This is very true. These are the buildings I found in one small village in Anambrastate, all very close to each other. In this part of the world, the roof makes a statement of it's own, the colour, the height and the designs adds to the elegance of the environment.

I was joking with a friend yesterday, I told him that to do business in Nigeria, one needs to do a one year military training after learning his business field

Oga Michilins, you are climbing and working on 40ft of water stanchion and still scared of height?

But Oga @Spyder880, for real this is the kind of house meant for ppl like me with almost 7ft tall. I am surely following this house well, well. Good work.

Americans troop leaving middle East is a recipe for disaster

Biden is now solely focused on Americans forgetting their allies,

From Blocking Covid 19 Vaccination raw materials to Indian while stock piling it, to merely issuing travel restrictions for its citizens in Isreal instead of taking a stance... Biden's foreign policy would be Sidon dey look

I guess after 3 months, you will start working on extending your stay.

Just curious, how much did you spend on this journey? Some people could have used such amount to set themselves up well in Nigeria.

@michilins what would the labour cost estimate be or is it inclusive in the estimate?

A Country Home. Nothing is like that!
I can imagine the exceptional joy and peace in you and family right now.
Welcome home Odogwu.
Wait a minute! That's the same idea of gate i stole from EgunMogaji2, produced by Michlins.

I can see that Oga n3xt have done justice to the Lagos market, Anambra lands are all very competitive no matter the village you are looking. This has made the cost of the lands to be comparatively higher than it's equivalent in neighbouring states.

The reasons for Anambra lands cost is not far fetched, Anambra is a highly populous state with very small land mass, I have been to almost all Anambra towns and there is no place I can find reasonably large lands that are not owned by many people. Most Anambra people didn't even inherit lands because of their larger population to land mass ratio.

Another thing pushing Anambra lands high is the quest for industrialisation. Many of the citizens of the state are manufacturing one item or the other, and they constantly buy or expand their spaces. This is making lands costly here.

Markets are so many in Anambra that they have over 62 big markets and still building more. I heard for the first time that there is a separate market for women's wrappers last month, (not women's wears or shoes) just only wrappers!. They offload wrappers in container loads. The market is so large that I couldn't believe it. And so these markets take land spaces but employ thousands.

But with the markets and industries comes crowds of people that work and trade around the markets. And this is where commercial real estate comes in. Onitsha is full, you might never get a plot inside the city with less than M30m, so the best bet is surrounding towns to Onitsha. Obosi and Ogidi are out of it too so go to Oba, Ogbunike, Umunya or Nkwelle Ezunaka. Asaba is also looking good, although you said Anambra state. Awka is also looking good with flats and hostels.

The deal is to go for good lands with a good history, and please be ready to develop after purchase, even if it's only a fence. Any place with competitive plots is prone to land grabs.

Good morning my people.

Very correct sir

CEO is the most abused acronym in Nigeria.

Every Tom and Harry is a CEO of a one man shop.

Even the so-called educated folks join illiterates to commit the blunder.
