Please tag me again. I will send you a YouTube video when I am free. In the video, you will see the estate where the tanks were used. May God help me.
Thanks. That will be appreciated.

There are newly-built estates in Ikeja. That’s what they used. Each apartment has two of the tank.
It would be great if we can see some pics though.

This is a request; not necessary to be obliged. If this is safe, I don't mind switching to it but that will require space and new construction to house it.

I would rather buy imported, food-grade or decontaminated tanks than waste my money on all those robber/plastic yeye brands those Asian companies manufacture for us.

Both robber and plastic are substandard.
‘Robber-made’ tanks too leak quickly. Just that it’s a bit better than plastic own. High water pressure causes it to start leaking under 2 years.

The resin and other chemical compositions in the purported robber grade are deliberately made to be lesser and substandard.
I don’t want to mention any brand but all I know is that the last time any of them made good tank was in 1993. Quote me anywhere.

If you want piece of mind, go for imported food-grade tanks or thoose properly decontaminated ones.

They are usually brought to Nigeria by manufacturing companies when bringing chemicals or food-grade additives.

The only down-side on it is that: it is usually in 1,000 liters.

Another pro of it is that: the robber is strong because those who manufactured it did because of safety of the contents in it firstly, and to withstand many weathers and other rough handlings.
They usually come on pallets and in cages.

They are cheaper. They sell between N25k to N40k, depending on how clean or how graded they are.

Make sure the one used to bring chemical are properly decontaminated before buying. Or try and decontaminate it if you know how to do it.

Some Nigerians are already going to China to bring brand new ones of those tanks.

Please run away from new ones. They are fa.ke.
I have attached photos of new (black, in this case), and used ones (white, in this case.
I think building engineers need to do more research on this and advice their clients accordingly. However, I've not for once seen where these imported tanks are being used.

And while it might be true that there are now more fake tanks out there than original, I've personally lost count of tanks (in this case, the popular ones we buy) that lasted for years and years without leaking.

Those who have more knowledge in this area can enlighten us more though.

You have a higher chance of getting the phone if it's not packaged in a way that looks suspicious. That's why you need to chat seller and tell him to avoid writing anything "Samsung" or "Mobile phone" on the parcel.
Thanks for replying him. How do you suppose I can do this on aliexpress? Those guys don't understand English.

I think you got a good deal. I have a 4 bedroom bungalow currently being plastered, the mason charged me 340k for all that's to be plastered and dressed including parapet.
Is this just workmanship for both external and external?

Akerewe:
Now I can see ur quotation clearly, but this ur 20mm pipes price might not materialize because a bundle is 25pcs.

At least, if u r using not too good pipes, the 5 packs should be around 50-55k. That means u r using the 3rd grade pipes, because they of 3 grades.

Other materials are ok but that 25mm price is outrageous.

Workmanship is ok but u can still beg him to reduce small for u.
Thanks so much. You and of twinskenny and Topsy have cleared my doubts.

The price of those pipes are too low. Not sure the electrician quoted for original pipe. Based on the amount for 5bundles of 20mm @ 20,000, it means a bundle 4,000naira.
Thank you.

I'm not afraid of paying for good quality. In fact, that's why I'm asking exprienced people here.

Akerewe:
The prices are not ok, break it down 👇

U mean 20,000 for 5 bundles? Or a bundle is 20,000? For the 20mm pipe, which brand?

The 25mm pipe price is outrageous, watch! kiss

U box per pack or per 2 packs is 3,000??

20mm coupler price is ok

The iron box prices, is it per pack or per 5 pack?

The distribution board??

Workmanship is ok but u can still negotiate small.
Thanks so much. I thought there is something called boundel, that's why I didn't pay attention. It's now obvious that's his spelling of 'bundle'. Lots of other misspellings. I'm amazed.

I'm rewriting correctly below:

First stage half conduit:

5x bundle of 20mm pipe: 20,000
1x bundle of 25mm pipe: 6,000
2x pack of U Box: 3,000
1x 20mm coupler: 1,500
5 pack of 3by3 iron box: 7,500
5 pack of 3by6 iron box: 7,500
Male Bush: 3,000
Three phase d.b: 60,000

Material cost: 108,500
Workmanship: 45,000

Total: 153,500
.

By the way, this is Osun state (Osogbo precisely). I appreciate all the help.
