I think I understand your question.

Without the pump being powered water will still flow but at restricted pressure especially from a low height stanchion.

You should talk to a good solar power company. You might be pleasantly surprised at the cost on just pumps, not whole house.
much appreciated

No, cassette is ceiling mount. Works just like central unit ACs.

Is this better than the other?

What about the maintenance part? Won't this be more difficult to maintain?

You can have a average height for your overhead tank if you want to install booster pump .

Also the pump must be connected to a power source before it works ..
thanks noted

Once again, I’ve been using mine for almost a decade. NEPA gat nothing on me. The equipment run on 650VA battery which can power the gate for 72 hours in case of power failure (lesser time if your house is a public building where gate is opened every 20 minutes grin)

Add solar solution to the system and you can get your gate working independent of PHCN.

Kiekie1 can integrate this for you.

________

Integrated buildings are the future.

Now there’s Z-wave, Insteon and the likes. (Replacements for X10) I’m feeling like going back into smart building integration.


No wahala Boss, thank God we have at least someone in-house who can handle stuffs like these, technicians in Naija need more exposure to these things, them be like pure water outside Naija & its not rocket science to achieve.


@Kiekie1, I get small work for you, I will reach-out to you privately when it gets to that time, I still dey foundation stage, buts it's good to ask questions & plan ahead... smiley

All of them serve different purpose. You want to use this in a crowded room where it’s impossible to serve the occupant’s need with a directional AC.

That’s why you see this mostly in eateries and large shopping centers.

It’s pretty easy to install and maintain. The same company selling the common ones make them and the parts are available in the regular market.

It uses the same gas as the common ones grin

grin

I don’t build for others so my accounting is not bloated with 3rd party costs wink

See attached for what I proudly did with N2M cool

Thank God you said 2m has finished here.. without roofing which will set you back 800k-1m.

And windows, around 400k - 500k
Plastering, Eelctrical piping n wiring, plumbing piping n wiring, Doors, POP ceiling, Tiles, Fencing etc...

You know how many millions be that grin


We did this, with our 3rd party costs (man must chop) for 2.5million .. Though it was late last year.

14 columns or so, German floor (with DPM and mesh), Chain lintel, and a sit-out.

And this is obviously bigger..

Maintenance = Having to remove it when there's a fault to the installed console in that position I meant.

Oga mi, there’s no benefit for me to lie. We’re all in the market and know what stuff goes for.

I don’t have pillars in the build.

I said I could build my personal bungalow for N5M back last year pre Covid. I still believe that even now.

I am willing to try this with the gate house. I hope the location is not too far from mainland. You should be able to order the mold online.

Very easy too. You almost won’t notice when maintenance is being carried out on these type of ACs in the public centers where they are mostly used.

I can even make one. I just need to see the design.

They’re in the Sangotedo/Major side of Lekki/Epe expressway.

For the qty needed for a gatehouse, I believe we can arrange delivery with something very considerable

Yes, it blows in 4 direction and the beauty of it is that you can control the openings in some model.

You achieve better airflow with this type of AC.

Okay. As for the settings, I believe you understand what I meant?

The only different is the location of the window.

If you can achieve this at that amount I think Naz23 can get it done in the village as long as it's not too remote and labour charges are same as every other place. He can use 3/8" coarse as aggregates for his concrete works assuming it can be gotten easily. He can do hand mould blocks at the site to cut costs.

Yes. Your mileage may vary.

I don’t want to drag this too much. I’m proving this on the two builds that I’m doing.

You don’t need mortar. Few of the hollows are to be filled with reinforced concrete by design and this lock all other blocks in place.

It’s a smart way to build if the block design is right.

____

I’ve not used it before but I knew exactly what to do with a solution like this to make it work for me. That’s more reason I’m interested in the mould design.

There are reinforcement Iron bars inside that wall. It will never stand on its own no matter how professionally stacked.

Both are not bad, but to me I can change the 2 designs and put it in the middle where you have 3 giant windows.

The projected verander and the room can have same colour of paint and the middle brick will contrast the both sides paint.

Same thought here
