The Walls need to be Straight and flat first before you sand it. Or else you will have Block Mortar bumps everywhere.

Thanks for the response Sir.

skimanski:


The advise you were given is very appropriate. as this is a soakaway and not storage Tank. this will still have dampness regardless of the fact that its a dry soil, so casting the tank with concrete and proper damp proofing method, is the best way to go.

Thanks Skimanski. Please if I got you right... the appropriate method is use reinforced concrete columns, do a solid block wall, apply a dpm on floor and walls and pour concrete all around the side walls behind the blocks?

Process:
Dig a Trench, Use Damp proof Membrane to Blind the sorrounding with Light Concrete. Reinforce everywhere. Cast with Water Proof and Cement Mixture, Plaster with waterproof and Tile.

I don't like them either. I just did one like few months ago and water pressure was low in one bathroom and kitchen but okay everywhere else. I didn't want the high tank and was going for water pressure pump but my contractor insisted on high water station of 22 feet. At the end, I introduced water pressure pump. The almost 450k water stand turned out to be useless.

Sir does it mean with water pressure pump one doesn't need high tank stand?

You can even install your tank underground and all you need is a good water pump.

The critical thing is that, in my opinion, you have to know that you're doing this during your plumbing so that your plumber can double check all fittings, joints etc and do a pressure leak test before sealing up the walls.

You don't need tank tower if using pressure pump. All you need is reservoir and pressure pump. Mind you, the pressure pump needs power always.

Okay thank u sir
But i thought people using tower also make use of pumps, to get water from well to tank, from tank to d building. Or are the pumps different?

Well pump is different from pressure pump. Two different pumps. I have one well pump and one pressure pump.

THE ROOF!!
Please, can you explain a bit more about the roofing style used here? Is it slanted? The angle from which the picture was taken doesn't explain this. It looks nice. Quite a departure from the common ones with high posts.

The Roof is Slanted to the Back and you can see from the Back Units. Long Span Aluminium Roofing sheet was used.

Thanks!
I'm sure this style will save on money spent on roof material and woods. I'm seriously considering this.
