Aventures:
Pics of tank stand

The first layer will take 4 tanks, second and third layer 3 tanks each. Then 2inches discharge pressure pipes to run the water from tank to the house. The pressure will be very High.

The one installed is 8m tall from DPC.
It is a 7,000 Litres installation with floating switch that controls the start and stop of the pumping machine.

Thank sir. But I have a concern, the water storage tank provision seems small ooo boss, this peeps might need to pump like twice a day. A 9m high with 8 Storage tank capacity, would have been the best. I just did 10 tank capacity of 12 m. I will share the pics shortly

Ok

What is the size of the building? How many apartments do you have and how many rooms?

With this arrangement, you can't possibly use a floating switch. So you need someone who will be operating the pumps and water will be flooding the area once the tanks are filled up

We used 1.75inches discharge pipes to run the water to the inlet of each flat. The distribution within a flat is with 3/4 and 1 inch

Yes sir it is going to be controlled by floating switch. Our present development is 4 units of terraces on 2 suspended floors. Then we have a future development on an a second plot that the tank will serve.
Now I understand your arrangement now with 7500 litres and float switch in place there would be constant recharging as long there is power supply.

How do you run a floating switch where the tanks are on different levels and with the tanks on each level serving a different floor?

The 4 tanks serving the four units are at the topmost level. The supply from borehole goes to one of the tank where the float switch will be installed. The four tanks will he looped together at the bottom so all the tanks are always on same level while pumping water into them and also when in use. The discharge pipe to each unit will run separately. Whenever there is a drop the floating switch operates the pump and no one is at disadvantage. Meanwhile the pump and other general utility will be on the utility meter and everybody is responsible for it

Good morning. This is well understood. But then the floating switch only works for the upper 4 tanks. The tanks at the second level and third level will not be controlled by any floating switch and they do not serve any of the 4 units... What is then the need of those tanks? I mean the tanks on the 2nd and 3rd level, what is their function?

The other layers are for future development to be served by a separate borehole.

Good Morning,

pls have you got a reliable welder who can help me fabricate a tank stand (Galvanised pipe) pls? I emailed you
