When it comes to water pressure from overhead tank, I think all of you are correct in a way. Apart from preference in water pressure (what is satisfactory to me might not work for you), there ways to achieve a decent water pressure for shower.

It is acceptable that the higher the tank the more pressure of the water flow. I think Michlins take is the value in raising such a taller tank stand.

There are many ways to achieve "excellent" water pressure without building tower of David.

First, you must run the pipes from the tank to top most floor directly. (This is the reason why the pressure of water on the roof is better than the one on a stand of the same height.) It does not look neat but it works. Then work your way down the floors. The idea of running the pipe down first before going upstairs waste some pressure.

Secondly, you must incorporate pipe reduction to achieve better water pressure. Pvc or copper pipe reducers should not be hard to find.

In the end, you just want to enjoy shower and forget about stress.

When we start having 24/7 electricity this small thing will replace those heavy tanks

I have explained this earlier, system of running your pipe from top downward and then go up again to serve the upper floor( 95 pec of my pipe system goes this way BUT yet there must still be an adequate height to achieve this, if not you will still get low pressure at upper floor.
There are many ways I adopted to achieved adequate pressure for in my project.


The second option you mentioned os very common here as far back as 20year ago ( pressure tank/ pressure pump ) the issue with this is electricity,,”No light No water “
Secondly you must use a very good materials for the type of system reason why I always advise my clients to use this pipe and fittings pics below ) so in future if need be to use pressure pump/ pressure tank

Akerewe:
No whaala, u r on point. It's a very unique mech technique.

Yes
Here are more complex type

Akerewe:
Hmmm, this may not last oo it's just a simple method of using a pvc clamp as a reducer thereby increasing the pressure.
Nevertheless, this is not 12 inch pipe as u claim oo. Kudos to you guy, ur head dey there!

Due to my comment as I said “ this is sample” we have many size like 4”- 20” so the materials are diff

Akerewe:
Well, if u say so I agree because it sounds somehow.
Welldone

see sample pics this is just the beginning

Akerewe:
Pls am interested in this kind of system, pls how possible is it to pass water tru 12 inch pipe to 1 inch pipe? What could be the method use in achieving that pls?

There are some materials needed for these operation with high skill personnel
Not “DIY” system

michlins:
a four storey building is 45ft, what's the ideal height of the tank stand and how do you intend to practically achieve it

You want me to go deeper on water supply System both in domestic and industrial system. Well it what I know but I will just explain it in simpler form

You see high rise building and sky scraper water supply system connection is a bit critical.
This is it l, most of these high building mostly have there water tank setup on ground floor and a well design transfer pump will be installed to do the job plus booster pump in each section of the building ( the explanation is much and the sep up is critical than what I can explain fully here.)
Again some also do have GIANT WATER TANK with about 12inch diameter pipe from the height of about 100ft with about 100bar pressure to supply any building around the municipal, this system doesn’t need any booster pump to get pressure in any building around bcs all building around will be tapping the water from the 12inch pipe with 1 or 2inches pipe to supply such into the building
Imaging the pressure you wi get from 12 inches pipe to 1inch pipe.
Here is the standard system
You can try visit any 4-5 star hotel or any high riise building you will get my explanation beta
Or any water cooperation around


It’s a whole lot of work ooo

Based on my experience in water tanks installation both in theory and practical.
If you have a building of 20-24ft it’s strongly advisable to do height of 30-38ft water tank.

If your building is btw 9-12ft (bungalow) it’s ok to do btw 15-18ft water tank height.

Here is it in theory and practical
If you need 1-2bar of water pressure which is just AVERAGELY ok for domestic building your tanks should be in height of 12-18ft in a bungalow this will give you 1-2bar which means a bucket of 20lts will filled up btw
2-3min
In practical plumber will run the supply pipe through ground which means the water tank still remain 12-18ft height to supply such pressure BUT if he try to run the water through roof it mean the height is just only 3-6ft which is VERY BAD bcs water heater will not run and shower also.

In case of a story building it’s the same theory and practical.

If your tank is 25-28ft and you run your water through roof same WATER SHORTAGE will happened bcs the height you have at upper floor is just ONLY 5-8ft ( the building height will be btw 20-22ft )
And if you run it through ground then go back up water shortage will still occurred in upper kitchen, shower etc ( it’s real ) means to filled up 20lts bucket it will take like 5-6min at 0.5 BAR mostly when your water reaches half tank … Any body can try this.

Most of my project I usually do 35-38ft ( duplex)
15-18ft bungalow.

Happy new year my oga. I pray God will make you remember me this year and patronize me

I do remember you my oga
Only that we used other’s products for our painting projects, but we shall see what to do about your product ( value paint) soon.

Well done brother.

Thanks chief, how work?

Another one …., now at 95pec completion

This house fine, i like the railings design

Thanks brother

Amosaloud:
Please how high was the tank stand/water stanchion and cost of doing similar? Many thanks in anticipation of your response.

Reeefe:
do they use separate pumping machine for each of those tanks. or each flat pumps for itself with their separate machine

1tank to serve 2 flats, each section(2flats) will pump water independently.
It’s only one bore hole that supplied the 5 tanks.

We did same here in year 2021, 8flats
