Hello house, please I need your contributions.

I have a situation at hand.

My current apartment is a 2 storey residential property, there is an issue of low water pressure on the 2nd floor. When there's light the pressure is great ( quite high), as there's a pressure controller attached to the pump. I noticed that I've never heard/seen the tank full(usual overflowing of water storage tanks).

1) Does the tank ever gets full with this setup?
2) Doesn't this consume a lot of power as its usually always on due to the above mentioned reason?
3) Is there a better way to set it up?

Attached below are pictures of the setup.

If you have not seen the tank overflowing when the pump is working is because there is floating switch controlling the pump. It's automatic. When the water get to a certain level the floating switch cut off the supply to the switch to avoid over flow. And also when the level of water is low the floating switch send signal to the pump to transfer water to overhead tank.

The second question is very simple, when there is power supply definitely you will get pressure because for your pressure pump to work there must be a power supply, and when there is no power supply you will experience a low pressure in the building.
Remember pressure pump only works when there is water running either in the bathrooms, kitchen or external tap. It will only consume power when pump is working

Boss welcome back to the forum

What if in a case where only lighting cables were run (1.5m) before the PoP was done and it wasn't run for the switches (2.5mm) due to possible theft. Will running now still be challenging?

If you can run the lighting and suspended the socket, AC and water heater for now. It will be okay.

I have two plots of land and savings of about 2 million naira , and on a monthly basis I can save between 300,000 - 500,000 naira , with all these in consideration is it advisable I start building a house , looking at 3-4 bedroom bungalow .

Your opinions and advice would be highly appreciated.

You can start building your dream home since you have land already

The project

MrDraey:
Thank you all for your advices.

Although I have fixed both the front and back doors, also installed burglary protectors at the front and back, installed window protector and installed windows...

I won't be cabling now because I cannot trust the environment just yet.

Maybe when I'm close to moving in, I'll run the cables together with fittings.

But remember you have to run the cables before POP. Cabling and POP can be done same time. It will be difficult to run the cable after closing up the ceiling ..

Electrician is asking for 10mm copper cable for connection between meter and distribution board or changeover. Load won't exceed 3air conditioner, cooker units, water heater(future use) and all the regular lighting points, sockets.

Can American Wire gauge 2 or 6.54mm do the same job? Thank you.

Cc: Topsy, twinskenny

10mm cable is okay. Don't use American standard size compare Nigeria cable size.

I did a DNA lab about 4/5years ago, the design was done in US and what they specified for lighting 10mm cable, 25mm for socket. We have to do a zoom meeting with Electrical designer for him to understand our cable rating and also localized their drawings to suit what we want.

10mm is okay sir

Termination in progress

Still in progress

KolaShangOne:
Don't do wiring ooo.. if your site is not secure.

They will steal your wires.

Na so Copper is hot cake in the market now.

Billyjim:
Hello my people, after an advice on this thread. So I ve decided to contact my technician for the qotation. Kindly assist me to review the it. Please note I have attached the qotation without water heater and qotation for just water heater installation.

Tell him to give you price for PPR for the hot line so that you can compare the two

bobkezel:
What about the pop lights?

The POP light can come after the POP and cabling have been completed.

MrDraey:
Good evening house,

I am back again with my questions.

Please can i run a POP ceiling while wiring is pending or must I do the wiring before POP?

Wiring first before POP. Make sure your house is secure before you start the cabling

Main entrance door must be in place.

Window or very strong burglary must be installed.

Remember cables is very expensive now so don't give room for thieves .

sethtsadopp:
Are you familiar with this LAGOSTA cable? That's what my Elec is suggesting but I can't find much info on it even online. He claims it doesn't have fakes unlike Coleman.
Where in the quality spectrum will you place it?

I have seen the cables in the market but not as quality as Kabelmetal and Nigerchin. I have not use it before

Lagosta came to market recently. We have so many of them in the market these days.
Witchtek
Bracom
J&B cable
BY copper
Etc

You know most of the new cables can't have fake becos there is no demand unlike Coleman

sethtsadopp:
No, Ground Floor and First floor is 3 Phase. The second floor is single. It's just the Master room that's there.

Okay

akinola98:

DEBUU:
Please I need advice . I got a new apartment but it wasn't tiled. Should I go for rubber tiles and breakable (ceramics) tile?

Since the place is not your permanent home, you can go for something cheaper and nice

Low voltage panel termination in progress

sethtsadopp:
We actually have 3 DB. One on each level.

Are they all 3-phase ?
