sorry my bad, i think u did mention it b4. Not a good idea also. Just relocate your pump and put it at ground floor, ez job. Not much modifications required.

Very big, you put it on the ground floor? what happen to Syabas? is your area frequent water disrupt?

yes its on ground floor, cause single story , no "upper-cement" slab/platform place to place it..

my place its LAP , piping too old, and full of shit/rust/sand/soil what ever, water pressure damn low... need about 5 mins plus to fill my toilet flush

so need a big tank to keep additional water smile.gif

@ozak

oh those kind of tank is usually used for rainwater storage can be "re-purposed" to be water tank also, but kinda hard to find suppliers and its not that cheap also.. sad.gif

just curious, your friend has 6 of those *in the picture you shared*, cause each 1 of those is considered a tank.. or your friend calculate each segment as a tank ?

oh okie using a check valve, noted smile.gif

hey guys just a dumb/curious question

let's say i got 2 tanks..

1 on the roof(100gal) and the other on the ground floor(500gal)

how do i let my roof tank fill up first before filling up my ground floor tank..

i can't pipe the roof tank to fill the ground floor tank, cause that will cause all the water to fill the ground floor tank which leads the roof tank to be empty most of the time...

Never tried this before, but i guess this should work. Why u wanna do so?

The main will fill up the top tank first. WHen water level reaches the top level, it will flow down to the ground floor tank. Once the ground floor tank is filled upto the infill valve level, the water will stop. Hence, the main water will continue to fill up the top floor tank until it reaches the max level which will then turn off the infill valve and stop the water from entering the top tank.

oh damn.. didnt thought of that... hmm yeah... this method could work...

thanks, damn why didn't think of that,,

Why cannot? Just pipe out from the roof tank. Put a ball shutoff for the ground tank. When fill up, the ball will shutoff. The main pipe continue fill up the roof tank.
*
cannot cause the top tank will be drained first..

so like zhen said.. need to have an outlet that is higher... smile.gif then the main outlet of the top tank smile.gif

Hi guys,

I just got my key for a sub-sales 10year old DSL house. Renovation will start after CNY.

The water pressure is "OK" for now. But has been planning to 'upgrade' my master room toilet with bathtub and normal instant heater. Here are some of my questions, hope can get some advice.

1. The house is vacant currently, the meter reader is the same since the 1st time i walk in until today, (more than 2 weeks), so do this means that the house no pipe leak?

2. The risk for installing Grundfos pump, is possible that the original pipe cannot take the pressure and cause water leak on the join?

3. Do Grundfos pump required yearly maintenance?

Thanks
*
1. no leak for now.. smile.gif 1 year 2 years down the road.. what pipe are they using ??

2. there is a high possibility for that.. especially at joints.. and where the thread met outlets/shutoff valve...

3. not sure not using gfos..
