QUOTE(one1002 @ Oct 25 2015, 12:14 PM) Ya, if you see in the picture, the arm is already bent twice.. I bent it before installing.. However, even I bend it further down, it still will overflow, double triple check the pelampung, no water leak from the main pipe to the tangki, ceiling is not wet, no water dripping from the pelampung.. anyway, i tried your suggestion, same thing haha.. bend it more like up to 60^ anglesince it doesn't have any adjusting screw, that's the only way to do it or you can open up the valve and change the rubber diaphgram inside that round rubber thing is only 50 sen at most maybe |

the check valve is around rm 20. depending on size.
usually, this type of check valve, the spring inside corroded and not strong enough to push the plate to close the valve thus water gets into the tank from the check valve itself This post has been edited by lucifah: Oct 25 2015, 12:20 PM |

QUOTE(one1002 @ Oct 25 2015, 12:24 PM) Lol, i no idea what you talking about hahaha..still learning... Check valve = Non-Return Valve = Red Circled in the picture??? Same thing? How do I switch off the bypass? i saw your pics got 2 check valve and 2 outlet pipes, so ayam confused why you have twoSorry Lucifah for asking these, trying to learn few things before I call plumber...hahaha.. Nope, used back the bola.. Bola still useable..sudah rendam dalam air, bounced back like gila high..so still can use..check for holes or leaks, none found! =D This is what I suspect too...so I think better to change the whole set of valve right? need to understand how your piping flow is baru can give idea |

QUOTE(one1002 @ Oct 25 2015, 01:27 PM) you have two outlets which have the check valveeither one may caused the problem this is a spring check valve ![]() i always prefer a swing type check valve ![]() the spring check valve got a plastic disc attached to the spring. like some forumer said, the backflow pressure is too strong that it pushed the valve open This post has been edited by lucifah: Oct 25 2015, 05:29 PM |

QUOTE(one1002 @ Oct 25 2015, 07:32 PM) By the way, in your previous posts, you said , why you said clever? Can explain abit? hehe sorry bro..i'm intrigued to know... this setup usually means you are bypassing the water tankthe water in the tank only flows out if there is no water supply from SYABAS so if there is water supply, you get the stronger water pressure from SYABAS pumps rather than gravity feed from your roof top water tank |

QUOTE(KageBunshi @ Oct 28 2015, 12:09 AM) But if there is no water from SYABAS, the water would flow back to SYABAS main line? LOL. if it flows back to SYABAS main line, then the mter will run backwards, and SYABAS may end up owing you money of course i think SYABAS water meter is single way as well. BTW the sketch of water flow i wrong i guess. one way valve for master bedroom is wrongly indicated. |

QUOTE(ihavenoidea @ Oct 31 2015, 10:16 AM) This valve might help for my dad's place. can't promise that unless you really understand where to put the check valve and its positionCurrently the pump is pushing water to the 2nd floor to the tank, then from tank flow back down.. but the pressure is super weak. If i make a t before the tank with the outlet of the tank do you think this would help? |
