I think 700ltr tank is sufficient with a 150 watt automatic water pump, unless you're in an area that experiences frequent water supply outages. Then you may want to consider a larger tank and having the number to a private water supplier would be handy also.the-monk wrote:Good day to all., Here is my situation, it s a small thai style house with 2 bathrooms, single story, 4 adults, no kids.. what tank size should I get ?
I see the blue plastic tanks all over the place in my area . Are the blue plastic tanks the best ? I have noticed that the neighbour s tank (looks like a 2000 litre blue plastic tank) sits on a 30-40 cm concrete base/slab … what kind of base is required ?
Your tank is effectively solar heated. The earth acts as insulation (below 6 ft earth would act as a cooler). So, it makes perfect sense that your water runs hot. You didn't state it, but it runs really cold during cold season after it cools overnight, then warms up considerably by noon, right?RLTrader wrote:Hmm, I must have thin blood or is it thick? My stainless 1100 liter tank gets sun from early morn to around 3PM, I take a shower at anywhere between 10 and noon, sometimes as late as 4 or 5, and still run the hot water. Maybe its because my pipes run under ground? But anyways the cold is cold.
You lost me there, KHONDAHM. Guess what I was trying to say was that I still need to use the water heater, even during Hot weather, and that the tank gets direct sun most of the day.KHONDAHM wrote: So, it makes perfect sense that your water runs hot.

Shade the tank and the temperature will fall to ambient.

Hi tamtamada wrote:Seeking advice from members about installing a water storage tank and pump as a backup supply.
The house is a 4 bedroom with upstairs, 3 bathroom with one of the bathrooms upstairs.
What size tank is recommended as well as the rating for a pump sufficient to run this lot?
Anyone know a local chap with a good reputation for installing such a system?
Many thanks,
