  1. Sorry I cant find the hand held shower head I referred to but beware of the misleading ads that state "high pressure". Sure the smaller the holes gives a higher pressure squirt and yet they also give a stated operating pressure about 9psi. But some also are rated about 4psi and there are some rated for camping R/V low pressures. Again- suggest you go for the smallest almost-not-visible holes. Good luck.
  2. My header tank pressure is just 8psi, and manage quite well with a shower head/rose with 300 extremenly fine holes. Six rows of five = thirty groups of ten very small holes that are in triangular patterns, and I dont reckon you'll achieve a longer throw any other way. The 300 holes are about 0.2mm dia max. and throw about 1.5 metres. The face is 60mm by 35mm (mid length) in a tapered squarish design. Hand held. If you cant get them, try modifying the smallest hole shower rose you can buy and start applying small silastic beads to selected spaced holes (perhaps on the inside of the disc depending on design) and the remainder holes will throw longer. Experiment by blocking more and more till you are satisfied. NO a pump will not give more water volume/flow thats not there in the first place ! With or without a pump It simply needs much smaller holes. Bought two at local hardware store, one for solar hot water and the other for the gas emergency shower heater which has some flow restrictions so produces less throw, but is better than a cold shower. Keep in mind blockages othes have spoken about.
  3. Ah now thats the best solution especially in this world at the moment. ❀️. Thanks NanLaew.
  4. Yes agree, simplicity is ok, except when living far from help or peak hour Bkk traffic, or existing health challenges, or getting older and needing closer watch on ones health to seek better informed medical decisions/actions. E.g. on B.P. meds? then it goes too low or not low enough? got a pacemaker? need one? got suspected asthma? Suspicions can save lives, versus complacancy can be a killer. My cardio tracer device saved my life because my doctor then learnt about the intermittent conditions. These comments could save lives? B.T.W. The 1000 baht watch I referred to above, claimed body temperature, but after measuring mine, the table cloth and a block of ice read the same. The blood pressure was a bigger lie. Not possible!
  5. Why dont you just buy one of those 1000? Tbht watches that tell you everything including your blood pressure and your mother in laws maiden name and how many fleas on your dog?πŸ€ͺ I'm only joking friends, but the Chinese makers are serious liars. My B.P. machine is A & D Japan and spot on with the more professional machines. Only after some 8 years a leak developed in the tube connectors inside that needed some silicone sealant and continues on faultless. Are you aware of the amazing cardio trace monitors? that show basic beautiful sinus rhythm traces and held with one hand pressing against heart/chest? Leads are available for extra measuring. Probably among the most economical is Heal Force. Model Prince 180B. About $130 Au Also how about the oxygen level meters? "Pulse Oximeters". Clips on to finger. As good as the hospitals use. So with a B.P. machine, a heart trace monitor and an Oximeter what more could you want?πŸ˜€
  6. Mmmm, you could have a point there but more often when wires touch, a minor arc causes welding of the 2 copper contact points? or worse still the melting copper leaves too wide a gap to possibly touch again and theres an open circuit anyway?? Just thinking. What do you reckon?
  7. Agree Couchpotato, its getting on a bit. But was yours actually tripping a mains circuit breaker or the ELCB? I'm trying to understand how the heater would have too high a current without showing signs like shorting, sparking or other major stuff. Just thinking.
  8. I forgot to add that if its only been happening lately like you said, it puts more suspicion on the water heating element being electrically leaky which is more likely to trip the RED earth leakage circuit breaker or residual as sometimes called. It only needs a small current to do this but again:- thats the red breaker. FWIW, It trips the ELCB when a small current passes from the faulty heater element to its case, then to the metal unit and via a good earth and not via the person in the shower to earth. If the unit wasnt earthed, with a wire or even copper pipes, the person could get quite a shock that would surely trip it and be saved from more shock.
  9. Crossy is on track in asking for the Kw rating of the heater and> is it the blue mains breaker? or the red Earth leakage C/B? and> if its the main breaker it could be hot from nearly overload and/or> tripping early being faulty. But consider this > If the water heater is perhaps 6kw then the current would be peaking/cycling at 25 Amps (some are as high as 6,8kw rating) and hopefully the house wiring being used is not just typical 10Amp, and youve also got some pretty serious C/B on the right so the total amps could be stretching the friendship on the 63 Amp blue mains breaker, even if its not faulty to be "tripping early". The very nature of the water heater element construction may have small electrical leakage and be intermittently tripping the red one?, Perhaps not since you havent reassured us about which one> Blue/red? If your water heater model is excessive in power rating?, consider replacing with as low as a 1.8 kw model? especially for being kind to the house wiring as well as "avoiding" the tripping. (see below.) If the installed unit is too high powered, even though the temperature setting is just right for you, it is surely cycling full on then off etc, and the on cycle means a high a current and could be the culprit adding to when the a/cons are possibly cycling on/off too. Regardless of their nominal Kw rating, the start current of their compressors are typically 6 times (momentarily) their running current, and adding them up (when they coincide) will surely trip the blue mains C/B. Be aware about the A/Con stated ratings. Sure there is the electrical k/w rating, but they often proudly boast the Kw heat/cool rating (like a BTU rating) which is about 4 times the actual electrical rating because of the COP. Coefficient Of Performnce, i.e. the efficient ability of evaporation of the refrigerant to transfer British Thermal Units of energy from outside to inside of house or viceverca. The electrical k/w rating is the go but there are the peaks as above. Hope this helps your chosen, thinking, electrician and do let us know red or blue, and the size of the water heater hey.
  10. Wait a bit, isnt it always wise to leave some in the tank (75mm?) to ensure the bacterial action stays active? otherwise, bacterial chemicals or a dead cat is needed to keep it that way? Dont allow antibacterial chemicals in the tank, even bleaches down the throne to clean its U tube water trap.
  11. Mmmm but there is that saying that "nothing is really taught until it is learnt" because hey, we have humans here. Same goes for all religions? Feel sorry for the poor dogs hey. 😞
  12. Yet another attack !!! Lack of training !!! RUBBISH!!!!!! It's inherrent in the breed and they all need medicine:- a lead pill.
  13. Ronster asked :- So how was the audio leaked or is phone tapping allowed here? NanLaew replied:- Leaked by Hun Sen. That's how. Ah and Ive heard (very approximately) it was a lot of sweet talk about:- "anything you want Hun Sen". Maybe the conversation is on line somewhere?
  14. Oh what a beautiful creature. Just love big cats. Hope it and its mates survive but not injure anyone.
  15. There is a footpath in the video, and even though the motor bikes take up so much of that space, there is a narrow track behind them. Seems like they carelessly trod the wider path .... on the road. Doesnt mean the driver can hit and run. 😟 Sad sad sad.
