Sirineou, sorry but there are are many facts needed before you can expect constructive answers that could save you many baht and lost time and effort. Is there dubious run off surface water entering the well? Why is the water so dirty? any idea as to the underground up-stream water source? if it happend to be in a subteranian basin? Have you been pumping from too deep? Have you considered accessable water filter/s at the outlet to the tank at ground level, if they are elevated tank/s. Why use sedementation cleaning methods that surely involve occasional flushing? especially if water drops the 1 metre into an empty tank which stirs up the sedements? Are your tank/s elevated as header tanks? if so, how many metres of head pressure? Youll need minimum of about 8psi for showers and thats about 6 metres elevation, above the shower rose, and probably a float switch in the top of the tank if you want automatic filling from the well. 1000 litres is one tonne each if you need to construct a tower/s that high, Or do you need mains automatic water pressure? wont that mean a seperate pressure pump depending on the well extraction pump? Or are the tanks at virtually ground level so you dont have that much head available?. A well pump as a simple tranfer pump will need to be monitored when filling any tanks without a float switch in the tank, to stop it overflowing. Have you had the water tested for drinking considerations? Curious as to what is the measured ph level? After these considerations above, does it seem there are some basic priorities precedeeding pump considerations?

Rather confusing info sorry.. I have an 1 rai property I bought as an investment , But below you say you are renting? need lots more relevant info alround. In the property I have a two room structure with a bathroom that I use mainly for storage. Why is that relevant? Do you Americans mean bathroom or a toilet? I have watering straight from the well. which is a pain. Why exactly? but I have been told that it is not a good idea to water straight from the well , what particular information? what "expert" said that? aside from being a pain and not good for the submersible pump, why? the PH of the water is not good, what is the actual ph reading? and that I should water from a tank. Did "someone else" mean a rain water tank? because not much will change just transferring well water to a tank. You are going to need a first pump to get it into a tank anyway? So I got two 1000 litter litre tanks. First tank will be used as a settling tank which will be a bit higher from the second tank. The first tank will be connected to the second tank 2/3rds or half way up of the way to the second tank to get get clean water. If it is muddy? it will settle to the bottom of the first tank and if the outlet is not right at the bottom, or a "L" connection inside tank is used, you wont be sucking sludge with what would need to be a second pump?, but if your usage is great and the incoming water stirs it up every time you add water to the tank. But isnt the overall sceme flawed because unless your tank is up on a stand, or up a hill, you will need those 2 pumps. If it doesnt get stirred up, an outlet tap right at the bottom could occasionally facilitate releasing mud if you can shut off outlet to the second pump that feeds the house, then stirr the mud and empty with the release tap. Some pumps specify clean water only and a pressure switch diaphram would prefer clean water? I described all the above for any opinion and or advice , Not described well sorry. But here is the question. I know very little about automatic pumps. Of course I know , wats , pressure, and That Hitachi or Mitsubishi is a good choice. But as I said this is not my home, but you said you bought it? so I was thinking for something less expensive. Youve spent too much on a flawed tanks concept as above. So I look on Lazada and see all these pumps I never heard of (Canto etc) , probably made in China, that advertise 350W and are half the price of the band name pumps . what do I need to know? quite a bit, sorry to say. Well water can be unsuitable for human consumption, and even just the ph level alone has several reasons, had it checked for bacteria? as above why the need for 2 tanks for "cleaning"?, if someone told you the ph level is so bad for a pump then why trust it to drink?. My permanent submersible pressure pump is in slightly alkalaine rain water tanks for many years. It is not quite at the bottom. Acidic ph water can increase the need about a sacrificial anode in a hot water tank, are your tanks plastic or Galvanised iron? Why does your particular well water need settling? if its muddy are you pumping too deep from the bottom of the well? how deep anyway? what is the source? is it "down stream" from next doors septic system? P.S. I'm not an "expert" (former spurt) as in your last posted question, but am a drip under pressure. and prefers not to mention that name "Trump".

Absolutely tastefully beautiful thanks "StayinThaiand". But where? Poot len len, just joking.

Yes Mike, here we go again, just standing back and watching/laughing another 10 pages of useless arguments, akin to people-watching in the soi?, but nothing will be achieved. Maybe its all about ads as someone suggested. B.T.W. did you hear that soi dogs will soon be required to wear underware? Now wont that start another 10 page brawl?

Yes "dear" but just notice how we even get rubbished if we stand completely back from the subject only to observe/comment on their mentality and ravings. Point proven? Just watch.. 3 more days and it will be forgotten.

Yes. Loving to argue about a load of rubbish to start with, and already 3 pages after 6 hours. Wait till your suggested 10 pages in about the usual 3 days and will all be forgotten and nothing achieved. The advertisements are probably more interesting ??

Oh no!!! its a reality more than ever now for too many of those who started with consuming external substances e.g. Cannabis for:- emotional relief, dysfunctional family background, lack of self esteem etc, etc. then that drug (or maybe pharmacy gear?) becomes a psychological "gateway" to go stronger then stronger and the "addiction pit" progressively becomes steeper and deeper. The several hundreds I've worked with in the drug (and alcohol) rehab scene over many years would agree with the "gateway" syndrome as described above is NOT false propaganda and wished they had heard about that worthy motto :- "N.E.O. not even once". The ratio of addiction used to be about 20/80% D/A, but tragically that's probably reversed now.

Bandersnatch said:- I drive my EV on excess solar power after I have powered my house and charged my solar batteries. I charge my EV from its dedicated panels and no battery is needed for that inverter*, whilst the house battery is charging from its own dedicated panels. *Dont trust the Queenswing inverter company claim that no battery is needed. I bet you love driving your EV too? Who cares much what they look like. and yes I took a picture at a supermarket park, not at Starbucks, but because 2 other EV parked beside mine.

And a gateway to much more ugly addictive drugs.

So what happens when they get into their cars and drive?

Thats close enough thankyou Brian. Any closer and one would most likely spew. Can almost make out the Adam's aple and remember tho old saying"- "Where there's an apple there is usually a banana".

You beat me to it John. Amazing the priorities people have in life. Oh well each to their own. Is there a warning for tourists printed on entry to L.O.S.? Maybe the Chinese tourist though it would be a "chick magnet" and he attracted more than he bargained for. . "A fool and their money are soon parted".

There are sooo many good curved designs for protective sunglasses and am surpised a doctor would first suggest just a hat which is better for protecting the ears and face but not the eyes. How about a decent pair of polaroids? Just for a smile, did you see pics of the 2 lady chinese? tourists who chose woven rice cooking baskets for a hat and were walking in a soi market place and oblivious about all the pics being taken.

Dont be so short sighted. The day is coming when I.C.E. cars will also be likewise because fuel will be really short from barricades of certain fuel ships supplying certain nations by you know who. But then food shortages will be catastrophic too.

Quite often things "happen in mysterious ways" needing skeptics to eat their own words, so even if this was fake news, lets hope if ever Oz999 is guilty of being a "fool" and is the receiver of a similar heartwarming gesture, there will be a another glimmer of hope for humanity and goodness knows we need this more than ever. B.T.W. what a different outcome to the recent ASAEN NOW article about the empty wallet found in the street and that good samaritan was temporarily in hot water.

Stay with it DUNROAMIN, even though petrol stations will inevitably have less bowsers and more E.V. chargers meaning all the more for the E.V. owners who might need it, (not me) and all the less for the likes of you. Again: please stay with it DUNROAMIN.

Let the adamant non-involved detractors ignorantly argue on as usual. My E.V. suits me really fine. 9000km now in 11 months, no petrol bills, no power bills, charging off grid at home, 24 dedicated older solar panels and no house battery involved, but two backup sources are available, no I.C.E. idling like in Bkk traffic, no stop/start petrol guzzling, no concerns about guzzling in upcountry hills etc etc. Think about it you I.C.E fans; only about 18% of your petrol bill is useful. My E.V. battery will probably last 2 more years than the 8 year/100,000km warranty, but DKDC "dont know dont care" because I'll not be driving then. OMG who knows the potentially scary future then anyway? Mostly careful to slowly charge at 6A to 15A to about the recommended 80%. In the mean time its absolutely beautiful to drive, never ceases to amaze, and the cooling air con only subtracts 14 km from the range.

Well said. No-one will probably read this dead discussion now but my Thai sister in law goes one better:- "get real, because when you are hungry, everything is arroy". delicious. For me Thai food is still the best.

Ah yes RocketDog that is more plausable. Methane is an odorless, colorless, flammable gas. and its density is about half that of air and had there been a vent it might not have been there in the tank, so it had been leaking into the kitched for yonks just waiting for someone to braze over that gap. What bad luck. . . (The flamma­bil­i­ty lim­it of the gas is a con­cen­tra­tion in air from 5 to 15%.) So the householders actually may never have smelt H2S, and the fridge technician may have only smelt and blamed H2S after the disruptive explosion but the real culprit could have been CH4 methane.

Siftasam, please fast track me to your best suggested links to two songs on your list because as you say:- Osaka Jazz Channel on You Tube. It's a large channel, #1. the photographers song:- "Some day my prints will come". #2. that Thai astronaut song:- "Fry me to the moon" I'd only heard of two kinds of music before:- Country, and Western and because you say "Now you has Jazz", so please open our ears to the stuff you like.

Agree Brian. And the brazing equipment was on the tank lid, the hissing was probably the expanding start of burning of the H2S in the tank, which got too much so then half that lid lifted in the following fiery explosion. Its a wonder a small stinky leak hadnt been detected before but "H2S is slightly denser than air", and "Hydrogen sulfide (also known as H2S, sewer gas, swamp gas, stink damp, and sour damp) is a colorless gas known for its pungent "rotten egg" odor at low concentrations. It is extremely flammable and highly toxic." So if no vent, the toilet was flushed, a slight buildup of tank pressure pushing H2S slightly upward, through a gap in the cover, no floor coverings there, bad timing, the brazing tech got burnt, and the rest was history except for the ongoing blame dispute. Sounds feasible to me but at the start the story had so many incongruencies.

So she for this supposed "immoral" act in trying to make a living, and her arrest led to even one day in that prison for example, where someone we know spent only hours when it should be what... 8 years?, we know what wouldn't happen if she too feigned a medical reason to be transferred to a hospital. What used to be the L.O.S. :- maybe change the S to S.S. (sickening stupidity?) OMG Thailand, whats happening?

Good one and how about another one "Found it before it was lost"? Both hardly applicable here.

Whether it's lawful or not in Thailand, the words above sadly seem inapplicable given so much high level corruption "seems to be" happening lately in L.O.S. Developed countries have an "innocent until proven guilty" policy but AboutThaim's g.f. luckily dodged jail? when she handed in an emptied wallet to the p.p. Mmmm.. the Dane quickly went to the disabled toilet and they are more likely to be vacant, isolated and quickly locked. The Dane has Done his Dash?

Regardless, a discarded wallet would be a pretty sure sign its been emptied of cash like the near miss with the p.p. as AbouThiam shared with us about his g.f. , but then how about the many heart warming posts where several Thai taxi drivers have actively sought out their last passengers to return their dropped cash in the taxi? Decisions decisions.
