oh ok, my apology, i thought you were referring to a wall receiving the direct sun. if it shaded, then any insulation would have least to no effect.

i think tackling the issue at the root is better than neutralizing the problems that the issue had brought along. i'm not referring to the sun here. hehe once the heat are trapped in the walls or ceiling, the house will be in constant heat. whatever actions that we take, turning on AC or fan, it is only to lower down the heat. in a long run. AC in particular will have to work harder in order to bring the temperature down.

thanks guys, my wife and i escaped almost unscathed, some scratches on my knees and bruises for my wife. thanks for the pre-filter recommendation.

i think should be rockwool board. http://xhslink.com/C/IAiEfF something like this, not sure if its available cheaply in Thai, but ill be importing in from China. am trying to find something easy to install, especially on around the windows.

haha why are people here so amusing. you can check out sub forum here.

thanks mate for sharing. sorry for the late reply as was involved in a road accident and followed by religious retreat. what is that filter and its purpose? i was checking out King Watsadu, and similar filter like this cost almost 5k baht. i checked online, this is likely a pre filter. another qns i would like to ask, does polymer tank really prevent growth of algae and moss? i have a black tub in my bathroom, moss and algae will grow in just a few days after cleaning. the bathroom is expose to little sunlight and is warmth most of the day.

can you share where is the massage place? i'm mainly going to town for the famous Kon Hen Kuay Zay (opposite Town Shrine) with my wife, and the occasionally Sunday Walking street. The golf driving range is now open everyday except Sunday and rainy days.

yes, please. no harm in getting more ideas on the variation of system. are you having any filter installed in your system? i just noticed that there are some sandy sediment at the bottom of my tub. grundfoss is expensive stuff mate.

great that you know how to do these on your own. i hope to hands on myself on how to install the pump system next time.

oh thanks. didn't realise there might pose a problem of rat chewing into the pipe. thanks for the advice. i'll probably take note of that when i decide to install the pump system.

1) only the bedroom are installed with air conditioner, and one side of the wall is east facing, which can trap heat throughout the day. 2) yes, there is a false ceiling below the roof itself. when i checked the roof through the service duct, i realised that there was some aluminium sheet installed under the roof tiles. 3) the space is roughly 2m from the apex of the roof, decreasing towards the edges of the roof. i got the 2 inch duroone 0.6 x 4m insulation wool from homeone and man, it did make significant difference to the temperature within the living area in the house. however the east facing wall still trapped heat, so my next home improvement project is the insulate the wall.

thanks. its already included in the system. however i am putting this project on hold, as i decided to insulate my roof.

am looking into it, however it would appear challenging as i have only less than 70cm width walkway.

yes sir. im apologise for not sticking to my OP after thorough consideration. i thank all those whom had contributed to the thread, and these contribution will not go to waste, as it will serve as notes for my future home improvement.

hehe the issue is that i dont find the comfy shower is worth it. interesting proposal, ill go take a look at the sump pump method.

thanks for giving me a piece of your mind. my main consideration is whether the money will be worth my comfort and anything else. as i mentioned earlier, my wife and i come back to this home for vacation for only once or twice a year, so the pump and tank will be idling for most of the time. we will probably be shifting back here permanently in 15 to 20 years time. also during my past 3 weeks of stay in the house, i realised there exist another issue, which i think calls for more immediate remedy. the house is so warm even late into the evening, and the east facing wall are warm through the night. it was then i realised the house is not insulated against heat. hence, i made the decision to insulate the ceiling instead, and carry on the trash can and scoop method for twice or thrice a day. it certainly make more sense, as we get to feel the difference throughout stay in the house, or extending the longevity of the furniture and appliances through the years. my next home improvement next year would be getting form panel to install on the east facing wall. no idea why the east facing wall is having more trapped heat than the west facing wall.

thats illegal right? i just read somewhere in this forum.

thanks for the explanation. i understand the 1st table, but not the 2nd graph. btw, are you a experienced plumber yourself. you seems very knowledgeable and familiar with these technical know how. anyway, im having 2nd thoughts on installing a full tank and pump system, as this house belongs to my wife, and we only come back once or twice a year. it was an impulse thoughts, when there was sudden interruption in the water supply. nonetheless, the issue of low water pressure remains. it would be another 15 to 20 years before i retire and decide to stay here permanently. so i am currently considering getting just a pump to temporary mitigate the issue, something less than 2k baht, even if it breaks down while we are away. what do you think? im currently looking at these automatic pump https://oursuggest.com/best-automatic-water-pump/

that's what the plumber said, but he also mentioned, the tank doesn't cost that much in the first place. the house is less than 5 years, and i believe all are PVC piping, so there shouldn't be too much deposit, right? also, i tested the pressure on the tap nearest to the meter, i can place my thumb over the tap and stop the flow, so i guess the water pressure is weak. thanks for the suggestion, i will keep that in mind to leave some space for a filter. i read somewhere that someone put another filter at the kitchen sink to get drinkable water. i'm not sure of the quality of the raw water, and how much filtration we need process, before to make it into drinking water. but at the moment, i'll try to settle the water pressure issue first. thanks for the advice. thanks sir. i found another video suggested similar advice as you, using a 1" or 3/4" pipe from the main to the tank pump system, and taper down to 1/2" after the pump. i'll definitely insist the plumber to do just right that. thanks again.

see attached photo. that is the only length i can work with, as the rest are under the concrete. we have yet to check out the drainage right beside it, whether there is any water pipe, as it's cemented. however, I don't see any water pipe at the walkway drainage leading to the backyard. thanks for the suggestion, i'll check with the plumber whether it is possible and capable to do that. but i reckon the only part that i do a pipe up sizing would be the section running back and forth to the meter, right? all PVC sir

thanks for reminding. the video is actually quite informative. anyway, got a plumber look at the area. he said the only cut he can make to connect the pump system will be at the gate, where the meter is, as there is no sight of any exposed water pipe. and he will have to run a 10 metre pipe to the backyard through the drainage where the pump and the tank will be installed. i thought this was quite ingenious as there will not be any exposed piping on the car porch or the side walkway. from the tank >> pump, he will have to run another 10 to the front of the gate, and connect back to the main. i am not sure the laying of back and forth (10 m from main to tank, 10 m from pump to main) will cause any dip in the pressure output by the pump. any advice?

haha like all murphy's law..... the water supply got cut off from 12pm to 8pm today for maintenance. luckily we filled up a bigass pail of water last night. yes we had a big pail placed in the bathroom, as the shower head pressure is too weak. anyway, i saw this video from youtube. for sharing.

thanks all for the advice. i thought i posted a reply, apparently it didn't. @sometimewoodworker power supply at the area seems stable, didnt encountered any long interruption, other than 1 stormy night, where there is intermittent stoppage of electricity, and it was resumed almost immediately. though the chap at King Concrete did advised on installing a bypass. @OneMoreFarang One issue is that I can't for sure determine the size of pipe, i'll go meausre that later. so i guess the best next step is to get a plumber to check on what are the exact issues ie. clogged pipe, size of pipes, and what is the best solution. @Crossy @soi3eddie thanks guys, from th schematic diagram, i managed to trace the picture to teakwood, and was able to see some pictures on the underground tank installation. looks like a great solution for me if the tank is to be installed at the front yard, rather than the backyard.

I'm at Sisaket, one of the ampher, where the water pressure is kinda low. I am thinking of installing a water pressure tank with a motorised pump to increase the water pressure in the house. Here are some info on the pipeline system pressure. The water meter is at the gate, and the tap which is beside this water meter has the highest flow. There are altogether:- 3 outdoor water point 1 tap at the gate (strong) ------ despite strong flow from the tap, the spray pressure is average when i installed a high pressure water spray gun (non-motorised). 1 tap at the car porch (ok) 1 tap at the rear of the house for laundry (meh) 3 indoor water point 1 master bedroom toilet with 1 shower, 1 basin and 1 toilet bowl (dripping) 1 common toilet with 1 shower, 1 basin and 1 toilet bowl (meh) 1 kitchen basin (meh) my main concern is the water pressure in both the toilet, as there is not enough pressure for a good shower using the shower head. There are only 2 adults living in the house most of the time. So my questions, Which part of the pipeline system should I install the pressure tank? I had checked through the house and can't really find any water exposed pipe, nor it is in the drainage system. The only visible pipeline is at the main. How many HP should I get for the pump? I saw a promo previously at King Concrete selling a set of 1 HP 370 Watt pump and 1000 L tank for 4000 baht. The staff was telling me that it is only able to give enough pressure to 1 toilet. But I am not too convinced with his advice. Hope someone can advice.
