    It actually sounds like your pump pressure tank is getting waterlogged.

     

    If bleeding it fixes the issue for a while, then the only solution is a replacement tank, they're not expensive.

     

    Are you quite sure you have the correct technique for your pump, Google the pump type and "bleeding".

    Thanks Crossy, I'll look into that. I've used this technique for the bleeding:

    The pump we have is a similar Mitsubishi, actually WP-85Q5.

    "Pulsating" pumps are older technology aren't they? Maybe the OP needs a "constant pressure pump". This is what we had in Buriram. Hitachi. Very good flow and no pulsating.

     

     Our pump came with the house. It's just a single floor, 3 bedroom house. Not very big. As I understand the constant pressure pumps are quite more expensive and for larger houses? Our neighbour's have the same house and system, and don't have any problems.

     

    Thanks so far 🙏🏼

  2. Hi,

    We use a water tank with water pump for our home. We always draw water directly from the tank, so not from the municipality (that's where the tank fills from though)

    Every few days air starts accumulating in the system. The water flow starts pulsating and the pump starts working harder. It gets worse over time if we don't bleed the air out every now and then.

    I bleed the Mitsubishi pump through the larger valve on the bottom. I let the water run out for a while and then close it up again. And everything is fine for a few days until it starts accumulating air again. I'm not sure if the problem lies with the pump or anywhere else. As far as we know there are no leaks in the lipe system. That would also cause the pump to work when we are not using water. This is not the case. It's a newly built house too, 6 months old, so age is not a factor.

    Would appreciate some ideas or similar experiences regarding this.

    TIA

     

  3. A friend of mine had a health check up done which was paid for by his employer here in Thailand. E was found healthy without significant problems. But on a scan they found a very small nodule on his lungs wich was included in the report but favoured benign and no reason for further examination. 

    He totally overlooked that note in the report as it was found to be of no importance and forwarded the report with his (Thai) health insurance application. He got accepted, but received a letter 2 weeks after acceptance and initial payment, saying that they accepted coverage, but with exclusion for any lung ilnesses. When he declined, requested termination and a refund, the agent told him that this info would go into a database and other companies would know about it.

    Would this be true? Would this be even legal, considering privacy and medical info? He'd have options with other companies where no medical checks are required on application. But of course he'd have to check the "never refused/limited coverage" box in most cases.

    This privacy issue is what worries me the most as I would not like my medical info to go around.

    The four or five times that I have hired them I had no problem... agreed on a price and destination and paid them... I am sure that there are an element that are difficult to deal with... as I am also sure that Indian tourists are mostly hard to deal with as well... especially when they have been drinking.

    Indian tourist are hard bargainers... often to a point where it becomes uncomfortable. Even the rich ones. Never been to India, but they should know that it has limits here.

    Not saying the tuk tuk driver was lovely ... but luckily for him that 500 Baht is only a 10 minute ride fare ????

  5. Your best option is to visit the Labour Department near you and ask what is required. In "normal" situations work permits are applied for through the company the person wishes to work for. Since you are a private person, this must be a different process.

    Once paperwork is submitted and in order it usually doesn't take very long for the work permit to be issued. At the most 2 weeks from my own experience.

     

    Edit: I also always understood NOT to start working before the work permit has been issued.

    A VPN only masks your actual location. A password is still required to use each subscription, regardless of where in the world you are.

    Actually using a VPN will show a different IP address, so a different location. Which would then be considered password sharing. Besides that Netflix has been screening for VPN use as well the last few years. Not always successful on their side though.
