I've an underground tank in the Pattaya house and never removed the spring to my Mitsbishi pump. You could try it with the spring and without the spring and see what happens. I can vaguely remember people saying remove the pump spring, but can' remember why. Anyway I didn't and pump works fine. With the white tape: Just wind heaps on. When you think you have enough, wind some more on. The more the merrier. I always wind it on clockwise. (You may get someone to say I'm wrong, if so then wind it anticlockwise.) ????

Thai power sockets: non switched = not safe?

Hasn't got the double insulated symbol on the pump. Handbook store somewhere somewhere special. You're probably correct. -

Double insulated pumps with no earth pin. Plugs with earth pin will not fit (but there's always a way to DIY fit a plug.) -

Got a plastic bucket underneath to catch and store it. Warning: bucket must be plastic. ???? (light on for show while I took the pic. Quite nice little power sockets though.) -

I use those switchable power outlets like a manual change over switch. If one of my aquaponic air or water pumps fails, just a matter of turning one off and one on. Easy for Wifey (when I'm away) as doesn't need to plug a power cable in and take the other one out. I should have used one in the kitchen for my coffee machine as I have to unplug it after I use it as the units on/off switch is easy to bump on while cleaning up the Farang kitchen. ???? -
Netizens Blast Building A Drain Higher Than The Road

Yes, it's like those power poles left in the middle of new street builds, the other contractors haven't turned up yet. Going to be a thin layer of road base. -
Worst Joke Ever 2025
carlyai replied to warfie's topic in Jokes - Puzzles and Riddles - Make My Day!
A woman was in bed with her lover when she heard her husband opening the front door. 'Hurry,' she said, 'stand in the corner.' She rubbed baby oil all over him, then dusted him with talcum powder. 'Don't move until I tell you,' she said. 'Pretend you're a statue.' 'What's this?' the husband inquired as he entered the room. 'Oh, it's a statue,' she replied. 'The Smiths bought one and I liked it so I got one for us, too.' No more was said, not even when they went to bed. Around 2 AM the husband got up, went to the kitchen and returned with a sandwich and a beer. 'Here, have this' he gives the sandwich and beer to the statue. Then he said to the statue: 'I stood like that for two days at the Smiths house and nobody offered me anything!!..???????? -
It's a difficult decision to stop or not to stop at a crossing. I try to stop for anyone crossing the road, depending on what I see in the rear mirrors. If it's clear of vehicles behind, I stop. If I have vehicles bearing down on me behind, I tend not to stop. Times I've stopped and the pedestrians are walking on the crossing in front of me and a motorbike or car just goes round me. Better in Vietnam where you do what the locals do and pray as you're crossing a road.

Cos I don't to lead you off on a tangent, but you're lookin at this from the reflex right angle. -
Transformers look visually a lot more robust than others I have seen. Probably all good. ???? All you want to do is get the new waterfall lights working, so I'll but out and let the exAperts comment. When you finish the installation can you share how the waterfall looks with the lights on? I've got a waterfall but no lights. ????
-
The reason I asked for a picture was for all to see if you should worry about the way the lights are fed from the power. Now you mention a Pool company wired the lights and you are using a transformer. The transformers I've seen that pool companies in Thailand use are just a bare, cheap and nasty transformer, not an expensive fused and double insulated type. Maybe all is fine. ????

Did you hear that they're not going to make 12 inch rulers any longer. -
Thanks for the chart. I thought that was how they were sized as I've ordered Uniseals before, but these aren't actual Uniseals but a Thai seller equivalent. Much cheaper and seem OK. I bought a sample complete Dutch Bucket but now sourcing all the bits to make 8 more. The sample seller won't tell me where he sourced the Uniseal types from. ????

So I ordered 8 inserts. A bag of inserts was delivered but they were the wrong size. I followed Lazada procedure and got a refund. I think the shop sent 16mm and not 20mm that I ordered. I have used Chat in Thai to the supplier and sent them a pic of what I want but they read the Chat but don't respond to any messages. I wanted to use the supplier to buy the correct inserts. What I need is the name of a good supplier who responds to Chat messages as I want to be sure we agree on where the 20mm is measured. Anyone have a supplier name who answers their Chat messages?
