  1. Hi All
    you wouldn't believe it (or maybe you would) they (my GF's father) without consulting with or confirming with me went and bought the Hitachi Parallel Pump designed for 18 - 30 meter water level despite his well having a water level at 40 meters.

    I'm a bit annoyed as I have new concerns now.

    They claim it works great and that their water pressure is strong and much much better than their neighbours,

    I do have some query now about how long the pump will perform well with the strong pressure from water 40 meters lift when the Hitachi pump is designed for use for 18 - 30 meters lift.

    Would the wear and tear on the pump drawing water at 40 meters be greater and/or accelerate the pumps use by date? Should I brace myself for it to fail sooner, rather then later?

    If the pump does falter and I must make the decision to go for the right pump (I will make sure it is a Grundfos or Franklin submersible next time) can I use the PVC piping already currently installed down to the well or will I have to reinstall ?

    Cheers

  2. Hi All!

    i have just discovered the water is 40 meters below ground. Does this mean the Hitachi Model DT-P300GX (PJ) deep well Parallel Jet is with 30 meter lift. not suitable for pumping water 40 meters below ground ?

    Does this mean a submersible pump is the only choice now available to me?

    Again, many thanks to those giving ideas, suggestions and advices. It's a great help for someone like me who knows nothing about pumps and dealing with Thai people who also seem to know not much more than I do.

    Thanks

  3. I am essentially, at this stage, just trying to navigate the brands, models and capacity for after sales service etc etc. Thanks to those who have so far assisted in my limited knowledge of pumps and lack of details in terms of depth of well.

    Is one (single jet or parallel jet) better than the other. Any advantages? Disadvantages?

    Cheers

  4. Hi All

    I am a new member and I am already having some difficulties in the Thai way of doing things (and I am not even living in Thailand as yet but plan to do so soon).

    Can anyone advise me on the pros and cons of buy and having installed a deep well pump in the Surin area (North Eastern, Issan region, of Thailand I think).

    Should I buy from an industrial specialist in farming or water irrigation etc etc? If so, who in the Surin area would be very knowledgeable about deep well pumps?

    I am reluctant to perhaps buying from someone like Home Pro as I am not confident they are knowledgeable on pumps and would be more interested in their commission.

    My gut feel is Mitsubishi although I have not looked at any particular models, but someone is pursuading me to buying either a Hitachi model DT-P300GX (SJ) or DT-P300GX (PJ).

    I am not so sure what is the difference between the "SJ" and the "PJ" models. Can anyone assist me here with this subject matter?

    Cheers

    P.S.

    visiting Surin in 2 weeks time so hope to get some advice before I arrive!
