Have you checked out app support group?  I don't use either app as I'm usually on a PC.  I read where one guy uninstalled then reinstalled the app and his problem was solved.

Everything works okay if i enter TVF via browser ( Thaivisa.com ) so has to be an app issue.

Anyhooo, sent a message to Tapatalk from the Connect app ( not sure of the relationship between these two [emoji848]) anyway, see if they come back to me .

Back on topic:

Here’s The Pink Fairies version of Ventures: Walk Don’t Run ( 1960 ) taken from their 1972 album What A Bunch Of Sweeties .

Enjoy

EDIT

Ironically, i tried to play the video from this post and got “ video unavailable “ [emoji20]

The water is pretty warm when it comes out of the ground. No insulation will get it below the ambient temperature.

Here in Ayutthaya it clouded over, wind built up, thunder in the distance and then ...........................zip !!

Exactly!  But I guess there are some that have to live exactly the way they did at home?
Get yourself a bucket like in your photo, also need to clean that shower curtain shower area. Get a spray bottle some bleach and water of course there is nothing like a bit of elbow grease?
 
Also, not sure of the system all you got to do is turn the dial down.

you could use just household alu folie and glue it ot the tank, it reflects sun, heat
 
you could put up a transportable screen in front (metal, white or shiny) roof plate in a frame.
Metal frame on wheels, which hold the sheet. Or put a solar panel in front of it in a frame, maybe you can use some power? Well that cost more. 
 
Or connect the sheet to the wall and the wooden tank frame, then you can fill space between tank and sheet with glass(stone) wool again. They are the best for insulation, but can also put an old mattress in between. 
 
Or, it is somehow/where (BK) in Thailand , order a sandwich panel or panels to make a closed area around your tank, of course UV resistant or aluminum on outside, on the inside is polyurethaan, which insulates.
 
you could wrap the tank with glass or stone wool, though space is limited there.
 
you could have from a an old car the radiator and fan and lead water through it to cool. That will cost some more effort and time to realise and cost you more power, aswell pressure loss.
 
you could also stop the inlet of water and keep level low before that time (3 pm) and afterwards (3:30 )
fill it with fresh water. Fill it before taking shower. This doesnt cost much. Of course some reflecting material on the tank would be nice, so making a combination.
 
Also shielding the inlet pipe is effective.
I see a big blue pipe in the sun at the back, water inlet? It heats up asswell and comes in your tank.
 
Many ways to go. 

what the hell is that?
 
you could have a leading role in Walking Dead and Game of Thrones man.

Inexpensive roll up blinds often sold off the back of trucks or can be ordered to measure. Up in cool season down in hot.
 

The hot air exhaust from the extractor will have no effect as the exhaust heat will be absorbed by the ambient air well before it has time to heat the tank.  There have been several suggestions made on how to reduce the effect of direct sunlight heating the water tank. Wrapping it with insulation would block out the radiant heat, but then the water inside may be too cool. Myself, I would choose to use a sunblocking screen shade that could be lowered to reduce radiant heat or raised during the cooler weather to warm the water. 

I like that “Future Board” for cheap shade...

THis is tge reflective foil scrim.
I have half a roll left if you are in CM and you want a few metres.

Been wondering about you, too, Andrew.  Seems both threads have gone a bit quite of late.  What's your issue with YT?  Maybe we can help find a solution?  Two (or more) heads are better than one (granted, some of us are former heads now).

 

And don't forget about tutsi, who continues to enthrall us with his spellbinding yarns of flirtations.  I've experienced at least a half dozen shockingly risque and unspeakable encounters of debauchery (with my wife, of course) directly attributable to tutsi's tales of great Ulysses.

 

 

 

my YT problem is videos posted are randomly unavailable to view on Tapatalk and Connect apps .

Youtube for me plays normally, no problem whatsoever !! but via the above apps around 70% are unavailable !!

Its a weird one !!

A YT video I watched ( via YT app ) and then posted on this thread was unavailable to me !!

Whats that all about ??

For example: trying to view your Cream video ( via Connect app ) gave me this .

 
Dont agree on "unsightly" but each to there own. [emoji16]

I like hot showers, but if you really want to cool it way down, as someone else alluded to, you could install an evaporative cooler and recirculate the water in the tank. It would work just like a chiller and (if you keep the house cool) save a little on electric for the AC.

Just use a blind or curtain dropped from the eave of the roof to inside the wall.
 
The blind woukd be about 1500 baht, (like shops drop)
 
The home made way is use the black type material farmers use to shade crops etc, that would be around 500 baht. Both would shade and remove direct heat.

In our bathroom we keep a large plastic bucket with a ladle and a lid.

Very cheap and most Thais have the same thing. You get a nice cool cascade of water regardless of outside temperature.

Cheap and efficient low tech solution.

Yup, have one of those in the 3rd toilet, it’s only used for emergencies, used it a couple of times recently as water ran out and when we tiled under the pump outside.

Have to admit though it’s a good idea and could move it into my bathroom for this hot spell !!

In your use case I strongly recommend either the cheapest, it has brown paper on one side silver on the other, if you a not going to let it get wet and it should be silver side out. It is about 1,200 for 72M it may well be the best for the job
 
Or if it will get wet then the double sided silver version as I think that may be better if rained on.
 
Whatever you buy do not get anything with foam in it as that will stop or reduce any heat transfer from tank to air.
 

Just needs shade from direct afternoon sunlight. Sheet of 15mm plywood 244 x 122 (or 250 x 125) attached to/suspended from the air-conditioner condenser unit bracket. Maybe about 700 baht?
 
Paint it white (optional).

I'm  surprise but nobody suggested the correct answer. All you need to do is to wrap it in the radiant barrier film that is usually put underneath the tiles in the roof. It's very inexpensive about 2000 Bart for 72 m. 
 
It's not going to cool the water down but it will stop the water tank gaining heat from the Sun it won't look pretty but you say pretty isn't a problem.  You won't need to provide any gap between the radiant barrier and the tank itself as if you're going to get any radiation it's going to be from the warm water to the slightly cooler air the Sun is not going to heat the water tank up very much if you use that. 

Erect a roof over it to protect it from the sun

I have a water tank ( DOS 700 litres ) that gets direct sunshine in the morning for a couple of hours and then from 3 pm to 6pm when the sun drops. This last week has been very hot ( 43c today ) and leaves me with 700 litres of hot water !!

I just retired to the bedroom and took a shower, as usual, but instead of a cool refreshing shower I got a hotter than I would like shower and it set me thinking.

Is there any material I could wrap round the tank to deflect the sun, am thinking along the lines of the silver reflective stuff used in roof insulation. ??

The tank is tucked away round the side of the house and not in plain sight so appearance is not a problem.

No way to use trees for shade.

Assuming he meant T'karp ...... a large nasty poisonous centipede.

It seems as if I lost about 65 baht. Must adjust budget. What shall I cut?

Tippers, I've had to return to the UK as mother passed on. She had a good run for her money at 86 so it wasn't such a sad occasion. No laptop here but will be back by the 10th to bore everyone with more progressive rock etc. Miss you all.
