SAFETY FIRST Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 48 minutes ago, Moonlover said: That may well be true in some areas. My wife's friend has her tank elevated (to the base) by around 20 feet and has never had that issue. We lived here for over 2 years with neither tank nor pump and from that experience I was able to assess that we would not have the problem you mentioned. But it's good that you pointed it out for other's benefit. A neighbor of mine bought a pump from lazada, he would fill a big bucket up from his outside tap and transfer the water to his above ground water tank using the pump 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hammer2021 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 So a utility company is maintaining services and the OP is complaining? Would the OP prefer that they didn't carry out essential maintenance work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo1968 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 It's not the water being off that's the problem it's when the water comes back on along with sand that blocks and eventually causes leaking valves. Note, I live in a small rented house, one of 3 and where the owner has his own house. House is outside of a small town. I use my own 5 litre water bottles filled at a friends water selling plant at a cost of 5 baht per bottle, delivery 32 bottles as and when req, so when water is off can use for drinking and shower (( if need be ).
