naomisri Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Anyone else low on water? We have a well, and this is the first time it's ever got low enough for the pump to play up. I know we've had an extremely dry rainy season, but I haven't heard anyone else complaining. We have more properties near us than this time last year, maybe that's it? Funnily enough we were fine during the hot Summer months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naomisri Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share Posted September 7, 2007 no idea, would have to have a look, we bought the property from someone else. My husband is the one who has looked in it and says it's really low. Maybe just us then???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wells have to be serviced yearly.Depending on the age of the well, you might get a build up of sand hindering your pump operating in an efficient manner.Most older wells . or for that matter most wells on Samui do not have a sealed pipe,hence build up of sand. Your pump will start pumping less & less,with more cloudy water.Get one of the well people.Samui Deep Well or one of the similar companies to give you their opinion.

Bluebell Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 We have a storage tank supplied by government water, no well. Noticed that the water supply is turned off very frequently now (at least 2-3 times/week), never so often last year until now. Is there perhaps a water shortage?

But power seems to be going the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lite Beer Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Hi boy, but how much does it cost to make a well?Sawadee krup! Many areas in Samui need a deep bore. Price around 200,000 Baht . I would love to be just a boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naomisri Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 The level of the water seems to be around 10 meters down? That's just a guess though... I think the well does need cleaning. Anyone know roughly how much it costs? We're going to try getting a storage tank and putting it around 3 metres up, saving electricity pumping the water this way too. Of course when we will get around to doing this all, nobody knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivaciclo1 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I wont to say, hi all, this ok? OK! however, Thank you very much to all. Sawadee Krup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfinger Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I think, in the future(will you stay there longer??), a 10 m well will not be enough, also the quality of this "water" will worsen. If you want no problems, you need to go through the rocks, depending on your location deeper than 40 /50 meters. Then you have real good water. I guess, alltogether 120- 150 KBaht.

naomisri Posted September 10, 2007 Author Share Posted September 10, 2007 Not sure if the dpth is 10 metres, but the water level at the moment looks about 10 m down - IYKWIM. Not sure about digging deeper, is it environmentally ethical? We need to do more recyling rain water etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
