guzzi850m2 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) My water pump for the house is giving us problems, its losing suction (sometimes) despite the 2000 l tank is full and keeps on running and gets really hot. Then I leave it to cool down for an hour and it might be working fine for 24-48 hours and then it looses it again. The pump is a Hitachi WT-P 255v type pump and it is app. 5 years old. The pump was bought new then and moved with us when we bought a bigger house. You can buy this pump type many places in Patts; like HomePro and similar places but they only sell the pumps and are not really interested in repairs unless it under warranty. Anybody here knows a place where they can either repair the pump or buy our old pump and swap for a new. I know the Thais are quite good at keeping things running even when they are old.

doggie888888 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Ask any of the Homepros or Numchais etc that sell Hitachi pumps. Tell them you bought it there and need the number of the Hitachi service center and they willingly provide it. I haven't kept the number, sorry. The guys come fairly quickly. They taught me how to prime up the old pump next time I had a problem....had to open a valve and poured in water and all was well again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saengsureeya Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I did have the same problem with my pump............didn't stop running, got really hot and the tank was full. After bringing the pump several times to a shop in Jomtien, we found out (with someone from the shop) that the water-inlet (in the tank) was blocked by sand and soil that got into the tank through a small hole in the tank. After cleaning the tank, or at least the water-inlet, the problem was solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had nasty experiences with both shops, one involving a brand new water pump. I now get all maintenance and repair work done by the guy who provides such a service to the Pig & Whisle on Soi 7. His name is Joe and his mobile number is 0819822036. He and his lads can fix anything and have never had cause to complain. He recently overhauled my aircon and charged 600 baht including for the new parts. I take all my Bosch tools up to BKK and let Bosch overhaul them, a service that they have hitherto provided for free.

Not very polite, will never go there again. Found a small shop in Naklua and as always in Naklua the Thai/Chinese shop owners polite and helpful, got another phone no and the pump man will come tomorrow morning. If he is no good I will try your guy, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzi850m2 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 After I been speaking to a couple of "pump men", we decided to get a new pump for two good reasons: The 255W pump is slightly too small for our house so its struggling sometimes. An overhaul of the 255W pump will cost something like 2500 bath (new impeller - O-rings- new bottom part & non return valve) and its rusty too. We bought a 300W Hitachi pump for 6900 bath with 5 year warranty on the motor from a pump/tank shop on Sukhumvit near the Honda car dealership.
