flyingsaucersarereal Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 So water went out last night and now it is a full 24 hours with no water. Frustrated I have to go buy a water tank or something. Why is the water always out? What's the deal? Anyone know how much a tank is and a good place to call for installation? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabC Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) I used this lot http://pattayahomerepair.com/, the lady that seems to run the company employs good sub contractors. The tank I bought was quite expensive (8000 baht I think) as I insisted it had to be one of the UV resistant ones not just the cheaper blue ones you see. The lady asked if I wanted to buy my own and her guys fit it but I asked her to buy it, I think she charged me 100 baht on top of retail price to buy it and deliver it, I cant remember how much for installation but wasn't a great deal. I now use this organisation for all the small jobs that are a beyond my expertise. Edited March 28, 2015 by RabC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalangBaa Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Don't worry. In a few weeks time when the rainy season starts, you'll have about 6 feet of water right outside your door. Better buy a canoe already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Price of a tank depends on size of course. Simple blue plastic thing with 1 cubicmeter (m3) is around 3000 Baht. But you will need an additional pump and some "plumbing" (optinally a simple filter) Be prepared for a total of 10000 Baht. Many threads here about this. Size of the tank depends on your individual consumption vs. expected outage. Full 24h is quite a mess. I live out in the sticks and it was clear to me that we need a tank and a pump. Ironically the water supply has improved that much, that it is (almost) superfluous, at least "oversized".
