michlins:
sir, like I said,if you believe 40ft tank will give you the required pressure on a bungalow be willing to pay for it and I will be willing to do same for you

Of course, we all know that the higher the tank stand, the higher the cost. No one is arguing that fact. If a client wants more water pressure, s/he must be willing to foot the bill.

and I am telling you that to avoid wasting your own money, for duplex which is usually 22-23ft tall, do 25-26ft tank stand. For two storey which is around 32-35ft tall, do 37ft tank(this is the length of channels today).


But if you think and have funds to throw around, give me your desired height and I will execute

it is always worth th spending my brother. On a good day you get late for work and wants to take a quick shower, that slow h20 can be so anoyying. I have told my dad to be patient for me to fix his because now even when the water level is not up to half the tank they have to turn on the pumping machine because the water flow will be too lanimar that even a 20litres bucket will take forever.

You want me to go deeper on water supply System both in domestic and industrial system. Well it what I know but I will just explain it in simpler form

You see high rise building and sky scraper water supply system connection is a bit critical.
This is it l, most of these high building mostly have there water tank setup on ground floor and a well design transfer pump will be installed to do the job plus booster pump in each section of the building ( the explanation is much and the sep up is critical than what I can explain fully here.)
Again some also do have GIANT WATER TANK with about 12inch diameter pipe from the height of about 100ft with about 100bar pressure to supply any building around the municipal, this system doesn’t need any booster pump to get pressure in any building around bcs all building around will be tapping the water from the 12inch pipe with 1 or 2inches pipe to supply such into the building
Imaging the pressure you wi get from 12 inches pipe to 1inch pipe.
Here is the standard system
You can try visit any 4-5 star hotel or any high riise building you will get my explanation beta
Or any water cooperation around


It’s a whole lot of work ooo

Pls am interested in this kind of system, pls how possible is it to water tru 12 inch pipe to 1 inch pipe? What could be the method use in achieving that pls?

FEGEITOK:


You are right.

Sadly in this case our resident metal fabricator got it wrong.

He is not wrong...offcourse more height more pressure...he simply suggested based on experience what is " SUFFICIENT " the rest remains your definition of sufficiency and what level pressure preferred...

There are some materials needed for these operation with high skill personnel
Not “DIY” system

Agreed 100%. My current tank stand is high enough to service a duplex, even though the house itself is just a bungalow. Did it deliberately to enjoy more water pressure, especially with the shower...

Well, if u say so I agree because it sounds somehow.

I take back my words then.

He agrees that the more height the more pressure.

But he is saying certain heights and by extension certain pressure is not worth the cost.

Others are saying that they swear by the height and pressure he says is unnecessary.

Thanks

sonnie10:

Not really. It depends on the the desired pressure and the small p which is the intrinsic pressure from the tank’s content.

I have revised my position.

See my last but one post.

Thanks.

There are plenty sellers around cash street.

Price will depend on choice.

Hmmm, this may not last oo it's just a simple method of using a pvc clamp as a reducer thereby increasing the pressure.
Nevertheless, this is not 12 inch pipe as u claim oo. Kudos to you guy, ur head dey there!

Very correct. If you like carry your tank stand go heaven it will still exert same pressure or a very negligible difference in pressure...

Due to my comment as I said “ this is sample” we have many size like 4”- 20” so the materials are diff

No whaala, u r on point. It's a very unique mech technique.

That's correct sir...That's what I was getting at "sufficiency " at his preferred height is that sufficient for you "client " yes why not ....more height more pressure...extra pressure you get is it worth the extra money "client " yes or no. client pays...everything boils to if the client is getting the right advice...something I have mentioned here previously..it is vital for vendors to help clients with all the information ...

Hmm, this is too complex for residential building. I think hotels nd big estate can go into this because to get all these fittings and maintain them on the long run would be an issue. Like I said, it's a very upright nd unique water system but it's unlike the normal one we are used to in residential building everywhere.

The best I have used before POP is Amoula Ventures at Ikeja, Lagos if they are still in business. Google their address or see below.

When it comes to water pressure from overhead tank, I think all of you are correct in a way. Apart from preference in water pressure (what is satisfactory to me might not work for you), there ways to achieve a decent water pressure for shower.

It is acceptable that the higher the tank the more pressure of the water flow. I think Michlins take is the value in raising such a taller tank stand.

There are many ways to achieve "excellent" water pressure without building tower of David.

First, you must run the pipes from the tank to top most floor directly. (This is the reason why the pressure of water on the roof is better than the one on a stand of the same height.) It does not look neat but it works. Then work your way down the floors. The idea of running the pipe down first before going upstairs waste some pressure.

Secondly, you must incorporate pipe reduction to achieve better water pressure. Pvc or copper pipe reducers should not be hard to find.

In the end, you just want to enjoy shower and forget about stress.

When we start having 24/7 electricity this small thing will replace those heavy tanks
