Was trying to figure out how that would work too. In both houses in Bangkok, we have a check valve system installed together with the water tank. The pump is an on-demand pump, and will only work if the demand pressure is lower that the mains, and the check valves ensure I'm not pumping back into t...

If you have a tank and mount it above round the tank needs to have nontransparent walls in order to inhibit the growth of algae. I discovered this when I purchased a tank that looked like a DOS tank but was half the price. When it was delivered, I noticed I could see light through the walls. It did...

Mine is underground and measures 8mtr x 4mtr x 2 mtr - no, we've never had a water supply problem :D Wow, that's huge! 64 cubic metres, is that a common size? The houses I've lived in had tanks of only a few thousand litres, and I always thought that was the norm. Not surprising that there is a wat...

Anti-islanding simply means that the inverter stops grid-feed-in when the grid experiences abnormal conditions (frequency/voltage) and/or in the event there is a complete power outage. The purpose of this is to protect line workers or electricians who may be trying to make repairs to the grid. This...

Solar panels, and a second invertor, can be added in the future as savings from solar become available... I'm glad you highlighted this problem with grid tied inverters and power outages because I wasn't aware of that. I've been having a read on the net and it seems a second inverter is a cost effe...

Yes, the 'on-Grid' or 'Grid tied' inverters, stop/cut out, when the power grid is lost. This is intentional and is purely for safety reasons. Ah, no, it is nothing to do with safety. To operate, an inverter of any flavour, needs a reference frequency. Grid tied inverters get their reference from th...

Maybe my non-tech description, but our pump is between the tank and the house i.e. all water goes via the tank,

Yes, that is the correct method.

Lack of mains water pressure aside, the amount of crap that comes with it should make you ensure that the water ALWAYS goes first into some form of storage, preferably under ground, so that there will always be some chance of getting topped up, and the crap can settle out. Note: apart from being ill...

That posted article does not really make it clear: without a battery bank the invertor is called a "grid tied" inverter, regardless of whether or not it is a hybrid. It is called "grid tied" because it cannot function without a connection to the Thai power grid, PEA or MEA. The m...

......Temperatures could reach 43°C in the North, 42 degrees in the Central Plains, 41 degrees in Greater Bangkok, the Northeast and the East and 40 degrees in the South on Monday, the weather office said...... ......The National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand said on Monday that the S...

The shortest life span, and the most expensive to replace, are the batteries. Many variations can affect their life span, starting with the intial quality of them. Right now Lithium-ion are the best option, but with continuing development in the technology, there may well be better options in the fu...

Thai drivers have absolutely no concept of speed, reaction time, braking distance, or driving to suit the prevailing conditions. Just as they have no concept of looking at the "big picture" of what is going on around them. It goes much further than a simple "me first" attitude. A...

We have these "Esssex Girls" type in Australia also. Not sure where they get the"drop toilet" from, as I have never seen any toilet that goes in any other direction! .....................................................................................................................
