When we were constructing our second house, I went to a nearby hardware shop to buy some items.
There, a new lady homeowner came to purchase some items.
During billing time, that lady asked the shop owner for an alternative solution for the float valve. As it stops water before filling the sump.
Staying in rental property is one type of problem…
Having our own house and managing it properly is another type of problem…
This is what I noticed after we entered our first house.
Out of all the homeowner’s problems, one problem that fell under my responsibility was operating the sump valve weekly.
The float valve is a perfect solution to automate… In our case, our tap is located a little deep inside the sump.
So, if we install the standard float valve to automate my sump valve, the float valve won’t allow us to fill our sump fully…
Yesterday was Saturday, so my brother was staying at our house. So, I planned to implement my Sump automation to stop water automatically once the sump is full.
This is the same as what float valves do, but no height limit exists.
That means… no matter where your Tap located inside the sump, it can perform On/Off of tap based on the water level you set.
The same concept has been implemented in my first building but not in the second building… now recently our water man leaving too much water so we need to On and Off tap many times a week.
Some time ago, I received an email from one of my customers.
I think now is the time to share that conversation with you all so you can understand what could have happened.
Here’s the conversation on email:
–
Customer:
Hi Arun,
Can you suggest a brand and model for water pressure?
ME:
For what purpose?
Customer:
This is for getting water pressure at home for all floors. For getting water pressure in the bathroom and other taps

Listening to experienced contractors and getting their advice when building your house is common.
That’s what I also did.
I listen to my plumbing contractor and his labourers’ suggestions for a few concepts.
Looks like our contractors experimented his new suggestion implementing it in our building.
If you are planning to start your construction work, then you might have already planned a few things related to your house construction.
That’s how everyone starts. That’s a good thing only…
I just wanted to know how many of you really planned something related to Water Pressure in your building?
You don’t need to reply to this email… Just think about it yourself and be honest.
Right from my home office room window, I can see one new building construction work is going…
I may get a few ideas I could share here while watching the construction spot.
The owner is an experienced guy. As far as I know, this is the 3rd or 4th house construction he is doing.
Today, I got one idea when I saw their labourers taking a submersible pump from the sump.
Today, I wanted to share an email about the sump motor.
In Mysore, I noticed most houses use a normal 1 HP Water Pump. The motor they keep outside the sump openly to pump water to the overhead tank.
There is nothing wrong with using Open type pumps.
We even have a open type pump in our native house. Where we use just a few times per year.
Water running on the main road.
The house owner was inside the house. They are not aware of what’s happening outside…
I saw this today while I was returning from our first house to the second house through the backside door after my breakfast.
It’s happening in dad’s friend’s house.
Today at 7:13 Am, I got a call from an unknown number.
As it’s early morning… I was still sleeping, so I didn’t receive the call.
I immediately got a WhatsApp text, which I didn’t notice.
Again, I got a call from another tenant. I saw that it was our tenant. I now received a call while I was on the bed.
