Plumbing

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. She was explaining the same issue that I was facing. Her sump tap is installed somewhat down inside the sump, and the standard float valve does not allow the tap to fill the water....

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....

Once we entered our first building after house construction was over, the issue I noticed was operating the Sump Valve every week. I was the only guy who needed to monitor and operate the sump valve On/Off every time… because I’m the guy who works from my home office and stays at home. So, every week, I need to turn off my sump valve when water starts overflowing from our sump....

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. When we tested it, it didn’t work as per our expectations. Most of the suggestions given by plumbing contractors are based on their assumptions....

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. To my knowledge, including me during our first building construction, I never thought about the water pressure concept during our planning or construction time....

In this guide, you will learn some important points that you need to remember during your house construction to get good pressure water on all floors and in all taps. Most owners never even think about the Water Pressure concept at the time of planning or at the time of house construction. (Did you think before reading this?? ) They realise the water pressure issue only when they start using the house....

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. Anytime we switch on the motor, we don’t hear anything because of motor sound....
