Pump safety during construction time

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....

Open Type Pump vs Submersible Pump

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....

Water overflowing from the sump

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. As we knew of them, I informed my dad to call and inform the uncle. He called and informed them about water was overflowing from their sump....

When my water level controller stops working

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. On the other end, “Bro, water not coming…”...

Overhead water tank filter system - do you need them?

If you have some experience with tap blocking, you know why you need an overhead water tank filter system. We already had some experience maintaining taps, which was an issue in our first building. While building the second building, we thought of doing some solutions to fix tap blocking by using an overhead water tank filter. We also bought filters from Amazon… and implemented them. After using it for almost 1 year, here’s what I have to say....

Toilet Waterproofing is required?

Toilet waterproofing is a new trend. As and when technology develops, new products will come to market to solve problems. One such thing is Toilet Waterproofing. In Toilet waterproofing, they clean the surface and paint the flooring with a waterproofing solution. That paint forms rubber type when it dries. In that way, it prevents water from passing through it. We built 2 buildings. In the first building, we were unaware of it; the product was not popular then, or the product had not yet launched....

I Bought a Fake Angle Valve on Amazon

Today, we called our plumber to our house to discuss finishing our house plumbing fitting that we intentionally stopped for the past 10 months. Our plumber also visited our house today to give the list of plumbing items required for our house. He gave a list of requirements. I note down all those items. In that list, the Angle Valve is one such item. In our building, we needed too many angle valves....

Prevent Birds from Entering Through Pipes

In our first building, we kept 6-inch PVC pipes in the toilet and kitchen for ventilation and to install exhaust fans. We installed a typical 6" PVC Vent Cowl for every pipe. We installed an exhaust fan as well. No issue for a few days. Day by day, Pigeons started coming inside the pipe and started developing nests and eggs on almost all the pipes. Because of the exhaust fan, pigeons were not coming inside....

Don't Choose this type of Water Level Controller

Yesterday I was checking product sales reports on Amazon.in website. While checking, I noticed someone bought Robsync Unisync Tank Smart Device Fully Automatic Water Tank Level Controller (Wifi/Mobile App Based Automatic Water Tank Level Controllable from anywhere, anytime) Wired. Which I never promoted anywhere. Looks like some came to my water level controller guide article. Instead of buying Microtail Fully Automatic Water Level Controller with Dry Run Protection, which I mentioned in my article, they bought a more advanced, smart, and feature-rich water level controller unit....

Beware plumbing line inside the house

My dad called me on the phone in a low tone, saying, “Arun, some major issue happened. Come Urgently to the second floor….” **Before this call… ** Our carpenter came to install Soap Trays on the Toilet. My dad went with our carpenter. I and my MOM were talking outside our first floor by sitting on a chair… As it’s not a major task, I didn’t go with my dad....
