Water storage in the garden

[Red Jet]

I can also assure boloa that there was nothing unsuccessful about this mornings 'jump start'   

Looked at your map CC but I couldn't see any  damp patches around Prakhonchai area,very wet for me though this morning   

I wonder if Nookiebear is have a Ham Shank and pee soup special today

I also drink mostly stored rainwater when at home, perfectly good water and FREE

We have about 30 of the large pots around the house, this lasts most of the year, though in the dry season we sometimes get someone to fill them from a local well.

Never paid a penny for any water in Thailand (apart from the above), I'm glad I don't live in the city with the "Government water"

Nok woke me up this mornoing " Honey ,no have water "

I go out to the water tank and the pressure pump is red hot.With all this rain we've had the damp must have shorted the pump and burnt the motor out....Bugger 

Turned a valve and now the water is coming direct from the well pump,sorted 

We both jump in the shower and then back to bed for an hour or so   

Then got up and took the pump to be fixed,one benefit of having 2 pumps Nick .you never have to panic

Perhaps Nok has 2 farang husbands!

Maybe she has a "chester drawers" full of farangs!

I bet she's one of those 49%   

I won't draw any more money out for her then

Hi

We also have ong jars but I've never dared to drink from one yet
After several bouts of stomach upsets I try to avoid another an I'm sure the water in ong jars aren't farang friendly lol

Ive decided with th advice given to go with my tank on the ground and to replace the pump.
Also it seems that the steel tanks are best too so in the next year I'll replace the blue plastic one I have an also get a filter system.

When I replace the tank I would like to move it away from the house next to th well pump in the corner of the garden however this will mean a more powerful replacement pump to push the water the extra distance...

Is there anyone around prakhonchai that can advise on the right pump/setup ??

Does this person have to speak English to you, or can a Thai do this for you?
