Construction in Thailand Is building in Thailand as bad as it seems? Can properties really be built and fitted out to European standards? Would you like to Build your own house in Phuket, or a swimming pool in Bangkok? Solar water heating in Pattaya? Or maybe you want to build a resort or guesthouse on Koh Samui? If you want to build a luxury house in Thailand then this is the forum for you.

I doubt you would get a work permit for any of those occupations in Thailand.

Where does all my poo and pee go? I have a suspicion that the two little lids set in the concrete outside the kitchen door has something to do with the answer, but I don't know exactly what.

I recently bought:

5K on a water tank
6K on a 255 Mitsubishi pump
14K on a water filter
3K on two fuckwits to drive out and hook it all up

All was well until I noticed a week ago the pump (in the shed) turning on about every 2 minutes. Just for a second. Then off. Even when no water is runing in the house.

I noticed the installers put the system in at very high pressure. I wonder if the pump is trying to maintain the high pressure even when nothing is drawing water. No visible leaks in the plumbing.

Any thoughts?

Dalton suggested a cheapish draw-back valve ( or something like that) to stop the pressure from starting the pump again. Anyone have one of these?

Elec bill was slightly higher this month compared to usual.

Do you have a pressure tank?

What settings does the pressure switch have? (Cut in, cut out.)
