Surface Well Problems: The side of the well needs to be filled in with small stones, to prevent air and water pockets forming outside the well. (12-Jul-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

Filtration: This filtration system has three units which are made of stainless steel. Each unit runs the raw water through a different filtration agent; carbon, magnesium and an ionizer. (09-Jul-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

The valve is mounted on top of the water tank. The electric is shielded in yellow conduit. (06-Jul-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

If you have a problem like this, the water in the storage tank will not be clear, even if it is filtered. Here is a shot of cloudy water in the tank before fixing the well. (06-Jul-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

Here is a water tank with no tower, which is how I did it in the cool thai house. The downside to not having a tower is that an extra pump is needed to drive water into the house. (02-Jul-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

When water is reached a pump is utilized so that digging can continue down another 1 or 2 meters until the water is sufficient to use all year around. (29-May-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

The hand dug well is a pretty amazing feat. A hole is dug to a slightly larger diameter than the circular drainage fitting to be used. The hole will be no more than about couple of centimeters wider than the rings. (24-May-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

Here is another idea for a water tower This one is built on a bathroom, but you could also do a storage room underneath. The tower sets on top at a height of about 5 meters. The tank has about a 2000 liter capacity. (11-May-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

This is a large tower which services several small apartments and is more than what would be needed for a residential house, but it gives you an idea. The base of this one is 2.70 meters square. The height is about 5 meters and water capacity of about 2000 liters. (27-Apr-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

Here is a similar version about 2 years old. They tend to age rather quickly due to water seepage and generally look kind of ugly. (21-Apr-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

I like stainless steel tanks which come in various sizes and shapes. For a single family house I would recommend storage size of 1000 or more liters. The cheaper plastic type (which you can see in the lower right of this picture) are not recommended. They supposedly are harder to clean and have problems with algae growth. I recently priced an 1600 liter stainless steel tank for 8500 Baht including delivery. (21-Apr-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

An automatic pump of the type used for hand dug wells, this is a Fujika GF-225 automatic home pump. Good quality pumps run 5000 Baht or more. (19-Apr-04)dozerSep 28, 2011
