31 viewsI 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)dozer

30 viewsHere 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)dozer

29 viewsOne other thing to note. A well should not be dug within a meter of the house. This shot shows a well within about 40 centimeters from a house and also you can see the gaping holes around the well due to settling. The settling around the well can further cause a lot of problems for the house structure, for example wall and flooring cracks. (28-Jul-04)dozer

28 viewsWhen 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)dozer

28 viewsHere 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)dozer
