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 viewsIf 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)dozer

29 viewsFiltration: 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)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
