Impending Water Crisis??

[sirkosero]

Kamalas malasan na sira yung overhead tank at nawalan kami ng tubig. Naligo ako ng malamig na tubig sa timba at tabo. Ang hirap maligo ng malamig, dapat nagpainit ako sa takure!

I asked for an estimate and a replacement tank will cost us P32k excluding the cost of a new stand, pipes and removal of old tank I hope we don't go back to the medieval days of low water pressure. Good thing we kept our booster pump.

Cant it be repaired? Mine had a crack and i just fixed it with epoxy a few years ago. Still working.

Even with the crack we still had water from the OH tank

Unfortunately not. I asked 1 tubero and 2 different welders and they said that it's too thin and rusted to weld. We tried epoxy too, masyado malakas ang tagas

No, galvanized only. It's a very very old tank

kaya ng epoxy yan o yung masilya na pang metal. tapos lagyan mo sa loob at labas yung ginagamit pang-tapal sa mga butas na kaldero or palayok.
ganito ang ginawa ko yung sa akin. so far 1 year na pero okey pa naman sya.

Naka order na kami Nagtataka nga ko bakit tatlong iba ibang tao tinanungan ko at lahat sila sinabi na di na kaya i repair.

Mukhang ugaling "casa" na mga welders at tubero ngayon, ayaw ng repair at gusto palit. Laking gastos din kasi mas mahal pa yung new stand sa tank

Specify thicker than common commercial 304 or 316 SS for the storage tank. The welds on seams will deteriorate over time. The thinner, faster. Should you have a booster, forego the tower you can. Pair w/ a diaphram Wellmate pressure tank. You can ground-mount both.

Dapat yung stand na lang ang pina-fabricate mo.
Angle bars lang naman yan.
Pero less headache nga lang...
kaso mabigat naman sa bulsa kamo[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Yes, pwede pala yung current stand namin, liliitan/puputulin na lang nila kasi kalawang na rin

Why not try a polyethylene tank instead? A lot cheaper than standard 304 tanks and won't rust even with hard water.

it really is difficult to weld/repair a thin-metal tank, moreso if it's rusting.
there may not be enough good metal for the welder to weld into.
and even if he was successful, the tank will likely spring a leak soon, because the metal is already old and rusting.
what you can do, is what someone already said: use those metal-backed adhesive tapes that manang uses on her leaking metal pots and pans. it will last until you have saved enough for a good replacement tank.

when my old (40 years old; it came with the house!) galvanized pressure tank sprung a leak, i replaced it with a stainless tank. after over 10 years, ok pa.

Sabi wala el nino this year 2020. But.....

How can angat dam 212 meters sustain up to june sa dami ng tao metro manila plus yung dagdag na chinaman? (eh dati koreans pa lang)

Im lukewarm doon sa kaliwa dam. Tayo taga metro manila may kailangan tubig tapos mag-aangrayado ng katutubo. Malaking ginhawa ito sa true qc pero mali talaga.

Wala ba mabuibuild na mini-dam for metro manila use? (geo-yatta yohooo.)

^ a bottle or two to wash the windshield might be good enough to see. but to show 2 carts of potable water just to wash a car is insane and a complete waste of precious resources[emoji2955]

= "year 1957 pa tayo nagbabayad sa water treatment plant pero bakit ang dumi ng manila bay. Hanggang ngayon hindi sila naglagay ng treatment facilities sa harrison."

= "iyugn income tax ang pinabayad nila yung tao. Hindi sila nagbabayad ng tax

[kagalingan]

chinecheck for the past months mga dams syempre lalo na angat eh ang bawas usually .05 .10 the most .20. Pero ang usual eh .10.

So sa isang buwan ang magiging bawas eh 3 to 5meters. Kung walang water interruption eh 1meter per day ang bawas nyan. Hindi na kasya supply ni angat dam sa population. DAmi tao eh.

Yari metro manila pag summertime.

heto na
