    Problema kasi sa electric pump, kahit mahina dating ng tubig tuloy pa rin higop niya kaya resulta bilis ng ikot ng metro kahit walang nilalabas. okay lang mag pump as long as may mahihigop.

    If you have a water pump and a tank, the pump is usually set to turn off once the tank is topped off. They're not running 100% of the time, otherwise, they'd burn out quickly.

    Your bill for water usage, thus, is similar to what it would be if you were getting NAWASA water. We've had months where the bill was very low.

    Take note... we're paying 2500 pesos in electricity for the water for about 15 people, a printing press, and a canteen kitchen. Not to mention the fact that we have a bathtub in the house. And consider that when they rewired our pump a few years back, it doesn't fill our overhead tank anymore, and goes on whenever someone uses water. That's not bad at all.

    It would likely be better still if we repaired our overhead tank to give the pump a breather every now and then.

    We just transferred our warehouse. May NAWASA water na. But we also constructed a barracks for the delivery boys, nasa 12-15 sila. Naglagay kami ng poso for them, but recently, maybe because of the rain, putik na ang lumalabas so temporarily, pinagamit namin yung NAWASA water para may magamit sila.

    They don't drink from the poso, may purified water sila. They just use the poso for bath, toilet, laundry and dish washing. So ano mas makakatipid sa situation na ito?

    Ah. If your NAWASA supply is regular already, and not intermittent, by all means, just use NAWASA. Keep the pump as back-up.

    yes there is auto off but the thing is what if the NAWASA supply is not that strong, for sure your pump will not stop since the tank storage is not yet full does your pump has the variable speeds in relation to NAWASA flow?

    for those who don't have and with just the electric pump directly connected to the NAWASA pipe, there you can see the difference. the stronger your pump sucks the faster the meter spins. and the question is are there enough water to be sucked? nobody knows.

    * boss boybi, manual ba ang poso? if it's mano-mano, no question matipid yan esp kung pang ligo and laba and other usage lang outside for drinking.

    Ah. Our pump is attached to a circuit breaker. If there's vacuum in the line and no water is being pulled up, the current draw overloads the breaker and it cuts power to the pump. It's an important safety device for any electric motor you're going to leave running without human intervention. Before we added the breaker, we burned out the previous motor.

    Again, with the breaker, power bills are pretty reasonable. ;)

    If your NAWASA supply is predictably stable,- then go for it.

Which would be cheaper: NAWASA or deep well pump?
