If I were in your shoes I would have another look at the installation. What is the size of the pipe going into the washing machine? The pipe should be 3/4 inches. This increases pressure at the last mile. Check to ensure this has not been modified to suit the Nigerian way of plumbing. A bigger pipe dimension will reduce pressure.

Another option is to run direct a dedicated pipe straight from the water tower with the right pipe dimension. The electricians do same for things like cooker or a/c.

I will not rush to booster option just yet as the home water pressure is ok. I would explore the installation option first before bringing out the bazooka.

Your Point is Noted Sir... Different stuff for different folks. Although I wouldn't recommend a wallpaper in the kitchen for my clients, i would prefer to explore better Options.

Please Note: The Kitchen usually has high Temperature due to the heated activities, Where Steam and Moisture do set in, & that's not good for a wallpaper.

Moisture or Steam could ruin your Wallpaper!!!

That's That ....

Hello Chief,

I am interested in your conversation about water pressure and booster pumps as i am facing a related low-water pressure issue.

Recently i bought a fully automatic Hisense washing machine to be used at my place. After the installation at home ( to the water inlets) , we powered the machine and water wasnt going in. ( But the machine works pretty well if filled with water manually by pouring water into it).

The machine was returned to the dealership who also sent it to the service center for diagnosis and repairs, but later the machine was returned with an “OK” service status.

After several tests at my place we discovered that the water pressure from my tanks was too low to open the selenoid inlet valves which was amazing because the tanks are about 5 feet above the ground and are huge GP Tanks.

I had to test the machine again by connecting it directly to the 1.5HP submersive pump supplying water to the tanks, then the machine inlet valves were properly opened under that amount of pressure.

Right now i’m setting for installing water booster pump specifically for just the washing machine ( the house water supply works pretty fine and i dont want to go through the headache of raising the tanks higher, which i dont even think would be a sufficient fix )

Do have recommendations on where i can get the water booster pumps from either within Lagos or if it’s waybill-able and do you know of any plumber who can install it in such a way that it works perfectly with the washing machine with no alteration to the washing machine ( washing machine is still under 1 year warranty )?

Also considering that the washing machine only expects to take in water on few occasions during the operation cycle.

If you were in my shoes how would you DIY this?

We’ve met in the middle.

Your preferences is NOT to use wallpapers in the kitchen. NOT that it’s not possible.

I actually only sell my lands directly without agents but I appreciate good faith referrals.

n3xt:


Use eba/garri/fufu/akpu to fix your wallpaper.

But on the flipside sha, that's just an excuse... I'd do it in my kitchen and nothing will happen to the wallpaper. Do kitchen cabinets like moisture or steam? NO! Yet we use plywoods (hdf and mdfs) and NOT steel or concrete to make our cabinets without worries.

Before we start all these tiles, cabinet craze, we used to have wallpaper inside our cabinets to make it nice and nothing dey do am except that cockroach love eating those paper.

I'd use wallpaper creatively in my kitchen.

EgunMogaji2:


I don’t subscribe to the idea of Nigeria being unique. My current kitchen is open to the dining and living and no issues. Wallpaper works in kitchens. Not the cheapest Chinese junk but good quality ones.

I don’t like wallpapers, I don’t use them so you won’t see the in my house but that doesn’t mean it’s not possible to use.

imported wall papers like calenders and newspapers too.

It's not that I'm responding in order to argue. It's very likely that's its possible. But to be safe just like others have suggested let the wallpapers be in the areas where the cooking unit and kitchen sink are not located.

Except maybe someone is using all round electric cooker for cooking.

Aimolatunde1:


The following are combinations (at the right ratio);
a. Stone dust + sharp sand
b. Stone dust + sharp sand + 1/2” granite
c. sharp sand + 1/2” granite
d. sharp sand alone
all with cement.

It’s advisable you use stone dust (for the fine finish y’know you’d still get good results without it) but do NOT use it without sharp sand.

EgunMogaji2:


I disagree.

Life’s too short.

If I want to use wallpaper in my kitchen like millions online are doing all over the world then I won’t be constrained by local limited knowledge.

EgunMogaji2:


You’re right but I still stand by foreign doors. This is after 3 years of living continuously in Nigeria.

bixton:


I so wished you loved it and give it a try.
But too bad.

DFAMEGUY11S:
thank you brother heared someone said that he is afraid of foreign door because is fiber who told you that,door is quality by quality if you use mdf Turkey door don't expect it to last like hdf Turkey door one their prices are not the same likewise their quality you can not use America panel to compare with steel door their quality is not the same at all , the truth of it is that you knows your budget if you need quality door is available even armoured door they all available and you can never use any one of this local made Nigeria door to compare classic Turkey door both for beauty and quality but all depend on your budget and choice as well, classic Turkey door is almost the same price with all this local made door ,

EgunMogaji2:
By the way, the anti wallpaper geng, I’m not the only one that is pro wallpaper on this thread.

Why am I the only not getting a pass on this?

Hmmmmmm.

wane01:


Okay, i understand your point.

The hose you have in the image is what was packaged with the washing machine, ( 2 piece at about 2 meters or so ).

You could be right with regards to running a straight line with that hose or pipe size. What is fixed to the tank is the regular pipe size and it goes a few meters away from the tank before it’s connected to smaller pipes.

Tbh, i havent had any need for high pressure water supply within the house so i havent bothered about these things.

I understand the knowing people and appreciate it.

There’s a certain sales culture that I’m promoting.

Anyways, have a happy Sunday.

These are local wooden doors...they can pass for imported doors when completed.

Will share later.

Its 4 inches thick solid wood. Exposed to harsh weather conditions for more than 2 months before cutting to doors

What will happen if he use only stone dust for his production? I've over 25,000sqm without sharp sand and there has never been any issue.
