You can't use 3 battery (12V) in a 48V setup.

Welding is serious risky business. Only weld when you’re 100%.

Please I need suggestions and advice on any suitable submersible pump that I can use to pump water from a borehole to a 25ft level above the surface.

The power rating, brand and cost will suffice.

1 tonne of 12 mm rod in Lagos is #380k as at today.

I went to my vendor shop to buy and when he gave me the price, within my mind I felt he wanted to cheat me and we quarreled a bit before i angrily left his shop only for me to go to another vendor and they quoted me #385k last. I left there and went to another place and I was told #380k last price.

Shame couldn't make me go back to the initial vendor who has been my supplier since the inception of my project. Little did I know he was giving me the actual price. I had to later buy from the third person because I felt guilty of quarreling with my supplier and didn't have the energy going back to his shop.

God help this country with the way price of material is increasing. This same 1 tonne 12 mm rod was less than 200k as at October 2020.

Meaning price is about doing 100% within 8 months?

What exactly is driving the cost with speed is what I am trying to understand.

Is it that the process of manufacturing these rods is now more complex or what exactly is what I don't get.

Price doubling within 8 months is alarming.

Don't really have a favourite brand but the power of the sumo shouldn't be less than 1.5hp

I really don't know why exactly. The annoying thing is that the rods diameter is no more complete 12mm. Even 16mm rod diameter isn't complete 16mm

Which is wickedness.

You're increasing the price but reducing the quality.

please oga mi and everyone else reading this,if I give you a quotation and you angrily quarrel with me, kindly come back when you verify that I am not cheating you. Don't let shame make you give another person the money you're supposed to give me. It's not your fault for getting angry neither is it my fault for charging so high.

My charges have doubled in less than eight months as you pointed out. Someone contacted me some days ago about a standing tank. Gave him the current price and he was almost freaked out. He was like, how can the prices double already. 6 by 3 H channel I buy 65,000 before, but I paid 95,000 with lots of begging for 5 by 3 on Saturday after making a quotation with 90,000 two weeks ago
