Thanks. I intend using a medium size plastic tank. Please do you mean I should raise it more than this height? Or I fill up the spaces and cement everything altogether in one piece? This is my first time to hear or see something like this done before. How is it usually done for plastic tanks. Thank you.


Fill up the spaces to make it one piece, ensure all part of the base of the tank are accommodated on the plinth,

Are we not simply creating an elevated platform at this point?

Good day all. plumbers and experienced builders in the house, please I want to ask, do they usually put blocks before installing overhead (roof) tank? My plumber said it's to increase the pressure. Please how safe and accurate is this? Thanks.

The higher your tank, the more the water pressure. If you have money, you can use a pressure pump instead

Unless that is concrete or concrete blocks, it is likely it will eventually collapse over time from water pouring on it. Also a pvc tank should ideally be installed on a flat surface, or its bottom will start to bulge. You may want to lay wooden planks on that plinth. The plumber will know the type

I guess it comes down to money. Usually better to have a separate overhead tank structure, but that will cost more.

Yes, raised, not elevated perse, more so the height and sizes of the plinth varies with sizes of the tank, but the slab must be be well designed& constructed to take care of all the loadings,

For plastic tank

I try to keep my money in my community so I bought from a large distributor in my area. The full ortho is torturous in my opinion. Basically like you’re on concrete.

Pls will a solar system need a voltage stabilizer? And when installing a central stabilizer for a home which has a solar system already installed, should the central stabilizer be connected to PHCN alone or alongside the solar system? Thanks.

This is the way if you care for quality home theatre audio Available in the market is appalling the best audio system sold by Fuani house (primary dealer of LG) is a dated 5.2 system that was discontinued sometimes in 2015 by LG and does not even support 4k.

For home automation. I have it integrated with my solar energy management system. The system is set to prioritise the cheapest source of power available at any given time.

[b]Solar
if solar is not available then grid if grid is not available then battery if battery drops below a voltage set point then generator. [/b]

I also use sonof smart switch to turn off heavy duty appliances like freezers during heavy rain and cloudy. Days when solar is not sufficient.

The whole setup is self running without human intervention mostly DIYed using open source tools like home assistant and some python scripts.

For home entertainment. I have a 60 Terabyte storage system
16TB for an active Network Attached Storage configured in redundant array for fail over in case any one drive fails.

There is a 10Tb active backup of 16tb storage
And 30tb cold storage full of backed up content.

Movies are automatically downloaded by a torrent tracker and saved to the NAS. This means over 2k movies in 1080p and 4ƙ ( including most classics like all James Bond release, all Harry Potter , complete star wars, complete marvel cinematic)

Complete Season of Voltron classic (84)
Muppet babies
Super Ted
Courage The Cowardly dog etc

Internet is handled via fibre for now. However I would be moving to a new place which doesn't have finer so so am preparing a dual SIM cat6 external LTE router which would have MTN and Airtel in failover mode for Internet. The external LTE router comes built in with a 9Dbi gain antenna allowing it pick signals 14km away.
How can the bolded be achieved? Most one have a smart home to be able to do that? Pls break it down for a lay man. Thank U Sir.
