FastShipping:Sorry to say this, there in nothing called MEDIUM YEILD from my experience. That was where my predicament started, with this so called medium yield. The first driller, our agreement was to drill 60 meters according to the report. He drilled between 38 and 40 meters and he hit water. Unfortunately I later found out his machine could not drill through the rock above the 40 meters. He stopped and told me that it was a medium yield. Everyday we tried, he pumped for half hour with low pressure and it stopped pumping. We did this back and forth for over 2 months arguing about pump and generator. He told me that the generator had no power to pump. He made over 30 appointments in between 2 months and only showed up twice. I finally made up my mind and told him I am ready to pay all over again and that was when he opened up, and introduce me to the driller. That could drill it with the right equipment, it took about 2 days to get the guys to the site. In 4 hours their machine blasted through the rock, hit the water aquifer. I stopped them at 70 meters, according to my average calculation between the two tests that I did. The total length of the borehole 70 meters pumping depth is 46 meters laid out pipes to the tower is about another 16 meters. The total pumping length is about 62 meters. We were able to pump 5000 liters in exactly 1 hour with high pressure pumping in every 4 hours . Enclosed is a result of the first medium yield pumping at 38-40 meters. |

kopell: The guy told me mine was 110 meters but I don't believe that because the guy was only there for about three hours to drill. I dont see how anyone could have drillef 110 meters within 3 hours. When they hit water, he pumped water out for about 1 hour and left it for another three days before coming back to insert pump. That was towards end of December. We didn't use it since then until April. They pumped water on first day and pressure was good. On second day water pressure was good for about 40 minutes. On third day, water pressure was good for about 20 minutes before the borehole finally died. This guy now advised that I should start using my other well. Just imagine after spending more than 550k on borehole, your borehole driller now advised you to start using your well to fetch water. |

Oga kopell , the pump show there is nice good pump made of copper coil materials, but truly it's made in China by one of my Oga friend in coker by name withheld (I can give the man real name if requested ) he went to China (doying company) to produce it , that is company where most people in Nigeria do patronised to produce pump for them . if you want real Italian, Denmark, German pump go for lowara sear groundfos Pedrollo euro pump; Dab ;(more than 10 types of these flooded the MKT which are replica) but all i mentioned nna money ooo but those China do produce good pump I do recommend also to some client but not all China product. but this Oga kopell type is one of the best . am not trying to promote the man product here oo if you get to MKT and you can't afford European made ask of any pump that produce by doyin China company ( forget any name they label it here bcs everybody do ask the company to write there own name on it just like that INTER DAB) you will still find one shining sticker label doyin on it . 3 Likes |

@abunafiu, seems you are an alternative energy man, did you install solar pump in ur build?..if not do you know anyone who did. am toying with the idea of installing a solar pump in my build...what sayest thou? edit: just saw this, it appears the discharge rate is too low, 360LPH., so more than 10hrs to fill a 5000liter geepee tank, no way i no do again The solution to your remote water pumping needs. This pump is rugged, durable and built to last. This pump delivers a steady 96 GPH (360 LPH) at its maximum depth of 100 feet (30M) when supplied with 24 VDC. Its unique water-tight power connector stops water wicking and prevents potential condensation problems. Great for livestock watering, irrigation, pond aeration, remote homes and 30M deep well. |

NL1960:True that, my friend did his bore-hole in lagos around November / December and he told me he spent less than 250, 000 Naira for everything (pumping machine inclusive ) and he said the whole process was less than 7 days, when l visited Nigeria around December 2016, l went to see it and it was fantastic, water is pure and the bore-hole is working very well, the company that constructed it are in lagos, we have a long way to go as a nation, then , to read that 500,000 Naira was spent on a bore-hole and you are given a lemon is sad & pathetic, corruption is not restricted to our leaders alone, some followers are also corrupt, looking for ways to cheat, defraud and take money from others, you now ask, will the country ever be free & rid of corruption, l doubt, because it is like a monster which has festered its claws on the nation and some citizens |

erico2k2:No gold Oooo, na only water dey there. This is where I find myself, you don't even want to hear the story of well before I made up my mind on borehole. I'm very determined to get better results, with the help of Almighty the end result is a success. Every one experience is different oh. May Almighty in his infinity mercy continue to provide for us. |

Absolutely! There is no accountability at all. If a work is performed and it's not up to par, or as promised, then person that did the job has to own up and fix it, or return the money he was paid. That each individual as to do their own bore hole/well to get watar is unbelievable! Arrrgh! We have a long way to go in Nigeria. AngelicBeing: 1 Like |

Bossman:l concur, yes, that is the way it is now for most homes now in Nigeria, you are more like a small government within a country, you provide bore-hole, estate maintenance fee depending on the area & location, you pay for OPC / neighborhood security, in some instance you contribute to maintain the roads and different levies keep springing up , and if you live in an area that is not connected to PHCN, you pay for transformer, wires, poles to enable PHCN connect you to their epileptic power supply and the list is endless and you wonder what the useless government is providing for its citizens, l agree with KANU that the country is a zoo and some other writers called it a jungle because in a zoo there is orderliness because the animals are kept in different compartment and well behaved but in a jungle it is dog chop dog, every man to himself and to your tent O' Israel 2 Likes |

earthrealm:I have installed a number of solar pumps. But if u want more information about solar pumps, you may contact "Drealgeesam" a nairalander too. https://www.nairaland.com/1793602/solar-powered-borehole-full-construction The ones I have installed were very efficient and pumps at an average of 50 litres per minute. It requires a minimum of 190Vdc to power it. Some require as much as 300vdc. You will require a number of solar panels in series to achieve the target DC voltage. The cost of procurement is not friendly at all. Apart from solar panel cost, a very good DC pump is from 700k and above. So in my own case, I simply used my 0.5hp AC pump connected to my 5kva inverter. Remember my PV strength is 4000w so I can conveniently accommodate the pump. |
