early challenges of the water tanks

after few rounds of discussion with the tank vendor, through face to face meeting & phone conversation, now we realise that to replace all the water tanks for Vista Condo is indeed a very tough job.

and the toughest one, is to replace the water tank at the ground floor of each block, for info, the ground floor water tank serve the purpose of keeping the water from PBA, before it's sent to the roof top tanks through the water pumps, in our case, our residents are using the water directly from the roof top tanks.

here the tricky part is, to replace one tank will take abt one week, so when the vendor is taking the one week for the ground floor tank, no water will supply to the roof top tanks, and the roof top tanks can only keep the water good for 2 to 3 days for our residents usage...headache!

one of the solution suggested by vendor seems more workable for our situation here is to put a temporary tank at the ground floor while installing the new tank, so that this temporary tank will do the job of keeping the water from PBA, and to this, the size of temporary tank should be similar to our existing tank, which is 8 ft(height) by 8 ft(length) by 12 ft(depth), if the size is too small then it can't keep up the pace of the water consumption by our residents, and in fact, the vendor is willing to provide the temporary tank to solve this problem, well, it will lead to another challenge ;)

where to place the temporary tank?

our existing pump room's space at the ground is just enough to cater for one tank, which means while the vendor is dismantling the old tank, the temporary tank got to be in place to take over the job, but as there no more space in pump room, we got to place the temporary tank outside the pump room, and bear in mind of the size, now we got find a right place for it....

it got to be somewhere very near to the pump because it need to connect to the pump & the control panel, another headache!

as we look at it, it will be most likely using the motorcycle parking area, or the air well next to the pump room, but we will wait for vendor to come and check again if these places is feasible for the purpose, hope that it's the right place for the temporary tank :)

let's continue to pray for the smooth process for the tanks installation, thanks.
