Si mnajua sida ya maji hapa nyairofi, vile inakuanga hakuna pressure, na choo inahitaji kuchapwa flush. Sasa, mimi huwanga nimeweka ka booster pump kuchapa maji from a tank on the ground hadi kwa tank iko juu ya nyumba. I normally switch it on once a week, inachapa kitu three hours naizima.
Now, it happened on Friday evening kitu 10pm, mimi huyo nimewasha pump and continued watching TV awaiting the grand announcement from ChiloBae. Shortly the announcement is made, people are in carnivore mood, everyone out to celebrate and all such nonsense. I joined them. I returned 7 hours later and remembered the pump. Ilikua imechapa maji, ikajaza tank ya juu, the ball valve was broken, water continued pouring out, the tank on the ground ran dry, the pump continued running, sasa imeharibika, it cant pump. Na tank ya juu pia imeharibika. We have been having some good water pressure over the weekend, lakini ball valve haifungi tank ikijaa.
Sasa wakUMBWA, can the booster pump be repaired after running dry for several hours?
UOTP
Si pump ilichomeka juu coolant iliisha. Juu naskia kama ni pump kidogo enda kwa muhindi umunukishie kitunguu.
Unaeza dismantle uone kama amarture imeungua just to make it certain. Most small pumps, electric, diesel, and petrol use water flowing through to cool. So you never run it dry. If its immersion you never run it above water. Na uweke switch kwa tank izime maji yakipungua kiasi fulani na ingine kwa tank ya juu izime maji yakijaa. Ball valve huwa inachoma pump ya stima. ikifunga inaoverload pump. Kama hujawahi jua ukisimamisha ama sufficiently slow down a running motor it experiences an effective short because there is no magnetic field action and electric energy is dissipated through the windings and armature as heat. Sasa bahati yako ilibreak valve ikaendelea lakini bahati mbaya maji ikaisha.
Kwa vile ulikubali nchukue Waithelelo, I’ll give you advice for free. Hako ka pump kakisha chapa huwa story yake imeisha. Let no plumber lie to you ati it can be repaired, it will end up being expensive and no guarantee of lasting more than 24 hrs. What am trying to say kwa kifupi is “enda nunua pump ingine”
Btw ukisema tank ya juu imeharibika, what exactly do you mean?
Peasant manenos. Sasa weka auto-switch pump. Sio pesa mingi vile and you will have an easy time. Maji ikifika level flani downwards,maybe 50lts,pump inaanza kazi na iko na limit switches zenye iyo ball valve ya tank ya juu huguza tank inapojaa…sasa naona mpaka carpenter akinunikisha Kitunguu kama ceiling ilipata maji.
@aviator fanya hivi nunua pump ingine. Alafu weka float valve hapo uwache maneno mingi.
Na hio mambo ya kutokuwa na pressure kwa choo inamaanisha nini? Kama maji imeingia kwa cistern huwezi ongeza pressure,. Finally kula mchele wachana na ugali meff iwache kuwa ngumu (unflashable)
Repair or buy a new one then install float switch in both tanks, ambia the technician aiweke such that one float switch switches the pump automatically when the overhead tank is empty and switches the pump off when its full) na maji ikienda below a cetain level kwa the lower tank, inazima pump pia.
