Yes, the hydraulic head in the big 700-1000 liter storage tank next to your pump is pushing water through the pump even when the pump is off.
You'll get some flow, much less than when pump is running, from outlets lower than the tank water level or parts of the system still charged with water.
(If that's not the way it's supposed to work, then my pump may be defective also.)
Let me talk to one of the pump shops in the city.
If I get a definitive answer I will post it here, but it is likely to be next year.
What you are saying could be correct. Because I am testing with garden faucets, which are positioned quite low.

I assume you mean the valve between the storage tank and the pump. If so, yes, water will continue to run through the pump as long as there is head in the tank.
When I do pipe repairs, I have to remember to turn the pump off AND turn off the the supply valve from the main storage tank.
Lopburi is talking about a system with a smaller pressure tank between the pump and the house intake that maintains a more constant pressure. That one has a pressurized bladder. Not all systems have a pressure tank. Mine does not.
I'm not sure, but I think the pressurized tanks are more common on systems drawing water from wells.
Are you saying that water from the tank will run through the pump and into the house water system even when the pump is not running?
So even if I unplug the pump, water will flow into the faucets? It was never like that, if I remember right.
If the electricity died there was no water in the house.

Actually the pump does fill that bladder (inside tank) to a set pressure - when tap is opened the high pressure from bladder send water through tap. When tap is closed (or when in use) pump tries to restore pressure to the water in that bladder.
There is no bladder inside the tank. The bladder is in a metal container inside the pump itself.
People who live in condos may not be aware of how house water supply works here, because it's done by the condo management.
Thank you for your effort, but why try to answer when you don't have the answer?

Water has to flow through your pump - expect you have a tank attached to pump and water flows from that until pressure gets below re-start pressure - then pump fills that tank to shut-off pressure in normal cycle.
You must not be familiar with the system here.
The pump doesn't fill the tank - it gets water from it.
The standard Toshiba has a pressure sensitive bladder that senses when a faucet is opened in the house and shoots water into it.
It's ok. I will drop into a pump shop and ask them what is going on.
-
Well, it is the standard setup I believe.
Water from the town supply is stored in a fiber glass tank. The Toshiba pump is connected to the tank and pumps water into the house as needed. It is a standard square, pressure sensitive pump.

Water flows through my water pump even when it is not running. I have confirmed it by turning the valve on/off.
I don't think it was always like this.
Does it need to be repaired? Or is there some (simple) adjustment I can make.

I've never tried to have electrical items repaired in Thailand, so no idea if it's practical or where to go.
I have a Samsung convection microwave oven which is less than 10 years old and not too much use. When you turn it on, it runs like it's working but there is no heating produced. So I'm guessing that there's just a single part that's dead.
It may not be worth repairing a microwave oven.
But if you want to make sure take it to Amorn outside the east moat. They have a large repair center and for 100-200 baht they will look it over.

Can someone recommend a doctor who has some knowledge of male hormone replacement?
I would much prefer a doctor as opposed to a hospital. South side of Chiang Mai is good, but any location will work. Thanks.

There is one shop left that offers this service. You will have to search on facebook for them as they don't advertise anywhere else. I wish I could be more helpful. If I can find their card and FB page, I will update this post.
Thanks...anything more specific I can search for?
A general search unearths place in India and far away lands, which won't work for me. Facebook searches are not that great anyway.

I only have the tape - haven't had a player for a long time.
It's just one tape I want to convert to DVD, and it will be infinitely better to have someone do it than to get into it myself. A little expense is tolerable.
Anyone know a shop in Chiang Mai?

Is there a service in Chiang Mai that will convert a VCR tape to a DVD?
Appreciate info if anyone knows.

Sure, they happily let you prepay for anything you wish. The problem is just getting what you paid for later.
Sheryl has said that she knows (knew? unless she is a medium) several people for whom the service was provided. She does not mention any problems with the provided service, and her tone towards the company is positive.
Do you have a reason for casting doubts on the company? Or is that how you normally feel towards life?
If you have a real reason, please state it. If not, then stop displaying your inner vitriol and let people avail of a service that can be very useful.

Thanks for some useful replies.
To Jak - do you know if Hang Dong is an orange growing area?
It seems like in Thailand almost anything will grow anywhere.

Despite the name, this company does not handle only -- or even mostly -- repatriations.
They can arrange whatever is desired including completely no frills simple local cremation. I know several people for whom that was done. Their fees are reasonable (possibly less all in than your friends/family might be able to obtain negotiating with a temple on their own) and most importantly they will handle matters with the relevant Embassy (body cannot be released for cremation or burial without Embassy pre- approval) and if needed, obtain necessary documentation of death in applicable language (will be necessary if there are any assets or government death benefiis in/from home country). I have also known them to run intererence with police at times (e.g. attempts to take body for autopsy at family's expense even though cause of death was known and patient under doctors care for terminal illness).
But suit yourself. OP specifically asked for a way to pre-pay/ pre-arrange and this company offers that.
Do they have a Chiang Mai presence that you know of?
Or do we deal only with Australia?

I called True, they have a data package, but I need to be able to call also, and link my Google number to the phone number. They don't seem to have anything.
And to use my Google number I need internet service, for which I need a SIM.
Easiest option is to buy a SIM from T-Mobile when I am there. Don't use ATT. They are messed up.
Or if your phone accepts eSIMs you can buy a package from Google or another provider.

I have a small, young, Thai orange tree - maybe too small to call it a tree as of now!
It does get a few fruit, but the problem is the skin, or rind, of the orange splits before it ripens. Anyone here can suggest what the problem may be?
This is in the Hang Dong area of Chiang Mai.

I had a stress test done there It was supervised by the cardiologist,went through the results with me a very thorough examination ecg x rays etc I am very sorry I dont remember his name.
If you ask at reception they will let you know.
Your comment didn't really deal with my question, but thanks for some feedback.
However it did raise another question: did the stress test include ultrasound imagery before and after the exercise?

Does anyone have experience of the cardiology department at McCormick? Perhaps of what's known as interventional cardiology?
I am looking for the name of a doctor I can specifically ask for and consult with, rather than just depending on the luck of the draw.
If a few people are happy with their cardiologist at McCormick can they perhaps post his/her name here?
Thanks.

And yet every single one of their doctors goes to the U. S. A. to get trained.
Funny.

DoHome sells 1L bags for 115 Baht, but you can get them for 95 Baht on Lazada. I haven't tried them. I will next time though.
Well, why not buy from Mazuma then? It's less than what you are paying.
My filter looks similar to yours, and for 20 liters carbon Mazuma wants 2070 baht - less than what you have been paying. And don't forget, if you buy from Lazada you will have to pay a hefty shipping charge.

There are a lot of different Mazuma filter types. I have the one below, which takes granulated carbon, and change it myself. I buy the bags of carbon from DoHome, disconnect the filter from the inlet and outlet pipes, unscrew the top and empty it out. Stick a hose in to wash out all the bits and fill it up from the new bags.
I'm not in Chiang Mai, but our local DoHome say they can send someone around to do it as well.
Thanks. For now I have scheduled Mazuma technicians because for the first year they won't charge for labor (700-800 baht).
I will observe them and decide if I can handle it myself next time.
There seems to be just one Dohome in Chiang Mai, and it is some distance away.
You just ask them for water filter carbon? About what does it cost - Mazuma said my filter needs 20 liters.
-
I have a Mazuma house water filter that needs an annual carbon filter change.
Is the only option to use the factory service, or are there independent shops that can do it?
If there are shops (not like Homepro, they use the factory) which ones?

Washing Powder
1 kilo Borax1 kilo Soda Ash
1/3 Cup Baking powder
Available at World Chemical or Union Chemical they also have Oxyclean
Thanks for the recipe...can you perhaps elaborate a bit?
Have you been using this, and the reason for it? How does it compare with commercial detergent, and the effect on clothes? How much to use?

Home water pump
in DIY Forum
Posted
It is available in the piping. So if a faucet is opened it will trickle out. At least in the lower level faucets.
As an aside, I don't want any water in the system so that I can control watering solely through the electric pump and a timer.
