  1. I am happy to report - bone dry floor! I did use plumber's tape at the connection to the water supply (metal on metal) - yes, I know the washer is in there and I still did it ???? This is a high quality bum gun and is working well.
  2. I received the super fancy bum gun that can take 10 psi... just received, will install and let you know the results. Continued wet floor? Or success?
  3. SAFETY FIRST - thank you for this. This site lists water pressure which I don't think I noticed on other ชุดสายฉีดชำระ The most expensive one is not the highest water pressure. It is 8 bar: https://www.hafelehome.co.th/collections/สุขภัณฑ์และอุปกรณ์ห้องน้ำ/products/ชุดสายฉีดชำระ And this one is 10 Bar: https://www.hafelehome.co.th/collections/สุขภัณฑ์และอุปกรณ์ห้องน้ำ/products/ชุดสายฉีดชำระ-8 I am thinking about going for the 10 bar and see if that works for me. Cheaper than a bidet ????
  4. I agree with you (basic fluid dynamics, got it), just telling Kaoboi Bebobp that I did try it.
  5. The leak is not from the threads - it seems to be coming from the hose where it enters the gun end. The water runs down the wall and leaves a stain as well (another negative). I did buy an expensive metal one... I am thinking bidet and forget the whole bum gun.
  6. NancyL - this is the solution! Yes, no bum gun, get a bidet seat... I think that is the best idea. Thanks ????
  7. Yes, tried this... still leaks even when pressure is not enough
  8. I have gone through three "bum guns" (the bidet-like feature in most Thai bathrooms with a toilet) looking for one that does not consistently leak. Yes, I did take it apart and use plumbers tape on the threads. It does not seem to leak from the threads, but from the hose to body construction. We have good water pressure here and one of the bum guns did break after I used plumbers tape. So that one was made pretty cheap. My latest one is stainless steel and was expensive... leaks! The floor is always wet, which is OK in a Thai bathroom, they are made to be wet. I personally do not like it and I do not want anything just leaking for no reason. Would love to know if someone has a recommended bum gun or maybe a different approach. Thank you!
  9. I appreciate all the feedback - this group is helpful. I'll post more when we break ground on the official auspicious day of August 19th ????
  10. Yes, piles will go to the underlying ground. Already met with the builder on that. Thanks.
  11. New fill. The builder will dig to the old ground,he will also compact the new soil.
  12. Quick update: We filled up the lot with dirt. The builders came out to measure, we are all set for our auspicious start date of August 19th. See pics attached. Some items in this house design; outdoor whole house water filtration, external 3-phase generator, solar, a workshop with roll top door, external Thai kitchen, double exterior walls, security cameras, multiple Access Points, an electronics room, a lot of grounded outlets, and a urinal in the primary bedroom ???? We went with an interior designer to build out the inside. They have some really nice drawings - see attached PDFs Library.pdfHongPra.pdfHomeTheater.pdfGiantCloset.pdfEntryWay.pdf The one thing I want to add in the future is a pool - but first, get the house done.
