Recently Tanjung Aru and basically whole Sabah had acute water disruption. My family even had to use mineral water to shower.
Due to that, we installed third water tank to ensure in future we have enough water for few days.
We bought 400 gallons Tomher water tank at RM480. I wanted to buy Weida water tank but there were no stocks.
I wanted to buy Weida water tank because we have one Weida water tank and it has been well serving us for 10 years without problem.
How Much Tomher 400 gallons Water Tank Cost?
It costs me RM480 for the water tank and bought it at Pemborong Maju Hardware at Putatan.
I did compared with Weida 400 gallons water tank and it costs RM410.
Water Tank Slab Design
Size: 168 cm x 168 cm x 9 cm (thickness).
The concrete slab requires:
1) Cement 2x bags
2) Stones 8x bags
3) Sand 5x bags
Piping Installation
The new water tank is connected to existing water tank so we have more water storage.
We installed stop cock from new water tank to existing water tank. So we close the new water tank stop cock and will only open if the first water tank is empty.
How Long It Takes?
It requires at least 2 days.
Slab construction and wait it to dry: 1 day
Piping installation: 1 day
How Much It Costs?
1) Water Tank and its accessories : RM533.30
2) Cements, Sand & Stones & PVC piping, sockets etc: RM90+RM70 = RM160
3) Labour Cost (slab construction and piping installation): RM250
Total Cost: RM943.30
