Thank you Thank you Thank you Asher & Gad the video I ve been bombarding you with for weeks has finally been delivered,and I even got a mention in it Awwwww, this is a very very important video and I can't thank you enough for making it and the icing on the cake is the Ebook just got my copy and it's very informative and I think you should do more Ebooks on other topics you have covered here,so once again Thank you very much for your excellent inspirational videos we do appreciate your effort and God bless you.
@@kingstal90 no word of a lie....and it gets worst my brother......it depends on the area but most areas water is found 150 metres on average which mean you'll most likely pay 30,000 dollars. I'm thinking of buying a portable borehole drill for this very reason it would be cheaper just to buy one and then rent it out for drilling at a much cheaper price.
I’m so happy that I’ve come across your channel. I really wanted a comprehensive guide on building in Ghana and this is so helpful. You’re both so personable as well. Thanks so much!
Brother you are an inspiration, planning a trip definitely want to meet you in person, thanks for your brilliant content, outstanding- your level of detail is “Next Level”
We are building in ghana and me and my husband discovered your channel. I will say you guys have helped us a lot we were watching your solar panels last night and to be honest 😉we made our decision right away 😀. The cost alone 😀 can buy us another land. Thank you guys so much.
I love you guys for your togetherness. I am seeing you couple for the first time and could not help but patronize your business by buying your e-book. I could develop my own system but I appreciate your sharing the LOVE with all Ghanaians. Keep the good work up.
Just discovered your channel thanks to Vanessa Kanbi. I'm an African American in engineering CAD design in Atlanta who is interested in Ghana. Your channel is a treasure. The engineer in me is beaming at the e-book. Please keep up the good work. I have subscribed and will be watching.
Great job, I started watching the channel not sure what you guys were about but, as I kept watching more of your videos, I fell in love with you guys. Building your own house and educating us. very useful information thank you
I can see them admiration of your wife when discussing all aspects of your water system design on all fronts. I am learning plenty from Gud so thank you for your clear and concise explanations. Keep up both of you with the good work in educating us.
I'm glad you guys did a video on this particular subject. I've looking into this for a while. Its hard to get real answers when you are not down there. Kudos on this. You guys are doing great services for all of us in the diaspora
Excellent and so informative. I’m black American and been looking at various videos on building a home in Ghana. Yours and one other channel of a couple who retired to Ghana from UK, are the only videos that have details, easy to understand, orderly and logical. The fact that Asher is an EE is what makes yours the better channel on the subject. It’s just so difficult, they say they want us to return and help build, but they make it unnecessarily difficult. Is your home in the Accra area, or Kumasi area? Thx and have a good evening.
Thanks very much I know what you mean We are in neither area really Yes - the artisans in particular make it difficult and the system (especially buying Land is far too bureaucratic) with far too many steps. But we have to return and help makes things better in our own small way. Little by little
Fantastic video...I just happened to stumble across this channel and it's a blessing. This gives us an option in terms of water, which is very important since I'm looking to move and build also. Thank you so much...you are both wonderful people!
Thank you for this very interesting and informative video. I am actually spearheading an effort for boreholes to be put in villages in the Bolga area. Your video helped me to understand the process. Thanks again.
Tried to inquire the cost of borehole drilling in some part of Kenya that I come from and was told it would be about $40,000 and I don't believe the water table is as deep as your area . Very impressed by $1,500 to do it in Ghana. Nice project.
My name is Rita, live in America presently and planning moving to Ghana in 2 years time permanently, currently building my forever home at Lakeside. Am learning a lot out of your videos you've been putting out. I will really need to hire someone to design my water system from bolehole thru infiltration system. Am planning to have solar system to bring hot water also to the house. Do you have any recommendation?
I'm gutted that in jamaica they charge 80-100k USD to dig a bore hole which is grossly overprice. Only the Hoteliers and very wealthy can own a bore hole. Whisked I had come to Ghana 😡. Great informative video guys. I too designed a water system for my loft conversion in the uk 11 years ago and thank God it still works. Love what you're doing. Keep up the good work. 👊🏾🇯🇲🇬🇧
@@kingstal90 Tell me about it. Soo angry about that. When the time comes, I’ll make a in ground 8000 gallons concrete tank for rain water harvesting and which will need to serve three apartments and the main house so I may have to buy in initial water to Commision the tank. I’ll pump up to rooftop holding tank like yours and use gravity. I’ll also design in a separate filtering system for car washing and irritation. I’ll post when I make UA-cam channel. Big up yourself 🙏🏾👊🏾🇯🇲🇬🇧
What would also be cool Is. How can we find a electronic relay pressure switch system that knows when the rooftop tank arrives at 100-150 gallons then the water tank pump or in your case the borehole tank kicks in to refill 800/1000 gallons roof tank and stops pumping when it knows the tank is full. Id love a system that could do that. What’s your thoughts?
Really enjoying your videos..! I haven't caught up with all of the previous ones, so I find that whenever I have a question or comment about something, you've usually answered that question brilliantly already in one or more of the earlier videos! So I'll try to hold onto my questions/comments until I've reviewed a bit more. Watching from my own home in NYC, which has been in the family for decades. Family roots are in Virginia (Richmond, Jamestown, Hampton, etc.) as far back as 1700s, that I've been able to trace: to "free people of color" in Pharnham County, and various other towns. But, of course, we all know those roots extend back in time to our common motherland: Africa. Hopefully, I'll get to visit one day.. Meanwhile.. keep up all your wonderful building, and your generous sharing and education; very much appreciated. Thanks to you both: Kingsley and your beautiful, gracious wife!
Thank You Asher & Gad. This is very important video. It’s good that you share your design. Just Like the concept Each one teach one. I will like to get a copy of the design as well. Thanks.
Thanks so much for this, just having a borehole drilled, starting today, after 7 yrs. My mistake was relying on Ghana water supply to get water into the roof top poly tank, to distribute to the various pipes in the hse. It's been abysmal! We're having to purchase water regularly because have had no water for months now. Yet they keep sending water bills! I'd advise those who haven't started building their homes, consider borehole as per Asher & Gad. The surveyors 've found 2 points of water source. But ideally, I would've preferred it in another part of the building, if I'd not dillied & dallied about having a borehole drilled! Will certainly affect the aesthetics in-situ, implying more works to be done on the ground afterwards. Well, que sera sera! 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ Many thanks for sharing your experience . Your explanation & visual aid put things into perspective.
Many thanks for all these educational videos. We appreciate all the time and effort you put into producing these intuitive videos. A quick question for you. What is the best pump for a borehole? A recommended one will be very much appreciated. Cheers.
So how much is the complete price for the start to finish. I have been contributing to a Go Fund Me account, it states that it would cost £3,500 this has been set up by a local man in Ghana, For a bore hole to be drilled and finished. This is for a small community in the Eastern Region.
You are cooking on gas with what you have done so far when using the sun to heat the water I also have the same Idea but I am going to buy a copper instead tank to keep the water warm so that I can use it during the evening or night
will bore hole be the way to go or look into building a water distribution company for the people by the people. To keep clean drinking water the water being put back in must be cleaning than most..
Hi guys, you are a very nice couple. I’m really learning a lot from your videos. Also Kingsley can you please provide me the name of the company that you used for the pre mixed water proofing concrete. I’m in the US and need to do concrete roofing. Thanks in advance.
Depends on the type of filtration system - Reverse Osmosis, Iron Removal, or Fluoride Removal. We have the latter. Best to speak to your filtration expert to confirm.
Thank you for all your information , but I want to know after the testing of the water report where do you go for the filtration system or who tells you what system you need. Help
I'm following your advice verbatim!!! I appreciate your educational home building videos!!! You mentioned the cost of the borehole but what was the cost of the filtration system please?
Fun video but Is something wrong with the display or color saturation of my screen? Instead of being beautiful chocolate brown shades they look kinda greenish??? - Thanks for sharing...
Hello Mr and Mrs Asher & Gad thanks for the info, please l need your help to complete my borehole, it's been dug for over 2yrs,am not enjoying it, please l need your help

@@kingstal90 my country is a rip off north Somalia.......it would cost 20,000 us dollars for a 100 meter. Its unbelievable.
@@ahmedadam8851 - Are you serious? I thought Ghana was bad. 20,000USD is incredible. How can people build at such an outrageous cost

Hello Ash & Gad,
Please talk about Interlocking Bricks and Rammed Earth Constructions in Ghana in some of your future videos.
This video is so helpful. I’m saving it for when we get to this part of our building.
Thanks

Love what you're both doing xx
Thanks
Your demonstration was very good ooh. But I would've use those same water tanks (probably four) to store rain water with the filtration system.
Cool
If u have a solar powered pump then u wouldn't need to worry about power costs. I like your water treatment system.
Solar powered pump? - ok cool, but have you checked their reliability - especially during overcast days?
@asher can you drop something on the standard way to wire a new home ..
ok will do..
Very pleased with your thorough explanation about borehole installation.l may have to get in touch with you asap.
Great content!! I've got followers but do love your videos. Keep it up
Thanks
You guys are awesome!!!!!!!
Thanks
The solar water heater is brilliant
Thank God finaly i know how much it coast thanks for this video i really appreciate

Please can I get the number of the Borehole drillers
Is it possible to use two poli tanks? That the filter water goes straight into the delivery tank or it must be three as you got there.
So how much is the complete price for the start to finish.

can you make a video on maintence of the water system and filter changes and maint.
Already done, look through the recent videos on automatic filtration
Amazing!!!!

Its funny how people don’t know where the water they drink come from. Some one was shocked to see my mom collecting rain water 💦 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
It is really funny....
very instructive!
Glad it was helpful!
Should incase you installed filtration system how and within what period do you have to replace the filter?
Depends on the type of filtration system - Reverse Osmosis, Iron Removal, or Fluoride Removal. We have the latter. Best to speak to your filtration expert to confirm.
Please where did you buy your water filtration system?
Thanks
its intellectual property. Buy the ebook, lol.
@@josephdunn4388 - LOL
Nice. How many gl/pm and what psi are you getting from your roof tank.
Nice One. Not measured yet.
Why didn’t you do the bore hole water first to use for building the house and waited till you finished the house to build it. Just curious, thanks
because we didn't have power available on site until much later
Thank you for all your information , but I want to know after the testing of the water report where do you go for the filtration system or who tells you what system you need. Help
The one who does the testing
Hello, brilliant system. Which company did you use for your borehole installation/exploration please?
Having your own water is good basically you are done with water bills
Exactly
I'm following your advice verbatim!!! I appreciate your educational home building videos!!!
You mentioned the cost of the borehole but what was the cost of the filtration system please?
The cost for filtration systems (iron removal/ reverse osmosis and fluoride removal) + the actual water system design is in the Ebook
@@kingstal90 thanks!
Outstanding!
Thank you kindly!
I would like to know if you have to builds your house before you do the boreholes?
Yes Please Asher & Gad - do you have to build your house n border Wall first of all before you do a borehole ???
What is the cost of constructing a borehole now in August 2024 ???
what are the head pressure of those tanks? I am looking to build an automation program.
Fun video but Is something wrong with the display or color saturation of my screen? Instead of being beautiful chocolate brown shades they look kinda greenish??? - Thanks for sharing...
you are the first person to make this comment. must be your screen
Very informative thank you for the share. How much paid to drill the borehole?
Mentioned in the video
Bravo
Thanks

Bravo!
Great video! Did you guys run another water test on the water that was filtered, to measure the effectiveness of the filtration system?
Good Point - we haven't yet. We will now
Am looking for Solar water heater + - 100 liters capacity. Any tips.?
