Update
SA Coronavirus stats
The new cases and deaths are ramping up. Still no signs of a plateau
My brother is a doctor and he confirmed to me on Friday that hospitals are filling up and he can't easily get patients admitted - those with non-COVID issues are becoming harder to treat given the situation.
Keep safe out there

Sadly I know.
I think I’ll just focus on resealing the roof again this year
This is the idea. Water isn’t brown yet but we do get a lot of sediment coming out the taps.
It’s a strange situation here but we are at the bottom of a valley so we get about 11 bar of pressure so burst pipes is a normal occurrence. When we step down to 4bar there is also a lot of leaking from the pressure release valves but I do like the 11bar pressure for the sprinklers so I need to just regulate the pressure into the house better.
We are at the bottom of complex.
When they shut off water for maintenance it takes a good 4 hours for our supply to run out.
An 11 bar shower sounds refereshing though.
Like a high pressure car wash shower.
Since your brother is a doctor,i want to know when someone is tested positive at work isn't there suppose to be investigations from Dept of Health or maybe this guy's doctor done the test "under the counter"

I was just wondering if there is a way that a dr can do a test for covid and not reporting it to Dept of Health

His boss at work is postive and refuses to isolate, exposing the whole company, I think he wants to know why the NHLS is not contact tracing/keeping tabs on his boss.
Ah thanks @The vaper and @Feliks Karp - now I understand
I don't want to worry my brother - he was quite upset on Friday - lost a patient in the last 2 weeks - not COVID - but other issues - and because of COVID they couldnt get the proper help - so he is bitter about things right now. When we spoke on Friday he actually said to me he doesn't want to talk about COVID - so I am not going to ask him now and I am going to respect that.
As for not isolating if you are COVID positive - I think that might actually be a criminal offence. I am not up to speed with the laws - but I think there is something to that effect. If its not a legal matter - its probably the height of selfishness.
People are entitled to have their own views on COVID - and that is fine if they conduct themselves in their own homes the way they want. But when they go out or get close to other people, they need to respect others. Not everyone has the same views on this pandemic. So we need to understand that we have a problem and we need to respect other people's views on it as much as possible.
Erring on the side of caution is the best approach in my view.

You need a contraption that can reduce the pressure and catch the sediment before it enters the house then and something like this exist but how much and where to find it. Consider other options before doing the plumbing.
Thank you @Silver
Yes I agree not to ask your brother about Covid we got too much problems already
I've decided to go and test myself tomorrow and going to stay home until i get my results and i know there gonna be investigations at my workplace but it is what it is
I got a right to know where i stand with this virus

The Dr doesn't do the test. They just refer you to a lab. All the labs then send results to NICD who analyzes and verify the results. That then gets reported to Dept of Health. The doctors don't report any Covid results to Dept of Health.
I understand it but i asked my boss on thursday morning about his results and told he got it back on Wednesday afternoon
If i didn't ask him he probably would have just kept quite
Since Thursday no one showed up at the factory to question the workers etc

Do you have a HR department? Or even an Executive Board of some sorts? Every boss has a boss they need to report to.

@M.Adhir , Sorry for your loss -condolences to the family.
The Gauteng health department has not submitted Covid-19 death figures to the national health department for two days:

Wtf have they been doing during lock down? I get the feeling as per usual government took this time as a paid holiday and did sweet nothing.

A 2 or 3 stage in-line filtering system would slow the flow down and help with keeping other sediment from enter g your new pipe system. We have a 2 stage filter system and a water softener in place, dropped the water pressure sufficiently, and the softener helps to remove fluoride
