You missed my post. ;(

You need a holistic approach. First go to your local university water testing mob and see what's in your water then design your filter system around that. We have a 60 m bore pump with a pump controller. From there to a 3000L sediment or storage tank, then to two big blue filters one with Echo Glass and the other with active carbon. From there to a Big Blue sediment filter then the water splits to the outside and yard and to the house reverse osmosis filter unit under the sink. We got a guy from Khon Kaen to do the initial job. Check out Echo Glass as one of your filter mediums.

Dr gave me this to use at home.

So how does that work for normal daily use?

I think the number 1 rule in Pattaya is you don't take strays from the beach.

I don't think the current old meter can handle off-peak metering. Not 100% sure, but in Aus water heaters are connected to off-peak supply and at low grid usage times (say 0200 to 0400hr) and the power company sends some pulses down the line that enables off-peak supply cost rates that are lower than normal rates. I think that's why in Thailand you have to have a separate TOU meter to get the low rates. So my thoughts are that PEA shoots themselves in the foot for not supplying the TOU meters as more people would then go to full solar for the house and EV charging, therefore PEA loses out.

That's a good way to fix the misuse of TOU meters (sledgehammer approach). Sherly they could cross-check the house meter bills and punish the poofteenth percent of naughty people. Or using the same approach to fix the Bangkok traffic - ban the cars. 🙂

In that case why not get another off-peak meter (TOU think it's called) and use it for car charging only. Then you can charge during cheaper electricity rates. Have to see PEA.

Just a thought: If the cables to the house are not thick enough, you don't have to rip them out and install new ones but you can run new cables in parallel, so the 2 cables can carry the current. Ask your electrician. Might be a bit messy if you run the 3 phase, but if it's a long run could save you money.

Well done mate.

I'd guess that all of the detractors don't power their house with solar or have an EV. Takes a while for some people to get it. Why do people hate new technology?

This is another iteration of a system designed by the Japanese years ago. Love Bankok but traffic puts me off visiting more often.

Thanks Sheryl, will talk with doctor. There are lots of brands and units for sale on Lazada, I was wondering if others have bought them and what brand or unit name would be recommended.

Diagnosed with Penumonia and receiving treatment in the local Kuchinarai hospital. When I finish my treatment and leave hospital on the weekend I'd like to buy (now) a home Nebulizer plus medicine. Lots of products out there so anyone got a brand name they would recommend? I think the hospital rents out oxygen bottles but don't know about masks and nebulizers. I would normally drive to KKU hospital but couldn't make it this time.

We trade with China. We are not run by China. Your country is run by Mongols. 🙂
