I feel your paint right now mate. I really do

Oh that was long ago!

One word about the the temple donations: we had this admin girl who regularly asked for donations. Most of the expats gave money, but in the end I stopped donating. Because I felt pressured. After that she kind of stopped talking to me

From all of my direct conversations with Sharp Thailand, they don't themselves offer or sell HEPA filters for their own air purifiers. Rather, they will refer you to a private supplier in BKK by the name of JBS Sales that sources and sells them for Sharp units. JBS used to have a shop on Petchburi Road in BKK, but apparently lately have relocated out toward Don Mueang....

 

In my case, they've often been out of stock of the filters for my Sharp unit, have promised dates for getting them back in stock, then have missed those promised dates by many months.... That's why I called Sharp's replacement filter set-up here dysfunctional.

 

Also, in my case, as best as I can tell, my particular Sharp unit bought in Thailand has never been sold in the U.S., so there are no filters available for it via Amazon in the U.S.   But I believe I have seen a few filters for your larger 80 unit being offered by Amazon in the past since that unit has been sold in the U.S.  Sharp isn't a very big player in the U.S. air purifier market AFAICT.

 

 

Yes that's the one: JBS sales

It is actually the official distributor of Sharp Thailand, not Sharp Thailand per se.

They redirected me to JBS

And here is the link to the filter I purchased from Amazon US:

I would like to know that too????

Friends of my gf talk some about sharp. So i eill check that up too. If it is easy with replacement filters!

Until recently I bought the replacement filters from Sharp Thailand.

But the last time (3 months ago), they told me delivery time was 2 months!

So I bought from Amazon. It was shipped from the US.

It was roughly the same price in both cases. The net price at Amazon was lower than Sharp Thailand, but it was compensated by shipping costs.

Hi, Peter and thanks.

What is the name of the meter that you have bought? You find it reliablem

There are many models available on Lazada but here is the one I bought. Pretty basic but I think quite reliable

We have 2 x Sharp <deleted>-A80TA-W in our house.

Replacement filters cost about 2,000 baht. We change once a year.

It works very well.

I recently bought a PM2.5 meter. Before switching on the HEPA filter, PM2.5 readings are the same as outside (typically around 50 micrograms / m3). After 30 mins it drops to 10 micrograms / m3. And after 3 hours it is around 2-5 micrograms / m3.
