Thank you all for your helpful advice and guidance very much appreciated and will give me some focused research in the coming winter months, note the sodium warning from H but I always buy in drinking water separately so should not be that particular health issue. The gist of all seems to be cheap no good, good no cheap, my wife is out there now and has organised for the equipment to be serviced next week by the manufacturer Mazuma all resin to be replaced and tutorial on how to maintain for the interim which I suspect after 10 years of neglect will not be cheap but that is on me. Once again thank you all for taking time to respond. Regards pd

Helpful advice please, I have a house in Phetchabun with my Thai wife for some 10 years, when we visit, I seem to always spend the first week replacing valves /filters etc that have become clogged and defunct due to lime scale with the knock-on effect of problems with water pumps and hot water heaters, it's a problem which I now seek to try and lessen. I have a couple of those stainless-steel bombs that filter the water but no idea how to clean/back flush refurb etc this is a something I will address once we have sorted my wife's leave to remain in UK and can spend more time in LOS but from my amateurish research these filters don't really deal with the hard water issue or maybe I'm reading it wrong. Can anyone be so kind as to advise whether there are any proven water softeners in Thailand that actually do work that I can get fitted to the system in the first instance. Please make that an idiot's guide that a numpty like me can follow. Many thanks in anticipation of all/any assistance. Regards pd
