  1. This is helpful, thank you for taking the time to find, photo and then post. Even though the casing of yours looks similar to mine, I've now found mine looks like it has a threaded part at the bottom. I took the while thing out this morning, cleaned it, and then took a photo or 2. The base of your 4 filter system isn't clearly shown, but would it be the same?
  2. That website won't load for me. My model number is 90104, as in the photo above, but yes I did see there are more up to date models. I'm going out now to the shop that was mentioned earlier to see if they can help. If not, I might make up a piece of pipe so I can bypass the filter for now. I'll need the water on and the housing removed even if I just want to take it out to flush and clean it ready for a new filter.
  3. Great info, thank you. I'll take a ride out later and see what they've got.
  4. Yes, I think this will have to be the plan. Meanwhile, I've just probed around the bottom with my fingers trying to find something filter-like, but ended up just unsettling the crud. I've had to reassemble for now, just so I've got running water, but it looks like I'll go out unwashed 😕
  5. Thanks, but I'm now starting to think the paper element filter is missing. Surely it would sit inside, nearly to the height of the casing? Yes, I've tried all sorts of googling, and now it's linking me back here to AN!
  6. I have googled/ lensed these pictures but most results came back in Vietnamese 🙁
  7. I'm working my way through issues here at my recently acquired condo, and the next is the water system. There is a water filter installed and I have just opened it to find it is well overdue some attention. Is anyone familiar with this filter? Inside looks like this I'm still trying to figure out if there's a paper type element, and then how to remove it, but does anyone know where I can find a replacement, in Pattaya?
  8. Thank you, I appreciate your reply. Since I wrote, I now find I can buy it here on an online auction site. If it's hard to find there, it would make sense for me to buy some here and bring it with me. Thanks again.
  9. Hi everyone, and Merry Christmas, to those who celebrate. Is Daktacort, or an equivalent, readily available there? There's been supply issues here in the UK apparently, and I had to have a prescription made up of the 2 individual ingredients (Daktarin (micronazole nitrate) and Hc45 (hydrocortisone acetate)). It's a messy job squeezing out from 2 tubes so just wanted to know if there's anything equivalent there before I arrive next month. TIA
  10. Perfect, thank you.
  11. Hi again all, So, with some great help from this forum earlier this year when I was searching for an earth here on the 12th floor: https://aseannow.com/topic/1320063-earth-where-no-earth-exists-on-12th-floor/ I have returned to my condo armed with what I need to make my electrics safe: a new (larger, so expandable) Consumer Unit, main switch and RCBOs. 2 days ago my power was isolated and I switched out the old, unprotected CU which looked like this...... To now what looks like this...... All of the previous wiring around the condo has remained, so all I did prior to this switchover was noted which cable goes where ie. A/C, shower, sockets lights etc. All of these circuits will be rewired in the future, to incorporate the new earth, but for now I have just separated as many double-ups and mixed sized cables as possible, and then fitted into (hopefully appropriate) sized RCBO. Anyway, nothing has tripped and it's been on the past 2 days, so all is great. I do however have a question or 2, whether they are regarded as "code", or just "good practise", I hope to do the best job I can. Q1. So, I have my earth cable coming into the CU now, but should I connect it onto the busbar on the top right, then link it over to the neutral busbar, or should this stay separate and only be used once I've got my twin and earth cables run? Q2. Was I correct to put the larger sized RCBOs nearer to the main switch, then reduced size the further away, or should it be the other way around (smaller to larger)?
  12. Thanks, will do.
  13. Several months later and I am back over and working on the electrics. I've made good progress, but is it OK to continue this thread even though the earthing query has been answered, or should I start a whole new thread? I've now made the CU changeover and it would be good to keep all the info together.
  14. Yes, you're probably right about some scammer sellers, but the OP asked about experiences with selling, so I answered. For some unknown reason other posters then want to comment on how many scammers there are. Yes, little chance of being scammed if you are selling and only accept cash/bank transfer as payment.
  15. I'm neither and happily posted my experience above proving this.
  16. Regarding selling on FB.... Last month I advertised some worn furniture and a desktop PC that was left behind in my recently acquired condo. I had to format the PC beforehand but it sold the day after going live with just one enquiry. Messenger on my phone went berserk with messages for the furniture, which was split into separate adverts: sofa/armchairs, dining table/chairs, sideboard, coffee table etc. The same day as the advert went live I sold the sideboard to the first person to show up, then an hour later, all the rest to a dealer who collected the next morning. He probably got a good deal but I needed a rest from having to respond to enquiries. For the ads - Good photos and clear wording etc, all in English. A farang bought the PC, and all the furniture went to Thais. All paid cash and took the items away. Similar luck might depend on what you're selling, and how you price it, but furniture seems to be red hot judging by my experience.
  17. Yes, my post-posting thoughts exactly. Just disconnect one side of switch (safely) and see if glow goes 👍
  18. I'm not qualified in electrickery, but would be interested in what the pros thought of my approach. For the glowing issue I would start by changing the light switch. My reasoning is that if it is not completely isolating when it is in the "off" position, then some "seepage" maybe occurring, hence the glow. I know in this instance it is the N being switched, but a "leaky" switch would have the same effect whether L or N. To confirm this, you buy a completely new switch and change it. Otherwise, you test the existing switch by swapping it with one of the other switches that operate the same kind of new light (that doesn't glow). If the switch is leaky it will show in it's new position, and the glowing light (with newly positioned old working switch) will glow no more. Obviously with care, and with the appropriate breakers switched off. Find them by turning the lights on first, then switching breakers until the lights go out. If the light fittings can be duff from new, who says the switches can't be nearly duff from years of use?
  19. Next I'll do the same up in the bathroom ceiling and then connect the two together and send back to the CU ready for a 3 core cable changeover sometime in the future (after the RCBO/CU upgrade). Many thanks again for the help and advice, and particularly much respect to you Crossy for sharing your knowledge. 👍
  20. Looks as bright as using the neutral, so I'm well happy. Cable and clamps courtesy of Lazada.
  21. Then connected to one rebar: And then with 2 rebars connected:
  22. An update after some more success using the rebar. 1st picture using live and neutral from a socket:
  23. Correct, no earth found after a good search. There's just live and neutral coming into the condo (red and blue)
  24. Thanks for the extra input. I've linked my friend to this thread now so he can take note of the technical side of things. He will be the one to source what I need there. One other thing that was mentioned by Crossy would make sense to him too: "A UK main switch would be an isolator, that would not suit here (there is no DNO fuse here) you need a double-pole Mcb" I guess he would have to make sure he got one that fitted in the CU he supplies.
