  1. Most pool pumps allow for around 15 m head. So it would most likely need an increase in pump size. Where are you located?
  2. How can it be on the wrong side of the road? It's a one way street!
  3. Test the supply water ph. Typically you need to dose acid twice weekly. Try 1 litre at a time in a bucket of water and spread it around. You can also get acid in crystal form. Just leave it in a bucket of water over night. Salt systems create chlorine gas and in turn creates Sodium Hypochlorite which in turn raises the ph. It will be an ongoing process.
  4. Come on man, there are no prosititutes in Thailand. They must have been cashiers & receptionists with time off! ????
  5. If he leaves the country on a B Visa (Permission to stay stamp) without a re-entry permit the B Visa will be cancelled automatically.
  6. Thanks for the sensible answer. Sounds about right. Any chance to gouge/hit farang for satang. Usual keyboard warriors are wasting everybodies time, especially their own! ????????
  7. My lawyer says that for a new 3 month Non B visa (not me) now has to have application for the W/P at the same time to get the new authorization letter requirement from the labour department for the B visa. He quoted 40 k. I feel it's over the top. (Plus the mini bus trip at 13K) Then when it needs changing to a "Permission to stay" at the end of 3 months, another 35k? Anybody been through the usual B/S hoops lately?
  8. Either, the choice is yours. However tiling is over kill. Cheaper & quicker to waterproof render. As we did for 3STTW Where are you located?
  9. Yep mung beans! Could eat but I wouldn't! ???? The surface hasn't been waterproofed as also probably the gutter. As I suspected - There is the reason for the high ph.
  10. In tropical & humid conditions it's always best to keep your salt levels @ 4,000 ppm.
  11. The chlorinator doesn't stop working when the ph is high. When ph is high the CL is weaker. When you lower the ph the Cl will become stronger. It's all about chemistry. No matter what acid you use, if the ph is kept between 7.4 - 7.6 you will get longivity out of your grout and slow down the degridation of your surface. Unless the builder has used bathroom grout! (They Do) It's also possible that the overflow gutters and the balance tank haven't been waterproofed. I have come across this a few times here in Thailand. (Builder saving $$$) This would explain the high ph! MrJ2U When you want glass, contact me has I supply. There are different types on market - "Eco Clear" recycled plate glass (See attached) & recycled bottleglass. The later is ???? Eco Clear wetinfo.pdf
  12. You may need to up the quanity of acid being dosed. Example - 100 k litre pool would need approx 3/4 to 1 litre acid twice a week in a salt pool.
  13. It wasn't an answer, it was an opinion on another system. Your experience with UV may be good, however I have experienced many dozens of commercial & private pools in 3 countries that have had bad experiences with UV technology!
  14. Most likely a winter switch is on. That is the reason for the low Cl. However it is the CL made by the cells that are normally the reason for the ph being high and needing acid to bring it down. Something else is adding to the increase in ph. Is it a new or old pool? What is the final surface of the pool? If tiles & if so, is the grout gone?
  15. 2 shops in Pats. One or two at the OMJ & the other on the corner of Suk and the main road into Naklua (which is a pain to get to)
  16. Chlorine oxygenates the water (Raising the ORP). 304 stainless will rust in this environment. Get some absorbic acid (Vit C) and use it to clean the rust stains. You could soak the bolts in the solution as well. IMO it is the bolts rusting from the caustic water.

    Water Filters

    Nothing wrong with Moonshine. Maybe that is why he is bloated and constipated? Bahahahaha ????????

    Water Filters

    If you partner is refering to calcium - boiling the water is useless. The only way you will remove the limestone (Calcium)? is via Reverse Osmosis. For 3,000 baht you most likely would have only purchased a 3 stage filtration system. I still would'nt drink it. You would be better of buying a R.O under sink system for drinking!
  19. You cannot get a Non - B in Thailand. You have to travel out of the country. A teacher friend of mine just went through this exercise from one school to another and needed to do the bus trip to Laos. He said it was a pain in the (Ars*) You only get a 90 single entry. So best get all the W/P paperwork lined up as well! Flight to PP would have been better.
  20. Rubbish. I have have used all of them and I had serious lower back injury in my mid 20's. L4 & L5 disc prostrusion. The nuerosurgeon want to operate. Thanks to some great advice from a naturapth that did remedial massage I was put on the right path. I had all of these treatments over a few years & fixed my back naturally. I even became a Thai Chi intructor and a qualified Yoga teacher to boot! However you are correct, diet & exercise are an important part of any treatment!
  21. I can refer you to a very compitent natural therapist in Northern NSW if interested PM me.
  22. With her monthly bill around 700 K, her ROI is at 23 months. Seems feasable! ????
  23. Good luck with that. Cannot in or from Thailand. I tried to get help for funding of my missus's cancer treatment. Some one has to do it in acceptable country and they need to manage it as you cannot access from Thailand.
  24. My mate had it done a few months ago at around 300K. He is very happy with results!
