  1. Penang & KL are your closest Consulates. Reviously Cambo wasn't doing them. Maybe hs changed? But check with them if they are doing them! They will also tell you which docs to have on you! Good luck.
  2. Busy enough without trying to scare up work! Bahahahaha
  3. Rubbish. Yes you have extra costs of course. Do you live in a house of 40, 60, 80 sq/m?
  4. That is fine. Currently PebbleCreteing a 25 x 5 metre lap pool for a Thai couple in Om Noi! PM sent with contact details
  5. You are looking at ballpark 20 - 22 K per sq/m now depending on specs!
  6. Hi all, If you are planing on a pool or system etc I would get your orders in now! Some suppliers have stock at curent prices. Freight has, in a lot of cases gone up to 45% If you sneeze ya loose! Be warned!
  7. I can supply & ship. PM me with size of filter & picture of spec plate & I will send you a quote! Cheers
  8. 3 in an inner circle of friends 2 weeks after the 2nd clotjab? Grow a brain. But hey lets wait awhile and see the real results over the next couple of yrs! Maybe you will be one???
  9. I just heard another friend (3) has died not long after the JAB! Are you awake yet?
  10. Both products you mentioned are good and about the same price. I have used both in many filters, house & pools. Zeolite for 8 yrs & "Eco Clear" Recycled plate glass for the last 6 yrs. Pattaya based, however we work all over Thailand! Zeolite can clog up as it is like a minture cage structure. In my experience Eco comes up trumps!
  11. If you have had the clotjab I would get a D-Dimer blood test! I have already lost 2 elderly friends within a month of the jab from brain hemorrhage Here in Chonburi!
  12. Why? This is a swimmimg pool forum and your are getting annoying with your ignorant replies which are bordering on dangerous!
  13. You really are showing your ignorance! Cryptosporidium, Legionella, Pseudomonas Ageruginsa, E.coli, Giardia, Norovirus, (Ear, eyes, nose & throat infections) Birds are a main culprit as is walking on grass prior swimming and diarrhea CDC - Between 2015 and 2019 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recorded 208 outbreaks of illness linked to pools and hot tubs that resulted in 3,646 infections, 286 hospitalizations and 13 deaths, and experts say those numbers could be much higher.
  14. Most salt chlorinators are made in China these days. I deal excusivley with 100% Australian made PuraPool sanitation systems. The Oxy Minerale system is the most popular that uses pink Himalayan salts. Great for the skin & a fresh water bather experience. It creates 2 Oxygen particles that does the sanitation. (Look up "Anolyte") The standard salt systems are great as well. Humidity is the enemy of the electronics as is keeping chemicals in the pump room especially acid. Pump rooms should be well ventilated. The titanium plates are coated and very thinly to save money. Not so on the above mentioned brand. The plate are thickly coated and also intentionally pitted to create more surface area allowing you, in most cases to run at a lower setting. This saves on power and increases longivity. sappersrest is correct with the cleaning of the UV bulbs. Aother issue is if they are crystal or glass. The later doesn't give of the correct frequenzy. So pretty much a dud! Salt cells also need cleaning yearly to get rid of body fats and oils which inhibit the cells from working effectively! This needs to be done with dish washing liquid. Most machines are self cleaning for calcium by reversing the polarity. Only if you see a calcium build up should you use a weak acid solution to clean. Otherwise you are shortening the cell life! Detergent 1st or the acid won't work! One of the posts mention the machine with built in UV. In my experience and many of my peers, this brand is the worst on the market. I use a local pool shop for bits and pieces for conveniance and everytime I go in, there is at least 2-3 of these lying on the floor ready to be shipped for warranty fix! I lost 10 in one condo complex. Brown outs fried them all. However the prices are attractive. But this comes with low reliability! thaiowl Your experience is not uncommon with that particular brand. I believe the company changed owners a few yrs back. They didn't know of the millions of dollars in warranty claims I am led to believe. They have new models. Lets hope the Q/contol has got better! Typicaly salt chlorinators are built to produce a particular amount of chlorine gas per/hr. Best times to run are 4 hours in the morning and 3 - 4 hrs late arvo running to after dark. This leaves a residual amount of chlorine in the pool overnight optimising the kill. Sunlight/UV is the enemy of free chlorine. (Adjustments can be made on these times due to usage etc)
  15. What was uncovered in Straya is that the levels over 50 inhibit or lock up the free chlorine levels. Hence the recomended levels be no higher tha 50 ppm!
  16. You on the slops? Bahahahaha I know what ya saying and I concur!! Arrr the Gold Coast! Old stomping ground for 40 yrs!! Not same place now unfortunately! ????
  17. Rubbish again. Most pool shops sell copper sulphate and are quite happy to give advise on how to use. (Mostly correct) Chlorine is not the bread & butter for the shops! However the so called pool techs just have NO idea and keep adding it! You have such a jaded view of the industry! You alone have turned this forum into a debate which it is not meant for!
  18. Through our long and drawn out studies in Oz the cynuric is best left below 50 ppm. Not sure if this would change depending on where you on the planet which may make a difference. We also found out that calcium best at 250 ppm! Again depends on supply water etc! I suspect this would be different in the UK with all that lime in the water! (Limey)?
  19. The small amount of chlorination is so the authorities allow it to be sold in Straya! It is the law or you don't get certification. The UV from sunlight soon takes it out! ???? Most people have "NO" idea what goes on behind the scenes! 1st hand experience beats any so called peer review! Not debunking - just saying!
  20. PuraPool offers a "Oxy Minerale" system that uses pink Himalayan salts! Great for the skin as well. Look up Analyte! Natures best disinfection! Very popular system! By the way "Chaichara" We are autherised dealers before the shark comes out in you! ????
  21. Yep as the brainiac keyboard warriors at getting adjitated!
  22. You need to get of your "High Horse" "Unheard" made a valid point! Why don't you prove him wrong? Maybe you have some new befangled Tech that is better and you would like to share & flog? Bahahahaha So far you have only provided one graph pertaining to glass. Which by the way was not specific to the type of glass. Sounds like you are full of your own wonder of academia!
  23. You sholdn't assume anything as we know where that leads! By the way no stockpile!
