Any of you having experience with decalcification of deep well water ? Here in the Krabi region calcium in the water is a huge problem, when you take it from a deep drilled well, causing congestion in pipes, pumps and toiletdevices such as draining pipes, showers, sinks, taps, etc.

There are several kind of systems with pro's and contra's. As I understand, the systems working with ultrasonic technics seems effective. What's your opinion ?

Thankful for all answers.

It's about a small compound (resort)using about 170.000 liters/month .

I assume you are talking about a water softner of some sort. Hope you get some responses, because I have a similar problem--not as bad as yours, but I hate the build up in/on anything using water.

Yes, I've got a similar problem, and would love to hear the solutions. A mate of mine invested 16,000 baht into a triple-filtration system because he was - allergic to something in the water, made his skin blister and peel. Sand filtration, reverse osmosis, ionization. Now he can take a shower or bath...but they still don't dare drink the stuff, because the water tests came back positive for some stuff I can't remember. I'm in a nice little rental; put a new American Standard toilet in 2 months ago, the calcification has already stuffed up the works, had to scrape it off. Time to look at having city water brought in.

I am in BKK and the water still is rather hard. Quite a lot of rust and some build up. In my home country I had a well with VERY hard water and had to replace faucets almost yearly. My family put in a water softner and once you get used to not having to wash and then wipe everything clean and dry--including the floor as well as using about 1/4 of the soap in dishes and washing machines, you get spoiled.

I wonder if you can get a standard water softner here.

The easiest way is to save your rain water and use it.

Sorry but that is far from the easiest way to do it. Perhaps where you live it is, but where I live, that would not be much water and would require an entire new water system in the house.
