Valentine Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 The title says it all.Does anyone know where to buy the cheapest salt for my pool in Phuket? Thank you. Prices can vary according to transport costs & weather (too much rain limits production). Where do you normally buy your salt, how many kg in the bag, how much have you been paying, do you go & buy it yourself or have it delivered.

Thank you, katabeachbum. This is the kind of answer I was hoping for. It is cheaper behind the market in Phuket Town for 25kg bags, just make sure you do not get sea salt.

rooster80 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I get my pool salt at BB supply in Phuket Town. Its located opposite Gor Tor Mor nightclub by the big circle. Just 400 from Robinson. They dont look like much but supply big hotels with everything from chemicals for cleaning and pool supplies etc. P Laeng is the owner. Good prices as well.

paulfromphuket Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 5000 is ridiculous, go to Bang Tao chemicals next to the 711 and have a chat I think they will save you a small fortune. good english as well. PB is making a killing of u. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers An update on this post. I found the place today, also near the Dragon Gym (I was looking around the wrong circle near Robinsons as I didn't know where Gor Tor Mor Pub was ). 200 baht for a 25kg bag of refined salt, 450 baht for 25kg of HCl Acid. Loads of other pool kit there also. Cheaper than PoolMart also in Phuket Town and they will deliver. PM if anyone needs their telephone number. Cheers & Beers, Martin.

Suprises me to see Macro is cheaper, and so easy to handle and store their 5kg bags. Or 10 x 5 kg in one bag if you prefere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACAHOO Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 Thank you for all the replies. For me, I think Makro is the answer – the price is great at 175 Baht for 25kg, plus I really like the sound of easily manageable, 5kg bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you need a member card to use the Makro (near Central Festival) or can anyone buy stuff? My experience at Makro at the weekend: I had never been before. When we went to the checkout, we were asked if we had a Makro card. We hadn’t. So, they gave us a one-day card. Then, near the front door, my girlfriend gave her name and id number, and the next time we go, she will pick up her proper card. I don’t know if a non-Thai can apply for the proper card. And, about the Makro salt: The only salt that I could find is “iodized” which, according to my internet research, is not recommended for swimming pool use. I couldn’t find out why it’s not recommended. Of course it’s possible I missed the non-iodized salt, but staff told me that is the only salt they stock – and it was in 5kg bags. Oh, and it was 40 Baht for 5kg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACAHOO Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 UPDATE: I’ve found salt at a good price: 171 Baht per 25kg bag (160B plus VAT.) TRS brand – good, clean salt; I’ve used this salt for a few years. Delivered free of charge anywhere in Phuket, providing you order a minimum of 10 (I think) bags. P.K. Pools & Chemical Phuket – 089 1032877 or 082 4200029 Coming from the airport, it’s just before Heroines’ Monument, opposite the Shell petrol station.

in2fridge Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I am near Khon Kaen and the large pool company here was charging 560bhart for 50Kg class 1 TRS Salt !! OK class 2 is all that's required for pool salt ,on a google round found Poolrite/GDL shop in Hua Hin selling TRS class 2 25kg bags for 130bhart , now they have a branch in Phuket so maybe the same there ? Makro prices in Khon Kaen check out - can't think why I didn't try there before ! Any one in Khon Kaen know of a better deal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
