MisterMan Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I would like some suggestions. I like mineral water, I do not want RO water that is basically void of minerals. I usually buy Minere although have been told it is not the best. But now that I bought the last bottle of Minere in Kata and maybe all of PHuket and have been informed the factory is in Aythuya (sp?) I think perhaps it is time to get a filter as the factory won't be opening up soon and I really don't like the wastefulness of all the bottles. I live at the base of the hills with nothing above me and our water in my moo baan is well water that my landlord drinks straight from the tap. I live in Kata basically below the big Buddha. I don't want to drive much further then Chalong and don't want the Amway one. My neighbor said he saw a ceramic one for 4k at Homepro. Although I know they are usually 10+ for a proper one. I would not be able to install it myself, also do they need electricity? I was looking at the old thread about bottle water. .. Any feedback appreciated and welcome.

katabeachbum Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 UV rays remove bacteria but minerals, and thus also heavy metals if any, remains. Amway sells one, but at silly price HomePro like 7?k baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would prefer to go to HP armed with the info. well, Minere is UV light treated basicly only three simple ways to get bacteria free drinking water, RO or UV or boiling boiling makes water taste, well boiled RO removes minerals, and is most common UV needs maintance as clean light source and replacing bulb been through them all 20 liters RO water from Kata Greenwater at 10 baht is hard to beat and a safe bet in Phuket due to a lot of heavy minerals/metals in water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaigold Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 The rule of thumb is, if you are not sure of the water quality, here is my tried and proven test. Drink a liter before beddy-bye. If you have the scoots in the morning, the water had feces in it. If your tummy is OK, the water was OK. Easy...any other questions, ask Dr. Giggles...'cause he loves ya.

MisterMan Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 was hoping for feedback from anyone who has a water filter. but thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentine Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 was hoping for feedback from anyone who has a water filter. but thanks for the info I use a simple countertop water filter, run it into a big plastic bowl (same as the ones used for handwashing laundry), then treat it with ozone & bottle it. A simple ozone generator can be found at Lotus Home Pro, I could not find one at the Chalong branch. The ozone machine is also good for treating your fruit & veges.

DanBlack Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Anybody know a better way to test your water other than drinking it and seeing if it makes you sick. We have a filter hooked up to the tap, and when I changed it after the recommended 6 months, it still looked brand new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price depends on what tests you want but can include things like e-coli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
