Pool Doctor Saves The Day

[Tikky]

I wish to thank the Pool Doctors for the excellent work they did from start to fiinish to repair our swimming pool. Every promise they made they kept and the quality of their workmanship was excellent. Our pool in View Talay 2 building A Jomtien is now a world class pool. After listing to so many companies giving their opinions as to what was wrong with our pool it was very refreshing to find Gil ( the owner of Pool Doctors ) and his explation of what our problem were and his suggested solutions. He did the job quickly and very professionally and in my opinion at a very reasonable fee. It also helped a lot that he speaks fluent Thai. At the opening Party for the pool October 28th he attended and even brought tacos from his new restaurant in Jomtien called ( Sunrise Tacos which is located in the Jomtien Plaza accross the street from View Talay 2A ) to help with the party. It is not often I can write a glowing report about a business in Thailand but it is my pleasure to write this one, Michael ( a member of the VT2A committee to run the building )

Thank you Michael, I just saw this. On behalf also of my employees, I would like to thank you for employing us. The project was fun, your pool is amazingly huge. It was humbling just to stand in it while empty, and look around saying to myself..."how the hell am I gonna pull off this project??" Lol.

To all that are interested, this pool now uses an automated pH and ORP measurement & liquid chlorine dosing system. Both the pH and the ORP level (google it) are measured in real time digitally. Via a SEIKO control panel unit, dosing pumps are operated automatically when either the pH or the ORP goes out of range. We installed the chemical tanks OUTSIDE of the equipment room to prevent damage due to the equipment, and to facilitate ease of topping up. We changed out the pumps, repaired the filters, and used Zelbrite media (much higher filter area in the same filter tank). New LED lights, grout, tile repair, tank repair, gutter repair, etc., and finally gravel washed the deck. After the gravel wash was completed, we sealed the deck with a nano-tech water proofing agent. All in all, the effect was quite nice. One nice touch was, we installed anti-entrapment main drain covers for safety.

If anyone out there is interested in a similar commercial grade system for their condo pool, please reach us at anytime. If you continue to throw granular chlorine into your pool, you'll be ringing somebody for a grout job shortly!

Best,

Gil

I'm not sure who is responsible for replacing the bulbs in the View Talay 2a pool, but no fewer than 4 bulbs have been out for over 4 months. If it is the company who repaired the pool last year, then this is very poor after sales service!

The pool deck has, since it was redone last year, has developed several cracks which are going to need attention again very soon. I have to say I am not impressed with the standard of work!

A concerned co-owner..

If you are concerned, you should get onto the committee then and start helping to manage the building. We quoted the replacement bulbs but it was not approved. We also expressly informed the building prior to the job that there was settlement happening around the pool. Obviously, a thin layer of gravel wash will crack if its installed onto a settling or dynamic base. Those tiny cracks are minor anyhow, and the deck is light years better than it was when it had the highly dangerous and slippery slate inlays in place. I believe you are losing sight of the forest for the trees.

I did actually stand for the committee at the last AGM and would have been elected had the previous committee not persuaded co-owners to place a maximum size of 5 on the current committee.

I'll certainly ask the committee whether they were aware that your quote for the replacement bulbs was not accepted.

I take your point about the slippery tiles but the cracks in place now are far from tiny in places.
