Dirk_brijs Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) who had their swimming pools build in Pattaya and how much were they about? Went around town a bit but there seem to be massive price differences throughout town?? Looking for a small 6m x 4m pool so nothing too fancy. any advise on which one to take?

craigt3365 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Home and Pool is one of the best in the area. Not cheap, but great work and great designs. Be careful of the cheapies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD13 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) My experience of Home & Pool Tiling...not great After sales service...arrogant and not interested My approaches to them have always been courteous, but it made no difference I will be looking elsewhere next time Edited August 6, 2013 by DD13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amintwithahole Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I used pattayaswimmingpools.com and the price was 150k cheaper than home and pool and the service was good and i also had extra work carried out afterwards. The pool was chemically balanced after the work was completed. The foreman has been working in Pattaya for 10 years. Defiantly recommend shopping around for prices as most companies use sub contractors anyhow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk_brijs Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Home and pool design nice pools, but their after sales service is pathetic. Rarely have I seen such incompetence and I have seen my fair share of it in this fine country. I think they must be the only swimming pool company in the World that installs salt water pools but does not own a salt water tester - they had to bring a whole new salt water water generator to my last house to check the salt level. Took them 10 visits to change the cell on a salt water generator that was 7 years old, kept trying to say it was fine. I moved into a new house 2 months ago and 2 weeks ago the landlord got home and pool in (I didn't know this at the time) to fit a new salt water generator. It worked fine for about a week then stopped making chlorine. I take care of the chemicals in my own pool when I realised that pool guys here haven't got a clue, so I know that my levels are all spot on. Chloride 4000pm (tested with a perfectly calibrated Lamotte tester), Ph 7.5 (tested with Exact 10 pool tester) all other levels in the perfect range as per the manufacturers instructions. The guy who installed it came back today and I say the generator is not outputting chlorine. "Low salt" he comes back with. "Nope - the low salt light is not on and I have tested the salt level - it's perfect". "PH problem". "No, here is the test result for the PH - 7.5. Why don't you check the salt level yourself?" "No can" "Why not - you installed the generator?" "No can." So I called the real estate agent that I deal with when things go wrong in the house and explained to her what was going on. She spoke to the guy and he said he needed to train me on how to add chemicals to the pool... Then she said he's very good, he works for home and pool. I just laughed and told him to get out, he wandered off looking like the turnip that he is. So then I called Leo from Wichaiyong Pool Equipment and he will come around on Monday to take a look - he speaks absolutely fluent English and knows as much as pools as anybody I've ever met. Location here:- https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Wichaiyong+pool+equipment%4012.9275,100.9511&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=41.224889,93.076172&t=m&z=16 Only a small place and you need to speak to Leo himself if you can't speak Thai, but he is used by two different good quality farang builders I know here and they both speak very highly of him. I've no idea of prices on building pools but I know he does them and you could far worse then popping in to his shop and getting a quote - he's the cheapest I have found in Pattaya for pool chemicals by a long way. Cheers, Tom. we actualy been to that shop and are cinsidering using them. very friendly people inside and the lowest quote in town helped too. happy you could tell me that they seem competent as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogandave Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Why are pools so expensive when they are so easy to build ? Because the people that buy them are rich and don't want to build their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
