I know there is a sub forum about pools but just wanted to know if anyone has used jdpools in korat and if so what was your experience, I am thinking of getting a lined pool and am a complete novice.

JD Pools is a franchise operation, so you are right to seek comments from anyone who has specifically used the Korat branch. Can't help on that - have only used branches of JD Pools (Bangkok, Ubon and Chiang Mai) and then only for chemicals and, because they are not the cheapest provider around, only their Shock Chlorine in recent years.

 

If you are based in Korat probably worth considering salt-converted chlorination for your pool. TRS Salt is Thailand's pool salt miner/provider and you can buy it at the Korat factory (on the way to Pimai off Highway 2) at less than half the price that JD pools charges (in Ubon anyway).

Thanks for quick reply. upon further research it seems pros and cons for both tiled and lined pools in your experience what would you do? and these pool companys seem expensive

Hi Blueeyes. You should put general questions like that on the pool forum. There are a load of people with experience on that forum including some ex pool pros who seem to me to be pretty balanced ie unbiased & no longer with axes to grind (particularly Sappersrest).

 

Me, I had an in-ground concrete and tiled pool built 6 years ago by a local commercial builder + Bangkok pool technical specialist; that was my first and only experience. 15m x 4.5m 90 cu.m. Has been great/reliable and I would do it again that way now I know I'm a long-termer! But it's an expensive option and not one on reflection I would encourage anyone to take in the earlier stages of a new even marital relationship! Don't know exact cost, as it was part of a bigger project that included a one-storey building with a pool/snooker room, guest bedroom and pool toilet, plus water tower and deep well - probably 800k to 1mil of the total 2mil project cost (including all the equipment in the pump room and accessories).

 

If you review some recent threads on the pool forum you'll find lots of discussion of smaller and much cheaper alternatives including pools that could be taken down if you get fed up with them!
