Any water equipment specialists co in HH, Cha-am or Pranburi

Post by **stgrhe** » Sat Aug 22, 2009 2:31 pm

I wonder whether any of you know of a good company in Hua Hin, Cha-am or Pranburi that specialises in water supply equipments such as pumps, filters, softener etc. and can do a proper design job too?

Please do not mention Homepro as they haven't got a clue what they are talking about in this regard.

Thank you in advance!

This is the company providing a turnkey proposal to me.

Although based in BKK they have done home installations in the HH/Cha Am area and were referred to me by a satisfied customer.

They offer multiple systems and will want to take samples of water sources before recommending any specific system.

Thank you for that link, I will check out that company. Other suggestions are welcomed.

In Khon Kaen, where I previously lived, there is a very competent company called iWater but they are reluctant to engage in small business in Hua Hin as they recon they wouldn't be competitive due to overhead costs caused by travelling expenses. Another issue with iWater is how wold service and spare parts supply work? Hence why I was looking for a company nearer to Hua Hin.

There's a company named Pure Pro I think they're called who are Nationwide. They are located somewhere near the Big Bangkok Bank on Petchakasem road. The one where you climb a load of steps, left side heading into town about 1 kilometer before the main Satukarn square traffic lights. I will look for better directions next time I pass. There is one guy who speaks good english in there, however he's not always there, if not try and ask them to talk to someone at head office as that's what I did and spoke to a really good guy who also offered discount. COYS

Just past the water shop again. It's before the bangkok bank a couple of doors or so past the bike shop. Saw a big sign opposite index with the words PURE on this morning looked like a water symbol below the word Pure. However the shop was closed below the sign. Maybe a new water shop.

Thanks again. I have prepared some rough drawing to bring with me and had a problem with my printer that needed fixing first, so tomorrow I will have a look there.

stgrhe,

please let us know how you get on and what system you decide to go for.

Here's a picture of my concept I'm working on that uses the mains water supply only for drinking (after treatment) to save running costs, constructive comments welcome.

Yes I will although my house is still very early in its construction phase. I, however, prefer to be proactive and I am not confident with the solution the developer has chosen for the other houses in the development that are already finished, hence why I am seeking advice.

I have now gotten two suggestions for companies to talk to, which I sincerely appreciate, and I have always iWater in Khon Kaen as a fall back should I not be happy with the once near by.

I lived in Khon Kaen before and know the company iWater. They are very good at what they are doing but reluctant to engage in small business as far away as Hua Hin and I can't blame them.

I have today locate the Pure company and we will meet at the house construction site this coming Friday. I have therefore made a draft drawing so we have something to discuss around. The drawing is preliminary but nevertheless I post a copy here should anyone be interested.

The swimming pool equipment is not meant to complete on this drawing as that is entire sub-system in its own right.

Just a quick thought Stgrhe as on the way out. Appears you have the rainwater/pool backwash going to your sprinkler system.

Regardless if you have a saltwater chlorine or a powder chlorine pool, you'll have residual chlorine and/or salt in that water. In a saltwater system, when the chlorine produced breaks down due to the sun or whatever, it turns to salt again.

I don't know in what quantities and in what concentrations those things will kill your grass and plants? Pete

We've decided not to have rain gutters on our house so to collect the rain water we plan 75 cm built in floor drains at specific locations within terraces and within the driveway.

Hi Pete, you would be right if it was a conventional pool but since I will be using a MagnaPool there will be no problem using the back-washed pool water for the garden. This feature is just an added bonus with the MagnaPools.

wow, flash website, looks expensive, and the hodroxinatorerjdeh thingy looks exactly the same chlorinator used in all salt water pools.

how is it different from standard salt water pools?

Thanks, got it. I see they say can be used for irrigation at a 5:1 mix level. Also, see your second tank #8 covers this as you can mix with another water source if not enough rainwater to achieve the 5:1.

I would still try it out on a small plot or boxed plants first. If I ever killed the wife's growing stuff here, I'd have my head handed to me on a platter.

I didn't see about private pools but with commercial pools they say they only need to backwash about every 6 months so it may not be a big issue anyway. Pete
