how is it different from standard salt water pools?
The minerals used are Magnesium and Potassium chloride and they work in conjunction with the MagnaPool's “Hydroxonator”. Hence, there is no calcium chloride in these pools. You will find magnesium and potassium chloride in many natural health baths and in upmarket spas and the minerals have indeed a healing effect.
The cost for a MagnaPool is about 10% more than for a pool with salt water chlorinator.

I can understand your use for the terraces but if you use them on the driveway you have to take into consideration whether you wash you car there or not. The car wash detergent would not be so healthy for the garden.

ummmmmm.......potash and a salt.
looks like magna pools are using fancy words for an existing system.
the hyroxinator is a chlorinator with a fancy name. still owned by poolrite.
dont waste your money.

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.
The small shop is now closed, they have relocated as per JG has indicated.

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

Are you still going with this spec after your meeting with pure?
How big are your 3 storage tanks
your softner and filtration system presumably this is more than 1 unit is that correct?

Sorry for late reply but I have been out of circulation for a couple of weeks as I had urgently leave for Sweden because of family a situation.
The two main tanks hold 3,000 litres each while the small tank, the prime irrigation tank, holds 1,500 litres.
In the initial stage I will only install a filter system. I intend to buy the Master M7 Auto that is sold here in Hua Hin by the PURE shop opposite Index.
It is a two-stage filter where the first stage is a resin filter which is said to reduce sediments down to 1 micron. That should do the work for reducing the TDS from the well (last sample I took it was 295 mg/l, which is far too high).
The second stage is a water atomizer, designed specifically for removing or reducing chlorine and water-soluble heavy metals. If also is supposed to effectively reduce scale, bacteria and algae.
The water will, however, still not be good for human consumption so I will also install a five-stage water purification system (UV) type in the kitchen. I have opted not to go for the reverse osmosis type since they do tend to remove too much of the minerals that we humans need from our water. RO is good for laboratories though.
The new M7 Auto filter has selectable auto flush-back function and is now also fitted with a memory that keeps track of the timer should there a power failure. The previous version lacked that feature.
Since I posted the drawing a few changes have been made. Firstly, I will install a non-return valve on the outlet from the second tank (8) too. I had simply forgotten that. Furthermore, the two tanks will not be interconnected as shown since we could not find under ground tanks designed that way. Hence, the first tank (7) will also be connected to the irrigation pump.
I am also considering dumping the high level alarm together with its cut-off solenoid valve and instead simply install a non-return valve after the meter. This will be cheaper and more reliable.
The total hardness of the water is a problem, like it is with most wells here I understand. I have taken water samples both during the dry and the wet season and have come up with 350 mg/l CaCO2 and 230 mg/l respectively.
The reason for waiting with a softener are because I havn't found a good one for a reasonable price yet. I have looked at the U.S. made Culligan but it is far too expensive. Furthermore, the developer will eventually install a more sophisticated filter/softener system for the development so for the moment I'll settle for the filter only and see how it goes.
The main pump will be the Grundfos CH4-50PT model that has a 25 litres pressure tank. I haven't selected the irrigation pump yet at I first have to choose sprinkler model first so I know flow and pressure I'll require.
