Re: Quiet dishwasher (machine, not human)
If you've got the supply and waste ready, Pure will probably install it the day you buy it if you ask. By far the friendliest electronics/white goods store in Hua Hin and nice to see them back to their old shop again with cool car parking.

Too Add:
Dishwasher detergent locally has almost doubled in price in the last few years ( I used to buy 2kg boxes for 245 Baht).
After some web research I now make my own using Borax ,Soda Ash, Citric Acid, Coarse Sea Salt and Chlorine, The chemicals I purchased in Bangkok or have them for my pool. The cost of this very concentrated detergent is around 200 Baht per kilogram ( could be cheaper if i bought borax in bulk) and only needs around one small spoon per load. I have been doing this for around 6 months now and it works well.Salt as I have said I use TDS brand 99.9% sodium chloride salt as used in my pool and water softener. This is less than 5 Baht per kilo ( compared to dishwasher salt at around 50 Baht) This I have been using for the last 7 years or so and seems to work and I have had no problems with the dishwasher. I also have a water softener and initially tried not using salt in the dishwasher.The result was I started to see staining on the interior stainless steel in the dishwasher( and an annoying light asking for salt!)that was eliminated by adding salt.
Another tip that I have tried is using white vinegar ( 10 Baht Litre) in the rinse aid dispenser. I tried this expecting to smell vinegar but was surprised to not notice any difference from using a branded rinseaid (250 Baht litre).
I no longer use the vinegar as last year in Makro Pranburi I noticed a 20 Litre drum of industrial rinse aid in the "clearance" section without a price displayed. I got someone to scan it and the price came up as 200 Baht - I got it in the trolly and to the checkout without a backward glance!
To some this may seem a chore but I enjoy the satisfaction of beating the pros.

Re: Quiet dishwasher (machine, not human)
To finish off this I found some correct dishwasher salt in a Villa Market branch in Bangkok.
It is "Somat" brand from Germany, 1.2 kg box.
