Gweiloman Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Hi all. I’m planning to fit a water filter in between the mains and the holding tank. Does anyone have any suggestions as to brand/type/where to buy? Main purpose is to reduce sediment and to clean up the water a bit. I have a filter for my normal drinking and cooking water.

carlyai Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Not trying to put you off, but the first step should be to get a sample of your water analysed, then you'll know exactly what filters you need. You may just need a 'Big Blue' filter for sediment, or like me you may need other filters as well.Sent from my SM-J700F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had mine checked in Chang Mai, years ago. There is the university in Khong Kaen. There will be other places.Why not start a new thread and pose the question for your area?

David B in Thailand Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 In Buriram Rajabhat University can provide a very comprehensive water test for about 1500 baht. I have seen the test results but did not personally pay for that test. Ruangsangthai Home Builders Merchants in Buriram charges 300 baht for a water test with results in Thai and English. Ruben at H2o water filter company located near London Steak #2 near the Buriram Big C also provides water tests for a modest fee. If you obtain a permit for a well in Buriram a water test is provided as part of the fee for the well permit. I'll go on a limb and say that Universities in other provinces in Thailand can perform water tests for a similar 1500 baht fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to bring 6 large 1.5 L bottles full of your test water.I was suffering from shock, but I should have got more details. Maybe the complete test went down to nanopartical analysis. I can't see the local farmer paying that for a test. Maybe all the test I need would be a lot cheaper like B 1500 as you say.Sent from my SM-J700F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaemus Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 have a look on https://duan-daw.com/category/19/กระบอกกรองน้ำ-housing-2?tskp=2 A sand filter will clear up your water. then into a sediment filter of 10, 5, 1 micron, your pump will be between the tank and the filters. where does this water come from, Klong, rain or bore? how much do you use? does it have a smell? generally the water producers near me all have the same set up, sand, carbon, magnesium sand, resin sediment cartridge, then RO.
