Roi Et,
the filtersystem the company showed up with was quite fancy. It first injects chlorine, which oxidates the iron when the can easily be filtered out by a regular sand filter.
The whole stuf, pumps, valves, backwash is controlled by a small computer.
Only drawback: 90,000 Baht and it consumes around 5 Baht/cubic meter in chemicals and electricity.
Did you buy manganese/carbon filter in Thailand? if so where and how much?
I know the manganese takes out the iron.
I'll look around a bit more before I commit to an investment this big...
Thanks,
Monty

Thanks, Monty I bought my filter at Global Roi-et producrd by Mazuma, Bangkok. You can find these filters also at Homepro, Homeworks. My one is stainless steel 35cm diam and 120cm high filled with 33% each Manganese on top, Carbon in the middle and Silica sand at the bottom with manual backwash/rinse. Very effective  , I filter 8000 lt per day.The backwash water is dark red. I think more Manganese would be ideal for me because I have very high iron and clay content. Bt 16,000 installed on site including 1hp pump.

Bump!
Great replies and some really useful info so far. Anyone else out there with any bore/well construction experience? |
