My name is Phil. I am a 67 year old Englishman retired and living the dream in the middle of Thailand. My partner and I have built our house right next to our palm oil plantation and we have everything we need and most of what we want! Last year, around March - Jun the temperatures reached 45C in the daytime and not much lower at night, so I planned to get an Intex above ground pool to get in out of the heat. It is only 3m x 2m x .75m (4000 Litres) but the grand kids love it. And of course I get to cool off every day.
I have only had it for a few days, and am just learning about the chemical balancing acts I need to perform, and I am waiting for some Soda Ash, Baking Soda, Chlorine etc to arrive. It reminds my of when I used to run a salt-water aquarium back in England a few years ago, but at least now I don't have to produce my own reverse-osmosis filtered water!
No doubt I am going to have trials and tribulations and I hope I can come to rely on the good people of this forum to point me in the right direction when things go awry!
Cheers!
