Re: Removing excess water from salt water pool

I only run filters from 0600-0900 and 1500-1800 which has proven enough. Great majority of rain has been coming outside of those hours. It's an overflow pool. Pete :cheers: Thanks Pete. That is what I thought. With overflow the filtration continues. With a fixed level pool where you have 6-10 inche...

Re: Removing excess water from salt water pool

The only reason I can think of is that the salt water pool you have, does not use overflow filtering but uses a skimmer filter. If you have an "infinite pool" then it is the overflow type. With this I would assume that you can just let the water flow over. But with a "skimmer system&q...

Re: Yellow book, blue book

Blue Books can be used to verify address as it has your name on it. Yellow Book requires a letter from Immigration (500 Baht) to prove address. This is my understanding. Foreigners can get a Blue Book but it is a separate and lengthy procedure.

Re: Vehicle title transfer

Immigration only needs the address. (No proof of address only what you give them.) They do not check your address. Bring Passport and 500 Baht and they will give the letter.
