Hua Hin houses receive most of its water from the Pranburi Dam, through pipeline connections from both Municipal (“Tessabaan”) water supply and Provincial Waterworks (PWA) supply. While water sourced from Pranburi Dam is monitored to ensure that it follows the WHO guidelines for safe water, does that mean we can drink directly from our water taps at home?
Over the years, there has been numerous reports that water directly from the pipeline contains sediments and unpleasant odors. This becomes especially rampant during the rainy season in Thailand where flooding is common in some areas.
Yes, water from the dam is filtered and treated in several stages before it reaches your home. However, drinking directly from the tap is not a recommended practice among the locals. Why is that?
The problem is not where the water is sourced, but how it is delivered to your house in Hua Hin.
The underground pipes are experiencing leaks and cracks that could cause dirt, mud, sand, and sediment to be sucked into the pipes. Contaminations can also enter the water pipes during repair work.
Hua Hin is growing rapidly as a city and water treatment stations may at times not be able to keep up with the increased demand
At times the water level in the Pranburi Dam is low, which could lead to the water being drawn from the dam being rich in sediments and suspended solids. This would affect water quality.
A 5 Micron Sediment filters effectively clears the water from dirt, sand and sediment.
An active carbon filter takes care of chemical residues such as chlorine taste and smell.
Water runs through a stainless steel chamber with a UV lamp inside. Illness-causing microorganisms that are invisible to the human eye receives a lethal dose of UV light. The high-output UV-lamp effectively kills 99,99% of virus and bacteria including e.Coli.
