I've heard that you can get it tested at Buriram Technical College, but I asked two students who go there and they haven't heard anything about this, but that doesn't have to mean anything ;)

Anyone in the know ? Pichai maybe ?

I like it that they advice me but they didn't try to sell me anything, and even if they tried I wouldn't have bought it as the water tested is just for showering and dishes, I just want it tested so I know it's relatively safe for that purpose.

You're saying that Carbon doesn't take the hardness out of the water, but WHAT does ?

My wife says she used 'Soda fai' in the past, but she was a bit vague about how that was applied .
