Default Re: Trip Report: Back from my Colombia, all the wiser.

Yeah,
We installed one in my mother in laws home. We bought it at Exito. We fried the first one when we tried to use it when there was no water. Cali had a problem in much of the city with people not having water in their homes for several weeks while my wife was visiting.

Anyway, my wife was able to exchange the fried one and the electrican installed the new one, and with the flip of a switch we had a hot shower. I'm not looking forward to paying for the extra electricity it will cost. Fortunately some people really prefer the showers without the heated water.

No, I believe when I was in Bogota HT I stayed where the showers were heated. That could be unpleasant. I much prefer the climate in Cali.

Oh, by the way the electrician and his helper did the necessary plumbing and electrical work, including several visits for about $25. I was delighted with that.
