  1. We finally gave up on DISH this week.  We had our networks tied to a Brooklyn address.  They have been stating low or loss of signal.  Everytime we would get the satellite tuned in for better reception, they would change the satellite and/or the transponder.  Got tired of the game and canceled them.

    Other options:

    1 - be sure the house aljibe (if it has one) is topped up

    2 - put a small tinaco on the roof and tie it into the house piping, a lot of homes do this as a backup to their pressure system "just in case".    Gravity fed water is a lot nicer than moving it by the bucket.    🙂

    Also, fill a large garbage barrel with water.  Put the lid on it to keep from breeding mosquitos.

  3. I just finished installing a new UV treatment unit that I bought on Amazon USA.  It is a HQUA-TWS-12.  The price was very good especially considering that it came with spares of the two wear parts, the quartz glass sleeve and the UV lamp.  This unit is a designed much better than the Mass 8SS that is typically used in this area.  It also has a capacity of 12 gal per minute which matches the maximum output of my pump.  The new unit is much easier to maintain than the Mass, and replacement maintenance parts are available on Amazon USA.  I kept the old filter system.  I buy washable filters (a hose and good water pressure are needed) rather than work with a back flush system.  I like to inspect the filters and replace them when that is warranted.   That of course is just personal preference.

     I have done quite a lot of plumbing over the years and for me the installation of the HQUA unit was fairly easy.  I wouldn't advise trying it if you are inexperienced.

    I hope this is helpful.

    Why wouldn't people just use the Farmacia Guadalajara right in the SAT hospital complex?

    We have found the Farmacia Guadalajara in the SAT complex to have higher prices than any of the others.  The one on the way into Chapala referenced above usually had the best prices.  Sorry to hear they are moving.

  5. I have tried several times to order New Balance from Amazon MX with no luck.  Each time I would order a model number that I had bought NOB using the MX size in the tongue of the shoe.  It would arrive a half size smaller.  We've had this experience with both women's and men's shoes.  We gave up.
