Fair enough, but why send a present that involved technical issues which seem to have been of concern to you, else you would not have written the OP?

Surely you could have sent something requiring zero technical expertise as a present?

 

I'm sorry but English is probably not your native language.  More than once I explained that the issues were NOT, got it NOT, technical.  They had to do with what up and down and left and right was. 

Thanks

The question for me is why he would send anything? Just send money and tell her to go to shop where they will explain everything after she buys whatever she needs.

Surely the OP should have known what was to come?

Because it was a present and I did not want to send money.

Again, I was not complaining and the issues were not technical.  They were up, down, right, left, big and little.

The Philippines is urging people to take vitamin C, even though there is no real definitive evidence that it helps.  The government is also giving free vitamin C to low income people. 

The unit was replaced.  The filter was not dirty.  The earlier picture shows a white inlet contraption on lower right side.  The filter is under the part on top which is removable, after the water is stopped, by hand.  The other horizontal part of that is part with a screw head.  That is for a pressure release.

They are in good company.  Libya I understand, drive fast and get out the way or get shot.

If you happen to see the Korean guy, that infected dozens of people, enter your favorite gay bar, leave in a hurry.

So if they spend the last 6 months in Wuhan, no one would know if they just used a drivers license?  Makes sense for domestic travel but not for foreign.

I did not complain.  I simply posted in the banter forum what happened.  Your comment was unwanted and shows who you are.

It takes the patience of a saint.

My Wife is very tech savvy, so I have no issue there. She still gets left and right mixed up though !

 

I'm forever assisting my Father (82 yrs old) with his MacBook and my Mum with her iPad and iPhone.

 

From frequently forgotten passwords, changed passwords, apps which wont log in, computer wont connect to the printer (over Wifi), TeamViewer deleted (so I can't login remotely and help)... the list is endless, I've spend hours and hours sorting out the Tech issues my parents encounter.

Every time I go home I have to pretty much start them off from scratch on their 'devices'... it takes time, patience and they generally forget everything I tell them and I just repeat it next time. But, I don't mind, it keeps them happy and allows them to contact me whenever they want, surf the internet, watch Netflix etc etc... they're happy = I'm happy.

 

Except she is 34 and left/right and big/little end is hardly high tech.

Speakthai= she understand.

 

Why use English?

If use thai will be 5 minute job.

Simple, I do not speak Thai and I no longer live in Thailand. 

Are you talking about your internal or external IP address? If it starts with 192 or 10, it would be your internal. Millions of people have the same internal IP address.  If you have access to your router you can easily change what your assigned internal address is.

One other thing is that you have to show that you had a life change.  Meaning, that normally you can only enroll in an Advantage plan during the normal enrollment period (December).  

Were you paying the Medicare monthly payments which are usually done by deduction from your social security payments?

They want you to prove that you either had been paying for social security or had a qualified insurance plan which would have exempted you.  If your insurance was with a non-US company, I doubt they would accept that.

Otherwise, millions of people start off with plain Medicare and then switch to either an Advantage plan or a Supplemental plan.  You should be able to access either Medicare or Social Security to verify that you were paying for Medicare.

Don't forget the karat of the gold.  Like 10K, 14K, 18K, 20K, 22K and 24K.  Many Thai (and Asians in general) want only 24K.  However, 24K is very soft and not suitable for jewelry.  My GF just bought a very nice 1 baht chain with pendent for 27500.  I don't know and she didn't even know to ask what K it was.  From looking at it, it does not appear to my untrained eye, to be 24K.  Usually when I see 24K it looks like a darker gold than the others.  At 27500, it is definitely a 24K price.  But to an Isaan partially educated girl, you can't expect them to always make an good choice.

This should enable you to download the manual for your heater OP

Doesn't seem to work.  I clicked on the download link and all I get is another tab with a sorry message.  I tried 3 different browsers and i will try again tomorrow.

Most things that need a police check have an age limit for document.  So getting a check and not using it for a while may just be a waste.

Why should they be looking after you ?

Because he paid 750,000 baht to be taken care of.  Not money in the bank but actually paid.

I put a new water tank in a house that I rented. No complaints from the landlord. 

 

My method is still valid. Get a quote ask the landlord what they wish to do.

 

Whinging to most landlords gets nowhere regardless of your law.

 

OP is trying to fix the problem not find reasons not to.

As I have said, where I live there is no place to get a quote under the current conditions.  I can live with it for at least another month or I can try to fix it.  If I can get the manual it will cost me nothing and there will be no problems.

f this is my condo this would be the first thing I would change

I'm not the owner and someone with superior intelligence then us decided to do it that way.

Attaching directly is a good option of course I have to get the water turned off first.

I don't have vaseline,  Will Ky work????.  I can find something.

No what I have seen were on side of plastic flow control knob which would allow the knob to be removed to access the filter.  Photo appears to have slots as if you insert a one baht coin to turn (no need to remove screw) for whatever it is intended for.

I turned it with a screw driver but I got scared and turned it back.  I thought one baht was an expensive pieces of gold as I recently found out????

Just curious as I went to a mates condo the other day and in the bathroom is what looks like a cabinet in the bathroom is actually a door to the service shaft behind the bathroom wall. Where the isolation valves were because I had a peak.

Understood but there is no such place in my condo which I was accustomed.  Also, the maintenance people for the condo confirmed this to me.  It is like my electric.  When ever there is a power outage, the generator kicks in.  However. each condo resident has to manually switch to a different low power circuit breaker until main power is restored.  I guess it was cheaper than buying a bigger generator.

Looking online it says that model has a built in water filter with pressure relief valve. Is that what we are looking at ? Could the screw be to adjust the pressure relief setting ??

Irrelevant if you can't shut off the water to the unit though I guess...

In the upper right of the 2nd picture there is a small black piece on top of the copper heater.  In a larger picture it looks likely to be a water pressure release valve.  Also, I doubt they would want the consumer to adjust that because of safety concerns.
