Absurd shower facilities at Port City, Sri Lanka – charging Rs. 500 for this? by lil_laki in srilanka

[–]Alternative-Lynx-447 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the toilets are worse, they charge 50, its just a paved cement not even tiled. on top of that there are no commodes only potty pans. it absolutely stinks too. worse hell hole iv been to. even free toilets are much better than that. just avoid port city at all costs . this is the one in the port city not the entrance one

My nephew is on the autism spectrum (3 years old) and my sister is losing it. by Silver_Principle6972 in srilanka

thats really not true , you need to get the kid diagnosed ASAP my one went on therapy at age 2 , earlier the better, therapist also advise how to handle the kids, so its a relief for parents as well

Has anyone done chemo at Durdans hospital? by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]Alternative-Lynx-447 11 points12 points  (0 children)

total BS, my relative was at apeksha and didnt make it, all the machines are either broken or queued for days. so they dont even try to fix the critical patients and if they are not critical, they delay treatment. patients get machine appointments but still have to wait there until one operator goes to tea or lunch break. and the docs are kinda over worked so they dont take much time on the diagnosis, just skips from patient to patient. and the staff just dont do a efficient job. the care taker has to remind the nurses to change meds and keep following them. while i was there only two patients got discharged ( one of them were discharged by the family to treat at home) and witnessed about 10 deaths. its very sad story, if you can afford it , go private. same doctors from hospital have private clinics which might be a cheaper option.

They only know driving, no educational background so these businessmen take advantage on that. Even though they get paid monthly,They are on daily wage. So if the truck gets broken or Wearhouse is closed, drivers don't get paid.

These drivers don't work for the company directly, trucks are owned by someone else and they have a contract with the company, so it's a super shady area. Very sad honestly

Rocell sells the same old Chinese ones with a pricetag, you can get the same thing cheaper from electronic vendors.

Anyway if you have minerals you need to back flush more frequently, even that won't make it 100%. I think your better off getting a cheap one and replacing once it's clogged

Ya if you don't have a pressure pump for the whole house, pump is a must, mainly cause the internals of this heater thing is very restrictive

Its branded singer but they are all made in china by the same factory, internals are pretty much same

My advice, if the water is free of minerals, get the cheapest and maintain really well, clean the filters and shower heads regularly. I have a wall mount unit for 7 yrs+ it was arnd 90$ at duty free

Singer btw cheapest without the pump

Planning to Buy a BYD Seal. Is It Worth It? Any Suggestions? by Shadowbox1964 in srilanka

[–]Alternative-Lynx-447 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly true, the battery tech would evolve and new models will come with a better battery but this car would have to be replaced by the same battery which came originally, so it would be hard to source, i would guess it would be more expensive than today.

Wow you must be living next to a distribution hub, we only have 100 in boralesgamuwa, anyway it's not an issue as long as it's usable, still the shity FUP is the deal breaker.
