Re: Salt water pool - pros & cons

We have had a SWP from day 1, so in our 9th summer. The initial cost of the chlorine generator is quite higher but obviously you then save on the cost of chlorine tablets. You’re effectively paying for (most of) your CL up front. Things to consider and decide if they are pros or cons: - the water de...

Re: Tunnel drilling the Greek way.... video

I have a good friend who is a retired construction geologist, in fact was the lead on the geology aspects of the Jubilee line extension in London, which was one of the most demanding tunnelling projects of recent times. I sent him the link to post him up to date on our local project. Based on his qu...

Re: Water dispenser conundrum

Why can’t you have something plumbed in? We have a filtration system (from Q-Water) which is under the sink and connects to a 3 way tap. If you move tp another rented property, you just reconnect the existing feed and take the filtration system with you.

CYTA SoEasy PAYG

FYI, and apologies if this is old news, we’ve just found out in the Cyta shop in the Kings Mall, that the validity periods for PAYG top ups has changed since we last did a top up, so a €10 top is now valid for 6 months rather than 12, and €5 one for 3 months rather than 6. Something to be aware of, ...

Πι Και Φι (PI & FI). 70 007777 is the main number listed on FB (It’s one of a chain). I think the local number is 26 955252 based on google.

Re: Cyta wireless internet?

You should a;som heck out EcoTech and Cyprus Internet. Depending on wher you are you may fall under the coverage area that EcoTech are able to offer Fibre over the air.

https://cyprusinternet.net/

Both more bang for for your buck than Cyta.
