Comfort & Convenience🛋️
Water & Energy
Hot Water: Rooftop solar heater works like magic ☀️. Drag the knob to the left, wait a minute, and you'll have steaming hot water.
If the water isn't hot, turn the boiler on 30 minutes before showering (bathroom wall switch). Turn it off after.
Water pump switch: kitchen wall near the stove. Do not turn it off. If pressure feels low, check the switch is ON.
Tap water: great for cooking 🍳. Use bottled water for drinking 💧
Electricity is precious on the island 💡. Turn off the AC when you're out, and keep windows and doors closed when it's running.
Before going to sleep, turn off the terrace lights and the main entrance light.
