    Seeking Nikken Distributor

    Hi all,

    I bought the Nikken water purifier from some computer store & I would prefer someone else to be my distributor, as he didn't do as he said he would one day plus his English isn't the greatest.

    I don't know much about how often to change the filter(s) b/c even though he told me every 6 months, with the kind of chlorine they are dumping into the water these days (GROSS) & the fact that I use this quite a bit every day, I'm thinking I may need to change it sooner.

    Looking for someone kind who really knows their way around this machine.

    Thanks

    Michelle
    P.S. And while I'm at it, can someone tell me WHY this is the only water purifier I see in Panama? A lot of the high end restaurants have them too. Am I missing something?

    Not a huge fan of that machine. Had it my first few years here. Much better tech out there. Cost more - but can't compare. PM me if you want my opinion.

    All he is asking is if someone knows another place he can go to. Why you always need to come with this ridiculous reactions? I dont talk shit about panamanians that dont know english, but since my spanish still sucks i do prefer to go to companies where i can communicate a bit in english. Whats wrong with that?

    if SHE wants to know something just ask if anyone knows about ( whatever ) she feels the need to take a shot at the locals , if SHE had done any reasearch on panama before SHE moved here SHE would not have to ask the million stupid questions SHE has asked . thats why LOL

    Ok yes SHE i didnt notice it was HER ..
    Why are you always so sensitive about panama? Its a normal question and she explains why she wants to know it. Still dont see anything wrong with it. She didnt say these dumb monkeys should learn go english or anything..
    I think actually you maybe didnt realize very well where you were retiring to, and now you do all you can to keep the picture in your head of the great retirement destination, while deep within you know you made a dumb choice to move to this shithole. But hey dont beat yrself up over it. You probably havent seen much of the world and just didnt know. And definetely dont beat others up over it cause this is a place where people should be able to ask questions.

    Who says i work here? Who says i cant move? Why do you assume so much? You dont know a thing about me yet you call me a broke working socialist who never owned a business and hates panama. You should buy a new crystal ball.

    If youd love it here so much then you wouldnt get all sensitive every time you hear anything that sounds even slightly negative about panama.

    and i dont hate it here. I just dont think its anything special either.

    Still looking for a filter if someone can recommend their English speaking Nikken distributor in & around PC, that would be much appreciated.

    Thanks
