Red means cool and blue means cool

When I came to Khobar in a well known hotel "BOUDL" and called manager with a complain that hot water is not coming in the bathroom, he also took 10 minutes to fix this but failed and he called plumber, plumber said why are you turning handle of tap towards Red mark he change it towards blue mark and very hot water starts comming.

When I changed the room I have applied the same formula and it works.

My question ?? Will I found this change in all over KSA or it the unique Marketing Technique of this hotel ?

No clue.. :blink::blink:

but I dont think thats how it is in most hotels. maybe they got ht pipes wrong or something....

Hello Automation,

I don't see any marketing concepts/strategy in that :/! (Or, you want to highlight the rapidity that this hotel handles complaint)

I agree with red goblin, may be piping issue!

You need to understand the plumbing, water, electricity, communication culture of the region if you want to survive successfully in the desert.

How many apartment toilets have you seen in KSA where

- the door hits the wash basin or sometimes even the commode when you open it?

- the water pump that sends the water from the sump to the tank on the roof is located in front of the building entrance where you have to jump over it to enter?

- the tiles keep falling off the walls

- the roof garden gets water logged during a rain shower since they didn't think it necessary to provide a drainage outlet for the water?

- they have constructed triangular shaped rooms that were squeezed into the space available?

- live electrical cables hang dangerously down from the roof and walls?

- floor tiles on the sidewalks are unevenly laid making it a death trap to people who walk on them?

- stairways in buildings have uneven height steps?

Ive seen them all and in abundance across the divide from east to west and north to south.

@ MM: that right, you forgot, metal caging to protect the pump which is kept outside with usually some amount of electricity flowing through it.
Window a/c s kept at head height out onto the side walk
Doors within a flat that open inside and outside randomly.
ROoms with no windows!!

yep, i only mentioned a few anomalies which I am sure are not genuine mistakes but total flaws in the execution by dimwit contractors who do not know the difference between a triangle and a square...

unless they implement some basic minimum standards that are monitored and approved by an administrative authority we will continue to see these half baked construction go on forever.
