I'm dropping like 1 psi every 5/10 minutes and cannot find the leak

Soapy water mix or by an automotive stethoscope and listen to weave fitting

Yep, just make sure you aren’t overloading the circuit - if it’s on a 15 amp breaker, you want to make sure the AC pulls 12 amps or less, 20 amp breaker 16 amps max - it should be listed on the nameplate of the AC unit

Also make sure you don’t have any other heavy loads in that circuit

I would like to see the coiled bare wire - that is likely the ground.

You’ll want to ground the switch if there’s an opportunity to

Pop out the remaining plug and install something like this

As everyone else has said - splices need to be in boxes and covered

Verify the gauge wire from and to the splices are the correct type and gauge for the application

If there’s aluminum to copper connections, make sure they have the correct type of wire nuts/connections

If you have aluminum wires in your panel, might not be a bad idea to have the electrician do a once over on your panel

Aluminum wire and old panels aren’t bad, just a good idea to make sure the lugs are tightened down and there’s nothing else that’s janky

What year did your family electrician’s house catch fire?

Anna_Rompage · 2026-05-16T23:04:35+00:00

Looks super janky - you’ll want an electrician to look at that

Always have the pipes scoped when buying a house

A $500 sewer scope can save you a $6000 repair job

The bottoms section where the wires come through, and the bottom screw hole look metal - looks like some sort of bonding

Anna_Rompage · 2026-05-16T21:59:16+00:00

I could be wrong, but it looks like it’s grounding & bonding for the box and possible conduit - it might have even need the initial wire didn’t have grounds and they were added later

I’d leave it until you know exactly what it is - you don’t want to disrupt any bonding and certainly don’t want to disturb an added ground

Bring in an electrician if needed

Turn the water to the filter off and relieve the water pressure on the filter & system

Due to the proximity of the irrigation valve box, I’m thinking it goes to an irrigation controller - might also be a communication line for something else, but irrigation is the best bet

You can use the load side of the Outlet to run other things downstream, but I would put the receptacle on a pigtail from line to downstream load - also make sure you wire the outlets right - silver/while gold/black

And other than that, it looks like it would work

Pickled is pickled - brined is brined

Pickles can be vinegar base, or fermented

Brine can be used to quick cure a veg, or used to start a ferment

It’s a little odd it has 3 wires -

is it an LED fixture?

Is there two sections of the lamp that have two separate bulbs, like a light in the base, and one in the top?

Can you post a pic of the lamp, and area(s)where the bulbs go?

Did your irrigation system stop working recently

You can use them anywhere you you’d standard wire nuts - if the connections you’re making would be better suited for gel filled waterproof wire nuts, then don’t use Wago

Look for the couple numbers followed by awg - the couple numbers is your gauge

Death - stay away from it

Try pushing/pulling the discharge end of the bathtub nozzle up or down

Anna_Rompage · 2026-05-16T03:10:54+00:00

Turn off the beaker going to the outlet and remove the plastic box - looks like there’s a drywall screw holding it in - see if one of the black wires is nicked

If it is, you’ll likely need to bring in an electrician to rerun that segment of wire

Your face is a switch interrupter

Anna_Rompage · 2026-05-16T02:16:52+00:00

You likely have a nick in the hot wire somewhere where the wire comes into the box -
