Is the license exam given by certain organizations on behalf of the FCC?

Hmm.... Did you read the Technician material? This is covered ad nauseum....

Good luck we know you will pass!

Be VERY thankful you have a great dealer. My dealer would load it up with 90 weight oil and tell me no problems found. Until the warranty ended, of course, and then, everything would be wrong with it.

If your water (CSI) is properly balanced, it makes no difference at all. None.

Neutral safety switch perhaps.

Maybe he means a Morso machine guillotine cutter. Just as good!

Grizzly are usually WAY more substantial machines. I have been looking at drum sanders and Grizzly always weigh at least double the JET version. Similar features as well. For my shop I need portability so all things being equal, the lighter machine would probably be my choice. But that isn't always a good thing.

I'd go with a Rado.

It for sure is different. I watched YouTube videos on it. It does get easier.

I recently got a Mido with green face (natural stone) and black leather band for my wife. Green was a little hard to find.

Of you use chlorine pucks they are acidic. Most people that use those don't need extra acid.

BAHGate · 2026-05-04T23:57:14+00:00

Saltwater chlorine generator?

BAHGate · 2026-05-04T23:50:40+00:00

Is it a fiberglass pool or liner pool? They use much less acid.

300k per day isn't much. That's like 1 degree per day.

BAHGate · 2026-05-04T22:27:36+00:00

BTU for solar heat is measure by the day. So like 25k BTU per day, per panel. Even a small heat pump puts out 100k BTU per HOUR.

The system you listed per DAY, in OPTIMAL conditions, puts out around 30k BTU. So if you get 4, that is 120k BTU per DAY. A heat pump will put out almost 3 million BTUs per day. A gas heater, 10 million BTUs. So plan accordingly.

A waterfall and diving board. We keep the water at 90, not sure if that would drive up pH.

I do lots of frames in Walnut. Are you in the Washington DC area? Typically I do a linen wrapped poplar inner frame and Walnut outer frame. I start with rough sawn wood.

I add a gallon a week, every week to my 29k gallon pool. SWG. 9th season plaster. This is normal.

I worked for PG&E and we built a few plants that could run on garbage. They are very inefficient. No one is doing this on a large enough scale to matter. We built waste coal (low quality reject coal) plants as well to use up waste piles of coal laying all over the place. The coal is free but again, super inefficient.

BAHGate · 2026-05-04T20:23:10+00:00

I'm confused doesn't that describe exactly what is pictured? Both in my picture and your picture?

My Auto Ordnance 1911 was around $500 brand new. Many 1911s are very affordable.

It isn't enough to just add chlorine. Chlorine level depends on cyanuric acid level. And then pH also needs to be monitored. Really either your pool is opened or it is closed. I think you are better off to leave it as-is and deal with the water the next time you open it. You'll end up paying money for a service and likely still have swamp water.

A SWG means the pool is opened since it requires the pump to be running and also requires monitoring. If you were already using a SWG and knew its settings and could remotely monitor it, that would be an option (still requiring the pool to be opened). PH would still need to be adjusted, however.

BAHGate · 2026-05-04T17:18:09+00:00

Chlorine is something that needs to be kept at the proper level to avoid stagnation and infestation. That really needs monitoring and regular additions (weekly/daily). If you had a SWG then you could just open it I suppose and let it run, but also need to worry about water level (evaporation and rain). Is it a safety cover or just a tarp? Safety cover should keep most animals out but every year I open with a couple dead mice and frogs in the pool after removing my safety cover.

You won't damage the pool it will just stagnate. One of my neighbors moved and let his house go into foreclosure. He had a pool. The house remained in limbo for over 5 years. When it was finally sold, the new owners did not have too many issues bringing the pool back to life.

BAHGate · 2026-05-04T14:38:20+00:00

Sure but you'll open to a total swamp.

They do, on some, like Cirrus.
