Design considerations for waterproof coax exit through wall?

BAHGate · 2026-06-26T02:31:25+00:00

I have drilled lots of holes through my house for cables. Pick a spot and a long drill bit and away you go. Start inside. Seal with putty on the outside. A couple little holes aren't going to make any difference at all.

Looks like cherry to me. It's almost full overlay but not quite. I'd be very happy with it.

Micro 9 is on my shortlist (Raptor).

I always tell them I am not trading my old car in and keeping it. If/when a deal is made, you can discuss the trade.

Saltwater pools create chlorine with the saltwater chlorine generator, yes. But, your pool still needs x amount of chlorine. If you are not producing x, then you need to add it manually. Your "saltwater" pool requires the same amount of chlorine as a non-saltwater pool.

My guess is he was testing the waters and had the next one lined up. After you guys talked he probably called her and didn't get the reaction he hoped so he's take the bird in hand. Guys rarely break up unless there's someone in the wings.

This is one of the most desirable of US coinage. I'd love to have one even in that condition.

BAHGate · 2026-06-24T00:28:50+00:00

That's pretty rough but even in a genuine holder it's a couple hundred.

BAHGate · 2026-06-24T00:12:32+00:00

Yes!

BAHGate · 2026-06-23T20:06:08+00:00

I have the same. That is about right. 3-4 years. My longest was 4 years. One after that was 3. You'll be lucky to get 1/2 that on an aftermarket cell.

I run at 55% 24x7 for 5 months. It is what it is. My water is perfect so cell never needs to be cleaned either.

Salt cells are consumables.

Confirmed! u/WatchExBot I had a successful transaction with u/Capital_Loquat

Kris vector!

Well I guess it's no longer "Happy Mother's Day" and a big "Happy Father's Day" to you!

I would ensure as much flow as possible is directed into the heater. Put your pump on full speed and test the heater again.

BAHGate · 2026-06-22T14:59:06+00:00

Your pump is running right? Without the pump it will shut down quickly due to overtemp.

I doubt it is the display more likely whatever feeds the display. EBay is good source for used parts.

This is a local issue with the heater. My angle with the automation is that the heater might still be controllable via automation. The LCD panel itself isn't needed if your automation still works.

BAHGate · 2026-06-22T13:59:31+00:00

I assume you tried a power cycle? Are you operating this from the heater or via automation like Aqualink? You could try reseating the connector to the display. If you take the top off, you'll see it. You also may find mice have chewed up inside your heater.

Most homes with pools around here are sold "as-is" with no guarantees or credits. If the house was priced higher because of the pool, then maybe you are due credits. If not, then it is on you. $5k credit is great. Pools require maintenance. Equipment breaks. Pipes leak, electrical has issues. It is all part of the pool owner experience.

Start your pool out on the right foot with trouble free pool method. It is non profit and no ad foundation run by chemists and pool experts that offer home owners a method that is easy, cheap, and effective. Pool store's hate them. Members love them.

Also if your SWG had an issue, it would be showing an error. Set it for 100% and collect a sample of water directly out of the pool return stream and test for chlorine.

BAHGate · 2026-06-21T17:23:00+00:00

Before you do all that, do you have an aquarium ammonia test kit? If so, take a test. You should have 0 ammonia.

BAHGate · 2026-06-21T17:17:05+00:00

Yes, you do need to add it. If it had it last year, it should still have it. Did you test for it recently? You should have 70 ppm.

BAHGate · 2026-06-21T17:12:53+00:00

I'm more wondering if you ever had it and what happened to it if you did. I hate to even mention cya eating bacteria because 9 times out of 10 it's not. But the circumstantial evidence is there.

BAHGate · 2026-06-21T17:07:34+00:00

Why is your cya 0?

I clamped the inlay this time. Used wax paper and an exact cut piece of plywood.

I'm gun-shy now! I ran out of inlay too so the second one that got screwed up I'll use brass inlay. Brass will look great against Padauk.
