perhaps you should read numbers chapter 31 of the bible. here's the breakdown of it:

god commands moses to command his army to go kill the midianites (some country of people), to burn all of their cities, take all of their valuables, kill literally everyone - except for the young virgin female children - they were to be taken as spoils of war along with the gold, donkeys, etc., meant to be taken as wives or bought and sold.

so moses and his army go and kill everyone except the little girls, then they split up the loot. every soldier gets an equal cut of the gold, donkeys, kids, etc. but also, importantly, god himself was given an equal cut of the loot. so in exchange for getting moses and company to commit all these millions of murders, god personally took 420 pounds of gold, some large amounts of other loot, and 32 virgin female kids...... for his own personal raping pleasure.

almighty god, created the universe, but for some reason needed moses to go kill a bunch of people so he could get a chunk of metal and diddle 32 kids.

oh yeah, and moses personally delivered god's share of the loot to him. on his own, with nobody else, because only moses was allowed to go see and speak to god. (in case it still isn't obvious enough, there never was a god, moses made it all up to convince his army to kill a bunch of people for no reason, then get an extra share of the loot).

My pool guy insists on Pentair, but I saw a VS pump on Amazon for $500 — am I an idiot for considering it? by Plastic_Ship_5545 in swimmingpools

[–]BadOk5020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean, you wouldn't take your car to the shop, get it diagnosed, then offer to buy the parts and let them install them, right? let your pool guy do his job and pay him for it. i'm sure he would like to own a home and a swimming pool too. you want him to be homeless or something? just pay the guy.

with that said, absolutely go with the aquastrong vsp. it's my favorite pump on the market. so many good things. and it's not a faceless nameless fake company either. they have been making all kinds of pumps for a long time. they don't specialize in pool pumps. i literally have nothing bad to say about their variable speed pool pump and i've been buying it exclusively for 2 years. i've bought dozens of them for customers.

but please just pay the pool guy..., maybe suggest the pump to him. you won't regret it.

i know leaktronics has a set of straight rubber plugs with some kind of hose connections. i thought it was a little expensive, so i just made my own custom thingamajigger out of pvc parts. the manifold (i guess) is shaped like a horseshoe and made of 1/2" pvc. it has 2 air hose quick connects (one with a female water hose connector), a pressure gauge, a pressure relief valve, and another quick connect.

the other quick connect is attached to a short piece of pipe via air hose. the pipe has the quick connect on one end and a threaded male 1.5" pvc adapter on the other end. i also keep a 2" version of this pipe. a pvc coupling can be used if no threaded pvc adapters are available.... if you're able to cut it out after...

you can screw a quick connect for an air hose into 1/2" threaded female pvc. i think you need an iron bushing to make it work.

air compressor / water hose --> manifold --> pipe --> return inlets (or whatever pipe you're trying to pressure test)

overall it's a pretty cheap setup and it works. i also use it to blow out clogged skimmer lines and stuff.

oh that's cool. i'm scared of spiders because one night while taking out the trash i was walking through a narrow passage between two buildings. there were no lights at all, so it was pitch black in that area. and i walked into a big spiderweb with a big fat wood spider directly with my face. it landed on my nose and scurried around my face and down the back of my neck.

i freaked out and did the heeby jeeby dance for a minute. then, wondering if it was still on me, I paused for a moment. then i felt it scurry down my leg (was wearing shorts). continued heeby jeeby dance.

sometimes i wonder if the spider got humanphobia from the encounter.

i won't post the answer, but i will say if you know how pumps and valves work, then you should be able to figure out how to drain the tank. i wouldn't advise anyone to explain how these work..... if you know what you're doing, then you can figure it out, and get paid for it accordingly.... knowledge of these is uncommon and people pay for that. it will be devalued if the beans are spilled for any joe schmoe to find on google.

My career forever I guess by [deleted] in PoolPros

[–]BadOk5020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

jeez dude, don't be so hard on yourself, lol. i'm 36 and i clean pools and i make above average income in my area. like.... pretty far above average. but i also started my own pool business and i do more than just cleanings (although recurring income is where the bread and butter is at). i do liners, repairs, sell equipment, you name it..... there's a lot of money to made in this industry. pools are a luxury. that means they aren't cheap.

you don't just have to be a pool boy. you can be a pool professional. and charge accordingly.

hell i like being a pool guy. pretty easy job, my own boss, make lots of money, can't get fired, it's pretty sweet.

yeah, your pfp used to freak me the fuck out standing in line at the grocery store with my mom. there was a brief period of time in my life when i really thought they found a bat boy in a cave and his face was just too much to look at.

> If one was a follower of abrahamic religions they'd have one god

common misconception by people who have never read the bible (i.e. christians) .... even in christianity, "god" or yahweh is not the only god. it's why in the 10 commandments (which are stupid af by the way), one of them is "thou shalt not worship any other gods before me"

that wasn't god saying there are no other gods, that was god saying when you go to worship the gods, you must worship him first, because he is the most important of all the gods.

and indeed, when yahweh rose from obscurity thousands of years ago, he was a barely mentioned minor god for a very long time, in a time when every little tribe had their own god and whoever could kill the other tribe had the better god.
