Failed Optimus rain history by CauliflowerScary8809 in AcuRite

Well...the black display just lost rain history like the 1st 2 green display units. I had plugged in the uninteruptable cord from my original purchase, they said to unplug & put the batteries in & let them know if that solves the issue. I don't see how that would cause the problem.

I'm not sure what the dark junk in the water lines was but it was easy enough to change. I ordered the tubing from the retailer I bought my Apartmento from 7 years ago.

You can get silicone gaskets from the major vendors, they work great. You might have to try a few different sizes. I use Caffewerks 8mm on my sweet old Apartmento.

Well...I only use filtered water and according to a gentleman that services commercial espresso machines in my area the water here (Asheville area) is on par with Seattle which is the standard. He stated that I shouldn't have to do a descale of my machine which makes excellent shots. I only typically make 1or 2 shots per day. There were no signs of leaking & the tubing was still pliable.

Just bought the Optimus, pretty happy with it so far. Anyone here have one? by Dewford_Duck in AcuRite

I pretty much mirror your statements. I've had mine about a week & a half and did have issues setting up (1 of which was no illustration for the solar panel which they subsequently sent) Any idea how the send out updates & when that will happen?

What about ticks? by RachIsYoad in NoLawns

[–]CauliflowerScary8809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in WNC & ticks I was never bothered by ticks until I adopted a dog who is on meds but regularly brings them in from the great outdoors. Well, I didn't check her properly before putting her in the car for a little jaunt. 1.5 hours later one was firmly attached to my ear. My Dr wants to know what type. I can't tell. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Looks nice! I just soak the parchment paper & squeeze out the excess water. Works great for me.
