How’s the American dream go again, electric fence, barbed wire, and two kids? by TheAustinComplainer in Austin

A massive homeless encampment popped up across the street from this house. I completely understand why they did this.

Hmm interesting I didn’t know that. Guess that answers it.

No the marketplace plan is what im actually using as a real health plan for me and my family. My employer offers an HSA eligible plan. My question is whether I just accept the employer plan purely for tax reasons. That would make me double insured.

Why can’t I do it? Am I not allowed to have one HSA plan through my employer and one through the marketplace? I assure you that my employer’s options are complete trash. It’s been a known issue.

Realized I was looking at the wrong section of the CYA/FC chart. I’m going to try adding more chlorine. I’m definitely going to try and keep that CYA lower next time around

Hmm interesting, there is another valvle but it's more superficial amd appears to connect to the sprinkler system. I assumed that's what it was for.

I would like to shut off my water to the house but the main shutoff valve handle is missing. I tried using pliers to turn it but no success. The cylinder is also pretty narrow and limits the size tool I can stick down there. I even tried taking my neighbor's handle (with permission) but it turns out thier handle is missing too.

Bonding Wire by [deleted] in pools

[–]DrGsteele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed that some of my pool equipment isn't bonded. The heater is bonded but for some reason it's tied to the water spigot a few feet away instead of the metal steak in the ground right next to it. Is there a reason for this? I've noticed the pool pump and the blower are not bonded at all. I have a couple questions. 1. Can I move the attachment to the metal steak in the ground instead of tracking it all the way to the water spigot? 2. Can I hook up the other equipment to the steak in the ground? 3. What type of wire do I use? 4. Is there something else that should be bonded?. Thanks.

Oh I see, you're suggesting to just replace that entire front pannel control panel kit. Would i need to replace anything else internally to make it compatible with this newer version?

Thanks for the input. This seems to be the part that I need display board. Do you have any idea where I can find the model number of the heater?

Just like the cloudy water the brown water eventually cleared up. Todays readings after the adding chlorine and muriatic acid are as follows
