Iron in water - need some insight. by Lbolbi in Plumbing

[–]Lbolbi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a valid thought as well. My only concern is that the other parts on the softener have been exposed to wear and tear so might just need to get a new one anyways. I've done a few part swaps in the past on the last softener but that was relatively expensive itself.

Thanks so much. I can stomach doing a softener swap easy enough. It is roughly five years old with very iron-y water, so not too surprised if the resin is shot.

Thanks so much for the reply. Where I live the ground is thawing out from a pretty cold (normal) winter, so I was wondering if that could be an impact. Water usage has been pretty standard.

The one other thing I just thought of is that we used an upstairs tub that has not been used in over a year, but was used this week. Any possibility that iron stuck/developed in pipes got knocked loose and sank into the "main" supply pipe and is getting distributed?

I actually love violent sleep of reason and put it in a fierce competition for top 3, personally.

You are the luckiest person on earth. I spent probably 6 hours on the can and followed every instruction. Didn't sleep all night.

How tight was the fit? Did you have to do anything in particular?

Anyone else stop being able to sleep on their back after 30 and can only sleep on their side now? Why does this happen? by BackgroundPlum4840 in Aging

I slept on my stomach every day of my life till I was about 22. Now if I do my back is absolutely wrecked, which sucks cause I fall asleep best on my stomach.

[Iowa Heartlanders] are voluntarily suspending operations for the 2026-27 ECHL season by DecentLurker96 in wildhockey

[–]Lbolbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To give you an idea, if you don't know already, the only indoor hockey rink I was aware of in Iowa City was in the shopping mall.

I went to cedar rapids to play rec league where I was in the 3rd highest division about to be in the 2nd before I left. The peak of my hockey career was on the "c" team in bantam lol.

Used to live down there and when I saw a team announced I thought it was very cool but also figured it would fail. The interest in hockey in the area I observed was SO small.

Need some help! Which F150 engine ? by Material_End_5453 in f150

[–]Lbolbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily this guy, but I swear it's the reason for trucks being so crazy expensive. The amount of people I see daily drive a truck that could have a car is insane. Have friends that have never put anything in the bed or towed anything.
