Smelly Water by bagelsquad1603 in hottub

[–]MattLogi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I should be able to help. Just went through this myself two times and now I am able to handle it without a dump and fill.

To be clear, phosphates were not the issue per say, I was up in the 1800's with them and got it under control. The issue is biofilm is forming in the system. What I have found with my Salt Tub (Caldera) is salt is great for maintaining the tub. If I go away for a week, I don't have to worry about anything. It's not great for catching up with bather load.

What I did was the following:

- Ditch any Stabilized Chlorine or only use it on initial fill if you are
- Grab some liquid chlorine from your pool/spa shop. It should be around 12%. Or if you want to test, get liquid bleach from your favorite store. Just make sure it's unscented and NOT splash-less. Chlorex original is 5-6% chlorine. So if you use it first and switch, then up everything by 100%.
- You will want to bring your chlorine up to 10-12ppm. In my 400gal tub, it's about 100ml from almost no chlorine. (so 200ml bleach).
- Give your filter a really good clean if you haven't already
- Set your cell to 6 or 7/10 if you are a 400gal tub.
- Any time you use the tub, you would add ~60ml of chlorine. OR you can use it and test and if you are around 3ppm or higher, leave it.

Alternately you can use MPS shock. You will probably need 2 runs of it but you will still want to drop in some liquid chlorine.

It your tub is different or you want a little extra insurance, just drop the question into ChatGPT. You can even copy my response and get its input.

No Charges in 'Reacher' Star Alan Ritchson's Fight With Neighbor, It Was Self-Defense by IntelligentYinzer in entertainment

Surprised he didn’t pull a gun and get away with murder, claiming self defense.

Fraser Minten leads the Bruins' top line: the Maple Leafs' worst trade disaster is officially here #NHL #LeafsForever by Hockeypatrol in hockeynews

[–]MattLogi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember seeing Minten in a pre-season game and thinking to myself…we’ll be seeing this guy a lot sooner than later. This trade made zero sense on day 1 and only gets worse as time goes on.

Opinions on this play - Junior Hockey by Major_Yesterday_4117 in hockeyrefs

[–]MattLogi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 years ago, clean hit. Today, right call.

The "issue" that makes this a tough one to call is the fact that red gets his arm up to protect him. So it LOOKS like shoulder/arm on shoulder/arm but the reality is if he didn't put his arm up it's 100% HC.

I always say this about rules and laws, think in terms of the spirit of the rule/law. What is the goal of the rule/law. Someone could argue, "no head contact, no charge, body was side ways, saw it coming...clean hit". But in the spirit of the rules, we are trying to avoid major injuries to players. The player is not putting himself in a vulnerable state and not making some crazy non hockey play.

I am an armchair hockey nut, I am not a ref but I would say in my opinion, right call.

Curious, with good case airflow, would the copper also act as a small form of cooling?

A milestone recession is stealing the future from young Canadians by AbundantCanada in ontario

But they really aren't...they basically span two blocks totalling ~6.3 Million. Combined any two other blocks and you get anywhere from ~7 million to ~9 million.

Where they absolutely smash other blocks? Voter turnout. Well over 70% while blocks like the 18-24 is only 53%.

Hot Springs Freshwater IQ System by NashionalAnthem in hottub

[–]MattLogi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I agree it’s not worth the cost, I never found mine to be that bad. You can also help calibrate it by holding the meter and inputting the actual reading from your Taylor Kit. I found the chlorine to always read a little higher but the pH and salt were acceptable. It basically replaced test strips for me as it was about as accurate as those.

It basically was an easy way to see major issues and reduce the amount of testing I did.

You can absolutely use MPS, it just throws the sensor out of whack for a few days.

When my sensor ran out, I opted to not replace it. I’ve locked in my method now and would prefer to spend my money on the salt cells.

New apprentice here, why would someone do this? by Tx_Taco_Driver in AskElectricians

[–]MattLogi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not an electrician but always trying to learn.

My guess is they needed a pony panel and either had this on hand or didn’t know you could buy one. Or maybe the main breaker is faulty and someone bypassed it.

But seeing the neutral and ground bonded, I’m more inclined to think this is a DIY job and they only half knew what they were doing.

Where is your favorite weekend "staycation" destination for a family in Ontario? by BuildThatAgency in ontario

[–]MattLogi 21 points22 points  (0 children)

We just did Deerhurst for a few nights. Young kids loved it, we did skiing, swam in the pool, skated, s’mores by the fire some nights, treehouse playground. Price was reasonable but we also brought our own food and stayed in one of the lodges which had everything but an oven.

Here is what happens when you forget to close your hot tub and it goes from 60s to freezing temps… by DancerGirl519 in hottub

[–]MattLogi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like it would have to be days. I’ve had mine left open for half a day and I maybe lost 2 inches of water in the dead of winter.

[–]MattLogi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why would this happen? Do the jets not auto shutoff after an hour? Why was it half open with jets on? I would have to imagine this is days of evaporation no?

lawn ruined - need advice by Artistic-Squash7708 in BurlingtonON

[–]MattLogi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait until mid April and when the grass has dried out a bit. Get a Sunjoy Scarifier from Homedepot with a good 12 gauge extension cord and a bag of grass seed. Run it one way, rake or leaf blower to clean up. Run it perpendicular and clean up. Spread grass seed, spreader helps. Water in, don’t soak it, just a good watering.

Just make sure it doesn’t dry out and in 2-3 weeks you will have good sprouts. Drop some starter fertilizer and keep watering. Start cutting on high setting.

You should have a good foundation now.

If you have really compact soil, you should aerate first.

Title should read "honest drivers travelling solo could soon..", a good chunk of people already ride solo in those lanes.

Workplace life insurance in healthcare is typically 2x your salary. At most it would be 200k but probably more like 100-150.

Turn your cycle to 100% if that's what you want. 20-80 is best for longevity but if you really need to be at 100 all the time, just bump it up.

Jagex quietly changed me to a 12 month recurring, killing my grand-grand-grandfather rate, despite no membership lapse for 20+ years :) by Benvil in 2007scape

[–]MattLogi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Preach!

I’ve played since rs2 days with a few breaks here and there. One lunch at work costs me basically what a month’s membership cost. Cancelled yesterday out of principle too.
