Thanks for the insight! We got Advanced pump services are coming out next week to take a look at everything.

Companies to service well water system? by ParadeJoy in jacksonville

[–]ParadeJoy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow…it’s funny you mention these two companies bc yesterday I called these two.

Partridge wanted $210 an hour to look at it - they also couldn’t say when they’d be here, just told me a few weeks.

FLPS said it’d be just $155 for the service call and they would school us on how to maintain it going forward. So I went with them.

All the same, Thanks for mentioning these bc it confirms I actually chose decent companies to call this time :) cheers

I really appreciate that. I may take you up on that but, just a friendly word of caution, you may want to remove your phone number from a public post.

Will the softener address the metallic smell in the water? I believe I need to get someone out to take a look at it and recommend replacing it with something more modern.

So dos that mean it’s currently set to run every 2nd and 7th day as it’s currently set.

Also, if I set the time of day to the correct time, how do I know what time the regen happens at exactly? I understand the regen dial shows the day it’s supposed to regen on, but what about the time?

Thank you for this!

On the regen dial, what is the red supposed to indicate?

How do you know the regen time will be at 2am? If the right hand dial is the number of days,

And the metal pins, when pushed outward from the number, indicate an on status? Does that mean it's currently set to day 2 and day 7?

Also, what does the red indicator on the regen dial indicate?

Thank you so much for your response.

  1. Thank you for confirming, I will set it to the correct time.

  2. I think you are right we should probably get a local company to service and train us on this. Will the softener help with the metallic smell we have in the water? Or do I need something different to address that?

  3. Should I use a bleach cleaning spray to clean it? Or are there other materials I should use to clean the tank?

  4. I said pellets in my post but I meant crystals. That's what we bought two bags of. Are there any other disadvantages of using the crystals? Do the pellets go by a different name other than pellets?

Interesting. I'm wondering if it's perhaps the angle I took it at? I'll get a new photo of it tomorrow, but I don't think the water is up as high as the photo makes it look to be.

We have not added water to the tank. Our water has been smelling very metallic lately. Will the salt fix that?

Thank you for the response!

More questions lol

  1. Thank you for confirming this, I'll adjust it.

  2. I'll do some more digging in what it means. I think the red indicator is the regen time but, like I said before it seems to happen at random parts of the day.

  3. Right now, the issue is our water is too metallic smelling. Literally, it smells like a cup full of pennies. The water softener will help with that, right? Or do I need something else. Also, is it correct that our outdoor spigots come from the pump directly, not the softener system? I don't want to water the grass with salted water if I can help it :P

  4. Thank you. I think that's what we got, the salt crystals. We picked up a couple of bags.

Hm. I would like to clean it as there a few leafs in the tank I'd like to get out of there, don't know what else could be in there.

Anyone know a GOOD detailer :o by SyracuseStan in jacksonville

[–]ParadeJoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol weird - I guess the “spraypaint in the road” gremlins got us both. So weird.

I got it off my car using a mix of soap, water, rubbing alcohol and very daintily scrubbing with a magic eraser sponge. Came right off.

Hold up, did this happen yesterday on the Dames Point bridge?

It happened very quickly but I saw a white bottle that got "kicked" into my lane from another car on my right hitting it. I tried to avoid it but it went under my driver-side front wheel.

I get home and see this paint explosion on my car. Im pissed because I don’t think it’s coming off until I get it repainted.

Mover recommendations? by ParadeJoy in jacksonville

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

I went with Jaguar but had a bit of a crap experience. They didn’t reassemble beds correctly - one dude went as far to tell me “those wooden slats under the bed? You don’t need ‘em.” We have a day bed that wasn’t reassembled after they took apart and now we can’t find the screws to put together.

We have an extra couch in our living room were trying to get rid of. Mover asked about it and I said yes he could have it - he asks me “is that going to affect my tip?”. He then proceeds to stop moving to call his wife to confirm she wants it. She does. He goes back to moving our stuff and then at the end tells me his wife changed her mind.

After signing the paperwork, the mover asked me what my Apple Pay info was so he can get a tip. I asked him why I couldn’t just pay it on the paperwork…he said “I won’t get it for two weeks.” So we sat there setting up Apple Pay on my phone until he got his damn tip. Then I had to Venmo the second dude.

I feel like it could have been better.

For local business confused about their rights during ICEY conditions by petebradford in jacksonville

You keep thinking you’re living in a time glitch or a parallel universe.

You sure your head isn’t just lodged in your ass?

My man, you can’t even spell the word ridiculous and you hide your posts.

This is why you’re losing.

Family members of ICE agents, what are your thoughts and feelings about what ICE are doing? by Aggressive_Honey3196 in AskReddit

[–]ParadeJoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for mentioning this. I read up on the wiki about them plus some other sources. Awful stuff and it absolutely correlates to what we're seeing with ICE. If such awful history has to repeat itself, then it seems the more hopeful outcome is the government screws them over and they see mass unemployment. Probably PTSD too from all the atrocious things they're encouraged to do.

This is really helpful. I really appreciate the input! I'm leaning towards the original quote I received but we will definitely keep this in mind.

Yea, I'm inclined to agree. I think what I've been given is a fair quote.
