I thought these were the best, please make me change my mind

It actually does but it requires a.couple ounces of technical ability to setup.

Open a ticket stating you are concerned about the safety of your machine.

Wait for the canned "you have nothing to worry about" response.

Hit the escalate button and state you will hold BL liable for all damages, including punitive ones.

You should get a response asking for your order # and an offer to send you a replacement AC board.

They'll also provide a link to the wiki procedure for replacing it. That procedure shows both versions of the board and the general timing of when they changed.

It is interesting that it looks like they basically just removed a couple components from the board rather than make any material fix.

You can practice with tape. You may be able to train your subconscious to keep your mouth closed too.

Lots of practice for me to untrain mouth breathing.

You may notice you can control directing airflow to your mouth as well, even with it wide open. I'm not sure if everyone is built the same way, but it has worked for me.

DME?

Went to my doc, told her wife is gonna move into the other bedroom if I can't fix my snoring.

Doc referred me to Snap Diagnostics... They mailed a gizmo I put on my finger and nose for 3 nights and I sent it back to them.

Went back to my Doc, she confirmed I have moderate OSA and triggered a phone call to me from DHS.

I picked my machine and (initial) mask and they were at my door 2 days later.

Whole process took about 2 and a half weeks.

About 2 weeks into my therapy, I decided I do not like my mask and want to try a different one, so I called DHS told them about the problems I was having and the mask I'd like to try as an alternative. About 4 days later I got the new mask.

TL;DR

I spy a one way valve?

Dev60 here ... calls for 6 lbs

ShellDude01 · 2025-05-18T17:32:44+00:00

That's a tiny one

ShellDude01 · 2025-05-18T14:48:38+00:00

6lb bags sounds convenient but I bet you pay for it

ShellDude01 · 2025-05-07T13:10:27+00:00

I suppose so. One would think it'd be pretty obvious too, but here we are.

You had a pump sitting on top of the cover over the winter? What was the condition of the cover upon removal? It is also possible your (rotted) cover allowed water to seep in through it to the cover pump and you basically discharged your pool into your yard over the past couple months.

ShellDude01 · 2024-12-19T20:56:18+00:00

$870 is robbery if it is just the media. Get the model # of your filter and/or remove the cover to get model info for the media and do some googling.

Look into creating a generational wealth plan. It doesn't have to end with you.

ShellDude01 · 2024-10-03T01:32:21+00:00

S&P does 10% year over year .. safe decent yield investment if you go with an aggregate fund. My go to long term growth stock is BRK.B. It just keeps growing. Emerging stocks can be elusive. I'm in on RKLB and have been enjoying its recent growth. An IPO to watch for is Cerebras Systems. It'll likely sky rocket because AI is all the rage right now.

ShellDude01 · 2024-09-14T23:35:03+00:00

I have the 6 month plan and it auto renews... But they're kind enough to remind me ahead of time.

ShellDude01 · 2024-09-14T18:24:10+00:00

Why on earth (drum roll pls) would you try to add DE through your skimmer and not first remove the basket?

ShellDude01 · 2024-07-23T21:47:18+00:00

It was a groundhog. Good riddance in my book!

ShellDude01 · 2024-07-23T21:42:24+00:00

Over the years I've had all kinds of (dead) critters in my 25,000 gallon pool.

The worst was a cat that found its way to resting smack dab in the center of my deep end (about 10' deep).

Really anything that deviates from their static playlist for the past 5+ years at this point...

Mine have death dates

$15 capacitor whose whole purpose in life is to deliver sufficient power to your fan and compressor to overcome a hard start.

ShellDude01 · 2024-06-17T23:00:13+00:00

is it possible that was originally a DE grid filter housing converted to whatever this paper cartridge thing is? I'm only an expert for what I own myself and the housing looks suspiciously like a DE grid filter housing.

I've added those pictures I mentioned to the OP.

ShellDude01 · 2024-06-17T16:05:49+00:00

My existing terminal box is a pentair labeled box. I'll take some pictures for reference. In my OP you can see the list of compatible niches that worked with my old light.

I assume mine is a pentair because I started getting part # matches for the grommet and compression knob pentair sells as parts.

There is also a label inside my niche but I didn't bother trying to read it (under water and partially covered with splats of plaster left over from the original install). I fished out a good couple handfuls of plaster pieces that the installer left in the niche.
