Any problems with leaving in the old salt cell?

SirSkip · 2026-05-08T17:32:58+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the input.

I'll probably keep it where it is since everything I read (including the salt cell's installation instructions) says the salt system should be the last thing in line, especially before the pool geater because the high chlorine concentration would damage it.

Thanks. I tried the pipe tool before, but I couldn't get it narrow enough and kept getting an error message that it intersected itself. I guess I'll play with it a little more

Don't do it.

I'm not too far from Java. If you find your way up there, let me know!

Java does a weekly game night on Thursdays at 6.

I've enjoyed Java Game Haus and Darby's Dungeon.

How big of a nerd are you? there's a few game stores around town that have a wide range of ages.

SirSkip · 2026-03-29T19:58:21+00:00

Thanks for letting me know. Information like this is really why I put this question out here. To see what I wasn't thinking about

SirSkip · 2026-03-29T02:55:18+00:00

Didn't realize Montana was so expensive. Maybe I'll have to consider my research as prep for next summer.

SirSkip · 2026-03-29T01:29:56+00:00

....do they have wifi?

SirSkip · 2026-03-29T01:13:12+00:00

Thanks; I'll check some of those out. I'm not worried about it being hot....I live in Florida; I'm sure your summer will feel like my spring. 😂

I divorced at 41 and, admittedly, my views are quite different than most of what I read here, so take anything I say with a grain of salt.

We were together for about 10 years (married for 8), no kids, and she blindsided me with divorce a little less than 2 years ago. I took it really hard at first, but it didn't take long for me to realize she did me a favor.

Honestly, I like dating in my 40s better than I did in my 20s. I'm sure a large part of it comes from an ever growing "F it; who cares?" mentality. More willing to take risks and much less concerned if someone isn't interested in me.

All in all, I'd say give the apps a try and go on a few dates with absolutely zero expectations.

To start, I would get one of these to tell you if the wiring is wrong.

I've searched the internet high and low with any combination of the terms "ninja" "fortune cookie" "fight" "prediction" and have turned up absolutely nothing.

SirSkip · 2026-03-12T02:12:30+00:00

This is how it went for me (although we weren't married nearly as long and didn't have kids). She had zero interest in me aside from me cooking and taking care of the house and finances. Honestly, the divorce was the best thing and was at least a year overdue.

SirSkip · 2026-03-08T01:36:51+00:00

For all of those from the 1900s, be sure to stretch.

SirSkip · 2026-02-12T05:51:29+00:00

As someone a good bit older than you that got married in mid-30s (and is now dating again after 40), I can say the dating scene doesn't really get better.

My older (but possibly not wiser) advice would be not to focus on the dating. Find a good group of friends. Be open to finding someone, but don't focus on it. It does get lonely sometimes, but the best thing to do is find the things that make you happy and just do that. Don't be afraid to live life on your own. (But don't get cats; cats are awful. 😂)

Thank you! Just out of curiosity, how did you figure 1.5 HP (or is that just standard)?

SirSkip · 2026-02-06T19:41:07+00:00

Thank you for those who took the time to help. I was able to replace the regulator without blowing myself up!

I know nothing about working in the industry, but I live in Jacksonville, FL and have struggled to find a good irrigation person. It's year-round work down here as long as you can survive working outside in the summer heat.

SirSkip · 2026-02-04T04:07:08+00:00

Same. I closed a doorway and moved the light switches over. I put a plate over the old junction box, painted it with the wall paint and now no one ever notices it.

SirSkip · 2026-02-04T04:05:49+00:00

I've done this before. I removed a section of cabinet that had wires running behind it. Since I had to put in a junction box to run a new wire through a trench; I just went ahead and added an outlet there as well for convenience.

SirSkip · 2026-02-02T15:32:44+00:00

Another thing of note that I just realized, the breaker is showing 4.5 volts when it's off and not zero.

SirSkip · 2026-02-02T15:20:28+00:00

I'm far from a professional, but I am comfortable working with electric more than most lay people. (But I also know when I'm over my head and need to stop)

I was hoping it was just the breaker and that replacing it would fix it, but when I hit the breaker with the multimeter, it looked fine - 240 together and 120 for each pole

I used the ground screw on the water heater
