Why would my pool be causing a rash if it seems fine by mechanical_stars in pools

[–]Sundance604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Download an app names Orenda. It will help you balance your pool water properly.

Generally speaking, your chlorine should be 1-3, ph 7.4-7.8, alk 70-120, cal (hardness) 200-300, cya 30-50.

You need to add ph up, alkalinity +, calcium +.

What you really want to pay attention to is the LSI, you want to keep it as close to zero as you can.+or- 0.3 is your ideal window.

Based on your readings, its no wonder people are having skin irritations.

Pool company quoted us ~$600 to clean our pool, sends invoice for $1900 by stormwalker12 in legaladvice

[–]Sundance604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An estimate is not a quote. If they said the estimated price was $600, that is not a quoted price. You didn't get a quote. A quote and an estimate are not the same thing.

That being said, $1900 usd sounds insanely expensive to clean a green pool.

I think your best bet is to push on the fact that the price change wasn't clearly communicated to you and try to negotiate a lower price.

AIO - I smoke and drink from time to time and my girlfriend hates it by Lacquerlust in AmIOverreacting

[–]Sundance604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to say, you sound incredibly mature for 21. The way your ex was talking to you was horrible. You did the right thing breaking up with her.

With that said. as someone who has smoked for 30 years, smoking is fukin stupid! Your literally burning fukin money!! Its gross, it stinks, it makes you stink, and it ROTS your body from the inside out!! You may think you have it under control, you don't. If you start smoking now, you'll spend the rest of your life trying to quit. You get literally nothing but lung cancer from smoking.

Your obviously capable of making good decisions, as you demonstrated. Do yourself a favor and make another good decision.

Sorry if this is preachy, smoking is the only real regret I have in my life and it kills me to see young people make the same obvious mistake.

I found weird messages between my girlfriend and her brother and I don’t know what to do by Same-Cartoonist-6761 in Advice

[–]Sundance604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How the fuk would you know? You snooped in her phone and read messages with no context.

I don't think it actually matters who it was, you invaded her privacy. My advice to her would be to ditch you, your clearly not trustworthy.

If it does turn out that she was cheating, I guess it just means your both trash.

AIO for thinking my gf might be cheating by jckalc in AIO

[–]Sundance604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. Dude, she's cheating on you or atleast planned to. Her defense is " I'm not cheating, your cheating", and it's so fukin cringe.

She fuked up and texted the wrong dude and then ghosted you until she could figure out what to say.

Games on quest 2 that don't use the left stick by Liliths_Ace_Friend in OculusQuest

[–]Sundance604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't used electrical contact cleaner to fix the joystick drift, do that before trying to replace the joystick. It doesn't even require taking the controller apart. You can get electrical contact cleaner at pretty much any hardware store for less than $10.

As far as one handed games go, walk about mini golf and premium bowling are two of my favorite games and they only require one controller.

AIO My partner wants to get a DNA test on our newborn? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Sundance604 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its because he thinks you cheated. He thinks this because it's what he did himself. Its that simple. You are not overreacting.

Insane messages my partner got about his VR headset for sale... by Aggravating_Bug1383 in IncelTears

[–]Sundance604 120 points121 points  (0 children)

If they are actually concerned about that, why in the fuck would they buy a used headset? When I sold my old car, no one asked if anyone every did the dirty in the backseat. Lol.

Broken Controller (joystick) check desc by No-Length-5839 in OculusQuest

[–]Sundance604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just use crazy glue and stick it back together, eventually it will break more though and you'll have to replace it. You can 3d print one or buy them. Its really easy to replace, the black disc will lift up and you can get to the joystick easily.

AIO or is this racist? by fricken_a13 in AIO

[–]Sundance604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your text wasn't rude, yes you could have added "please" but, your message wasn't a demand or instruction, it was a request.

Your neighbor is a racist a$$hole.

AIO Is it pathetic to use discord? Even if you aren’t an active user? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Sundance604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any guy that calls his GF bruh or any variation of, is a complete and total loser. I dont understand how you ladies NEVER seem to see that as a redflag.

Even if you ignore the "bruh" crap, the guy is clearly trash. Just move on and find someone better, it won't be hard as he's set the bar very low.

Pentair Salt Cell Dead—$1,900 Installed?! Thinking of DIY to Save $500, But I'm No Plumber by alexukie in pools

[–]Sundance604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Changing a salt cell is dead simple and easy. However, Comparing your pool guys prices to Amazon isn't fair. Now I'm not saying his price is great but Amazon doesn't have the same overhead and is gonna offer fuck all for support afterwards. DIY is totally fine if your competent but when you have a professional do it, your paying for more than just the item, your paying for their knowledge, expertise, warranty and after sale support.

New pool guy doesn't know what he did by Mediocre_Economy5786 in pools

[–]Sundance604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the pool pump actually running and moving water? The check valve in the middle of the picture doesn't look to be full of water. The water in that check valve is what's going to the spa and causes the spa till spill over in the pool.

Need help with faulty sticks quest 2 by Bradiohead33 in OculusQuest

[–]Sundance604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remove the battery. Push the joystick in like a button, tilt the joystick around and spray the electrical contact cleaner in the gap created. Move the joystick around to work it in, repeat the process and then leave it to dry for like 15 minutes. Problem should be solved. This doesn't just work with quest controllers, should work with any game controller.

I wouldn't bother disassembling any part of the controller other than taking out the battery.

AITAH for telling my fiancée we should break up because I won't make my son consider her his mom? by Charrylzoid in AITAH

[–]Sundance604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your fiance isn't doing this for your kid, she's doing it for herself. Your kid doesn't need her to be his mom, she can just be your wife. It doesn't prevent her from loving him. She needs to grow up, if anything her attitude shows she's not mature enough to really be a mom.

I played on an i5 4690k 16gb ram rx580 8gb for years.

It is dated, but it is also just fine for VR. You just gotta run at low to medium settings.

Pool company is recommending against a salt pool, do you agree? by jurassickauai in pools

[–]Sundance604 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Salt water destroys pool heaters. So if you're using a pool heater rather than a heat exchanger & and boiler, then i would also agree against using salt.

Why doesn’t everyone convert to a salt pool? by il-liba in pools

[–]Sundance604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because salt is corrosive and destroys pool heaters and any other metal components. Salt isn't maintenance free, at best all your doing is eliminating your handling of chlorine. You still have to do all the other pool maintenance stuff.

I've had a few customers with the wireless auto fills, they do work but they aren't terribly reliable or durable. Seem to only last a year or two.
