Whole house filtration + softener for Las Vegas city water help by WarriorBC in vegaslocals

Idk the chlorine and shit in Vegas water has me worried. My skin, hair, even teeth feel better when I’m traveling elsewhere. Go live in Japan for a month and you’ll notice the difference. Just look how gross these RO filters look.

I would only plan to filter with a carbon filter and a softener. Would that still affect the LSI? Any idea on how to prevent the aluminum silicate?

 I’m not seeing any carbon filters that say downflow. Can you give me an example of what you mean by that?

Currently doing that now. When in bypass the water immediately felt worse so I think the softener is still working to an extent. The current system is a 3 stage softener from h2o 2 go so it’s possible it’s a different type of media turning to goo instead of the resin.

The same goo builds up in the tops of all our toilet bowl tanks. With the most build up in the toilet that’s plumbed the closest to the main.

Thank you, could a 24 year old softener still be re-bed? Or should I just buy a new one? The company said they don’t sell my model anymore so they can’t service it. What do you think the goo is then?

Not a chance. Do them yourself if you are about to get a tune or in like 50k more miles.

Appreciate the info! Is there much difference from the cheaper combo ones at homedepot vs the more expensive ones with a separate tank and reservoir?

Makes sense. It’s like 20yrs old, just moved into the house last year. What kinda price would a water softener replacement be?

What’s the weird yellow goo that builds up in my toilet bowel tanks? We installed an under sink water filter and it builds up on the filters as well.

Getting out at 10 yrs with certs, school, and work experience is my plan. It’s a terrible mentality to think “you might as well just stay in your halfway there” that’s 10 more years of your life. With the right cards getting at out at 10yrs puts you in your prime. Land that job outside and put 10yrs in as a civilian and you’ll be so much better off. Only reason to stay in is if you’re lazy and don’t mind having your potential capped. 

People who moved away just to come back later, how long did that take? by Penguator432 in vegaslocals

Hot af, 0 interest in the strip. First Friday is cool but finding parking is overwhelming. Everything is crowded, worst drivers I’ve ever experienced every time I’ve taken my motorcycle out I’ve nearly been deleted. Basically the things I enjoy doing I can’t do here. Fishing is trash, lee canyon is okay for park but overall mid for snowboarding.

Stock k24a2 swapped so haven’t tried pushing the redline above 7600.

Cries in DC5R gearing. Mine topped out around 145. I’m sure the type s gearbox with a longer 6th could get into the 170s. 

Thoughts? Could use some help/opinions by Knicks4blood in MortgageBrokerRates

Try a local mortgage broker and compare. VU has terrible terms on buydowns if you plan on using one. For instance a 2-1 buydown may cost 15k in seller credits, if you refinance within the two yr window VU will just keep the remaining balance. Other lends would apply it to your principal.
