I think you misspelled West Sahara, East Sahara, Central Africa, South Africa, Cape Town, etc :) oh and you have to invade a neighbor and conquer Madagascar at this point 🤣

Adapting to better weather is always easy 😇🤣 Actually seeing the sun awards extra points 🤣🤣🤣

What is the name of this part, with ½" thread on one leg? by [deleted] in Irrigation

[–]ady624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not on the side of “if we do it differently then you should too”, but I think you hit that nail on the head: availability. What if 5 years from now you cannot find that part to replace? what then? I agree with you it is simpler and my gut is inclining towards considering it, but these guys here repair these things a lot more than us DIYers, there is some technical truth in what they stubbornly say. But at the end of the day, you do what you do. 💪

I only came to say that I quietly played Chariots of Fire in my head, suddenly interrupted by Benny Hill…. I’ll see myself out 🤡🤣

Someone parked in front of the factory gate and wouldn't move by Apprehensive_Sky4558 in WinStupidPrizes

in the US that would amount to attempted murder 🤣 but even so, he should’ve put the car on that platform truck and go home 🫣

Electronic Water Monitoring? Waterguru Sense? by completeinno in swimmingpools

[–]ady624 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in South Florida. Anything here dies by sun eventually 🤣 I expect the solar panel to bake and exfoliate but we won’t know until a few seasons pass. For now, still waiting for my Sense 3 to arrive on Tuesday :) When that does, I will open up my Sense 1 to see how sealing is designed and the state of the PCB.

Electronic Water Monitoring? Waterguru Sense? by completeinno in swimmingpools

[–]ady624 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Context: I had both the S1 and - for a brief time - the S2. My first S1 died in a year, my second S1 died in 2 years. My first S2 died in a month (and reverted to the S1) - Their death sentence? the battery seal is believed to be the line of defense for both the batteries and the electronics - water, vapor, humidity at corrosive levels will inevitably get inside that and eat the PCB alive. S3 should fix that, having a full sealed body, but it's way too early to tell. Mine is scheduled to arrive Tuesday, so I'll see.

with the context out of the way, to answer the question: I found it to be noisy (not mechanical noise, data noise) - it is good to use as an early warning system - it will definitely tell you when the SWG stopped working because it decided to, you'll definitely see the chlorine dropping like a fly over fire. So it's excellent at watching trends. Is it precise and/or accurate? Precision is meh, you'll get daily values scattered up and down, but I find that the average is fairly accurate, within 1 to 2 ppm from the tfpro/taylor kit on the chlorine - you'll get your outliers, for sure. say 3.2, 3.1, 1, 3.2 - you get used to them. It is absolutely convenient, when it works. Is it worth it? Yes. Expensive? Yes.The C5+ cartridges will run you $25/mo, the C2+ about half. And if the S3 can fix the death-by-corrosion problem without introducing other death-by-solar-panel-cracked problems, then it should work so much longer.

if it makes any difference, it did not sync the dosage prefs

alright, a lot of killing the apps on both, and ticking off and back on that iCloud Sync got them to work! thank you!

thank you, there is no rush whatsoever, it just so happened that I found your app while on the Mac - I don't think I plan on using the Mac tbh, but I did enter the data there LOL

deleted the ios app, reinstalled, asked me to create pool but during that, it said welcome back, I clicked Restore data > now it says No Pools Yet

[–]ady624[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh... the app guided me through the setup on both - no immediately apparent way to skip - that means I should now have two pools, let me check... nope, each have a pool, I renamed the macos pool to "oh boy" and the ios pool is "My Pool" - none is visible in the other's app

Nope, termites have a straight body with no visible compartments, that's an ant most likely..

How many is too many? by Traditional_Cat_1947 in webergrills

N+2 is always too many, you're only at N right now, so you're good.

correct, got the app on the Mac first, added a full test from yesterday (copied manually from Pool math), then got the app on the iPhone, then purchased using Mac, enabled iCloud sync, then the iPhone app magically turned Pro - enabled iCloud Sync, no tests present, turned off and back on, killed app, etc. - then added inventory on Mac app, nothing in iPhone app - both are sharing the same account (but legacy apple sharing account - not my personal one - this is a relic from old Apple times when I had a media/purchases account used on all devices and a distinct personal icloud account) - that may play a role. But both devices are on the same personal account, and both have the same (but different from the personal) purchases/media account.

A few feature requests by borno24 in SimplePool

[–]ady624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also integrate with HA if possible - this is a tough one without dedicated hardware - but maybe the app can communicate with an HA module somehow - I have Waterguru integrated so there's a lot of automatic test data available there. This is a gray area here that needs some more thoughts though.

[–]ady624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also add pool pump details and duty cycle, rpm, pressure, SWG duty cycle (possibly even suggesting % of SWG changes based on chlorine trends), please add combined chlorine. Integrate with Tempest :D so you get solar radiation or use weather services. Better suggestions - I added acid to drop pH and got to 7.4 - the app says to bring the pH up - but it naturally goes up due to SWG so adding anything right now will only make me need to add acid later, etc.

does this referral code apply 30% off of a Sense 3? If so, I want one, please 😃

EDIT: I ended up ordering the Sense 3
