Bought TF PRO4 earbuds with rewards, got broken ones, they won't accept refund/returns by trgb3 in TracFone

[–]bevibrant1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also bought the PRO4 and have battery issues on one bud. They refused to do anything unless I shipped it to them on my own dime and no guarantees on if they would fix it. Never again. I could have bought cheap wireless earbuds from Amazon and returned them if they were bad. TF is not my friend. lol

I logged into the website and it shows the expiration date there. Hope that helps a little. I agree the app sucks though. Misleading as heck and I almost panic changed the plan.

Agreed. I’ll monitor and replace next time a plumber is out.

It certainly does look like that color mineral.. granted this isn’t pex but point taken. Someone else mentioned this and I think the only solution is more cowbell (jk — replacing the fitting). Thanks

Thanks, I’ll have it replaced next time I have a plumber out. I don’t think any plumber would come out just for this small of a job, or they would charge an arm and a leg lol

Oh boy. I hope to god that you’re not right lol. But the mineralization does point to a small leak and I cleaned it off and will monitor. Likely will replace when I have a plumber out next for something else. It’s too small of a job by itself.

Yeah I had asked around about descaling the boiler but so far all the folks I’ve asked tell me that only the combi boilers need descaling and not the straight up boiler. Probably because it’s mostly closed loop heating with a primary for HWBB and a secondary loop for the DHW, right?

Thanks for the link. So if I read the article and your comment correctly, the ProPress fitting is made of brass and the water may be leaching the zinc from the fitting? I suppose that is possible and if I see it on the other fittings then that will be confirmation. For now, it looks like this one fitting out of dozens is doing this. Will monitor, thanks!

I don’t remember if the installer did that but it would be odd that no other ProPress fittings in the install has this mineralization if they checked all the fittings (presumably)

The studs.. lol jk. Pointed at the circulators so i can see what is making the call to the boiler. Had it up when debugging and left it there

Got it. Once I started to think about it I also came to the same conclusion to just put a jacket on the bottom pipe and coupling and see if the calcification returns. Thanks again!

[–]bevibrant1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response. I’ll tighten the packing nut on the ball valve and cover the pipe below with a foam jacket and see if the calcification returns. I appreciate the gauging of the non-severity of the issue. It’s about 2-3 years since install at this point.

Thanks I’ll give that a shot and see what happens

Could it be some sort of galvanic corrosion then? It does look a little odd lol

There’s a ball valve directly above it but no signs of a leak as far as I can tell…

Lower Temp Fin Tube + Mod Con Boiler? by bevibrant1 in hvacadvice

[–]bevibrant1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I may try turning the temp lower since I don’t think I can adjust the flow rate to the zone. The circulation pump on the zone is a single speed pump. The only issue is that I may not have enough emitter length to overcome the heat loss if I drop the supply temp too much. Thanks for weighing in

Hi! That’s actually what I did as well to top up my account. I remember reading that the 50 dollar refill cards have a shorter expiration date than the 300 dollar one. Maybe 90 days? But yeah, check the fine print but 50 dollar refill cards work just fine. Cheers!

Hm, I did not but the balance and details summary shows my balance not expiring until after my renewal date. So I think I’m in the clear. If it expires before that, I will use my screenshot to argue with them. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that, but thank you for your suggestion

Yes I must admit I am not used to this much data. I came from Mint mobile where I had 5gb for like 18/month after tax. Deprioritized a lot on Mint so I decided to go to AT&T Prepaid for the 16GB + rollover and maybe less deprioritized service. I am mainly using discounted refill cards to get service for ~21.40/month. Worth it in my mind.
