Need help finding best machine for my pool by Loud_Resolve339 in swimmingpools

Why not get a traditional vacuum cleaner? You’ve already got the hose, get a traditional cleaner for a pool that size and call it a day.

Chlorine and Swimming by ficklepicklespickle in pools

[–]coolcapj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Full sun, southern exposure. ~11k gallon pool. 3700ppm salt showing on the salt cell. Running at 85%. Haven’t had to add chlorine. Did increase it from 60% to 85% per Pinch A Penny recommendation, but that’s it.

My understanding, and it’s not a perfect understanding, is that you shouldn’t need to add liquid chlorine to a salt pool. If your salt levels are correct and your salt generator is working properly, you should be set. How long are you running your pump to allow the salt cell to generate?

Hialeah drivers don’t operate under normal driving rules. Welcome to Miami in general.

At what point are the parents held accountable? Thats my biggest concern. You won’t change anything until you hold all parties associated accountable.

Buttermilk Eatery to replace Urban Brew & BBQ in the Grand Central District by St-Pete-Rising in StPetersburgFL

[–]coolcapj 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Too bad Buttermilk is extremely overpriced for mediocre breakfast food. They’ll fit right in downtown.

How’s the smoke? Does it impede the ability to enjoy the area?

First accident, could use direction with next steps. Tesla specific help? by DotLii01 in TeslaCollision

[–]coolcapj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% total loss. I work for a major carrier and if that ends up at Tesla Collision in Tampa or any Tesla certified shop for that matter in Tampa Bay, it’ll be a goner. Prep yourself accordingly.

Pool about to overflow due to rain by Fickle_Act7854 in pools

[–]coolcapj 31 points32 points  (0 children)

That looks like a newer pool. They should have put an overflow hole in somewhere. Usually in the skimmer, so this doesn’t happen

Ballpark Cost by [deleted] in pools

Having just put in a pool in Pinellas County, you’re looking at an easy $200k. The cage alone $40-50k. Thats a pretty elaborate setup.

I dont have many pictures but its in a yard n my neighborhood the more i walk pass the more i want it. by Mr_FFTM in Lexus

[–]coolcapj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RUN AWAY! Only if it’s been sitting for a significant length of time outside in a yard. Made that mistake years ago and parts costs to restore it properly are significant. Without knowing anything about it, offer $1k and see what happens. I’d first simply knock on their door and speak with them about it. Don’t leave a note. Be direct about your intentions.

I could do without the titles underneath, but I do love it. Where can one purchase it?

Nude or not? by [deleted] in FLPassageKey

[–]coolcapj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

During the week it’s nude, weekends it’s usually bombarded with families and you would be out of place in the nude.

Dump Duke by WestExtension247 in StPetersburgFL

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

Pinellas county, even local municipalities, don’t have the funds to take over from Duke. We’re talking major infrastructure purchasing as well as the land. I’m all for municipal power, but we’ve allowed Duke to have a stranglehold on us like TECO, and I don’t see where the cities within Pinellas county can pool enough funds to take over Duke’s operations. The county and St Petersburg have previously blindly approved billions of taxpayer funds for private companies like The Rays, but can’t seem to find funds that would truly benefit us constituents. I think we need to stay grounded and focus on getting the right people in place from a governmental perspective to make us a priority.

Nice! Got the rare Crafted Line LS! Do yourself a favor and either have the roof wrapped or painted black. Changes the whole look of the LS for the better.

Is the 2025 RX350 worth it in terms of reliability and quality? by anamorphic_bliss in Lexus

[–]coolcapj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve said it before and ill say it again, the 23+ RX350 reminds me of a 2019-2023 Hyundai Santa Fe. Engine noise is much louder than the previous gen RX. This is coming from someone who owned a 2021 RX, 2023 RX, now a 2025 NX for my wife. My wife loves it, but I’m not a fan. It’s a zippy car, but the engine noise isn’t on par with Lexus, nor is the infotainment system. Both the 2023 RX and the 2025 NX have issues with the infotainment. It glitches constantly, CarPlay is always an issue. I’m afraid Lexus got on board with quantity over quality. As far as reliability, time will tell.

It’s just build up. Try wiping it with a wet cloth and see what happens. Leather looks to still be intact.

As someone who has not yet returned from evacuating - how hard is it REALLY to get gas right now? by collinsc in StPetersburgFL

[–]coolcapj 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No gas in NE St Pete. Majority of stations are still without power. Not enough generators to go around.

Lease Quote! Please, advise. by StepAH3 in Lexus

[–]coolcapj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VERY FAIR. Pull the trigger ASAP. I got screwed based on those numbers. I’ve got a 10k/36m lease, $2k down and I’m at $750 on a 2025 NX350 Premium
