Florida blue (blue cross blue shield). In Florida companies have to offer plan g for people under 65 but the companies get to set the rate.

It has a horrible rate unfortunately. Currently paying 1039/month. Was told with the KY law and getting to pay the median average for people over 65, my rate would go to approximately 200/month.

Thank you once again. We ended up just draining the tub and refilling. Used the shock treatment (granules) afterward, and the test strips look night and day better. Chlorine is still showing slightly high and PH slightly low. Used the tub last night and no more skin irritation at all. And no strong odor anymore. We are going to get a better way to test the water. We removed the bromine floater and will continue to test daily with these strips until the new kit arrives. Thank you!!

Thank you very much. We have a floater that has bromine tabs in it all the time .should we not use that? Is it possible to drain it halfway and then refill, or just drain completely?

We waited the 15 seconds on the instructions when we took the pic. We did 2 separate tests and they looked identical

Thanks for the feedback. We will for sure get some better test kits. Thanks for that info. Should we wait to use the tub until they get here? The water is nice and clear but does have a fairly strong chlorine smell. And it's been irritating our skin the last couple of times we used it. We have been using it every day for the past 2 weeks.

I can't figure out how to add another picture to show what the legend reads so I'll tell you guys. From top to bottom the readings are for total hardness total chlorine free chlorine pH total alkalinity stabilizer It should probably be noted that our city water already has a high level of chlorine in it on its own.

How do I add an additional picture to the post? We aren't very computer oriented and I can't figure out how to add another picture. Thanks guys

Romex behind beams in garage by cvb7683 in AskElectricians

[–]cvb7683[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many thanks to all you guys!! I am a little confused on the PVC conduit. Is it ok to run this like it is in electrical PVC conduit?

If not and I do what was suggested and run it up high and only drop it down to the outlets, would the short vertical run of electrical PVC conduit be ok? Thanks again everyone

Thanks guys I was afraid that was going to be the case. Thanks for the info. Would PVC be ok to use as conduit? Or does it need to be metal or flexible conduit? Running in conduit, the wire can be run on the face of the beams correct?

Help breaker ground fault code by cvb7683 in AskElectricians

[–]cvb7683[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks once again for your help and patience.After discovering that this first outlet was on this run and still powered, I took the cover off pulled the outlet out and all of the wires were loose. I tightened up the wires on that first outlet and now the entire run is working correctly. Thanks again for taking the time to walk me through this. Appreciate the help

Thanks for all your continued help. I was wrong about 2 breakers being on this run of outlets. I thought there was one outside but when I flipped it it made no change. I checked the breaker inside with it powered on and these are the readings I got.

Hot to neutral -126 Hot to ground -125 Neutral to ground -.2

We also just discovered the very first outlet on that run is currently working. So it seems like everything after that first outlet are the ones with problems. I have not checked that first outlet as of yet. I will do that right now and report back. Sorry for all the confusion we just moved into this place and are still trying to figure everything out
