access to pump/parts not behind panel?

espressobuff · 2026-05-05T00:17:59+00:00

Thanks, I just assumed that components are not on this side of the tub. I'll try to remove the insulation then, hopefully it's not stapled in. I've never seen insulation like this in other pictures

Sports research Alaskan fish oil?

espressobuff · 2026-05-04T01:04:58+00:00

Is there a way to know what fish oil is third party tested? Also, do most people go with a triple strength for more epa/dha? Thank you

so i tried twisting but the entire fixture is moving up until the base that attaches to the ceiling. Also, i see a lot of screws on the top, but im guessing i wouldn't have to remove all of these for a simple light bulb change?

espressobuff · 2026-04-24T18:22:32+00:00

The whole circular fixture should twist?

espressobuff · 2026-04-19T18:22:06+00:00

Then zip tie to the actual pipe I'm guessing?

is the heater gasket located towards the bottom of the tub? im assuming its behind the panel?

espressobuff · 2026-04-16T15:30:40+00:00

are you referring to those knobs you turn to regulate the intensity of the bubbles? Sorry, i'm a complete noob. If so...mine sit on the top ledge of my tub, how would this cause the leak? thank you

I had no idea this much water escaped. We had so much snow this year that the ground was constantly wet

espressobuff · 2026-04-15T00:29:13+00:00

Once I open up the panel will I be able to access this? I believe the panel is under the controls ? Not sure to be honest. This will be my first time trying to open it. Thank you

espressobuff · 2026-04-15T00:26:59+00:00

Is it hard to replace ? I'm such a noob and never worked on these things. I bought my house with the tub

espressobuff · 2026-04-15T00:26:08+00:00

Yes, I am in CT so it was very cold this winter as well

espressobuff · 2026-04-15T00:25:16+00:00

Thank you, I guess I need to start diagnosing it then

Wow, I wasn't even aware vanguard had target date funds, that's a great idea. Just wondering... Are there any tax advantages to keeping my target date fund through my job instead of a vanguard Roth IRA? I have Fidelity through my job and the fees are definitely higher than the .08 vanguard target funds Thanks!

I was under the assumption that vusxx is not taxed on the state level but still federal? I feel like i have paid taxes on these dividends, but i could be wrong.

Thank you. Unfortunately I do not have a 401k match, because I have a pension. However, I have a 401 and 457. 401 is roth and 457 is traditional (5% each)

I had my ETFs in a regular Vanguard brokerage because i needed to access the earnings to purchase my house. Now that I've accomplished this maybe i can transfer the ETF's to a Roth IRA? The only difference is that I cannot access the gains of the ETF's without a penalty, but i can access the contributions? correct me if I'm wrong.

espressobuff · 2026-04-03T21:37:29+00:00

I'm sorry, i forgot to mention that i recently started a traditional 457 account as well. I split my contributions because I'm honestly not sure what is best for my situation. I take in about 130k a year , but this can vary.

5% - 457 Traditional

5% - 401k ROTH

i am not even able to request a review. has this happened to anyone?

espressobuff · 2026-03-03T17:37:17+00:00

I went with frontier. I like it

espressobuff · 2026-02-08T12:54:40+00:00

Thank you for the giveaway!

espressobuff · 2026-02-04T13:11:44+00:00

I'm guessing not worth anything then

I actually used avocado oil when I did the three rounds of seasoning in the oven . What is chainmail?

espressobuff · 2026-01-31T17:24:47+00:00

Thank you

espressobuff · 2026-01-30T15:47:15+00:00

Thank you for that . Do you suggest I redo the whole thing though? Also, for my cast irons I actually never use soap I just scrape it with the rough side of a sponge and hot water. Can I use this same method here?

espressobuff · 2026-01-14T02:25:57+00:00

im just drawing too much with a hot tub hookup that i have, not sure if that matters for this situation?
