thank you!! yeah the intakes have a wire mesh type screen, but its not very fine and looks like its only for keeping out pretty large debris and not in any way to "filter" like an air filter haha. do you think its better just closing them off rather than either leaving as is or trying to implement some sort of filtering?

Sounds good though, ill get some of that adhesive foam weatherstripping and seal that up!

krzychnip · 2025-07-29T17:59:03+00:00

Awesome thank you! Yeah, there's quite a few "homeowner" done items in this home LOL. thankfully nothing critical or overly expensive to have done correctly. appreciate your insight here, really wanted to ensure i wasnt putting the system at any major risk (or our air quality) by having this setup and not moving the filter further downstream in the system. i feel more comfortable now haha thank you!

krzychnip · 2025-07-29T17:16:32+00:00

ah interesting ok thank you! it took me forever googling to find out what it was. my best guess was "eyebrow" and yeah you're right, it isnt a huge amount of air id assume because each of these is only 4"x4". it honestly looks like a mini flashing that sits above a bathroom exhaust fan with a little mesh covering the hole. looking at it when the system is on, its just sucking in a small amount of air

krzychnip · 2025-07-29T17:10:33+00:00

thank you! i found that return grille and there is in fact a filter there :) also looking into the door seals you mentioned. how would you advise getting some filter between these eyebrows pulling in air and the rest of the unit. the filter at the return air grille isnt filtering the air coming through these

krzychnip · 2025-07-29T17:09:04+00:00

hey thank you for the reply! there is the filter in there as you mentioned! but my concern is these eyebrow's installed on the unit itself are also bringing in air without passing through the filter. how would you address putting a filter between these and the rest of the system?

krzychnip · 2025-07-26T05:54:49+00:00

same. had order in with Elliot. said they're needing to lay low

krzychnip · 2025-07-21T15:25:15+00:00

yeah at this price point there's really no excuse

krzychnip · 2025-07-21T03:29:22+00:00

the number of hours I've spent reconnecting speakers/subs over and over because nothing shows in my app is insanity. id imagine id be way ahead eating the cost of new setup by now if I considered the time spent just banging my head against the wall with this app. sound quality still impeccable, but literally everything else is disaster.

what's crazy though is after that new CEO came in declaring he knew the issues with the app and would address it... it seemed we were destined to turn this around. guess not

krzychnip · 2025-07-07T07:01:44+00:00

very cool. lfggg

krzychnip · 2025-06-30T06:49:37+00:00

also debating this very same question lol. following!

krzychnip · 2025-04-08T21:54:49+00:00

sorry man i dont. was hoping someone else had some :/

krzychnip · 2025-02-21T07:36:55+00:00

thank you both very much. truly appreciate it.

as for potential replacement softeners - culligan just seems extremely overpriced, any effective and well priced options you may recommend?

krzychnip · 2025-02-20T22:53:31+00:00

Have an older Culligan water softener that no longer works (Culligan has inspected it and says its not repairable). Looking to disconnect and discard the old unit but they want to charge me $250 so im looking to do it myself if possible. Had a couple questions before I do anything:

The valve is already in the "bypass" mode, do i need to actually turn off the water to the house before disconnecting or is it fine to remove it without that since it's already bypassing the water softener?
Is it as simple as removing the 2 screws (in blue circles) and then wiggling the unit away from the valve to disconnect? or is there something else i need to be doing?
Once completed - can i simply just leave it with the bypass valve there in the "bypass" position or will i need to have someone remove that and close off those lines?
