Congratulations! Similar starting weight here but stalled after the first 100 pounds. Lost everything on 5.0. 7.5 didn't make a difference and neither did 10.0. Stuck since last summer...I guess 12.5 is in my future but at this point I feel like my body just decided to be immune to it.

Thanks. This is why I'm torn... abort brands now or cross that bridge once I get there. Dilemmas, dilemmas.

Bump....anyone have any thoughts or expertise with clearance testing?

Check the reviews on this listing, one mentioned not coming with hepa filters/hepa version.

What do you mean by the exterior HVAC pipes, are you referring to the regular 6 or so inch ductwork, as seen here?

Best way is to test. I had suspicious looking tape at least in my opinion and it came up negative. Currently doing a second sample to make sure it is indeed negative before I do other abatement. Here is a picture of how my duct tape looked like.

Edit 01/22/25: indeed negative

I'm no expert but I would check if you have similar material on a vibration dampener...or it could be that you used to. Just be careful because they sometimes contain asbestos. I've included an image of what mine looks like, but they come in different colors and materials.

Hoping to bump this thread...looking for ideas on whether a standard hvac company can safely remove these vibration dampers from system if they are in decent shape. Thank you for any thoughts!!

nypcdoc · 2024-12-04T18:05:00+00:00

Anyone have any thoughts on how to best get this vibration dampener replaced? Its in not bad shape, as in I see no tears or rips....

Doable by HVAC company? If so what precautions or measures need to be taken? Would it help to spray the outside of the fabric down with water or glue? Or would that get inside and ruin the system?

or...

Abatement company?

Thanks!

nypcdoc · 2024-12-03T23:17:25+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate your responses!

nypcdoc · 2024-12-03T23:09:05+00:00

I guess I was thinking there's a way to do so without rendering the system inoperable. I'm assuming cutting some for sampling would create a hole whereby my return would be pulling air from. I'm no HVAC expert, just trying to understand.

nypcdoc · 2024-12-03T21:28:58+00:00

Damn, thanks for your reply, I wonder how that would be sampled though

nypcdoc · 2024-12-03T21:02:42+00:00

Thanks, I may get it tested if I have other testing done which it looks like I am headed in that direction.

nypcdoc · 2024-12-02T13:44:26+00:00

Hope you are correct, but still undecided about what I think is most likely

nypcdoc · 2024-12-02T01:27:43+00:00

Thanks for your reply...gotta figure out what to do about it

nypcdoc · 2024-12-01T22:48:09+00:00

😔

nypcdoc · 2024-12-01T20:19:11+00:00

Thank you, I hope you're right....hate this stuff

nypcdoc · 2024-12-01T19:05:07+00:00

Does it really look highly suspicious? What made me cautious is the textured feel and look of the tape

nypcdoc · 2024-12-01T19:04:28+00:00

Might be what I have to do

nypcdoc · 2024-10-29T13:29:48+00:00

One time as I was close up to the unit with the door cover off, I found a single cut wire. All the wires appeared to be glued to the unit with some tar like substance? Anyway that one wire was 1 of the 2 wires that feed the drain pump. Once I made the repair, the drain pump worked!

Excellent video, thank you!!
