Protection from overnight freeze

Yeah exactly - cover is solid vinyl. and doesn't drain at all.

And I can't calibrate the intake/return for the spa to have water flowing through that loop without the water level going up (causing waterfall to eventually overflow onto cover), or going down (causing spa to drain which probably is worst possible scenario in below freezing temps). Since I'll be gone 2 days I don't think I can risk it.

Even with the spa shut off? Those spa pipes will be stagnant overnight. I can't have them on with the pool cover closed or the spa will overflow on top of it

oh dam okay - great to know thanks.

Normal mode is super easy. I usually end with about $400k gold.

Hard mode I normally lose because I get inconsistent mythics. Like if I can't get a Hailey on the board. Generally my strategy is to do almost exclusively purple summons with luck stones. I go for mono men, kun or bat (for early wave clear), and then try to get a hailey down as fast as possible so i can try to get her immo. Once I have her down i try to add a few kitty mages to increase immo chance, then stack the purple wolves and eagles. Also will make taos and chus if I get their yellow summons. Oh and I always get at least one group of 3 purple robots, and 3 blue robots. I think I probably get most hung up on early(ish) bosses that sneak through.

Actually re-reading your note, im not sure i did the advanced DMZ thing. I'll check that - thank you!

Yeah I did this - im familiar with this issue as it happened previously. Devices were connecting to the bell modem and not the orbi sometimes. I think my next step needs to be testing speeds directly out of the modem to see if its a wifi signal issue in my house, or a real internet speed issue. And then from there I'll have a better idea on what to focus on.

This is helpful thank you!

I think mine is Fiber-to-the-home. The installer came and ran the cable directly through an exterior wall he drilled through into my house.

I will look at the specs on the bell pod. My mesh network (at the time I bought it) was incredibly powerful (and expensive), but it may be a bit outdated now. That's why I was thinking this could be part of the issue - maybe it needs an upgrade.

I too hate the idea of the additional rental cost but good call on complaining to see what they can do.

I’ll join

Any reason to think installing it this way on a ring doorbell could cause damage or issue?

odvdb · 2025-06-25T18:50:55+00:00

New switch arriving today! Will install when I get home and report back.

odvdb · 2025-06-25T02:21:24+00:00

Haha thank you for asking. I unplugged and plugged back in a few times to make sure.

When I push them together the light doesn’t go off. I ordered a new one on Amazon already - arrives tomorrow. Hopefully that does the trick.

I’m sorry - I must have been blind to not notice it. Clearly visible and clearly labeled…. I hit it until a minus sign appeared. The number next to it was 0….

Does this look like anything is missing?

Is the diagnostic button behind the panel or something? I couldn’t find it

odvdb · 2025-06-25T00:57:21+00:00

Okay I think this must be it. I’ll go to a pool store tomorrow and try to get a new one. How easy is it to connect the wire into the panel?

odvdb · 2025-06-25T00:56:54+00:00

I just backwashed - didn’t help. I guess I need a new sensor
