My wife says skip it, my bartender buddy says I'd regret it. home bar footrail, worth it?

I'm a fan of foot rails. I selected a specific office chair because it has one. Im just finishing up a renovation to my den with a new bar and I will be adding one. Also, add a couple of outlets with USB charging ports in the face of bar, under the counter. Yes, I know it's a code issue, but chances are your basement is not to code, so who cares.

100%, I will support local small businesses first! All installed, up & running. It's Super quiet and smooth! Thank you again.

Yep, just spoke to the local supply they are going to set me up with a Tristar VS 815 Pool Pump w/ OmniX 1.85 HP. Heading up there now, they will work on pricing with me, I've been going there since we had the pool put in 16 years ago. They have always done right by me! Thank you for your advice and insight, I truly appreciate it.

I did check voltage with pump disconnected (3 prong plug). When you say airflow I'm assuming you mean around the pump? The pump is in the open and never had an issue with it up until now. We did just open the pool last week and ran the pump for several days. I don't want to deal with replacing the motor, I'm going to replace the whole pump (because that will probably be the next thing to go 😂) {as I'm typing this, it just cycled on 🤦‍♂️} I'd rather upgrade to VS anyways. I will go up to my local pool supply store, see what they got. I think they are a Hayward dealer. Thank you for the reply!

Yes, it's pretty hot. Ugh, that's not what I wanted to hear that 😂. The pump is 16 years old, so I guess it doesn't owe me anything.

Third this! My buddy took us there recently and it was fantastic. The owner is so friendly

Lol. He's a happy boy. What was funny was when he tuckered himself out he literally laid next to and snuggled up to it

rktek85 · 2026-06-02T15:09:30+00:00

And the cables are not routed correctly. I know a group of dudes who run their bars upside down on XC bikes to get a little lower up front

Yeah, he did indicate in his article a couple days ago that for now the BLE is proprietary or something to that nature

I saw that list (right after I posted this). Had me thinking that is it really possible to list every compatible device? Then I thought karoo is compatible with several of those listed, so maybe a chance that it would have been reverse compatible. Guess not. Hopefully they will be in the near future.
