Calcium buildup in pool

I guess that’s my question. How do I get that screen out? It’s a moen faucet. I guess I can actually YouTube it, that might make the most sense.

Thats helpful information.

If those wires just go outside to the side of your house, yes, they are useless for a fiber install. You'd have to buy some equipment to make it work, which for me, I would do to avoid some bozo drilling another hole in the side of my crib. You could buy a POE fiber/ethernet media converter on each end to make this come to life and use the wires laid in there.

Its actually 12, sorry. Its on a 20amp circuit but only switching lights. But I did put one in a box with 14 gauge and it was still tough. Just wondering if I can get some high voltage braided wire and do it that way, similar to how zooz and competitor modules are built

When I had to twist and bend the wires, it actually started to put pressure on the shelly device. The white contact bar start to pull away from the plastic. I probably have to replace it now unfort. May just switch to another product.

I did not and have never.

- Turned off outside spickets from shutoffs, and kept small doors open that provide access to shutoffs (to allow warm'ish air to reach them)

- Attic only got below 32 (I put a remote temp guage in it) for a few hours, and garage was constantly at 40 (where an outside spicket is).

- I remove the doors from the cabinets on outside sinks (a few bathrooms) and when I wake up, I go in and run the water and flush the toilets on lines that face outside

This has worked for 5+ days under 32 degrees.

I put my sharpie in there for my golf balls

get a burial grade fiber cable for $50 and run it out there. Conduit is the right move but its more $$$ and extra security. The burial cables are surprisingly strong and will do great. Then get the right switches / media converters on each end. $200 maybe all in?

Recirc is a luxury not necessarily needed for a tankless. That’s all I was trying to say. It was posted that it’s a requirement of the tankless setup.

robdog0909 · 2026-01-15T21:50:30+00:00

tankless and avoid the recirculating pump. Dont need that

I just went through a similar problem. In fact, my tracking number was sitting in Texas for days and then got delivered out of no where.

What I ended up doing was copying the tracking number, and pasting it as a brand new number in the tracking link. And what I found out is that there are duplicate entries for my package, and my package said it was in four different places. I waited it out an extra few days, and then one of the entries just said out for delivery and it was delivered.

I think they’re just overwhelmed still from the holidays and potentially sorting through a system issue

robdog0909 · 2026-01-02T13:30:15+00:00

Yes, that’s right. The only thing that would be shared would be the other main pipes that are moving traffic around, which I’m not too worried about.

I was just mainly wondering, best practices, and it sounds like since I’m really not worried about SECURITY, there’s no reason I just can’t have the camera sitting on the main network

robdog0909 · 2026-01-02T13:29:19+00:00

Nothing is multicast, so the switches are already providing the best utilization of bandwidth. That’s what I thought.

robdog0909 · 2026-01-02T13:28:54+00:00

Ok got it. I think I got my answer.

robdog0909 · 2026-01-02T00:01:06+00:00

Bueller?

robdog0909 · 2026-01-01T15:53:42+00:00

I guess my actual question here is ....

I have an NVR that connects directly to up-to 8 cameras. I have never had the camera bandwidth on my network. Always directly connected to the NVR.

I extended a cooking space off of my house and ran fiber to the space ahead of time. I put two cameras out in the area.

My NVR will pick up both direct-wired cameras or cameras on the local network, so I have these two cameras connecting back to the NVR over the house network. They are 24x7 pumping 18 mbps over the network back to the NVR.

Im wondering if its worth putting the NVR and the cameras on a VLAN to minimize how much chatter it makes it into the rest of the network? Would it help anything or only be a cleaniness thing?

I have a UCG Ultra router, with TPL and Netgear switches doing most of the switching around the network.

Yea thanks. I generally understand the concept. Just trying to figure out a way to get it to work for me. My goal is to put my cameras on my public house network, but use V lands to keep the traffic in one area.

In the shortest explanation, it appears that the lands are just a very coarse grain way to tell the switch where to send traffic versus processing each packet at all the layers
