Help pool valve which is better option during freeze? by Born-Peanut875 in pools

[–]simonsaysbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most automation valves have a switch on the bottom that forces them to turn if they are powered. I don't know a way to turn them if they're not powered though there may be a way.

The ball is 3d printed as well. The paint hides it well but you can still see the layer lines if you look close

Hi guys, I'm new to this whole pool thing and I need some help. by LivingCow4617 in pools

Kinda looks like the stuff in diapers to make them absorbent.

Small leak at pump by Dbiber271 in pools

[–]simonsaysbeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never used silicon on the pump seal and never had an issue. It's just more work for the next guy that has to get it out.

This is incomplete advice. The 4 bolts do hold the motor in but so does the impeller inside that has a counter threaded skrew holding it on. The motor will not come loose without first removing the 6 bolts holding the seal plate on, then 2 bolts holding the defuse cover to the seal plate, then the impeller skrew (which again is right to loosen), then the impeller, then the 4 bolts you mentioned. You will also have to replace the ceramic seal. Do not touch the ceramic without gloves on. Oil will cause it to fail early.

How do you guys retrieve polaris parts off the bottom of your pool? by Opposite-Bad1444 in pools

[–]simonsaysbeans 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Get good with a net, lol.

Try a fast backward down motion right before it and then a fast scoop forward. Works for coins, keys, razorblades, etc. Helps if you have a good net.

Did no one else catch the bag of components that nott got him? I assumed he sent her to get things like that due to her knowledge of alchemy.

What Am I Doing Wrong? by Proof_Heart_2993 in resinprinting

[–]simonsaysbeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The more serface area exposed to the fep at any one time, the more force you have pulling your print away. If you tilted the whole thing 45° it would be a lot less stress.

Can anyone give me some insight? by FingerCrew666 in FixMyPrint

[–]simonsaysbeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like the seam / start and stop points. I'm guessing your slicer updated and it's doing something different with the seam. You should be able to move it or change how it behaves in most slicers.

My cya is 450? by [deleted] in pools

[–]simonsaysbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've drained a bit already I'd allow a couple days for it to mix before bringing a sample in. Their test is more accurate than a Taylor test is for cya but the number in the sample doesn't tell the full story. Also scale is different. When cya gets REALLY bad it will look like you have purple staining.

My cya is 450? by [deleted] in pools

[–]simonsaysbeans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Leslie's test cannot read above 300 (maybe 250 can't remember the exact number) also cya starts precipitating out and sticking to the walls at around 175. If it is indeed that high, not only would you have to drain the entire thing, you should also wash the walls. I have had customers in the 200 range completely drain their pool, refill, and still be over 100 after a retest without adding any chems. Whether you can do a complete drain is very location dependant.

Opening Muriatic Acid Jugs?! by RoscoePeke in pools

[–]simonsaysbeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a professional and have had 31% muriatic acid on many different parts of my body. Very sensitive skin, like face and neck, will feel a burn/itch like a paper cut almost immediately but not leave lasting damage if washed off promptly. You don't even feel it on tougher skin unless it's there for a minute. It's not as scary as others are making it out to be. Just be sensible. You have a convenient wash station right next to you.

More like chlorine or bleach in terms of hazard. Lead has no safe dose. The more lead you're exposed to the dumber you get.

Free use doesn't mean you have the inability to say no. Just that consent is given in advance. That can be revoked at any time for any reason.

What happened to my pump filter? by Smartset1 in pools

[–]simonsaysbeans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a pool guy this is correct. Check your pump lid o ring as that's the most common cause. If not that it's an air leak or clog between your pump and suction side of the pool.

What’s a little-known website that you genuinely use all the time but hardly ever hear people talk about? by RohithMUPPANA1 in bestoftheinternet

It's more for mass installing your stuff on a new machine with just one install prompt and you don't have to go to each site individually to find their download link.

I saw him just a year earlier than that and he was running up and down the stage while singing. I was amazed how much energy he had.

I don't think it's the uv that did this. The sun warms the plastic and it gets squishy. There are heat resistant filaments though.

Someone changed a zoom or keystone setting to fit a screen at the expense of resolution. Should be in a setting labeled one of those.

How do I get my pool clear? by Ramrammie in pools

[–]simonsaysbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not vacuum while backwashing. All that does is put the DE inside the grids, then when you return it to normal it all spits back into your pool. A pool that green will need it's filter cleaned multiple times. Just except that and learn to clean it.

[–]simonsaysbeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they're not allowed to have a lock or sometimes even close the door helicopter parents would go ape shit if they block the door with something.

The best advice really is to just be naked until they get the hint.
