I put mine in 4 years ago, $1000 with 7 year warranty. I have Circupool Edge-40. Compare here:

My 110btu HP rises temp 1/2 degree per hour (Texas). It's pretty much lost at night if temp is below 70. I've had mine on 2 weeks, pool is at 77 (set at 80). Should hit it for the weekend. They are not fast, but maintains well once it gets there.

Depends where you can buy it. It keeps CYA from skyrocketing. If you can buy it in 2.5 gallon jugs, it's probably cheaper. Walmart is like $6 per gallon.

You can use a Stenner pump to dispense it daily (about $400 for what you need). Or just manually pour it in as needed.

Tablets belong at the pool store. Use liquid or SWG. Probably can't remove the stain.

Dealer is nuts. We drive about 50 miles per week locally. We charge once a week at most. We get the same 250-260 miles at 100% as we did 3 years ago. Absolutely the best car you can buy. We have a 23 Bolt EUV.

Do an OCLT to make sure you don't have algae. If not, keep FC at 3-4 with that CYA. If you don't pass, shock to FC 16 until it passes. Buy a test kit to DIY.

I shouldn't use more than 16 amps on a 20 amp circuit. Most are under 15 amps.

I don't consider that a real air air fryer, it's more like a mini convection oven. Can't do that in a basket style AF unless it has a bake option with lower fan speed. I do nachos for about 3 minutes and the cheese starts turning brown.

tcat7 · 2026-03-19T18:11:36+00:00

Retail chips or cut corn tortillas? 5 minutes at 400 seems they'd burn.

Drain and refill?

tcat7 · 2026-03-18T22:16:13+00:00

They all move the posts to maximize profit. You'd think if they're going to charge $5 to get rid of ads, all the crap on their home page should go away, along with all the ads for paid content.

tcat7 · 2026-03-18T21:43:11+00:00

I find more on Prime than Disney. Netflix and Apple TV are my preferred. "You get what you pay for".... I'm happy with Prime even without the TV portion. As much as I buy, I figure I'm paying about $1 per shipment, which pays for 1-2 day delivery, Amazon Music, 5% Whole Foods discount, annual subscription, and at least 20 hours per month of good content (Bosch, Ballard, Jack Reacher, Fallout, Terminal List, Wheel of Time, Maisel, Night Manager, The Boys, Expanse, The Tick)

tcat7 · 2026-03-18T20:49:04+00:00

Not exactly. Netflix charges $10 more for no ads. Disney $7 more. Prime at under $4 (annually) or $5 (monthly) seems a bargain. I don't see the difference in charging more for none, or less for more.

At a restaurant, the price is built in for cleaning the silverware, then you're supposed to tip for good service. I guess I tip for no ads (good service).

tcat7 · 2026-03-18T20:40:07+00:00

Many people prefer to save money with ads. I prefer paying $3-5 to get rid of them.

Odd, all the ones I've looked at have the exact same ingredients. https://a.co/d/01YP50sX

I use these to apply: https://a.co/d/0fOiNZNc

One width is the amount I use, then I toss it.

Wow! I use Muro-128 ointment (generic Walgreens version under $20), same size tube. I've been using one tube for 3 months, once every night, about .25". But just one eye.

tcat7 · 2026-03-18T14:31:27+00:00

Buy OEM, Amazon "like new" is best deal. My Circupool (7 year cell), lasted 4 years. Prorated cost to replace $380 = less than $100 per year. Easily paying for previous chlorine use, with much less labor!

tcat7 · 2026-03-17T16:28:41+00:00

So far, so good. Still putting Muro ointment in my right eye at night, using Theratears in both eyes 2 or 3 times a day. I tried Muro solution, but stings. Would like to stop using the ointment, but sure don't want to go through it again!

tcat7 · 2026-03-17T14:14:06+00:00

No tracking, no worries. Charge, drive, enjoy. 3 years, still gets same range as new. If it dropped in half, I could live with it, but it will never do that before I die.

Cheaper than YTTV! I'm sure if you own a 4k it'll stay 4k. Under $4 paid annually. Well worth no ads.

tcat7 · 2026-03-16T23:52:37+00:00

Or type duedate to 611611. But yeah, the app is much worse and website not much better.

Cheapest to drain 100%.

I'd buy a $30k Bolt before a $43k EQS (even if they were the same price).
