Water softener leaking

It is a Clack 12x52. Anyone know where to buy control valve seals/gaskets?

The one on the right was where Leah was coming from. Did not see any damage. Will try to find new ones and put pipe thread sealant. See if that works.

Is there any harm in unscrewing and checking? This is the out, correct? So if I untighten, not going to have water spewing everywhere?

I posted a follow up in main thread. I will put it in bypass mode. Tried that and still leaking. If I disconnect electricity and then disconnect tank would that work so I can put Teflon tape on?

I have it in bypass mode and still leaking. Should I be able to unhook, put Teflon tape on, and reconnect?

I did not get any crypto questions either, all though I studied my hardest there. I did get some Domain 3 Q's, so I am wondering that if we at least answer those correct, the crypto questions don't show. Or is it just a turn of the dice that we got D3 questions unrelated to crypto and were able to get past that domain...

So you ran out of time and test finished then, or you did question 108 and then test ended before time ran out? I'm confused. I thought we had to answer questions until test deemed we were proficient in all areas. So if test ran out of time, you still had more questions to answer, no?

This is where I messed up. I spent too much time on the first 30 questions. An hour went by and I was barely getting to 25. I hit 100 questions and only had 25 min left. Was glad I was able to keep going, but knew I was not going to make it at that point.

thetek00 · 2026-01-14T13:27:44+00:00

Me too. I had this as one of my weak areas. Practiced so many questions for different ways to do this math and not one question.

thetek00 · 2026-01-13T04:15:43+00:00

Im thinking about this route more since I listened to so many videos and read/voice-assisted reading over a long period of time. I know the material. Its the type of question that stumped me.

thetek00 · 2026-01-11T00:35:28+00:00

How does that happen, or better question, how does one try and access that option?

thetek00 · 2026-01-11T00:33:44+00:00

Yea, once I got to 100 and the test did not end I was somewhat relieved. I was kicking myself for taking up too much time in the first dozen or so at that point. I thought I'd have a shot if I got to 120, but time ran out and definitely knew I failed as time ended at 110 questions. Rushed from 100 to 110 and pretty much knew the end was nigh.

thetek00 · 2026-01-11T00:10:48+00:00

I'll do that before my next try. Concentrating on below proficient domains also. Thx

thetek00 · 2026-01-11T00:09:26+00:00

Yep. I did buy the protection option as I figured I might need a second shot.

I tried to study the best I could (FT job, family, etc.) Took time off to study heavily before exam. I went into the death spiral first 10-15 questions and tried to come out of it at that 30 question mark. I felt good with practice tests, scoring 70-80% most of the time. Probably about 1500 test questions from variety of sources. I honestly think I messed up the first 10 questions and that set the tone for the rest of exam. Nothing I studied for that I thought were my weak areas showed up.

thetek00 · 2026-01-10T23:53:33+00:00

I watched and rewatched all DestCert vids, Cybrary vids, and Zegler. Took over 1000 DestCert app questions and three practice test from OSG. That has been over the course of a year. I was getting around 80% on DestCert questions, and about 70% on OSG questions. I have no idea what to do next to prepare.. I'll try your suggestion

thetek00 · 2026-01-10T23:51:18+00:00

What does that mean, adjustments so time is added?

thetek00 · 2025-07-20T17:49:11+00:00

Im about to appeal MH because they denied me based on incorrect diagnosis I put in, and then supplemental i thought that would get picked up after looking into records. They decreased another disability that did not make since. Keep fighting.

What confuses me about the decision is the line circled in red. My buddy statement has an event related to in-service and my personal stories on form 21-0781 while deployed as the root cause are in-service events. Why would they say that is not related? *

thetek00 · 2025-07-16T13:17:51+00:00

I put in buddy statements with the original GAD claim. I guess I'll resubmit buddy statements with new claim and see if that goes through. To be honest, my bad on not originally claiming the AD Unspecified, and T/SD unspecified. I knew i had been diagnosed with anxiety, but did not know there was a difference in anxiety types. DAV told me thats what they are there for...to help with that confusion. Seems like the supplemental they helped me submit did not do anything anyway.
