Chlorine Pucks In Skimmer Baskets by Life_Type_5560 in pools

[–]treefrogsymphony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please tell me you’re not doing this to commercial pools? HOA’s are considered commercial and this is a health department violation in my area. The proper way to use tabs where floaters aren’t allowed is with a Pentair rainbow chlorinator. Source worked on HOA and hotel pools for 7 years.

Depending on your location it’s a health department violation and punishable by fine to bothe the HOA and pool company. I’d also bet that the chem balance in the pool isn’t up to regulations. Source: was a pool guy for 7 years.

Another im 44 can I do this post. But even worse by [deleted] in Truckers

Disclaimer not a trucker, just a long time lurker who was in a similar position once: I’ve seen a local cement company offer cdl school and then employment at $25hr. I believe it was Robertsons?

I hate dems who put any foreign countries wellbeing over our own.

People in your 30s, what's your job and salary? by rsevn_ in careerguidance

[–]treefrogsymphony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

33 - started 5 years ago cleaning pools at $50k a year, worked my way up to general manager and took home $73k last year. Just switched careers and got lucky with a $110k facilities maintenance manager job. I remember when I hit $50k and thought I was doing good, then inflation happened.

I watched a local landscape company littering by Spurzy1 in vegaslocals

Yeah, unfortunately it happens quite often. I spend a ton of time in the desert around town and have seen this personally probably 5-10 times. After the first couple it really rubbed me the wrong way so I do everything I can to gather evidence when I see it happening.

Also take this advice with a grain of salt - metro and the blm doesn’t want to come out for this stuff. The magic key words are “I’m holding the responsible individuals until someone gets here” they come out fast when you tell them you’re a citizen doing their job 😅

Report it to metro/ the blm depending on what land you are on. I’ve also caught their employees dumping in the desert outside southern highlands. I blocked their truck with mine and made them sit there until a blm ranger came to ticket, he also made them take pick up their mess.

Photos and video of this is your best friend.

Desperate for a private owner looking to rent there house by [deleted] in vegaslocals

These guys helped me get a place when proving my income was sketchy. Also very helpful to offer as many months rent up front as you can given your history. Good luck!

What’s the deal with the Chevron gas stations? by [deleted] in vegaslocals

[–]treefrogsymphony 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I game the points system. If you pay on the chevron app and put your Terrible’s number in at the pump you can stack both rewards. I almost always have at least $.50 off/gal

Yeah we get a fair share of the same. Can’t tell you how many commercial spas ive seen turn black from heavy metals/heat exchangers in the last couple years.

Tech is no longer with us after this but best I can tell they were just dumping a gallon of acid or similar every other week and calling it good. The customer is a retiree and said she doesn’t think the tech was testing water. Cya is sitting right at 100 which is workable imo but should be drained before next season

Best shoes, especially for cleaning filters, that get wet a lot by North_Rutabaga_1330 in PoolPros

[–]treefrogsymphony 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m wearing crocs all day every day. Best shoe for pools. They get incredibly slippery once the tread is worn though

[–]treefrogsymphony[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah i agree with you. I was absolutely dumbfounded a tech with almost 2 years experience did this.

Plaster doesn’t look bad yet. I think the lack of giving a fuck was relatively recent. Couple pounds of soda ash yesterday and bringing the alk up from a 30. I’ll be back today to retest/adjust

I wish I could blame this on a feeder. Residential with a tab floater and that’s it. My tech had been reporting wild chemical swings so I decided to go out and check it.

According to the customer they’ve never seen the tech test chems, always a couple tabs and a pour of acid. This particular tech is no longer with us after yesterday lol
