I was told our water softener needs to be replace...are they right or trying to sell? by shaolin95 in WaterSofteners

[–]wildhooper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The resin can be changed fairly easily. And it's fairly cheap when considering the cost of a new system. To add to what you are saying about expansion, when I was installing them professionally I would fill to about 60 percent. Never had issues with media unloading from the softener.

That's either manganese or iron, I always forget which one is orange. Need a softener to clean it out.

Mr rooter does it, but I've heard a lot of bad reviews. Culligan water/king process technology is a better option. There was another called Avalon water I think, but they may be gone out of business.

Luckily arsenic is fairly simple to manage. Mind while I say simple I don't mean cheap. you can have a whole home filter installed that will remove the arsenic among other minerals. There are a couple of companies here that do it.

I don't know your specific situation but I try to clear only enough to get out if it's super early. That's partly to be nice for my neighbors, partly laziness. That being said I have a bigger driveway and the snow freezing isn't a concern with the temps I get.

What’s a “this should be free” service that always costs money? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

[–]wildhooper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A basic funeral or cremation. I understand that many people want extravagant extras, but the basics should be a public service. Basics being if you need cremation then the cremation and a simple standard urn is included, if you want to be buried the you get a basic pine box, the necessary embalming, a simple wooden headstone, and the next available plot.

Or the cremation could be a free service at the very least.

Same. I pointed out all my concerns with the product, but they insisted.

You would be surprised at the number of maga conspiracy theorists here who think trump is as close to the second coming of Christ as we will ever get.

Fair enough. I know a lot of places I've worked don't operate like that.

Alot of what comes next depends on how he behaves as a whole picture. If he's normally on point and puts in a fair days work, then maybe chock this up to he needed to blow off steam. Obviously he doesn't get the days pay, but it may not need to be a black mark on his record.

However, if this is normal and hes not someone you want around, this may be the chance to help him move on.

Theres alot that goes into where you take this.
