ShrimpBrime: I mean it's not over powering, just can get the hint of chlorine. It's far better than we'll water though, I'll take it!! Mar 17, 2024 17:23:54 GMT -5
zila1: That's weird. I would think that would have cleared on it's own with water usage. At least you don't have to worry about bacteria in your water. Mar 17, 2024 16:13:05 GMT -5
ShrimpBrime: When they tore up Dean Street and replaced pipes, I think they over treated the water a bit. Chlorine is bleech. Mar 17, 2024 13:09:23 GMT -5
zila1: After the new parts for the water heater arrive I'm gonna flush it again. Previous owner never did. The burner area under the heater was a dirty mess. Venting nicely now. But the igniter is weak. Water heater percolates too. Some do. Some don't. Mar 17, 2024 11:01:38 GMT -5
zila1: Your water smells like bleach? Hmmm, chlorine? We don't have that odor here. Mar 17, 2024 10:53:52 GMT -5
ShrimpBrime: Smells like bleach at our house. Mar 16, 2024 23:28:15 GMT -5
zila1: That smell is now gone. I also flushed out the water heater. I have a new anode rod on order as well as a new burner assembly and igniter. I hate water softeners. Mar 16, 2024 21:06:53 GMT -5
zila1: : Oh my gosh, you said a mouth full there. I hated that thing. I am starting to think that all the water problems we were having here was the water softener itself and not the hard water. The water tasted horrible. And had a smell to it. Mar 16, 2024 21:05:08 GMT -5
ShrimpBrime: We deal with the hard water. Just don't drink it. Glad you got rid of the salt bin though. Pain in the ass to deal with. Mar 16, 2024 9:30:36 GMT -5
zila1: An Electronic De-scaler is an interesting concept to me. Whether or not this thing is gonna work only time will tell. I am just so glad that water softener is gone. Mar 12, 2024 11:30:47 GMT -5
zila1: No more massive waste of water. No more having to feed that thing bags upon bags of salt. God how I hated that water softener. Mar 11, 2024 20:55:38 GMT -5
zila1: Well, it's installed. The old water softener got hauled away. And this Flow-tech is just a small box on the wall with wires attached from it to the pipes. Some sort of sonar type signals get sent thru the pipes to stop all the hard water damage. Mar 11, 2024 20:54:41 GMT -5
zila1: This Flo-Tech thing is totally new to me. I hope it works out. I was quoted a couple thousand dollars to replace the water softener and I'm not happy with that. I hate them. Mar 9, 2024 11:34:08 GMT -5
zila1: He tells me he will leave the pipes for the water softener in place for now in case I don't like the flo-tech. He says removing the flo-tech if I don't like it is a piece of cake. Mar 9, 2024 11:30:56 GMT -5 *
zila1: So after talking to my plumber he recommended a device called a Flo-Tech. He will take out the dead water softener for me on Monday and install that Flo-Tech in it's place. Mar 9, 2024 11:29:55 GMT -5
zila1: My water softener died. It spit out a bunch of media into my laundry tub while it was doing it's re-gen. I hate water softeners. They waste a lot of water and are a maintenance nightmare for me. Mar 9, 2024 11:27:45 GMT -5
austin86: @scot wow talk about a good score! Feb 26, 2024 9:16:29 GMT -5
Bones: It was acting the same way when I got it, the guy I bought it from told me that what it was doing and I got it going again at least. For $10 plus shipping, it was a good buy. Feb 24, 2024 13:31:10 GMT -5 *
zila1: That's bad ass Scottie. 8-) Feb 24, 2024 13:30:28 GMT -5
Bones: Now I need to revive mine and see what it can do. It acts crazy at times like it's dead but then it comes to life.... I'm thinking a full recap of the board might fix it because the last time it ran without any signs of trouble. Feb 24, 2024 13:30:02 GMT -5
