    Can muriatic acid be safely used to remove mineral buildup in toilet siphon jet?

    Thanks, Matt. 😃 I appreciate the tip to use Lysol cleaner. I’ll probably pick some up for regular maintenance to keep scaling at bay going forward. After several hours of soaking in CLR and quite a bit of mechanically chipping out, I think I got the siphon and rim jets cleared. It appears to...

    Can muriatic acid be safely used to remove mineral buildup in toilet siphon jet?

    We have a toilet that flushes too slowly. A quick search online and some simple diagnostics revealed the siphon jet at the bottom of the bowl and rim jets under the rim are clogged with mineral buildup (the siphon jet at the bottom of the bowl is almost completely blocked!). I’m in the process...

    Replace aging TCELL940 with TCELLS340 ?

    I would perform an OCLT to rule out something in the water consuming more chlorine than normal before replacing the cell.

    Front Load Washer recommendations?

    I‘m sure it helped that it’s just the two of us, so it doesn’t get used as much as it would with a family with kids. But yeah, we really can’t complain.

    The ultimate answer to the Q: what happens if you fill salt water pool with sea water

    Reminds me of a place were we vacationed once in the 70’s when we lived in Turkey. The beach resort had a pool they filled with water from the sea each morning, then drained it back into the sea each evening. Now that’s a real saltwater pool! 😁👍

    Front Load Washer recommendations?

    We have a 33 year old Amana washing machine that, until now, has only needed one repair 11 years ago (replaced the timer unit). Recently, the tub stopped draining. In researching parts, I discovered this machine is actually an old Speed Queen model with Amana’s name slapped on it. The bad...

    When Should A Hayward DE Filter Assembly Be Replaced?

    I have the same filter, also installed in 2004. The only part I’ve had to replace is the air relief assembly (I accidentally cracked it over tightening the pressure gauge). It’s been great. My thought is if it ain’t broke….. 😀👍

    SWG for Pool in a desert climate

    We’ve had a AquaRite SWCG since early 2004. The main board has been replaced once, the flow sensor has been replaced once, and the T15 cells (genuine Hayward, not aftermarket) have been lasting about 7 years. That’s it; not bad for 20 years. 👍
