Don't get me started on the Shark vacuum. A few stupid clips break and now I’m using duct tape and bungee cords to keep it together. Sigh!
Can a plumber rig a work around and just plumb directly to the unit's intake and output with pvc and good ole' plumbers compound?
Seems highly suspect or else why would pool heaters need this flange? This thing bolts on to a metal component. I dunno. I'm just going to plumb the heater out. No biggie. I'll replace the heater down the road when I fix re-plaster my pool. The plaster is in bad shape. I think it is original plaster from 23 years ago. lol. Its got some issues, i.e. etching, deposit build-up, one crack. As long as it holds water and the system works. Piece of ****! It's a money sucker. I'm not so great at keeping up with the chemicals. So, that doesn't help.
What is the make and model of your heater and what is the specific model name and number for the part?
Pentair PacFab MiniMax Plus 400. The part number is in the product link above. It is a Pentair 075284 Quick Flange Replacement Kit Pool and Spa Heater. It is discontinued and I haven't been able to find a local supplier with one. I did check eBay as well and several other online pool supply retailers. I can't find this part like I can't find a house in Tuscany!
I'm seeing it all over the internet for $50-100. https://poolsupplydelivery.com/products/pentair-powermax-minimax-quick-flange-kit
Are you f-ing kidding me? I went through like 3 pages of search results looking for this thing. I guess I didn't hit this place. Let me make sure it's legit.
Wow...I hope I just didn't get scammed. The website let me check out with payment information and everything. Then, it says "this site cannot place real orders". WTF? I looked into the website before I ordered. From what I saw, it said it wasn't a scam. I tried calling the contact number. Disconnected. So, I just submitted credit card info for an order that wasn't placed. I checked my credit card account and it didn't show the payment. But, now they potentially have my credit card info? Sigh. I hope they just closed down and didn't record the data. Nice website. Never would have thought it would come back with that. F**K! Any other links? Guess I'll be keeping a closer eye on my credit card account.
It looks like they used to be legit. They are on social media but their updates just stopped. They just fell off the face of the earth apparently. I found some people complaining about orders going unfulfilled. So, I guess they did the least amount possible to shut their business down and splashed a message on the checkout page saying your order was not placed. Very strange to leave the website up like that. I should have known when it said it was in stock because I don't think it is anywhere. I went through many sites. Just not this one. I'm sure they had some before they fell of the face of the earth. I've been burned before on a purchase where I bought something online, the items were to ship as they were received by the business, they charged the full amount, they closed down, and I'm out several hundred dollars because they just fell off the face of the earth with no refunds. I received very little of my order that time. I just couldn't believe a company could get away with that. I'm sure I wasn't the only one burned. I've got my account set up to text me if any charges over $100 show up. I think it will be okay, though.
Air travel.. I've been flying a lot this past month and even under the best of conditions it still sucks. I love traveling but I hate actually traveling.
@Marshall Bryant @tinman @Os Trigonum @AroundTheWorld Just think how much better this place would be without them.
I came up with this skit I imagine to be animated that combines characters from SNL, South Park, The Simpsons, Family Guy, etc. where the actors in "Jaws" are replaced with characters from these shows. For example, I was imagining scenes in my head where: Chief Brody - Gumby Quint - Randy Marsh Matt Hooper - Mr. Bill Ellen Brody - Lois Griffin Ben Meadows - Peter Griffin Michael Brody - Stewie Griffin Mother on ferry (who lost son and slaps Chief Brody) - Agnes Skinner Chrissie Watkins (first shark victim) - Sharon Marsh Deputy Lennie Hendricks - Homer Simpson The thing that sucks is I can't drawer it out cause I suck at drawering.
