Good vibes to your daughter and, of course, nothing for you.
 
Paul’s and I’s post in no way dismisses the suffering that you Floridians have been dealing with with the last few days in the 60’s. I don’t know how you do it. Stay strong!

Don't worry, in a month or two it'll be 80's with almost 100% hummidity in Georgia. Nothing like going outside and it being both sticky and hot.

Hope today is better for her!
 
Guess what today is? National Sloppy Joe day. So go and have a sloppy joe today! Also in the theme of last week, deeming Wednesday as an 80's day. Here is an 80's song for you all

 
Question for those running an RODI unit... I've had to replace my DI resin the other day but thinking it's a good time to replace my carbon block as well since i have Chloramines and my block is rated for 600 gallons production if Chloramines are present which are in my case.

Does this sound correct for flushing the carbon block? Remove the DI resin so the chamber is empty and then I'll have to disconnect or remove the RO membrane to flush the carbon block until it runs clear?

Kevin it dipped into the 50s here the other night. It was scary... My flip flops didn't work anymore. I felt like the fish wouldnt bite if I tried to catch them. I considered wearing a jalket.... jicket... I cant think of the word for it, but the heavier article of clothing that you wear when it's cold....

Sorry about the little lady. You always hate to see them sick, but it's unbelievable how they bounce back. I hope she gets over it quickly.
