    My POS Penteir Master Temp 400 pool heater is fucking up.
    Hadnt used it all winter until trying 2 weeks ago. Not used the spa since Nov. Water temp 65 and set it for 82. No issues since new in 3 years. Fired it up and business as usual with that crazy jet engine roar. About 15 mins in it starts cycling thru on then back to off repeatedly every 2-3 minutes. When it would turn off the “ service heater” light would turn solid red. Light would go off and heater would begin to fire up like normal. Called pool tech and he came by and said the heater checked okay but my issue is probably my house atmos gas pressure at the heater, said:
    (Max inlet was around 9”wc and when the heater fired it dropped down to 3.75”wc Max should be around 12-14 and drop down to no less than 4” wc)
    Pool guy says to call gas company to request larger meter. Our house is on ATMOS gas and was built in 1990 and he says the meter is on the smaller side.
    But if gas company comes out and pressure test house and finds leaks they wont hook up new meter to house until all leaks are found. Gas to furnace and water heater only.

    Plumber says he will run by and check pressure of line and check house side for leaks. Plumber says its odd that heater has worked all along and now shit the bed due to low pressure. Thinks its probably the heater. But he doesnt work on pool heaters.
    I dont know shit about fuck but I agree with the plumbers opinion.
    Tech guy does a ton of pentair stuff and has swapped alot of equipment thru pentair warranty.



    Will see this week.

    Anyone ever encounter this?

    Did they check the stack flu sensor? Also, aren't heater warranties only good for 1 year?

    I used to talk mad shit about the dorks that complained at work about losing/gaining an hour. "Who gives a fuck?", I would ask the losers.  Well, I guess fun time's over for me. I felt shitty yesterday and again today, haven't slept well. I can't explain it. I have become that which I most despise. 

    This was the first year it hit me as well. I almost never feel tired at my desk in my normal routine, but today sucked. Today felt different.

    My 8th grader got into St. John's! The counselor told me about it last night, early, because he was excited to get him. The boy has been diagnosed with autism and is enduring his third straight year in public junior high of being called the "school retard" and being fucked with in general. He's had his lunch kit and drinking bottle, new versions each time, stolen from him 3 times in the past week. It's been hard for a kid who really loves school and learning but has no idea how to handle many human interactions. Anyway, he tested off the charts for private school and his grades are absurd, so he somehow overcame the interviewing process and got his #1 pick. My wife cried with happiness and relief. 

    Congrats! Lower school legacies and siblings heard at 10am. Everyone else is at noon, apparently. We are longshots but tested really well. Pins and needles.

    He’s actually doing pretty well overall, he’s just going through a growth thing or has a stomach bug or something. This is not an atypical night, although often he needs to be resettled at about 3.

    Can you tell me what I'm looking for here? This is a live feed from Foxnews and they are covering the Philly mayor. This could be my fault, I'm pretty dumb.

    US blocks UNSC resolution condemning Israel over aid truck stampede disaster

     

    President Biden: US ‘checking competing statements’ after Hamas claims 100 dead

    The U.S. on Thursday blocked a UN Security Council (UNSC) statement blaming Israel for the over 100 alleged deaths in a stampede around an aid convoy in northern Gaza on Thursday morning.

    The U.S. was the only country of the 15 council members that didn’t support the statement put forward by Algeria in an emergency closed meeting, Palestinian UN ambassador Riyad Mansour told reporters.

    The American deputy ambassador Robert Wood said that discussions about amending the language of the statement would continue, but added, “The problem is that we don’t have all the facts here.”

    President Joe Biden told reporters that the U.S. was checking “competing versions” of the incident that led to over 100 deaths and hundreds of injured, according to sources in the Gaza Strip.

    Israel said that most of the injuries were a result of large crowds swarming around the aid truck convoy and trying to loot it, leading to a stampede that killed most of the victims.

    The IDF acknowledged that soldiers shot around ten people in a crowd which endangered the soldiers and a tank at a nearby checkpoint.

    Despite Israeli statements and the release of drone footage showing large crowds around the aid convoy, the White House called reports of the incident “tremendously alarming.”

    “This latest event needs to be thoroughly investigated,” White House spokesperson Olivia Dalton said on Thursday. U.S. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said that the U.S. had asked Israel to provide answers.

    “We have been in touch with the Israeli government since early this morning and understand that an investigation is underway. We will be monitoring that investigation closely and pressing for answers,” he said, adding that the U.S. also called on Israel to allow “as many points of access as possible, and to enable safe and secure distribution of that aid throughout Gaza.”

    In a press conference on Thursday evening, IDF Spokesman Brig.-Gen. Daniel Hagari presented the results of the IDF’s preliminary investigation into the incident.

    “No IDF strike was conducted toward the aid convoy,” Hagari said. “On the contrary, the IDF was there carrying out a humanitarian aid operation, to secure the humanitarian corridor, and allow the aid convoy to reach its distribution point, so that the humanitarian aid could reach Gazan civilians in the north who are in need.”

    Israel was widely blamed for the deaths in statements from governments in the region, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and Turkey.

    They were joined by some European governments as well. “The fire by Israeli soldiers against civilians trying to access food is unjustifiable,” the French foreign ministry said, while Spain’s foreign minister called the deaths “unacceptable.”

    Is this a different event than the one earlier in the week that was blamed on a strike from the Israeli Navy?
