Plenty of people. Entire generations were raised and indoctrinated on concepts like "You'll be homeless if you don't get a degree" and "You should invest and let your money work for you".

Then factor in pensions and retirement investments. ALL of this matters. This mind-blowing realization that it was all bullshit came well after we invested, got that degree, etc,. Those who can't see it are either from the generation who preached it or those fortunate enough to have dodged it themselves.

Sounds like a shit title imo

agrees in equally out-of-date car ownership

Are you referring to the little semi-dome mesh filters that sit between your water lines and intake ports on your washing machine?

Sounds like sediment issues with your well.

Any idea how deep the pump sits and how deep the well is- that's to ask how far from the top and the bottom of the actual water the pump sits? I spent a few years dealing with about every well issues one could have, so your situation pulls hard lol

Edit: where geographically are you situated? Do you have a dry season that impacts local aquifers and tables? If those are the filters you're referring to, what are you seeing when placing them? Get any silt after filling a tub?

It's late and my wife's and my 12th anniversary, so I'm going to get to bed l, but I'll check back tomorrow. Enjoy your night!

So replacing the pump (I have a well) can cause a temporary increase in sediment. Do you have aerators on your tub tap? Unscrew it and check for a clog.

To drain your heater- kill the power at your breaker for both the well pump and water heater, then run the hot water until it's empty / cold. On the heater, at the bottom, will be a 3/4" threaded tap for a garden hose. Connect one and put the other end in a drain. Let.ot empty, turn the pump on to refill the heater, and empty again. Do that until it's clear. With aerator on the tub clear, flip power back on.

Replacing a pump causes a change down in your well, which can stir up sediment. Small amounts build up quickly. Odds are it'll be shiny (micah) or red (clay/iron). Report back down the road when you try it out

Hey. I just want to clarify- are you saying you replaced the drain grate/insert in your bathtub, and now the water pressure from the tap is weak?

On its face, drainage and water feed shouldn't impact each other outside of a closed system (which a tap to tub to drain is not).

Is it both the hot and cold that are now weak? City or well water? Have you flushed your water heater in the last year? Let's see if we can get this figured out.

Just signed up for it! Thanks OP!

I live just outside of Brevard. We have white squirrel everything. Festivals, businesses, merchandise, etc,.

Can confirm. I live in Transylvania county, and have a resident white squirrel on my property.

Agreed.

And the thin mint knock-offs at Walmart suck.

Nothing beats a delicious thin mint cookie born of a child's capitalistic venture. So goddamn delicious
