2015.06.03 06:16 Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity
Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity is an officially recognized disability in Sweden (this is not recognized as an illness because no diagnosis exists for this condition).” Professor Johansson gave the example of a head ache “ how can one measure the pain or prove the existence of a head ache?” Sweden ranks in the top 10 in the world for healthcare. Magnetic Flux poses the largest threat to individuals with EMHS.
2024.05.16 17:36 _Allex BMW e92 330i - one year of ownership
 | https://preview.redd.it/1yzkrzor5t0d1.png?width=2340&format=png&auto=webp&s=f1cf6b8616c8a1100798203dc8c79f2dbefd7916 submitted by _Allex to E90 [link] [comments] So yeah, as the title says, I bought my E92 330i (09/2009) a year ago and I want to reflect on my year of ownership. I want to share all the maintenance that was done, my driving experience, and observations. From the start, I knew that it wouldn’t be easy to maintain the car. It's powered by the N53B30 (200 kW) engine, which many people are not fond of. My ideal pick would be the N52B30 200 kW variant, but sadly, that was not widely available in Europe for the E92 model. General observation Let’s get to the point. If you are considering buying this car, make sure it has undergone proper maintenance first. Don’t gamble with models that have a shady maintenance history. If you are living in Europe, especially in the former "Ost blok," don’t buy this car in your country unless you have 100% service documentation from the previous owner. Back in the day, for the price of this car, you could buy one or two nice apartments in the capital (Bratislava). There simply weren’t enough people buying these cars in this part of Europe who could afford them. Nowadays, most of the E9x models are imported from Western Europe. Although the prices of the cars have significantly dropped, the cost of maintenance remains the same. Even with today’s salaries in this part of Europe, people can’t afford to maintain these vehicles properly. This leads to neglecting service intervals, using cheap aftermarket parts instead of OE/OEM ones, and not using the correct fuel, etc. Buying this kind of vehicle from, let’s say, Germany isn’t always the ideal solution, but at least people have higher purchasing power and can spend more on properly maintaining the car. My experience I bought my E92 with 218,000 km (~135,769.606 miles) in April 2023. I immediately fell in love with the car; despite the electric steering, the vehicle felt great. The acceleration, thanks to the last naturally aspirated N53 engine, felt powerful, linear, and willing to chase the red line every time I stepped on the gas. Thanks to direct injection, the fuel consumption was also solid. Driving according to the speed limit could get me way below 8.5l/100 km (27.67 mpg), usually between 7.5 - 8.3l/100km (31.69 - 28.33 mpg), which is an amazing value for a 3L 200 kW engine. The shape of the chassis is timeless, adorned by beautiful angel eyes and a long bonnet. The full leather interior with memory sport seats looks and feels brand new. The manual 6-speed transmission with a classical analog speedometer with an orange backlight is a work of art. Despite being a coupe, the car provides two fully functional back seats with enough legroom for even a 1.9-meter-tall person. Individual anthracite upholstery with beautiful black velour floor mats is just a nice bonus on top of this. The fuel system and the engine The biggest downside of this car is definitely the expensive high-pressure fuel system: pricey index 12 fuel injectors with NOx sensors and catalytic converters. Although direct injection enables you to drive very economically, it can cause problems. The engine can run in three different modes (stratified charge, homogeneous lean charge, and homogeneous charge mode). This can be discussed on many pages, but the long story short is: if you have any issue with the combustion system, ranging from spark plugs, coils, injectors, NOx sensor, or catalytic converters, you will lose the benefit of fuel consumption and run a very lean mixture, having the consumption of an N52. People (mainly from the US) complain about the high-pressure fuel pump, which can give up and destroy your €2500 injectors and fuel lines. You can more or less avoid this by using premium fuels (98/100 octane and higher) with cleaning additives (this will also help by removing carbon buildup). You should also expect to change your oil every 8000 - 10,000 km and no more. The N53 runs very hot; it is not uncommon for the oil temperature in the engine to reach 120°C when driving dynamically. You don’t want any burned oil slugs in the gasket, which can damage the timing chain and VANOS units. Also, the engine, thanks to the direct injection system, is quite noisy at idle (similar to diesel) and isn’t as silky smooth as the N52 or the M54 engines. Another topic is the water pump, which according to many, tends to fail. I had mine preventively replaced at 238,026 km. I didn’t notice any issues with it or the HPFP. Also, don’t forget to inspect/replace the DISA flaps; those can cause catastrophic engine damage if they are sucked into the cylinders. Conclusion Despite the mentioned issues, the engine can be very reliable and giving. My one year of maintenance was quite pricey. This could have been avoided if the previous owner had done some preventative maintenance. Sadly, he only replaced the clutch and spark plugs. However, one thing BMW really nailed with this engine was the timing chain. I still run on the original one (no knocking or loose chain whatsoever), and I’m planning to replace it before reaching the 300k km mark. If you have any remarks, feel free to ask. I’m also posting the maintenance that was done during my ownership. The prices include tax and labor. I serviced the car only with original parts at an authorized dealership. Maintenance May 2023 - 220 577 km - €322.90

2024.05.16 17:23 MolokoBespoko The unsuccessful search for Moors Murders victim, Keith Bennett, on Saddleworth Moor between September and October 2022
This story has been gaining some small online traction over the past couple of days, and Russell Edwards has been namedropped again by Keith Bennett’s brother, Alan Bennett, on social media. I want people to be in no doubt about what Edwards did back in 2022, and I want to make sure that the following ranks near the top of Google searches too so that people can easily find information that discredits this complete and utter charlatan.
Header photo description and credits: Greater Manchester Police employing a drone in the excavation of the site searched for the remains of Keith Bennett on Saddleworth Moor, 2nd October 2022. Manchester Evening News
He claimed to have started looking into Keith Bennett’s disappearance in 2015, but had been interested in the case since around the time the remains of another Moors Murders victim, Pauline Reade, were discovered in 1987.
I would strongly encourage everybody to read these FAQs around the search for Keith too. I wrote these up a while ago, and Alan himself has been kind enough to contribute to them as well after the fact.
In a statement published on 30th September 2022, GMP Force Review Officer Martin Bottomley said:
“At around 11.25am on Thursday 29th September 2022, Greater Manchester Police was contacted by the representative of an author who has been researching the murder of Keith Bennett, a victim of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley. Following direct contact with the author, we were informed that he had discovered what he believes are potential human remains in a remote location on the Moors and he agreed to meet with officers yesterday afternoon to elaborate on his find and direct us to a site of interest.
“The site was assessed late last night and, this morning, specialist officers have begun initial exploration activity. We are in the very early stages of assessing the information which has been brought to our attention but have made the decision to act on it in line with a normal response to a report of this kind.”
It was first reported in the Daily Mail that a “skull” had been found, although the same article then went on to say that “detectives are preparing to exhume a particular area where suspected skeletal remains have been found including what experts believe to be a child’s upper jaw with a full set of teeth”. It was also reported that a small piece of blue and white striped material, and potential samples of body tissue (although this was later discredited as a probable mixture of vegetation and muddy water), had been found.
Edwards had claimed he and his team had conducted extensive soil analysis of the area, which they had discovered 4 weeks before. There were high levels of calcium, which can indicate the presence of human remains (but the team did not mention that it also indicates the presence of limestone or another high calcium natural material). Describing the dig, he said “the smell hit me about 2ft down. Like a sewer, like ammonia. I worked as a gravedigger when I was 19. It hits you, that smell of death. It is distinctive.”
Alan Bennett later stated that the smell was probably methane - of which there are pockets containing it across the moor. Edwards also falsely stated that everything was left in situ - more on that in the paragraph after the next one.
On Saturday 1st October, Greater Manchester Police issued a statement saying that “no identifiable human remains have been found” - despite what several tabloid and local newspapers had been reporting. It was confirmed that drones were being used in the search on the 2nd October, and a statement issued by GMP later that day confirmed that excavation of the site will continue for the foreseeable future.
Edwards and members of his team started posting on Facebook and declaring that Keith Bennett had already been found. On 2nd October, Jari Louhelainen, a Senior Lecturer in Molecular Biology at Liverpool John Moores University and a member of Edwards’ team, posted a photo of himself analysing what he suspected was a “bunch of hair” from the dig site. He later confirmed in the comments of his post (after being called out for posting it in the first place) that it was a “look-a-like plant material”.
On 4th October, Detective Chief Inspector Cheryl Hughes, of GMP’s Force Review Unit, said: “Forensic Archaeologists and Forensic Anthropologists have now completed a methodical archaeological excavation and examination of the area previously dug and refilled by the member of the public. No bones, fabric or items of interest were recovered from the soil.
“These accredited and certified forensic experts are now continuing with a methodical and controlled excavation of the area immediately surrounding the original site to provide a higher level of assurance of the presence or absence of any items of interest. Further soil samples have been taken for analysis, but at this time there is no visible evidence to suggest the presence of human remains. The scene examination is ongoing.
“A report of possible human remains is always treated with seriousness. As such, we have deployed police search advisors who can support our scenes of crimes officers – this will result in more visible and high profile tactics, such as officers walking in lines to identify any potential sites of focus.
“GMP is committed to providing Keith’s family with answers following this report, both from the physical excavation and subsequent analysis of samples. This will take some time but we will keep the family updated at every stage and request that their privacy is respected.
“We have seen the outpouring of support since this news broke so know how our communities feel about this case but we are asking members of the public not to travel to the area and can assure them that we will provide timely and appropriate updates.”
At 2pm on 7th October 2022, Greater Manchester Police announced that they had closed the scene on Saddleworth Moor after finding no evidence to indicate the presence of human remains. “At this time, there is no evidence of the presence of human remains.”
Assistant Chief Constable Sarah Jackson, portfolio holder for crime, said: “We have always said that we would respond, in a timely and appropriate manner, to any credible information which may lead us towards finding Keith. Our actions in the last week or so are a highly visible example of what that response looks like, with the force utilising the knowledge and skills of accredited experts, specialist officers and staff. It is these accredited experts and specialists who have brought us to a position from where we can say that, despite a thorough search of the scene and ongoing analysis of samples taken both by ourselves and a third party, there is currently no evidence of the presence of human remains at, or surrounding, the identified site on Saddleworth Moor. However, I want to make it clear that our investigation to find answers for Keith’s family is not over.
“We understand how our communities in Greater Manchester feel about this case, the renewed interest in it and the shared desire to find Keith. Much of Saddleworth Moor is private land so we would ask that members of the public, in the first instance, report any perceived intelligence to their local police service. The discovery of suspected human remains must be reported immediately to enable the use of specialist resources to investigate appropriately.”
Senior Investigating Officer Detective Chief Inspector Cheryl Hughes said: “The investigation into Keith’s disappearance and murder has remained open since 1964 and it will not be closed until we have found the answers his family have deserved for so many years. We are thankful for their continued support of our ongoing enquiries. This has been a distressing time for them and we ask that their privacy is respected.
“We understand the confusion which may have been caused to Keith’s family and communities across Greater Manchester by reports to the contrary. We hope that by giving this detailed update today, we provide reassurance that GMP are committed to finding accurate answers for Keith’s family.
“In response to the report made on Thursday 29 September 2022, officers met with the member of the public who later provided us with samples and copies of the photographs he had taken. He also took officers to the location from which he had obtained these and provided grid references.
“In the days since, independent accredited forensic archaeologists and certified forensic anthropologists, together with GMP’s Crime Scene Investigators, have completed a methodical forensic archaeological excavation and examination of the identified area and beyond. An accredited forensic geologist also took a number of soil samples – analysis of which is ongoing.
“The items given to us by the member of the public have been examined by a forensic scientist and though this hasn’t yet indicated the presence of human remains – more analysis is required. With regards to the photograph, we have sought the assistance of a forensic botanist. We are now utilising the knowledge and skills of a forensic image expert to put a standard anthropological measurement to the object to assist with identification. At this stage, the indications are that it would be considerably smaller than a juvenile jaw and it cannot be ruled out that it is plant-based.
“The excavation and examination at the site is complete and, to reiterate, we have found no evidence that this is the burial location of Keith Bennett.”
“Any professional archaeologist would ask for a scale in any pictures or video taken at a scene [in reference to the fact that police confirmed the object found was too small to be a juvenile jaw], that was not the case here and the reason police had to call in a photographic specialist to determine the scale of the supposed jawbone..which turns out to be too small for a child from what I've been told so far and, of course couldn't be found anyway and could only have been vegetation if anything at all.”
I am not entirely sure what the “blue and white striped fabric” turned out to be - I assume that nothing was found.
Alan has since posted evidence that Russell Edwards had been planning the “discovery of Keith’s remains” as part of a stunt to promote his upcoming book on the case - a book that Edwards has been radio-silent about since all of this controversy.
Edwards has refused to apologise to Keith’s family and despite being proven wrong, and him and his team being called out for the charlatans they are (with even him admitting that his own reputation is in tatters), as of December 2022 he stood by his actions and his claims that he believed he had found Keith’s body.
To my own understanding (though I do not speak on behalf of Alan Bennett or on behalf of anybody who was involved in this whole debacle, let me be clear), there has been complete radio-silence on news of Edwards’ book since this date.

Who is Russell Edwards?
Edwards is a self-proclaimed “amateur detective”, who has for many years invested a lot of his own time and money in trying to get to the bottom of numerous infamous unsolved cases. He has claimed to have identified Jack the Ripper as a Polish barber named Aaron Kosminski, and wrote a book about his “findings” called “Naming Jack the Ripper” - which have since been called into question along with the credibility of both Edwards and the forensic scientist he collaborated with in regards to both Jack the Ripper and the Moors Murders, Jari Louhelainen.He claimed to have started looking into Keith Bennett’s disappearance in 2015, but had been interested in the case since around the time the remains of another Moors Murders victim, Pauline Reade, were discovered in 1987.
The known facts of Keith Bennett’s disappearance and murder
Keith was walking to his grandmother’s house on the evening of 16th June 1964 when he was abducted by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley. According to their accounts, he was driven up to Saddleworth Moor and endured sexual assault before he was strangled to death and buried in a shallow grave. There is a detailed and extensive write-up on Brady’s and Hindley’s conflicting accounts linked here. Tragically, to this day Keith Bennett remains the only one of the couple’s victims whose remains were never recovered.I would strongly encourage everybody to read these FAQs around the search for Keith too. I wrote these up a while ago, and Alan himself has been kind enough to contribute to them as well after the fact.
The 2022 “findings”
First off, here’s where exactly Edwards made his “discovery” in relation to where the other bodies were found. I should state that this area consists of plenty of gullies and peat soil. If you click on the 2022 Search on Saddleworth Moor flair, you‘ll see everything we discussed in this subreddit as the search was being carried out. But I will recap what happened anyway.In a statement published on 30th September 2022, GMP Force Review Officer Martin Bottomley said:
“At around 11.25am on Thursday 29th September 2022, Greater Manchester Police was contacted by the representative of an author who has been researching the murder of Keith Bennett, a victim of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.

Aftermath
It was discovered that two of Edwards’ team members, Lesley Dunlop (a geologist) and Dawn Keen (a forensic archaeologist) were not accredited professionals in their respective fields. Alan Bennett clarified in a Facebook post on 5th November 2022, in reference to Keen:“Any professional archaeologist would ask for a scale in any pictures or video taken at a scene [in reference to the fact that police confirmed the object found was too small to be a juvenile jaw], that was not the case here and the reason police had to call in a photographic specialist to determine the scale of the supposed jawbone..which turns out to be too small for a child from what I've been told so far and, of course couldn't be found anyway and could only have been vegetation if anything at all.”

2024.05.16 17:10 wunderf1tz best reverse osmosis filter for hard water(high pH 7.6 and high ppm 370)
Hi there!
Im looking for a good RO system < 500€/$ for my hydroponic system that helps both the pH and the high calciumcarbonate load. I bought a cheap one that didnt help and now dont want to waste money again. I also started a rain water tank from a small tool shed in our shared house's garden. As it is farely dry in the german rhine valley i need a water backup from tap water when that tank runs low.
The hydroponic system consists of two PVC-U pipes (110 mm) both connected to a 50 liter tank. A small aquarium pump and a bubbler keep the flow and oxygen inside.
Im looking forward to your expert answers (god I love hydroponic!)

I'm thinking of upgrading to something like a 60L give me a bit more wiggle room for water fluctuations, really don't want to get back into huge tanks again, so 60L seems a reasonable compromise. submitted by kitenski to Aquariums [link] [comments] I've read the Wiki which has been super useful and I want to try a low tech planted tropical tank with pool filter sand. 2 quick questions, how deep should that be and how do I clean the substrate?

2024.05.16 16:48 apa-sl Am I doing something wrong? 2nd picopresso unit and I cannot get a proper flow do get a nice espresso
So 2 months ago I have bought picopresso. From the beginning I had a water leak through the pump. Described it here: https://www.reddit.com/picopresso/comments/1b9m11p/is_water_leak_from_the_pump_a_normal_thing_first/
In the end I have got a new unit under the warranty. When it arrived I had only some few months old medium quality coffee at hand, tried it is it working OK (18g, exagrind grinder on 14 & 15 clicks) and espressos were OK.
Switched to a better coffee (few weeks old, dark roast, more oily) and I was unable to get an espresso on 14 clicks (there was some presure and hissing sound). Went back to 15 & 16 clicks and... nothing! I am tampering only with the funnel (to not go to hard). Was using 18g portion always, tried also 17.5g.
The result is always the same (tried around 10 times):
Am I doing something wrong? Did my 2nd picopresso unit went south already?

In the end I have got a new unit under the warranty. When it arrived I had only some few months old medium quality coffee at hand, tried it is it working OK (18g, exagrind grinder on 14 & 15 clicks) and espressos were OK.

The result is always the same (tried around 10 times):
- hissing sound during the pumping.
- flow is minimal.
- I can feel some presure but not 'rock hard', I can continue pumping without any issues.
- getting 2-4g of espresso within ~30s.
- depending on the try and grind I can get 30-35g of espresso in 2 minutes...

 | I attempted a water heater flush yesterday. It didn't do much. I think I forced some deposits towards the upstairs tub and clogged the cartridge in the tub because this happened the same day I did the flush. submitted by Over9000Zeros to askaplumber [link] [comments] The faucet also has a hard time opening and closing to turn on the shower head and there's a lot of white stuff inside.

2024.05.16 16:47 Frosty-Maybe-1750 Cat coughs after drinking water
My male shorthair has recently been coughing and I've brought him to the vet. Vet thinks it might be asthma, but what is puzzling is that he only coughs after drinking water. Usually about 30sec to a minute after.
He never coughs from food, not from dusty places, or any other random event. He's coughed about 9 times the past month, and it's always when he's had water. We tried with the stainless steel fountain, a normal water dish, and even cups. All filtered fresh boiled water. Also tried varying the height all the way to neck level. It still happens.
As weird as it sounds, can asthma be triggered by drinking water ONLY? I'm inclined to listen to the vet, but my science brain says that something doesn't add up. Could this just be drinking too fast and a result from water entering the nose or airways and choking as a result?

2024.05.16 16:36 scruffy01 Can't find source of airleak and I'm a bit stumped.
So this might be a bit longer cause I've put in the work, but I'm confused. Also not just trying to be cheap, because 2 different pool companies has looked at it and they just basically said they don't know. Though if I'm being frank they didn't strike me as particularly knowledgeable.
I have a typical pool with a sand filter. I'm getting air through pretty much all my jets. It is a significant amount of air. My research says this is likely a suction side leak.
I've got a 3 way diverter valve on the two pipes coming into the pump basket. Which way I turn that valve does not impact the amount of air at all. So I can't narrow it down to being a main drain line problem or a skimmer line problem.
This is the only pool I've owned so I'm not positive if there is air in the pump basket. I can see the water moving around in there but to me its not a lot of void and not blatantly like "Hey there's air in here". I can get a video if someone wants.
I've tried the soap foam test, shaving cream test, and a poorly attempted smoke test on pretty much every single connection around my pump and filter, including around the pump basket. I can't find anywhere that's definitely sucking in air.
I've replaced the pump basket gasket.
One weird thing that happened is I went to drain the pool so I turned the diverter to only pull from the main drain, and after it got below the skimmers I could still hear the skimmers quietly (not strongly) trying to suck in air. The pump also completely quit pulling in water from the main drain. I'm pretty sure it typically does get at least some water from the main drain since when I open both the skimmers and the main drain, the skimmers quit pulling as hard (it creates a vortex if I turn it to skimmers only).
Maybe that is just the airleak causing it to lose the necessary suction to pull from the main drain since it is lower and requires more suction? or maybe an indication the diverter valve is not closing properly. I have already ordered replacement gaskets and diverter for the Jandy diverter valve.
This is my first pool and I'm a complete noob so I welcome any criticism/input.

2024.05.16 16:23 desperatedonut5 3 month ownership update on my 2013 Fiat 500C Lounge!
It's been about 3 months since I purchased my second Fiat 500 in February (after losing my first in a car accident back in January, if you remember the little yellow egg you'll know the one) and I'm happy to say it's been very great to me! However, I've come to notice in the time that I've had it that the previous owners did not take very good care of this car besides oil changes and tire changes.
I will have to get a lot of services done on the car over the summer, such as a water pump/timing belt change, air filter change, oil/oil filter change, etc etc. I was also not told that the person who owned the car before the retired couple I bought it from had it repoed, which explains why it didn't come with a keyfob. Nevertheless, for how little care was put into it it has been very reliable to me. The engine light only coming on one time for a misfire which I easily fixed with new sparks and coil packs. Now up to 113k miles (bought at 110K), I'm looking to get a transmission flush and refill very soon once I have the money... I just need my job to give me more hours like I requested.

2024.05.16 16:14 RoadResponsible9953 Outlet above sink - move outlet or cover?
 | We have a tiny apartment where half is not to code, i dont even claim rent on my taxes cause theres no shot this place is a certified dwelling lol but the rents cheap so whatever submitted by RoadResponsible9953 to DIY [link] [comments] the laundry machine is portable and get hooked up to an adapter we have on the faucet, so sometimes someone (me) will forget the adapter is switched to the hose before turning the water on and it sprays everywhere, leading to my concern about the outlet. anyway, i need to sort a safer option for the power we need from this outlet. Its the only one in the small kitchen. We have a coffee machine on one side and a microwave on the other. I thought about one of those sleek socket power bar covers but whatever appliance on the other side wont be able to reach. Im no electrician but i did take electrical in high school and didn't fail lol if we HAVE to move it i could but id rather not. not something im dying to mess around with. I also dont care if its pretty as long as its safer. I attached a pic i found on google that is similar and almost exact https://preview.redd.it/y5m64n7xqs0d1.jpg?width=2134&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a184a606eb0b3cc38221941f5b056e3bae2799a |
2024.05.16 16:14 danyo41 New to Resin Printing - Newbie Tips?
Just picked up the Mars 4 Ultra last week and have been learning the ways of resin printing. I have about 5ish years FDM printing, but this is very different! I'm enjoying everything so far, getting a great spot setup to stay clean and dry. I picked up some foam brushes to wipe the prints with 99% IPA and a few containers and the AnyCubic Wash and Cure 3. Also using a large ultrasonic cleaner with the IPA.
So far, I've only been using the Elegoo water washable resin as I figured water would be easiest to deal with. However, I quickly found that IPA is the winner here - the water wasn't really doing much. I read that IPA should be fine on this resin - but curious if the regular non-water washable stuff performs better? Wondering what you guys have found worked well. I plan to airbrush or paint my prints, so just using ceramic grey - colors not important.
Next question - which is actually what prompted me to make this post - Where can I find good files for free?
So far, i've had 5 absolutely flawless prints and then 1 failed print with a ton of auto supports (chitubox). I actually took a design and edited a few things in tinkercad and added some holes and measurements to my preference. This actually printed really well, I was surprised. However, I'm no pro at CAD, I just do basic shapes and straight lines (jigs, tools, etc...) I know there are so many niche websites for models, but I'm not particularly into war games models. They seem to be 90% of what people are using these things for. I don't personally have a "use case" I just wanted to get into resin printing. My 1 failed print was from thingiverse. All the supports printed around the modeI, but at the end It was just a lump stuck to the vat. Not sure if "regular" STL files are fine to use now?
I am extremely familiar with all the main sites (printables, thingiverse, thangs, cults3d, etc...). I know that models for resin are very particular about supports - so really trying to learn how to determine what is a "good" resin stl. I wish I could filter the main sites by "resin prints" as it seems to be hit or miss whether or not they will perform well. I know some come pre-supported and some are obviously just the object. It seems like auto-supports are just not there yet? Or maybe i'm doing something wrong.
Any tips in regard to files and would be awesome! Thanks again.

2024.05.16 16:05 tangledupinlife Double purge?
This sub has been so helpful to me so thank you to everyone
I recently finished the 72 hour decontamination process ( I did 96hrs) using chlorine granules, checking the levels every 24 hour interval, and did 1 round of ahh-some purge yesterday (it’s been there 24 hours now, I ran the jets on high for an hour yesterday). It didn’t really produce those brown gunk on top of the bubbles/ foam like I see on videos but I did scoop out as much (bubbles/foam) as it was purging. Do you think it’s worth it for me to purge today again using the oh Yuk Healthy Tub Cleaner or should I just drain > brush/wipe the inside and outside with 50:50 cleaning vinegar:water solution > install new filters.. etc?
Thank you!!!!
PS leak in my tub was easily fixed with a patch thanks to everyone!

2024.05.16 16:01 dead_telefone Tap water not safe?
So we have 7 tanks, mostly of bettas but a few have some tetras or mollies When these tanks were first established nearly a year ago everything turned out fine, no sickness or issues But we've noticed a lot more recently after nearly every water change we have a fish die. Two out of six ember tetras in the past week died seemingly out if nowhere in the span of 24 hours, a nearly 40 dollar betta we bought we had to put down due to not being able to recover and being unable to swim.
All of the tanks (all freshwater) had 0 ammonia and 0 nitrites, and either 0 - 5 ppm for nitrates and the tap water comes back safe for ph and ammonia and anything else that would show up on an api master kit but we basically know for a fact the tap water is the cause (we are treating it with api stress coat+ and seachem stability)
I don't want to have to get an RO filter just to have safe water that won't kill our fish but is there any alternatives other than buying aquarium water or large jugs of water from the store?
TL;DR: Tap water is most likely killing our fish, are there any ways to make it safe

All of the tanks (all freshwater) had 0 ammonia and 0 nitrites, and either 0 - 5 ppm for nitrates and the tap water comes back safe for ph and ammonia and anything else that would show up on an api master kit but we basically know for a fact the tap water is the cause (we are treating it with api stress coat+ and seachem stability)
I don't want to have to get an RO filter just to have safe water that won't kill our fish but is there any alternatives other than buying aquarium water or large jugs of water from the store?
