Not Culligan! bought a house two years ago with a Culligan softener. Not impressed. Home Depot and Lowe’s both carry softeners. You can use either salt or magnesium but magnesium is very expensive. Really suggest talking with some local plumbers and or hardware stores to pick their brains about what works best in their area.

I just had this installed at a house that I manage not too long ago. I manage one house with a culligan system and it is a salt hog. The Evolve system is very efficient with salt. With 8 bathrooms, the salt barrel only needs to be filled 3-4 times a year.

I probably should a softener system on my house. All my faucets and fixtures in my house are trashed from hard water.
I did recently put a deionized water filter setup for cleaning my cars tho. Unreal how much easier and better the cars are when washed/rinshed with DI’ed water.

I’m planning to add one eventually as well. It’s crazy how much better the water feels. These systems have bypasses as well if you need to water plants.

My old house had a water softener and if I used the hose bib off the softener I could basically wash my cars and let them dry in the sun and have no spots. I'd just use my leaf blower to dry them.

Yea it’s wild. Not needing to rush or be worried about being in the sun to dry is so nice.

Yeah making sure to dry the sunny side now and working my way around sucks. It's funny all of this comes with age too...haha.

That sounds like acid!

There is always the possibility of rainwater collection (into a big tank). Unless you are in an "acid rain" area, nothing should be better than that for washing your car!

Just pickup up a new one as well.

No kidding, lol. I think it's just the heat over time. That broken part is likely brittle plastic as we found it hanging one day randomly.

We have a very tall digger pine in my backyard. We love having it but it’s getting too tall and the growth pattern is a big problem for liability reasons. So, unfortunately, Ol’Digger is coming down.

That looks like the pine in my neighbor's yard that's between our homes, but it leans toward my house.We have a very tall digger pine in my backyard.

The bottom 3/4 of the limbs are dead and have been falling off mostly on my yard but a good soaking rain and wind I'm afraid will topple it on top of my house...
I would like to buy a 392

Had to do a little maintenance on the push mower.
A little helpful hint if you have a self propelled push mower, it is belt driven, the pulleys can and do get plugged with grass. Take it apart and clean the pulleys out and off. Mine is a rear drive, 21" belt, drive pulley on main shaft, idler pulley, then pulley on the "transmission".
