Looks like filter sand material

Nope looks like dirt
Nope Looks like what Sue said
Nope looks like something that shouldn't be in there..
Yeup that's it.

 

Yea
But I haven’t seen a gravel filter in system. I’m wondering if it’s hard water/chemical fallout

 

That looks to even to be chemical or scale ,,,,,weird

 

That’s awesome that you’re able to help.

 

Poor thing! Hopefully she’s getting extra treats.

 

Dry as a bone

 

diggin Quartz?

 

I thought it was raining there!!, looks like a fun outing by how many people are there !!

Next time you're up that way with the scouts take them up to Jedi loop /star wars canyon to watch the fighter jets play thru the canyons

 

Refractory material?

 

At first was going to say no. Then remembered back in the late 70's they put in an experimental deionization bed on one of the plants for the feed water. That looks a lot like the crap that would keep leaking into the boiler after awhile, sometimes the pellets would make it in too but they were always consistently round. We finally got rid of the damn thing thank goodness.

That would be my guess too. Because we did surface blows nightly when treating with TSP\DSP and bottom blows often didn't often see anything until we tore them apart usually for punching tubes.

 

Did yah taste it?

 

Mashed the heck out of my finger today. Thinking that nail ain't going to make it....hate when that happens. Worst part is I did it all myself.

 

We would draw oil samples nightly from all equipment and let them sit to see if any water separated out. If it did then you had to determine if it was from the feed\condensate side, or saltwater side. There is one way for sure to determine it. But they both taste oily LOL.

 

Nah

 

Thanks
Yea it gets potable water from the city. I need to put a meter on the system.

 

Trust me
It’s better if you did it to yourself
Others don’t find it as funny

 

Idk
Have to order gaskets before I open it up. It has at least 2 bad tubes

 

Why do I bother.

Kid pushes in a no start.
Checked codes.
Map , coolant correlation .
Scan check.
Stone cold engine reading 165 degrees.
That’s your problem.
Doesn’t like my answer I guess.
Runs to the Forman.
He comes down.
Fuel check
Pressure check
Check plugs
Fiddle this fiddle that.
Won’t start.. no shit.
I Tell him again it thinks it’s warm.
It’s lean...
Forman says it should still start.

Now I’m pissed.
I grab a can of ether..

Pull the air filter cover.
I yell crank it and don’t touch anything.
Crank and ether and it starts and runs real slow.
So by short burst it runs. Not like a no start.
So after about 30 seconds I stop.
Engine keeps running
I walk away and throw the can back in my tool box and start working on my car with 3 people with blank expressions on their faces looking at me.

I really hate being asked for help and not doing what I say..
It just gets more frustrating.......
Ok rant over.

 

We had a sand type media filter in our CA home. The well had a lot of sediment. Tank was almost as tall as me and 3/4 filled with the media.

 

Thanks for reminding me...I need to put salt in the softener
