If you just want a 12v pump, how about a marine bilge pump? That's what I've been using for years.

You should occasionally drain the water heater to clear out any sediment. But, if you have a gas water heater and want to replace it with a hybrid or electric? Don't. The recovery time is almost twice that of the gas water heater. How about reducing the flow on the shower? What is the...

Rule out the door. With the door disengaged will the opener run the full length of the track? Sounds more like the encoder is wearing out so it doesn't know the doors position.

I prefer the real nuts as well. I think the reason for the change is theft. A few years ago I need a cover and stopped at HD. The case of covers that was on the shelf had been rifled, all of the bags opened, and the hardware removed.

Have the owners call for service. It's their responsibility.

Maybe post some pics of both panels. Measure the voltages as well.

I'm using a Kasa HS200 smart switch, no hub needed. It's limited to about 5 amps but I'm using LED bulbs so not an issue. It's just on-off. They do make a version that will dim too. My run is about 60 feet. Works great, even when it's -10 out. My neighbor also has the same, about 80 feet...

What kind of piping is used? Pex, copper, galvanized?

I've had one in my attached garage for years. They've never gone off that I can recall.

By Code, pretty much ALL replacements have to be tamper resistant. It was a requirement since 2014 in most places. You can't "grandfather" it either. NEC 406.4(D)(5). Check with your AHJ.

Convert the generator to propane or natural gas. No more carb problems.

Your question is best answered by the local AHJ. The correct answer depends upon what year of the National Electric Code you are under. But in recent years, the NEC has required that replacement receptacles be tamper resistant depending upon where it is located. Your 2 prong receptacles...

I agree. Nobody uses dip switches to set codes anymore. They all "roll" to prevent someone from hacking. Are the receivers internal to the opener or are they external? If external, you may be able to update them.

4 wires with 2 hots? Sounds like an MWBC - multi wire branch circuit. You should be able to run 2 15 amp 120 volt circuits. You don't need a subpanel for that. You could also set it up for 30 amp 240 volts but you'd then need a subpanel for your lighting and branch circuits. Check the...

I've used them to power a laptop, charge some camera batteries, etc. 300w isn't a lot of power but you could run a bunch of LED lights.

I have an interlock. It is the way to go as you can select any or all circuits. Not all localities permit them.

This one: It's battery powered and doesn't need a neutral. They say 3 year battery life, I'm going on 5+. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Intermatic-15-Amp-7-Day-Indoor-In-Wall-Astronomic-Digital-Timer-White-ST01K/205478792#product-overview

A relay is basically just an electrically operated switch. A small control voltage can switch a much larger output. Your 5x840's are available. It's a 24 volt relay, 3 poles, double throw. Just watch the contact ratings.

I also am using TP-Link powerline adapters to my shed located about 75' from the house/garage. They pair at almost 700 mbps. I did use wifi prior but found that it was unreliable in severe weather.

Another vote for EMT. It doesn't take that long to learn how to bend.
