There were two existing receptacles in the bathroom, when this outlet and GFI were added. There was no GFI here before. Not sure why.

Just one, but it’s under cover on our porch. I do need to replace it, but there’s nothing plugged into it and I don’t see any moisture or debris.

Well…it’s baaack… That same bathroom GFI keeps tripping. I reset it and it’s good for a day or so, then trips. I can’t think of anything that’s plugged in that would turn on randomly. Since the GFI resets, will a test light still be effective to diagnose?

where were you 20 minutes ago...HAHA. Truth is, I NEVER thought these were on the same circuit as the one outlet in the garage. 8 years ago I started to map and log these circuits, but a squirrel ran by...

I had, but you nailed it the first time. When the breaker trick didn't work, I said, follow the water... On the upside, my wife is hot, so she doesn't require a lot of "prep" to go to work in the morning. However, it also means that she never noticed the Master Bathroom outlets were all dead...

Soo...I removed the GFI, but those wires are dead as well. The search continues

Yes. I have a bench light and I have a bench, with built-in outlets, all of which plugs into the outlet. However, I discovered a dead outside outlet...apparently these two outlets are also tied to...my powder room. And damn, that GFI is dead and won't reset, so my guess is that's the culprit...

30 year old house. Last night, we had a couple brownouts, then a blackout for 2 hours. I went to the garage and one of the outlets is dead, but not the others. I'm fairly certain they're all on the same 15AMP breaker. No breakers were tripped I turn the garage breaker off and on just for...

Appreciate the info. I had read that last week about the EPA. Crazy. HD had a $100 digital tester that got a lot of good reviews, so I placed it in the closet. Curious to see what comes of that before we leave, then after we return in 6 days.

I'm freaking out a bit here. We have radon mitigation fan drawing from under the foundation, numbers have always been in check and I replaced that fan last year. Our softener tanks are in the basement, in a sliding door closet. The basement is finished, so it gets weekend use. If the...

So the combination of a carbon / resin filter should do it. It's very possible we weren't getting iron when the resin filter was newer, and working. Man 2017...I just can't believe it's been so long and obviously iron could have crept is as the resin wore down. Needing the carbon, I don't...

I might still have my pool kit. He said with city water, it's usually the Chlorine that wears out the resin the most Thanks guys. I thought about that, but it doesn't solve the need for a carbon filter. Not sure why/if we decided against that in 2013. Maybe we thought the separate...

The original installer of the softener came by today. The unit is 11 years old and he's recommending replacement, mostly because this unit doesn't have a carbon filter section. The unit he'll recommend will have resin and carbon. He said the Hardness of 12, then measured to 1, was likely a...

I read it correctly. I was just joking that the list can drag on longer than either of us expected!

Be careful. We installed a softener and put the filter "on the list". That was 7years ago :oops: We were drowning the basement remodel, tankless heater and new HVAC installation, so **** was adding up quick.

Honestly, I'm not really concerned with the orange, because water has to sit for it to occur, though the shower stall floor does stain if we won't squeegee the water down (yes, the pitch is probably not steep enough). My overall thought on the orange was, I don't want to spend $3,000 and...

He might mean, why can't I find somewhere closer. My county sent me to the state, but I have the original installer coming tomorrow, at no charge. They say they'll "test", but I'm going to press him and see what comes of it

I ended up with the PA DEP and their kit is $10, but only looking for bacteria - so well water testing. They provided me regional test sites, but so far, they're only local water companies???? Odd. I'll keep chasing

Ugh...my call was a dead end, because they only test well water. I'm in Montgomery County

I just found it for PA and my county office. I'm calling them now. I'll update as I go. Thank you both!
