Smiley's Salt System

14, wow, that's pretty high. If you have a mitigation system, I do recommend trying to get the whole floor sealed. The system installers don't always talk about that, but we had one in our old house...lots of cracks in our basement floor...created really bad negative pressure issue in our house (such as, our wood burning fireplace smoke would fill up the living room versus go out the chimney so we couldn't use it). I don't think 2 makes much health impact, that's lower than most granite countertop radon emissions. The best thing anyone can do about lower radon levels is open windows for 20 minutes every few weeks. Or drink your skimmer cup, I hear that increases radioactive tolerance.
skimmer juice.... yummm!
they just cut a hole in my floor, put some 6" pipe in, sealed it with caulk, and ran an inline fan up to the edge of my roof. Im caulking the rest of the edges now and tomorrow going to work on painting more walls. ill probably start working on the floors in a couple days.
doing all this work has got me looking at how to do my dining room tank. Im getting anxious.

Got a bunch of things done, figured i would do an update.
I finished painting the walls, as well as the rest of the basement. I changed my mind on how I wanted to do things since bigger and better projects are in my future. To start off, I wanted to be sure I was able to do water changes easily, so I installed a drain system into the existing kitchen sink drain. I should be able to turn a valve and drain my system into the house drain.

I also didnt want to have to use buckets or a siphon hose to fill my tank back up so I installed a water mixing station and plumbed it into my sump. This will allow me to turn a valve and fill my tank with premixed water.

This should save me time and chance of spilling water throughout the house.

About 3 days ago, i added about 2 inches of sand that had been rinsed with ro numerous times and then frozen at least 4 times. I also dosed some Bactiv8 and let it run. I installed my Apex Lite and got my heaters installed. Yesterday I added a container of Fiji Mud. They claim on the jar is should be clear by the next day....... boy were they wrong! The only thing running right now is the return pump and heaters. Figured I would let it run for a week or so and then add a couple pounds of rock.

I love the fact that it is the first thing you see as you walk into the shop.
