Fob not detected

Hi!

I have a 2022 latitude lux 4x4 with 19,000 miles. New batteries in both fobs. In the past few months, I’ve had a few times where I get back in the vehicle after pumping gas, and the car won’t start. Says fob not detected but it’ll literally be in my hand.

Happened next to a grand owner and he told me to put the end of the fob up against the ignition button. Tried that and it worked. Off I drove. Never thought about it.

It’s been happening again and now, I can’t seem to turn it back on. It eventually works, but wtf???

Weight distribution system

Hi friends.

We have a 2021 Jayco 224 bhs. 5600 lbs loaded. The dealer installed an e4 equalizer rated for either 8000-10,000 lbs. The next size down was too small.

Everything’s been fine so far with the WDH but we’re starting to rust out. Penetrating oil can only do so much.

Any recommendations for a new WDH? Preferably WDH and sway bars all together.

Inkcarceration 2026

Anyone going on Saturday for the show? Going alone so a bit nervous, lol. Been to precious ink festivals in the past.

Any idea on recent set lists? I’m a weirdo that likes to make playlists for the drive haha.

Update on numbers

Update on #s from yesterday

Update from yesterday. 20 ft pool, 11,000 gallons. Cartridge filter (2x, clean and swap every few hours).

Shocked again last night with liquid chlorine. Cleaned the filter and put a new skimmer sock on. Skimmed the top as best I could.

Heavy rain overnight so expected the worst. This morning the jet had the tiniest bit of flow, skimmer sock had gray chunks but not a ton. No progress on the milky blue color and still can’t see the bottom.

Had my levels checked this morning:

Alkalinity: 100
Ph: 7.1
Tc: 9.6
Fc: 9.5
Cc: 0
Hardness: 175
Cya: 0

June 12th numbers at opening for reference:

Alkalinity: 40
Ph: 7.5
Tc: 0
Fc: 0
Cc: 0
Hardness: 75
Cya: 0

So it seems I’m moving in the right direction. Chlorine seems to have held high overnight. Bought a better vac hose and a hose, so I’m going to try and backwash to waste. Learned more about my filter setup 😀

Thoughts on this? Pool store recommended to floc at this point to speed things up. They said to get a product called revive, but they don’t carry it.

Help! Opening

Please help - cloudy

Hello!

Can’t seem to clear this pool. Started from swamp. It’s blue and milky, can’t see the bottom to vacuum yet.

Gray chunks float to the top. Skimmer not catching them, cartridge is. Chokes every 4-5 hours. Have 2 we clean and swap. Carts come out slimey but no chunks. Now using a skimmer sock.

Was shocking with hth, but heard it has too much stabilizer or something. Switched to slamming with liquid chlorine. PH is within normal limits. Had water tested at pool store as well as my own liquid kit. Chlorine stays higher than 5 overnight.

Thoughts? Should we just keep filtering? I’m at a loss this year.
