I used to be the biggest GOT hater after what happened in season 8 but after 7 years, I have rewatched the whole show and honestly it’s truly the greatest show of all time. Idgaf, the journey is more fun and important than the destination and I had a hell of a time rewatching it!
I used to think the show was ruined for good just because the payoff wasn’t the best but honestly when rewatching, even though I knew how it ended, every episode and season was euphoric, I wasn’t even mad when watching season 8. I just accepted it for what it was and gladly watched it. Also I think we are too hard on D&D, at the end of the day they still gave us GoT so whatever. And lastly, Season 8 wasn’t all bad, it had good moments. It is what it is. I said what I said.

Pool heat pump freezes up when "off"
This was my pool heat pump after being at "off" (braker still on, but machine turned off) for 4 days. It constantly does this, even when it’s very hot outside. When I turn it on, it does the defrost correctly, but last year, it stayed at "off" for like 2 weeks and it froze the whole thing. The fan couldn’t move, because there was too much ice. I had to remove the ice myself.
Is it normal for the heat pump to freeze when at off for multiple days? It seems like the machine constantly generates cold air when at off, so if there’s water, it freezes.
It’s a Nirvana NE55 for an 18’ above ground pool.
I guess I did the rookie mistake on my first pool opening ever: reversed the pipes on sand filter. How bad did I mess up?
I bought this pool last year, so this summer was my first opening. I did it on my own, and messed it up lol. Put the pump pipe into the return and the return into the pump. I ran the filter in filtration mode like this for a week before fixing it. Then, I started a backwash for like 3 minutes, it went well. The water became clean in the little observation glass. But then, I ran the rinse mode and a lot of filtering glasses are exiting through the waste. Is it normal? Is it cleaning the pipes or am I getting all my filtering glasses out?
