Got the EBC redstuff pads swapped in today.. so far feels great! Took the edge off of the grabby OEM pad feel. is more linear but still progressive / the harder I pushed , the harder they bite.. and any improvement in dusting for me is a win.
10/10 would recommend for a daily driver.
I'm a DIYer.. Moved to a house built in the 40s that has a lot of galvanized pipes on the front irrigation that im trying to replace due to leaks..
I was planning to replace my irrigation valves and run new PVC to the various zones.. but as i kept digging I discovered the main feed is also galvanized converts to copper, and has an old ball valve with a missing handle. The galvanized is very rusted.. and i have no idea where it is routed from. So replacing that is well above my level. I’m a little nervous trying to mess with the galvanized since it’s so old im afraid it could crack.. I was thinking of just cutting after the shut off valve (leaving it open) and adding a new shut off and continue from there.
Not sure how I can deal with this.
How would you more experienced fellas handle this? Thanks!

Any ideas?
I’d like to remove these filters and install a spin down filter -> carbon filter -> softener (salt based)
Any reason I can’t cut the copper at the red marks and use a sharkbite to pex or even the flexible corrugated hoses to connect in/out to the house?
I have never soldered copper before and could certainly learn how but sharkbite to pex seemed more straight forward.
Thanks in advance.
