Subject: Re: 27 SEPTEMBER by Matatk on 2018/9/28 1:04:32 Doggie has an unknown stomach/intestine blockage. Not complete and the vet said to watch him, fluids, and a bland diet. He's back to eating today which is a start but still won't go poop. Hopefully he passes whatever is ailing him. He was in a lot of pain yesterday, but that seems to have diminished quite a bit. Here's a tip for you guys: Did you know sump pump motors have something called dielectric oil in them? I didn't. Guess how I found out....I use a sump pump to drain the pool faster. Tried it today and kept blowing the GFCI. So I noticed the intake grate was covered solid from old leaves. Decided to take it apart and clean it. During disassembly this oily water type liquid poured out. Started researching it...it's to cool and lubricate the motor. Of course it's a pain in the ass to find replacement oil and you aren't supposed to use other types of oil (including mineral oil) due to the conductive properties ... Apparently vegetable oil is an acceptable substitute. So guess what I'll be using. We'll see how it goes since I only use it a few times a year anyway. Hope everyone has a great day! |
