NS Oscar ? The Beginnning
Order in, one scace, one omega, one pressure gauge. I should begin testing/evaluating next week. If anyone has Oscar improvement tips I?m wide open.
Current thoughts: vacuum breaker, gauges, pressure dial in, pid.
What will really get done? That?s yet to see. First I want to know what this thing has been delivering for the past year cause it was right on. Then I need to be educated in the way of the plumber and try not to destroy this thing. After a few weeks of reading I don?t feel its as daunting as it is just chewing through some new knowledge and applying it carefully. I?ll need some community help for sure.

Crucial Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Home Improvement Tips
Article by Bill McCowen
With an ever-expanding network of home improvement television shows and DIY magazines, the do-it-yourself home improvement sector has taken off. Homeowners everywhere are rushing to their local hardware stores, ready to rip out their bathroom tile or tear down old kitchen cupboards.
As excited as you may be to get started on your first DIY home improvement project, there are a few considerations you should first take into account. You need to plan, understand your project, budget, and be aware of your space. To learn more about these basic, but crucial, DIY home improvement tips, keep reading.
1. Plan, Plan, Plan
Before you even begin a DIY home improvement project, you should have a full plan in place. And prior to making that drive to the home hardware store, put together a folder with all your measurements and a complete list of everything you intend to buy, right down to the last nail.
People get excited about projects and don?t want to get right to it instead of ?wasting? time planning. However, by planning you?ll make fewer mistakes, be less likely to waste materials and time, and muchmore likely to stay on budget. In the end, you?ll be glad you did!
2. Budget
Along with planning, comes budgeting. As you plan the details of your project, keep a running tally of the expense for each material. If you don?t know how much something costs, check the Internet or call your local retailer to obtain a price ahead of time.
Once you have your budget, add 10-20% extra. Almost every home renovation project, DIY or not, runs up against unexpected expenses ? it?s just a reality of life?s uncertainties. Whether it is materials that cost more than you expect or a surprise problem that needs to get fixed, you?ll need to have the money ready to take care of it. Every good DIY?er knows to have a little extra on hand.
3. Understand Your Project
Before you attempt to tackle a major home improvement project, make sure you know what you?re doing. Use resources like books, your local hardware clerk, the Internet and how-to videos to get a good grasp on the project you will be undertaking.
If you feel like the project is out of your league, don?t hesitate to call in a professional.
4. Know Your Space
This tip is related to planning, but make sure you have enough space to take on your project. Don?t try to fit a new island in your kitchen if there isn?t sufficient room for it. Try to live by the old carpenter?s adage of ?measure twice, cut once.?

So long as you have some handyman skills, I think DIY home improvement is the way to go, so long as you have a good idea of what you are doing. I would also advise leaving things like the plumbing and electrical stuff to professionals.
