FAQ Content

In this video I cover how I protect myself from the Sun’s UV rays and from the chemicals on my pool route. Protecting yourself from the Sun is important since Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer. More than 4 million cases are diagnosed in the U.S. each year. Besides that almost all of the chemicals used in the industry are classified as carcinogens.

The main way I protect myself from the Sun is to stay covered up. I wear only long pants and long sleeve shirts which I roll up only exposing about 10 inches of my arm. This is the part that is going into the water so it is easier to just leave it uncovered. I wear collared shirts to help protect my neck and a wide brim straw hat to cover my face. I then apply SPF 50 baby sun tan lotion on the exposed areas, my arms, face and neck. I prefer the baby version because it goes on thick and is visible until it starts to wear out. It doesn’t look pretty, but it is effective. So no shorts, tank tops and the like. Covering up from the Sun is crucial. And yes I get hot out there but sweating it is better than Cancer.

I also wear Nitrile coated work gloves that also protect my hands from the Sun and from the toxic chemicals I touch each day. They are affordable and are long lasting. Plus they are comfortable and do not hinder my daily work activities. You can learn more from this video I filmed on them:

I mention that I wear knee pads on my pol route. I am not sure how guys can do it without them. I am on my knees constantly and without the knee pads I think I would be retired by now. They are a must out there. Here are the ones I use:

You must protect your eyes or you will develop cataracts. The Sun is very damaging to your eyes and I wear sunglasses even on cloudy days. The best ones for your eyes are the ones that are polarized. They are 400 UV protection and as a side benefit they also cut down on the glare from the pool surface, making seeing the bottom of the pool very easy and clear. Here are the ones I use – make sure you order the mirrored lens type:

The D.E. Filter media that is used to recharge the pool filters is considered an industrial carcinogen. Which means if you use it regularly like we do, and get large amounts in your lungs over years of exposure – you can develop lung issues including cancer. It says it right on the label. So I don’t use the stuff now without a full face gas mask like the 3M one I show here. I did film it but don’t have a vidoe ready yet.

You can order it here- it is around $140.00:

Basically you want to do everything you can to protect yourself from the Sun and chemicals out in the field all day. Wearing clothes that covers most of your body, gloves and a mask when adding D.E. Are just some of the ways to stay safe out there.

Video tutorial on how to diagnose and repair the blend door actuator on a Ford Ranger. The two main issues with a failing blend door actuator is when you adjust the interior temperature on the hvac control panel, you will either hear a clicking sound or the temperature will be stuck on either hot, cold, or won’t adjust the cabin temperature. If you catch the issue in the right time, then it is repairable and you don’t need to buy a replacement actuator. This particular vehicle I am working with is a 1998 Ford Ranger, but a similar procedure may also apply to Mazda B series models as well.

Tools/Supplies Needed:
-grease
-cloth
-contact cleaner
-blend door actuator
-gear replacement
-multimeter
-standard/flat screwdriver

Procedure:
-as mentioned above the two main issues is you will either hear a clicking sound in the dash when adjusting the temperature or the temperature can’t be adjusted
-it is located behind the glove box
-remove the contents of the glove box, then bend the sides in and pull down
-this will expose the main duct and the blend door actuator is either a white or black box, this will depend if it’s been replaced before or not and is located on the top
-remove the electrical connector, simply depress the tab and pull out
-the electrical connector can be both back probed using a multimeter when in place or disconnected to test the controller circuit
-wiring may vary between the years so check a wiring diagram specific to your vehicle
-the pinout diagram will say which pin location connects to what part of the circuit
-turn the ignition in the run position
-using a multimeter on the lowest DC voltage setting, check to ensure if there is power at the circuit, along with a sufficient ground
-now setting the multimeter to the lowest ohms setting, we will measure the resistance of the potentiometer in the hvac control panel
-values will vary depending on what your cabin temperature is set at
-if it fails any parts of the test, then there is an issue with the hvac control panel or the wiring
-we can simply remove the actuator and inspect if it’s functioning correctly
-to remove it, simply depress the two tabs on the front and use a standard screwdriver to pop it up
-use the assistance of a standard screwdriver to disconnect the actuator
-another issue is that the shaft can break, either on the unit or on the door within the duct
-if the door has broken within the duct, then the duct will need to be disassembled for replacement
-plug the actuator back into the electrical connector, turn the ignition in the run position and test
-rotate the air temperature control and watch to see if the shaft rotates
-it doesn’t have a large amount of movement and won’t move fast either
-using a smaller standard screwdriver, slowly pop the tabs around the outside
-try to hold it apart so it doesn’t clip closed again
-remove the cap and then everything will be exposed inside
-wipe off any old lubricant
-I used a paint marker just to align the gears to make it easier for reassembly
-then remove the gears and continue to clean off the old lubricant
-inspect gears for any damage
-the small gear driven by the motor, I have seen a replacement on Ebay if yours needs to be replaced and it’s much cheaper than buying a new replacement unit
-clean the potentiometer with electronic contact clean and a clean rag
-do not contaminate this area with any oil or grease and inspect for any damage
-ensure the contacts on the shaft gear which run against the potentiometer is cleaner and make sure they ride correctly on the swipe area
-apply lithium grease to the gears and shafts they ride on
-reassemble the gears, lining everything back up and ensure the case is snapped back together
-test to make sure it is working correctly
-for reinstalling the actuator back onto the duct, if you have moved it, then that’s not an issue
-connect the electrical connector, turn the ignition on and then slowly rotate temperature selector, eventually the actuator will fall into it’s slot, then snap the unit back into place
-test again
-push the glovebox back into place by pulling in the sides again
