Was without a phone for a day and a half not very nice.. tried dealing with insurance waste of time just went to store and got a new one.. these things don't seem to like to swim in the saltwater...
Made that mistake with a regular watch about 50 years ago - so saved up and bought a 'dive watch' - got me wondering if they make 'dive phones' these days? - probably best to have - if you don't want to miss a call at 40 meters deep ☆ - never seen an underwater cell-tower anyway - lol

I'm waiting on some water to boil this morning. I'm thinking about 2-3 more hours.

I'm boiling up almost 4 gallons of water to sterilize about 3-3.5 gallons (volume of total space) of hydroton, so (/before) I can re-use it.

Had to do some trimming this morning, hate to spend Saturday morning trimming after a hard week at work. I don’t hate being paid though 😉

No. Just H2O

It's heat sterilization... or rather Pasteurization.

Its used in other types of applications for this or that... Or things like sterilizing/pasteurization straw for growing mushrooms.

The boiling water also disolves any salts and other mineral build up from the surface of the hydroton.
