Those of you who bought your Bronco with 2 tops, which top was installed and how did you receive the 2nd top?

In anticipation of Hurricane Florence stealing my electricity, I'm probably going to have to un-box my generator and use it for the first time... First a short description of my generator: It's a gas powered generator with 4000 Starting watts and 3400 Running watts. I'll [probably] only be using the two 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp receptacles on the generator but it also has a 120 Volt AC, 30 Amp twist-lock receptacle. It does have a grounding terminal on the power panel.

Questions:

Do I need to ground the generator to power my fridge?

How much stuff can a 3400 watt generator handle at one time? I know it won't handle a lot...I'm mainly interested in my refrigerator, maybe a coffee maker and

Stepdaughter's car A/C clutch is engaged constantly. It also can't be moved freely by hand. This came on right after an engine change...may or may not be relevant. Anyway, there's no cold air. Can this be something simpler than a bad clutch or compressor?

I have a 14,000 gallon above ground pool with a sand filter, 2 speed motor, etc....does anyone here shock or otherwise add chemicals through the skimmer? Seems to me the end result would be the same as broadcasting powders and granules over the surface, no?

13,5k gallon above ground pool turned army green. Had the water tested. Total Alkalinity was high so I used Ph down...12 pounds of it. Next I shocked with 2-1lb. bags of Robarb Power Blast. Green turned to blue and cloudy within a few hours and remains so.

What could cause it to stay cloudy?

Update: Well I shocked shocked and shocked over and over, got my Ph/all chemicals in control, added 2 bottles of clarifier and am now finally seeing results. Dead algae is clumped together...small clumps...but the filter is getting it and we're backwashing a couple times a day. Seems to be working.

How do I tell which generation of dots I have?

Has anyone else besides me, used "Storyline" to create Alexa skills? I did a search on this sub and saw no mention of it.

I have a low dollar PA system which sounds pretty good but doesn't have enough bass. My remedy for this right now is to go from the "record out" RCA jacks on the PA controller to an amplifier RCA input then out to 2 floor-standing speakers. I get tons of good sound from this setup but it's a lot to carry to a party or gig.

I recently gained possession to a Kenwood powered subwoofer from a home theater system. It has RCA inputs on the back.

Can I connect the subwoofer to the PA system's "record out" RCA jacks the same way I do the amplifier/floor-standing speaker system? All the ohms (4) match up btw. I'm not looking for "audiophile quality" since I'm entertaining drunks usually. I ju

I was just reading old threads about pool heating options and it made me wonder if it was possible to re-purpose old hot tub guts, (pump and heater), to raise the temperature in a pool...mainly to keep it above freezing in the winter. I'm completely unfamiliar with hot tub guts but It seems like you could plumb something inline with the existing pool plumbing. Anyone?
