Pureflow Pak don't fit

[Maggie and Jeff]

After having shoved a pak in and priming then finding out the control unit was new to me but broken all the same I had one heck of a time getting that pak back out.  Better to pull the foam out if you use one of these "chubby paks".

So you can use your pureflow again 

One of my last calls tech said "So your saying you can't force the pak in"
Me "No, I can't force the pak in but I can take it apart and remove the foam"
tech  " I'll send you 3 more I can't advise you to take apart the pak"
me "What ever you want to do.  I call you back when they don't fix."

Next day I get a call and am told it is OK to pull the foam out and since I did that they don't want to send me any more replacement paks.

In my conversation on the phone with management I explained how some of us had been taking the Paks apart and pulling out the foam. I think that made them realize it was something we could do fairly easily. So you can blame me for the change in tactics.

If anyone blames you they can blame me to cause I also told them.

No need to blame any of the many messengers. Another way to look at it is to wonder why we on this side of the equation are the ones telling them what the problem is and how to fix it.

Now to fix the next problem. How to stop them from sending me cases of bags. At first I was running short, now I am running out of room to stack them.

Make the madness stop!

So we couldn't get PAK's no matter how hard we tried, now I have them out the wazoo. They did send me two old ones and that was dandy.  I didn't measure them, but why were old, so they should be fine. We'll, I just got another two. These are lot 4047, so completely new. I will measure them to be sure. But I have 4 PAK's which should last me till next year.

So if that weren't enough, almost every day I am getting eight to 10 cases of bags too. The UPS driver just shook his head today. He asked if this was normal, and I had no reply.

You can use them for fertilizer. Green up the planet with Nxstage.
I am back to using the used dialysate for my fruit trees. I had my best crop ever last year with the dialysate for fertilizer.

[Speedy1wrc]

Seriously?

[Maggie and Jeff]

It does make good fertilizer my tomatoes love it.  Just don't over do it.

We use a gray water line for the used dialysate and the grass grows really fast all around it but theres a strip of dirt were the main flow is.

I posted all about it last summer. I had incredible amounts of peaches (our nephrologist calls them pee-ches) and apples las summer. I have 19 fruit trees.
I dump buckets of dialysate around the trees all summer . It is full of nitrogen and other goodies.
