A couple questions: 1. Seeing as I have the main house, the cottage and a couple rooms in our current house (which we're keeping) to paint, any thoughts on HVLP sprayers? Do they live up to the hype?

Like others have said, shop vac. I'd like to add: HD and I'm sure other such places sell mini vacs that fit on top of a 5 gallon bucket for about $20. Get one of these and 4 buckets. One person vacuu

Since the PO put the softener in, he must have had a reason. I have one to remove iron/manganese. I'm guessing someone either bypassed it or it needs salt/regen. Peter T.

Makes sense, I don't get an immediate P0303, but fairly quickly. It's your friend but not mine. :-( All I could find was various combinations of P030x and P0316 but nothing specific about P0316. None
