What is the red wire on a light switch?
The red wire on a light switch is typically a traveler wire used in a three-way switch configuration. In a three-way switch setup, two switches control the same light fixture, and the red wire connects the switches. The red wire is usually connected to the traveler terminal on the switch, typically a screw that is a different color than the other terminals. The other two wires on the switch are typically the hot (black) wire and the neutral (white) wire. It's essential to remember that a light switch's wiring layout may vary depending on your home's age and local electrical codes. If you are uncertain about the wiring in your light switch, it is always smart to seek advice from an authorized electrician so that the connections abide by safety protocols and meet all code requirements.

Will A Water Softener Harm My Septic System?
While there have been concerns over a water softener’s impact on septic systems – such as killing the bacteria in the septic tank with salt, overflowing tanks with too much backwash flow and reducing the drainage field’s ability to absorb water modern treatment systems have reduced these risks considerably. Today's units minimize salt consumption and it has been found to have no harmful effects on bacteria and the soil of the drainage field if properly sized. Insuring your equipment does not regenerate the softener not more than once a week will reduce the amount of backwash entering the septic system and maintain a health septic bed.
What are antimicrobial chemicals and why would they need to be used?
Antimicrobial chemicals are applied by some companies to the interior surface of the air ducts to treat microbial contamination such as fungi (mold), viruses or bacteria. Before any antimicrobial chemicals are used, the system should be thoroughly cleaned. It is critical that any antimicrobial treatment used in your system be registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency specifically for use in HVAC systems.
