PSA since talking power outage. Here's something that may be useful info which I didn't realize until recently. Like most homes in OK, we have a water softener. It's just my wife and I so we don't use as much as a family with 4. Our water softener setting was based on usage. Recently I noticed the salt was going down must faster than normal. Well, we had a long lasting power outage so the softener reverted to the default setting. Had a tech come out and he set the defaults to our current setting so this won't happen again.

Power is back on, Cox is not.

My kholer ats didn’t work but I manually started the generator , disconnected the meter(via 200 amp switch I had installed when the ats was installed) and switches the ats manually. That worked fine but I guess I need to have the ats checked.

Just out of curiosity how old is your system? Reason I ask is that is one main reason I pushed my mom towards a Generac whole house system. Kohler's generators are pretty comparable to Generac (or they were then), but their ATS sucked. I read a ton of people posting horrible reviews about the ATS.

Mom's Generac smart switch has been rock solid so far and it's been awhile. Several years past warranty. :thumb:
