Need HD co-ax set up answers, please.

I am changing the Dish Newtwork satellite dish in my stick built house, having temporarily used my RV dish 500 with my 625 dual tuner reeceiver.
Now replacing with a Turbo dish 1000.2 which is capable of HD reception as well as SD. Temporarily shall still use the 625 SD receiver in the bedroom.
The thought is that this Christmas I will add an HD set for the living room so might as well get the dish set up for it now.
I have 2 questions:
1. Must I use RG-6 "rated 950 to 2150 MHZ or Swept to 2150 MHZ" as the instructions caution. I've been using Home Depot "Swept to 36HGZ 002 ft - whatever that means.
2. How many co-ax cables need I run from the LNB to my interior to continue to run my present dual tuner SD box (which will be later upgraded to a HD/SD 722 HD box) and in addition the 129 degree HD output on the LNB ??? I know one co-ax will carry both the 110 and 119 bird but will it carry the 129 bird too, or is this an entirely separate line ???

Hpw does a Coleman dual water source to 1 faucet work ???

My nephew just purchased a Coleman pop up trailer, Santa Fe model, I believe that was built in 2003.
He has discovered the water system has some problems. The "wobble pump" that manually sucks the onboard water from a jeep can like container appears to have no valve in the 1/4" line and goes directly into the faucet-pump conbination. No water flows.
Also there is a regular hose fitting into the same faucet from the trailer's outside that supplies campground water when hooked up.
Since we live 1,000 miles apart, I can't get an exact fix on what could be wrong when the "wobble pump" doesn't pump and is there an explanation for onboard and outside water supply coming thru the same faucet?.
Would anyone familiar with this system and/or knows a good parts supplier please share their knowledge with us.

RE: Water King USA Water Softener

While living in Lake Havasu City, Az. (Colorado River) hated the hard water
Installed big capacity salt unit for the house but never found a suitable small trailer unit. However, I agree with Clay L that the so called "ionizing" units operating on 120 v. do nothing.
My son builds commercial big detailing trailers, sometimes with multible spray pressure units, huge ionizers, hot water tanks, etc that operate on 120 v., diesel and gasoline.
He used to supply the small salt units on demand but had so many take backs that he quit using them.
And don't drink the salted water. Get a PUR for the faucet. I ran my evap cooler on soft water and after a month the inside looked like the state of Alaska with salt icicles hanging all over the inside.

RE: Security "head" bolts for Yamaha 2400

No self respecting pawn shop would accept it with a cut off handle,
Cutting the handle would curtail the theirs ability to sell it.
He would have to have a personal use for it
Except that it's not a big job to order new handles directly from Yamaha - or Honda.
