The pool heater started faltering weds. It dropped to 83 from a unusually high 86. Crept down to 80 Thursday & Friday. Was 78 today when I started today, warmed a little. Hard getting in, but feels good later. Was talking with the pool director later and he came to realize I had a better idea of the equipment reliability than he (started this year.) "You gotta watch when the ground gets cold, heater works too much and dies slowly. Every.year. Ask Evoria or any regular." But we just replaced the pumps! "But not the heaters? Every winter. Buy a better element this time. Go look at the records and make Eric pony up. Every cold snap, you'll have issues." He thunked his head on the wall.
Kinda funny.
