well, like the others, its mostly a lot nicer to look at over the winter. but if the risk is high its definitely not worth it.

I have also been considering this. Any suggestions or warnings would be greatly appreciated. -I live in South NJ (Phila area). Jan and Feb are the most worrisome months , avg lows 26 &29 -I also have a variable speed pump. was planning on running on about 1000rpm 18hrs/day maybe slower when...

Aug 4. 6am - FC 27.5 ppm

Aug 3- 8pm FC= 29 ppm.

How's this?
