Hey Ron! In case you haven't noticed, I like to ask lots of questions, but this time, I actually have some advice. A while back, some guy asked about the effect of rain on systems. Living in Alabama, I had trouble with real heavy rains flooding my system and reducing my PPM by a lot. To fix this, I just unscrewed my
pump hose connector and screwed in a Y-valve and screwed the connector back in Whenever heavy rain is forecasted and it begins to sprinkle, I just turn off my pump and flip the Y-valve to drain the water. I actually collect the water, however, because it's not as limey as my tap water and, hey, it's free. I do have a rain-related question, however. My system is plugged into an outdoors socket, and I want to shield it somehow so when it rains my porch isn't the ground for an electric discharge. Also, I want to protect my timer. I have been putting a plastic bag over the timer, but moisture somehow still seems to get in. Any ideas?
