Did our switch-over from evap cooling to air conditioning today. The last two days have just been terrible with temps of 109 and higher humidity, making the evap worse than useless. I usually switch over on the Independence Day weekend, so, I'm about on track.
One thing we miss without the cooler is we water our trees with the bleed-off. helps keep the mineral deposits down in the cooler, and we're not wasting the water down the drain. We have 100' of 1/4" PVC tubing that we move between the three trees during the week to give them each a watering. With the cooler disconnected, no more tree watering. And they need it.
So I rigged up a separate poly tube going to the water valve that normally goes to the cooler, and have it on a tribble flow to keep our trees alive. Once the monsoon rains start in earnest I can discontinue this stop-gate measure.
Nice getting out there and doing what I'm trained to do. makes me feel like I had a purpose today.
