Aquahot PM and start/stop of new pump

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

Good morning Wallace:

That is true, you did have that idea to begin with and the Factory Aquahot
Reps backed it up. And it worked, even though I was reluctant at first. Of
course, I was also reluctant to "sour" your indigenous water system.
Now, had we added salad oil to the vinegar, it would have made for nice
lunch. The color may have been a little off and clash with the tomatoes
though. VBS
