Ah! Blaine, we got answer! Thanks everyone, now here is what we found out about the problem we were having with the goethermal system.

The geo technician came today and checked everything out again. We found out we couldn't hold 220 volts with everything on in the house. So, the electric company, was called by the geo tech who talked to them and the electric company came out and put a larger transformer by the road. That should take care of it.

Heat strips we found out come on two at a time and/or four at a time--we didn't know they work that way (I think someone in a much earlier post noted same). Now don't ask me anything about the Phase I, II etc--over my head!

I really, really think POND BOSS needs to add a section for Geothermal (for all us pondmeisters to share our wealth of knowledge (or lack thereof). Others asked and I'm asking too. \:\)
