Update - No dead fish last night. So I added ~1200 gallons and ran the diffuser full time. ~4PM the diffuser (Blue Diamond ET80) quit, it was super hot. I took it off and put it under a fan for an hour, it started back up. Spoke to Blue Diamond and as I suspected, they have a thermal cut off at 140F. ( got more info from them if anyone is interested, they aren't happy with my diffuser choice either, but they were very professional and helpful) So, I'm not running the diffuser from 11am till 5pm to avoid the hottest part and we'll keep our fingers crossed. I plan on adding ~1" a day to maintain the current level. Fingers crossed.
Dave Davidson, sorry to hear that. This heat is brutal, but the longevity of it isn't giving anything a break. I have two other equipment failures and yup, both on the west side of the house. I'm hearing 10 more days of it, then maybe a break. Thanks folks.
