Harbor freight sells a cheap "laser " thermometer that came in real handy for me checking temps at diffrent locations on my pump while I was designing my 4 foot by 4 foot screened box I mounted my pump in!! I found pump ran way too hot with small enclosures even with the fan blowing on it. IT NEEDS VENTILATION. And a lot of it! That is why I settled with 4x4 screened box and I put a WHITE ONLY metal roof on it to better keep it cool. I made one of the side panels removable for easy access to the pump if ever needed. So far after several years of non stop running it still works fine. The laser will come in handy for you just to keep check on what is going on. Good luck!

Dear Alcohol, We had a deal where you would make me funnier, smarter, and a better dancer... I saw the video... We need to talk.
