Supposed to be another hot one today.


That big blip was due to yesterday :D

2 degrees is a big blip? I'm more concerned with the big dip on you graph :p 73? Did you remove the sensor for a second?

Mine ran cooler yesterday then all week. I set up fans, cleaned my pumps (to be more efficient), cleaned my vent fan and opened windows. It only got to 78.5 :)
 
Well yeah 2 degrees is a big blip for me :D ... in fact yeah it must not have been THAT hot of a day (hey I'm all the way up here in SF) for it to only go up for that short period of time. But it did get noticeable hotter yesterday.

Can't say what that dip is, but thinking about what I was doing on Friday around that time... nothing I did influenced it, if I had to put it on anything I'd say some sort of garbage/noise in the system. However being as that "dip" occurred over a 5 minute period (basically *A* data point) I'm not concerned at all, since I can't imagine what would have the ability to drop 200+g of water by 4 degrees, then raise it by 4 degrees all in a time span of ~10 minutes. I don't put my FW top off anywhere near the sensor, it is down stream, but not that close that it'd make a significant difference.
 
hit 98 yesterday and looks like it will do that again today :) good thing I have AC!.....(at work too which is good, cause that is where I am at now :p)
Biked in yesterday and today....talk about a being a sweaty mess!
 
Yah but "water weight" :lol:

It never got that bad here in SC. Low 90's. The way my house is set up, it doesn't warm up until late afternoon. If I keep it open and fans on, the hottest day will only get my tank to 82. I've never seen it higher then that. In fact I've never set-up my chiller as it's really not needed. If I know it's going to be super hot and I can't open my house, I leave the halides off for the day. No harm in doing that :)
 
lol. Just about. I drank about 4 water bottles when I got to work (plus the one on the way in) yesterday. incoming tmi: In the morning, I weighted myself naked, before breakfast. When I got home from work, dressed in my bike clothes, and after breakfast and lunch, I was 1.2 lbs lighter.

There is a reason I brought in a change of clothes with me yesterday and today lol.
 
Decided to come home from work early. Another bike ride in 95F weather, and I dropped another lb lol. Go go dehydration. Though I must say, I am getting the most fantastic farmer's tan!!!! Super sexy.
 
I am sooooo glad that I am putting in a new heater and AC in my house with weekends like this one. En Fuego with those 400W lights cranking away. Very thankful for my chiller.
 
Bryan, are you putting one in or already put it in? There is an energy rebate from the gov. for AC, heater, doors and windows and a bunch of other stuff. It's 30%, up to $1500.

Putting one it... Don't you worry, I did plenty of research on the tax credits. $1,500 from the IRS and $300 from PG&E. It goes in this week, had the asbestos ducts and the portion of my more then 80 year old furnace removed last week.

Went with a 96% efficient furnace.
 
my room gets fully oven like even in the most mild of the warmer days, so when it gets really hot, it's no joke, but the tank never got above 80 thanks to my chiller :)
 
My upstairs (living area) used to be the same way on those few days a year it actually got hot in SF. One of the reasons I moved the tank downstairs... the others being that saltwater doesn't treat untreated hardwood floors very kindly, humidity, sound, relationships... wait scratch the last one :D
