Take out the element and install a SS plug

I always say during the summer that I want it to be winter, but as soon as winter comes, I wish it was warmer out! Not necessarily 90*, but maybe in the 80's. I think the coldest it has gotten here in Texas this year is in the 50's.

I might want to do that with my system. The only thing I would consider with this is how far is the Wall plug from the...

Yep, I would never use ground as my neutral and never have. I have been doing 110v wiring since I was pretty young, but never really delved into 220v... It might be better to run the 120V pumps in the future on separate lines so I don't have to run say a 40 or 50amp line... That electrical article really cleared up 220v for me... I really thought you needed a neutral for completing the circuit... learn something every day... So, I think...

Instead of cyberbackpacker's 4 wire , I picked up a 3 wire GFCI cord for my electirc HLT, but there's nothing running...

Beats me what it is called. It's quite far back on the faucet.... my glasses never come anywhere near it, but call it what you want.

Before you swap the line out try running some hot cleaner through it. Let it sit in the line for for a few minutes and then flush it out with clean water. Let some plain water sit in the lines after that for an hour or so and then pour a glass and smell it. Get another person to smell it and ask them what they smell. Don't prompt them with "Does this smell like iodine?"
