My Dometic cooling unit did indeed have a valved service port. As did the two Norcold units that I replaced for customers. Your mileage may vary.

This was shot from the storage lot because it's far enuf away (~5miles) to see it. At the house on the other hand, maybe a mile from that plume, is essentially underneith it. The ash fallout is ridiclous, looks like snow.

No probs with flooding, we can't manage to get a sprinkle these days, hence the fire :(

No valve, they're all pinched and welded.

There is a service port on the cooling unit, with a valve that can be slowly opened. Make sure the valve is up or the sodium chromate will blow out and kill your grass. :S

How is the FIRE?

About 37,000 acres right now. They got control of the west end of the fire last night and are working on the East side over by Agua Dulce/ Acton. There's been a nonstop stream of equipment and personnel coming in and it sure showed yesterday. The suits are finally talking about buying a pair of super scoopers to keep in Van Nuys

HERE is a time lapse of the death of the West flank yesterday. I put the iPhone in the window and went back to wiring the fridge for awhile

Of course, the sodium chromate is pretty much what the Erin Brockovich story was about.

She doesn't live that far from me. Mebbe I can get her to come get it ? :)

Thanks Chris

Got it, thanks... Thats what I was afraid of. With my recent 2 month stay in the hospital thanks mostly to Pneumonia, I am particularity aware of things that might damage whats left. I'll call me HVAC friend and see what he recommends since I'll have two of them by the weekend. I know the Freon rules but not Ammonia, Sulfur, etc.
