We understand the whole CACL rust issue, the toxicity of Glycol and the cost of installation/maintenance differences. Our argument is based purely on which requires more HP. I won't state which side of the fence that I am on, but I do believe that my opinion is supported by the laws of physics. These father/son arguments seem to be abundant. The only consolation that I get is that even though I am alway wrong according to dad, in several months he will prove my point to himself and preach it as the gospel according to his experience. Any and all opinions are welcome and the more the better. Thanks for your time!
