[TowerTalk] steppIR rubber boots

[N4NW]

I looked on Google and found these results for lEPDM liner custom cut.

http://www.pondpals.com/pond_liners/index.html

I have several small yard ponds and I use 40mil EPDM.  When I got my 
SteppIR and after having read all the problems with the boot it was 
simple to realize that one piece of liner about 12 inches wide from a 
10 foot roll would cover every one of the boots.

Cute the liner in pieces that will cover the boot from boot to about 
2 inches past and sufficient to go all the way around the element 
boot. Secure both ends with stainless steel hose clamps - ensuring 
the over lap is in the downside so the rain drains out not in.
