 +====Additional notes====
 +  * I noticed some scale in the reservoir so I cleaned the cooler on 5/21/15
 +  *  I wiped down the inside then added 1 tablespoon of bleach to a quart of water, ran that through, then I flushed a little over 10 gallons of water through the tank, alternating between the two spigots.
 +  *  I managed to overheat the solenoid valve and it failed closed. I unplugged the controls, waited about 10 minutes and the valve reset itself after cooling down.
 +  * I'm going to check with Ron about the metal leads, there's some galvanic action. The machine screw connected to the red wire appears to be turning a reddish yellow color.
